972.0. "L'hitraot" by PEPPR::REISS (Fern Alyza Reiss) Thu Aug 23 1990 01:55


Well, it has been really a pleasure to be part of this conference
and "meet" so many of you!

Jonathan and I will soon be leaving on our dream trip: an ultra-low-budget
journey around the world!  If anyone has friends whom you wouldn't mind having
us look up, we'd love to get their names.  After our trip we'll be settling 
in Israel for two years, so would be happy to return the hospitality over 
there.   Our current itinerary is Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Botswana, 
India, Nepal, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Bali, China, 
Japan, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand.  (Phew!)

You can reach me on PEPPR until Labor Day; or until mid-October, at
LUGGER::HARRIS, or via snail mail at 1200 Mass Ave #34E,
Cambridge, MA 02138.  We'd also be interested in hearing about any 
interesting Jewish communities on our route.  

Thanks!  It's been fun!  
/Fern

P.S. Send mail to our Cambridge address if you'd like to come visit us 
in Israel; all guests welcome!

   I happened to meet Jonathan and Fern last week in shul in Hong Kong.
   They are having a great time and asked me to convey their best regards 
   to all BAGLER's.  
972.3Hope you said hello!CADSYS::HECTOR::RICHARDSONTue Dec 17 1991 19:115
    That's great!  I hope you said hello to them for all of us?
    
    Were they at Ohel Leah or the new schul in Kowloon?

  For sure!

  Chabad in the Hilton.  BTW there is no shul in Kowloon.  There 
  is a four month old break-away from Ohel Leah but it's on the 
  Hong Kong side.  The only thing in Kowloon is a sometimes minyan 
  in the Regent Hotel.
972.5I never found it either...CADSYS::HECTOR::RICHARDSONWed Dec 18 1991 18:569
    Well, someone had given me the address of one that was supposed to be
    someplace near the big mosque on the edge of the park with the aviary -
    never did find it, however!  Ohel Leah, however, is an interesting work
    of Sephardic architecture - I think the original membership were mostly
    Iraqi Jews who were merchants.  I was in Hong Kong 4 1/2 years ago, but
    only for a few days - it's a real interesting place.  I hope Fern, who
    used to work around the corner here, is having a fascinating time!
