Israel Helps Katrina Victims

Israel will send both
Jerusalem/JTA
personnel and supplies to help in
Hurricane Katrina rescue efforts. The
first shipments will include military-
type food rations, water, tents, genera-
tors, diapers and bedding, the Israeli
daily Hdaretz reported.
A team of Israeli medical and men-
tal health workers are arriving in
Louisiana to help, as is a U.S. team
from the Jewish relief group Zaka.
Meanwhile, Israel's ambassador to
Washington said a special U.S. grant
to cover the Gaza Strip withdrawal
would be put on hold because of
Katrina. But Ambassador Daniel
Ayalon said Monday there is no doubt
that the aid from Congress — Israel is
asking for $2.2 billion — would even-
tually come through.

The Day Of

The Shul are for the
entire community. The Shul is a place for anybody
to feel the sweetness of the New Year without
having to be judged, at least not by us. Everybody
should have a place to feel comfortable on the High
Holidays. We feel strongly about that.

JUDGEMENT

It's sweet enough for every Jew. That's why we
will have exciting services (Hebrew and English),
children's programs, classes (during service times),
a warm environment with friendly people — and a
serious Kiddush.

In A Non-Judgemental

Environment

Our big and friendly Shul has plenty of room for every
Jew. Which is how we want it to be.

You are invited but you need to call The Shul (248-
788-4000) and register. We will save you a seat.

Rosh HaShanah services should be perfect for every
Jew, and at The Shul they are.

Mideast Aid And Katrina

Washington/JTA — The success of
Israel's withdrawal from Gaza
depends, all sides have said, on the
day after.
But unresolved border questions, a
climate of political uncertainty and
even the aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina have cast shadows over how
the United States will help fund the
next stage.
The U.S. may delay sending funds
to Israel and the Palestinians, insiders
say, because of concerns about
Palestinian Authority leadership, a
wait-and-see attitude as Israelis and
Palestinians both head into elections
and discomfort over how Americans
transfixed by Katrina's devastation will
view money spent thousands of miles
away.
Senior congressional officials from
both the Republican and Democratic
parties, who declined go on record,
said it would be considered bad taste
right now to announce a major aid
package in the Middle East as
Congress scrambles to assist hundreds
of thousands of people made homeless
across the Gulf of Mexico.
Some predicted a delay of at least
two weeks.
Israel wants cash — reports have
suggested more than $2 billion — to
help resettle the 9,000 settlers evacu-
ated from Gaza and a portion of the
northern West Bank as well as to
rebuild military bases inside Israel.
The Palestinians are hoping for
funds beyond the $50 million they
received last month.

ROSH HASHANAH SERVICES AT

At least in our judgement.
