Subject: Demostration in Kikar Tzion last Friday

On Fri morn the Nissuy Jr.-Sr High held a  demonstration at Kikar Tzion and 
the Midrachov.  The university also had  a protest goin so there were a lot 
of people. With plastic horns, whistles, drums  and  signs we marched up and 
down  the street. I had a sign "If you can read this, thank your English 
teacher.".. (Thank you to whoever first used this slogan and to Rafi Beigel 
who made my sign )

 I split off from the "crowd" and took off on sidestreets where there were 
lots of younger people. I stopped in front of them, not saying 
anything..some people who couldn't read thought I was panhandling.....some 
gave me money!!!

BUt many read the sign (or tried to) ...most  understood the sign and 
smiled..Whenever I saw they stopped to read I said "Your welcome"  and 
almost always got a smile.. A few laughed and said.."Thank you ,Judy".. It 
turned out to be former students!!!  and one English teacher,,Good to see 
you, Jack!!

Anyway, if any of you are carrying this sign it really is important to stop 
in front of people and get them to read it..and saying "Your Welcome" really 
is powerful!!!

 Monday from 10 to 2 the Nissuy will be having classes in the students' 
"rotest tent " at Gan Vradim"
                                                                             
                        jesg
