Well, there are many organizations like Oxfam and Save The Children, but I decided on the "Rescue Emergency Fund" run by The American Association for Ethiopian Jewry. I called them, and they said that they are sending doctors, food, and medical supplies directly to the villages rather than merely setting up centralized stations. Also, they are getting people to Israel on "educational scholarships", but only on the order of 10-20 people a shot. They say most Jews left in Ethiopia are very old or very young, so food and medicine is more important now than resettlement. Their address is: AAEJ Rescue Emergency Fund 2789 Oak Street Highland Park, Ill. 60035 Telephone: (312) 433-8150 (Thanks to Marc Harrison in Holmdel for the phone # and address) -- glenn kapetansky "Think of it as evolution in action" ...ihnp4!ihu1j!gek
