Yad Ezra Benefits
From
Picture-Perfect Reunion
Would you pay $20 for this photo? Well 50 descendants of Esther Leah (Berwikunen) Simonsky said
at a recent reunion in Southfield. And all of the proceeds, $1,000, went to Yad Ezra, the Detroit area's
only kosher food pantry.
The reunion attracted 140 -guests from 20 states and Europe. Detroit area descendants included mem-
bers of the Diamond, Feldman, Fraiberg, Goodman, Isaacs, Kass, Kline, Kovan, Lampear, Malley,
Manson, Nagel, Sander, Sinfer, Zager and Zeiger families.

BOSNIA
needs your help
The Greater Detroit Chapter of Hadassah
and its Nurses Council
are collecting warm clothing and medical supplies
to send to Sarajevo
Hadassah sent 33 tons of medical supplies and clothing to Sarajevo in February
1995. This is the largest single shipment of relief items sent into Bosnia from a
private organization. In July 1995, Hadassah rescued 2 adults and 4 children
from Tuzia and Zenica and airlifted them to our hospitals in Israel. They require
long-term, costly care which no other country or organization was willing to
provide. For almost 85 years, Hadassah has been involved in helping care
for the sick and wounded, as well as rescuing those in need. Help us bring
some measure of relief to the residents of war-torn Bosnia.
Drop off new warm clothing and medical supplies
e.g. bandages, medicines, etc.
(no glass containers, no expired medications)
