I'd appreciate your assistance:
This is Prof. Jeff Lambert (LIU) from New York City. I am currently involved with the New York City Board of Jewish Education helping to develop a new aspect of the MARCH OF THE LIVING -- An educational visit to Poland and Israel that will bring together 7,000 Jewish high school students from around the world. We are planning, for the first time, to involve and provide services for Jewish deaf and heard of hearing high school students who wish to participate, side by side with hearing Jewish students. The actual trip will be from April 29 -May 15. There will also be educational seminars, computer chat and other activities between January and the actual trip. I would like to "get the word out" to potential participants -- deaf or hard of hearing high school students. Individuals from the New York City Metropolitan Area are preferred but applications from high school students from other areas of the state or the country would also be considered. Individuals who would like additional information should e-mail me at: JacquesGEB@AOL.COM
Thank you for your assistance.

Hi,
I am seeking information on a large loving cup I just bought - it is inscribed with " presented to Lou A. Cohen teacher of the Jewish religious class of the Society for the Welfare of the Jewish Deaf by the Fanwood pupils Feb. 28. 1915. What do you know about this organization? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Dear Sharon,
Please note that I donated fifty dollars. Some of the money will go to the JDCC Newsletter subscription renewal and the rest will go to the JDCC News Fund.
I wish that I lived closer to your house so that I can volunteer my time helping you. But driving on the freeways is not my idea of fun. Driving on freeways petrifies me. But what I can do for you, must be on either on the internet or TTY.
By the way, did you go to the Deaf Expo Art Exhibit? Did you notice that the photo of a young man with the saxophone? It was my dad. He was a survivor of Holocaust. He and the others used to play jazz when the Nazism came to power. The despicable dictator (Hitler) ruled that jazz and the other art were degenerate and therefore must be banned. His idea of art and music must narrow to the classic or militaristic music and idyllic paintings of Germanic classics. Others than that were considered as "Degenerate Art". I got the idea of the man playing jazz (Jazz notes), the ghosts of the deeds coming out of his saxophone, the image of the prisoner touching his head as more of his nightmare and his bow tie and hanky on fire, symbolizing the cematorium. I want to honor of my dad's survival and this is one way to honor his history. Unfortunately, he passed away in 1983 due to cerebral accident (in other word, stroke) long before the movie, Schlinder's List, came out. He was only 69 years old when he passed away.
Please accept my compliments to your hard work on Rosh Hashana. It was very impressive. Shalom.
