I agree with what you are saying but I just can't stop tilting at windmills
and hoping that at least part of this madness will go away. I hope that
you will take the few minutes and send out the letters. I am working on
getting email and/or fax numbers for all of the concerned- Shay Piron, Dr
Steiner, Ahuva Saidoff and Dr. Chaya Leshem, Dr. Moshe Diklo. When I get
that info I will send it, along with a copy of the letter I have written,
in hope that EVERYONE who agrees in the slightest will join in sending a
copy to those in charge
