taking a tip from the math teachers (who as of this september will not have a mikud, but have been promised that they will have less material to teach. but they haven't yet been told exactly what will be taken off) - maybe we should add the chairman of the knesset education committee to our list of addressees. he is Zevulun Orlev: (i hope that's how he spells his name) phone # at the knesset 02-6408054 fax: 02-6753709 zorlev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx on his info on the knesset site, it says he speaks english. so maybe we can send him letters in english. his knesset page: http://www.knesset.gov.il/mk/heb/mk.asp?ID=194 the education committee : http://portal.knesset.gov.il/Com8chinuch/he-IL/CommitteeMembersDetails.htm orlev's site: http://www.orlevz.co.il/index.asp -- sara g in israel sarag@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx saragabai@xxxxxxxxx Visit us at The E Zone http://clickit3.ort.org.il/ganyavneenglish ----------------------------------------------- ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
