As a result, too many individuals continue to choose between food and pre- scription drugs or otherwise do not eat three nutritious meals each day. With thousands of grass-roots financial supporters and hard- working volunteers, Yad Ezra is blessed with a strong base upon which to grow. As I look back on Michael Eizelman's late-night su- permarket visits to buy food for Yad Ezra's first clients, I am sat- isfied that Yad Ezra continues to follow a course of which our corn- munity should be proud. With your support during the corning years, our community will continue to be proud of its ac- complishments in looking out for its needy brethren.

BLOOMFIELD GROSSE POINTE 399-1800 788-9073 YAD EZRA page 8 882-4870 New York (JTA) — As the bor- ders of the Chechen war ex- panded, Jews from the area continued to find safety in Israel. A Jewish Agency for Israel refugee camp in the breakaway Russian republic of Chechnya closed its gates when its occu- pants left for Israel. At the same time, in nearby Dagestan, another crisis was un- der way, with at least one Jew re- ported to be victimized by the new round of fighting. Russian troops this week bom- barded areas of Dagestan, a re- public within the Russian federation just across the border from Chechnya. The bombing came after Chechen separatist rebels refused to surrender dozens of hostages. The crisis erupted Jan. 9 when a band led by a Chechen seces- sionist leader took over a hospi- tal with 2,000 people in it in the town of Kizlyar. Chaim Chesler, the head of the Jewish Agency office in the for- mer Soviet Union, confirmed that at least one hostage was Jewish. Additional information on the ongoing battle was not available. In Chechnya itself, separatists have fought Russian forces since December 1994. As the situation escalated this week, Russian artillery contin- ued to assault positions this week in southern Chechnya. But the Chechen aliyah con- tinued. After Mr. Chesler "locked by key the gate" of the P'atigorsk refugee camp, officially closing the site, he boarded an airplane — along with 31 Chechen refugees — bound for Israel. ci-/\
