					|  | Thank You  I want to thank the host of you who responded to my 
first (new) newsletter, which went out a week ago. I'm 
told we had a better than average reaction to this 
report. I also want to appreciate those of you who have 
promised to put us on your contribution list this New 
Year.  A few of you have already sent me kind notes 
with warm promises of setting your contribution in the 
mail post haste. 
  I'm happy to report that we're finally getting the 
works in terms of automation and computerization. 
Therefore, very soon you'll be able to purchase 
materials as well as make your contributions via 
credit card. We're also giving our website a major 
overhaul. You'll like it! Wait and see!  In fact, if you go 
to www.4sephardim.
com you can track our progress that'll begin this 
week.
 
  Meanwhile, we're also upgrading the television 
production arm of our work. God has tremendously 
blessed us with FREE production and airtime on a 
major satellite television station called GLC, God's 
Learning Channel. Its signal covers much of the 
Southwest of our nation as well as foreign locations 
such as the Philippines and the Middle East. I now 
have around 70 half-hour broadcast- quality 
productions on DVD in English and over 30 in 
Spanish. As you can see, your contributions and 
donations go a long, long way with us.
 
  On the Israeli front, our personal aliyah application 
paperwork has gone from our domestic aliyah center 
in the U.S. to the Jewish Agency in Jerusalem. It's 
presently in Israel's Ministry of Interior in Jerusalem. 
Recent reports tell us that "it's looking good" and for 
us not to worry about it. Our file is one of only two 
cases that are unprecedented. So we're at the verge 
of making history. Baruch Ha'Shem, praise the 
Lord.
 
  We have just set in motion a new strategy for the work 
we do. While we continue to do more and more of 
what we've done for the last 12 years, we're now laser-
pointing at two specific targets. We're zeroing in 
on "institutional advocacy" which means we lobby 
the "people in power" that have any say towards the 
aliyah of Sephardic Anusim.  On the other hand, we're 
pin-pointing Sephardic Hispanic/Latinos who are 
ready to enter the rigorous pathway leading to aliyah! 
This is a most complex arena but we've had good 
success thus far. If you think you're ready and/or have 
a small group of those that believe they too are ready 
for this step in their lives, send me a blurb via email. 
I'm committed to follow up by telephone and in person 
with cases that prove to be seriously ready.
