Aleph Institute, a Chabad-affili-
ated group that ministers to Jews
in prison and the military,
organized the Torah dedication.
The Torah is locked in an olive-
wood ark made in Israel.

Rita Hits Synagogue

New York/JTA — Torah scrolls
that had been evacuated from
New Orleans to Baton Rouge
because of Hurricane Katrina
were again moved to keep them
safe after Rita.
"They had to re-rescue the
Torahs that had already been res-
cued once," Emily Grotta, a
spokeswoman for the Union for
Reform Judaism, said of the
scrolls that were being kept at
Beth Shalom Synagogue. The
synagogue's ceiling was badly
damaged, leading to flooding in
the sanctuary and the social hall,
but the Torahs were unharmed.
Congregation Gates of Prayer
in Metairie, La., had its sanctu-
ary flooded in Katrina. Other
synagogues in the area were
operating out of parking lots,
other temples and even a neigh-
boring church.

Katrina Telethon

Pacific Grove, Calif.IJTA —
Hurricane Katrina was the big
draw at the 25th annual Chabad
telethon, which raised $6.2 mil-
lion for Chabad West Coast insti-
tutions. Celebrity guests and
Chabad rabbis from the Gulf
Coast implored donors during an
eight-hour live broadcast to add
to their pledges to help hurricane
victims through Chabad.
The telethon has raised mil-
lions every year for Chabad
activities on the West Coast,
where Chabad has more than
200 institutions.

Washington/JTA — Employees of
the American Israel Public
Affairs Committee sign an agree-
ment that protects them from
legal harm until all appeals are
exhausted, according to a source
close to the defense of Steve
Rosen and Keith Weissman who
has firsthand knowledge of the

defense had topped $1 million
