Hello all,
I think that I have mostly recovered our subscribers file. If you
dropped the list in the last two weeks, I may likely have resubscribed
you, although I also sent you a message saying I have done so. Please
either drop it again, or drop me a note and I will do it for you.
You may have seen on a few of the recent mailings that have gone out a
[]ed translation with the form [translation - Ed.] rather than the
[translation - Mod.]. That is because we now have second person acting
in "editor" mode for mail-jewish. This is Shaul Wallach, who has
volunteered to help me out with putting together the mail-jewish issues.
Thanks a lot, Shaul! Just to clarify what I mean by editor, I first read
all messages that come in to me, if there are any issues that need to be
resolved vis a vis content, I take care of that (using my moderator
hat). I will then either put the issue together directly, or ship the
messages to Shaul, who will take the individual messages, and put them
in the mailing format. If he sees words that need to be translated, he
will put them in with the Ed. notation, and I will use the Mod.
notation. This will help keep the backlog from building due to my not
having enough time.
I will keep to the notion of not putting out more than 4 issues per day.
There was mixed replies to the question batching them versus spreading
them out during the day, so I will leave it as a random function for
now.

Subject: Inquiry - Rabbi or Cantor position
I have a friend of the family who is currently serving as a Cantor
out in the Mid-West. He and his family are seeking to relocate (back)
to the North East Area. He is seeking a Rabbi or Cantor position
preferrably in the Northeast.
As my discussion continued with members of his family, I thought of your
list (which I read on the internet listing), and wondered if you or your
readership might know of an opportunities that he might pursue, or another
means by which he might proceed with such a search.
I am not subscribed with your list and would appreciate any private
replies at "<mccoy_j@...>" without the quotation marks.
You may post this note if you wish. I wish to express appreciation
in advance for any assistance that you might provide.
Sincerely
Jonathan McCoy

Subject: Re: Kashrut Organization "KOA"
From: <qgs4619@...> (Daniel Pittinsky)
Would appreciate information on a Kashrus organization called "KOA".
Symbol consists of map of U.S.A. with words "KOA" inside.
These are the initials of CA-based Kashrut Overseers of America.
Their usual symbol is a K with a semicircle to the left of
the vertical ("half-moon-K").
I don't personally hold by them, but your mileage may vary.

Subject: Looking to Lease in Boston
I am looking for a 3 BR, 2 BA apt to rent from 12/93 to 1/95.
We are Kosher, and I will be doing a one year fellowship at Beth Israel
Hospital. Therefore the ideal apt would be in Brookline, and have a
kosher kitchen. Furnished is also a plus.
Please e-mail responses; thank you.

Subject: Re: Missing Nun and Techeles.
1) Two years ago Meir Bar-Ilan published a note in Journal of Biblical
Literature supplying the ashrei "nun" verse from what he claims is a
very ancient work, "Gad, the Seer"-- . also one should note the worthy
comment of the Meshech Hahochmo on the value of asheri-- "alphabet and
praise of God's feeding the world."-- Rav Meir Simcha says that there
is predictable order in the world (=alphabet) but nonetheless there
is worked in to this the incidence of the miraculous (=God supplies
the world with enough things to support life for all creatures.)
2) As far as I know Rambam doesnt say anything about using white
tzitzis-- he gives the recipe for techelet and notes the rule that "not
using techeles does not invalidate the commandment of tzitzis" (unlike
R. Yehuda Hanassi who disqualifies tsitsis without techeles). All this
is in ch2 of hilchos tzitzis.
