New programs that we have discovered this year have an asterisk (*). 2. In most cases, we have changed the names of people referred to in e-mails sent from our heroes. 3. Frequently, the total contribution any project receives is not a single grant. As more money comes in, we give it away. For example, Alice Jonah received 7 checks totaling $11,850 over a 12-month period. 4. Some of the projects could easily be categorized in more than one section. 5. Terminology: (A) Vocabulary relating to individuals with disabilities and gender terminology remain in flux, with little universal agreement. We all struggle to find appropriate terms, some more satisfying than others. For example, we use “hero” for both masculine and feminine forms, as in the usage of “actor” for both genders. Words do make a difference. We are trying our best. (B) Some of the Hebrew words in the Report have many meanings. The following is the usage of our most frequent terms: Tzedakah-Performing Acts of Justice, Doing the Right Thing; generally “a commandment,” here “A good deed,” Tzaddik, Tzadeket, a Good/Righteous Person; Tikkun Olam-Fixing the World, and Kavod-Dignity. 6. A few of the sections have been copied from last year’s Report. In several of these, we simply added the latest updates. (It is very difficult to think of new ways to sing the praises of our Mitzvah heroes and projects.) 7. A technical note about calls to Israel: When dialing from the United States, 011 is the international hook-up, and 972 is the country code for Israel. For example, to reach Anita Shkedi’s cell-phone, you dial 011-972-67-205-886. With international calls, you do not include the zero in the area code. From within Israel, you do include the “0” of the area code: 067-205-886. 8. Another technical note: a period, comma, or semicolon at the end of an e-mail address or website is not part of the address or website URL. |
