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.

In closing let me say that the vision that lies before us
is MUCH larger than Helen and I, and can ONLY be
fulfilled through the faithful partnership of people like
you. We not only need your prayers we also need a
grand army of people who will hold up our hands
through financial support in order to maintain the
mammoth advances that we are encountering this
year in this pioneering work. Please allow me to
remind you of the five levels you can partner with us in
this historical adventure of 'gutsy' faith.
