Sderot Campaign-
- Betar has sent 120 letters to children in Sderot.  Kol Hakavod to everyone who participated in this project.
-The Betar/ZOA photo exhibit was at Green Road Synagogue  for Pesach. If you still haven't seen it, make sure you check it out. It is very powerful! Its next location T.B.A.
-We are still collecting money to help repair bomb shelters in Sderot. Checks can be sent to Betar (2121 S. Green Rd. South Euclid, OH 44121) and should be made payable to "Sderot Media Center." In the memo line write-"Shelter renovation project."
So far, over  $2,000 have been collected!!!

Case Western Reserve-
There was a letter/petition (written by a Betariyah- M.R.) circulating for high school students to sign that expresses concern over the recent rise in anti-Semitism and anti-Israel rhetoric at CWRU and basically says that we are hesitant to apply to CWRU unless the university takes steps to resolve the situation.
The letter was handed in last week with 75 signatures, and our sources tell us that it is having a BIG effect ! Kol Hakavod! The text of the letter will be posted soon...
