682.0. "American jewish holidays" by BONNET::SEBBAH () Wed Apr 12 1989 08:00

    Hello!
    I've entered Bagels only for a few weeks, but it seems to me very
    interesting. I'm located in VBO (south of France). I would like
    to ask if any jewish family could host my young sister-in-law who
    is 15 years old and would like to know the U.S. and improve her
    english. She would perhaps be more at ease if there was an adolescent 
    girl in the family.  The period she could travel is one month during 
    summer school holidays (july or august).
    
    Thanks in advance for your help.

682.1Welcome!!BMT::STEINBERGWed Apr 12 1989 15:086
    If she's planning to be in the New York area over a weekend, she's
    welcome to visit us for Shabbat. She'll certainly learn alot of
    English - the extent of our French is "Je ne comprend pas le Francais",
    along with "Bon appetite".
    		Wish her a bon voyage!!
    
682.2POSSIBLE HOSTFDCV02::CUSNERTue Apr 25 1989 13:5215
    I have a friend and neighbor who may be a possibility for your
    sister-in-law the family has five children ages from about 15 to
    2. The father is originally from France and has been in this country
    since he was about fourteen.
    
    The family is shomer shabbos and live in a suburban community south
    of Boston.
    
    If you would like me to ask contact them concerning your
    sister-in-law's forthcoming trip please send mail.

682.3How about the 50th State?SANFAN::STONEALTue Apr 25 1989 22:2620
    Hello Babeth,
    	We are with the DEC office in Hawaii (HWO) and have a 15 year old
    daughter.  If we could make the time work out it could be a great
    experience all around.  However, Elila is going to summer camp in
    California (Camp SWIG, a jewish camp) from mid-July to mid August,
    and her school here begins again in early September, so the time
    window would be narrow.  
    	We have relatives in California (Los Angeles) that could possibly host
    her part of the time and then Elila could meet up with her at the
    end of Camp and they could travel together here.
    	Sounds a bit complicated, but If you want to explore it, let
    me know.
    
    	My mail address is ALLAN STONE @HWO via All-in-1 or by VMS mail
    it is SANFAN::STONEAL.            
    
    Regards
    
    Allan
    together back here.
