exhibit original work on paper June 19-24 at Sinclair Centre "Atrium'*. She and architect Brian Kramer, did the interior design for the imposing new Schara Tze-deck memorial chapel.
Rabbi Avi Weiss spoke here recently, within two days touching on no fewer than six subject areas, at no less than six venues . . . See Page 1 for coverage of his main address to the community at S.T. — faith after the Holocaust . . . Friday morning. May 12, at Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre, he spoke on AMCHA's work, expanding at noon for Talmud Torah grades 6 and 7 and Maimonldes High School students, when he delved into the importance of standing for what we believe as proud Jews, via helping Jonathan Pollard and Israeli soldiers missing in action . . . His Shabbos morning Torah sermon was given at Schara Tzedeck, while in the afternoon Rabbi Weiss spent nearly two hours at the home of Rabbi Mordecai and Shayndel Feuerstein captivating a gathering about women's issues, on which Weiss wrote the book (Women at Prayer, Ktav) . . . And that night, NCSY-ers exchanged views with him during Shalosh Seudos, held at the home of Rabbi Daniel and Joy Epstein. * * «

And now a local angle about Lewis and her sheepish pal. Lamb Chop, both in town taping Lamb Chop's Special Chanukah for December viewing . . . After reading Ariela Friedmann's interview with Lewis (JWB May 25 "Lamb Chop plans a holiday baaaash"), Marion Cassirer, co-owner of Yeru-shalem Imports, excitedly called to report that prop people from the show popped into her store to purchase all her left-over Chanuka supplies (including wrapping paper, drei-dles, candles, toys and books) to use for the TV special ... By the by, Yeru-shalem Imports carries two of Lewis' children books: The One-Minute Bible Stories and One-Minute Jewish Stories, both published by Dell Yearling.

A sidelight to the OKC bombing tragedy . . . Hundreds of relatives of victims gathered the following Sunday directly after the horrific blast, at an Oklahoma City church to hear a Boston rabbi who is an expert in helping people deal with grief. . . Tears flowed freely and were wiped away repeatedly when Rabbi Earl GroHman spoke to the survivors and family of the still missing . . . Read on.

Grollman told them: "Grief is a long process. When someone is missing, part of you is missing. When someone has died, part of you has died. If it is the death of a child, it is the death of the future. If it is the death of a parent, it is the death of the past. If it is the death of a spouse, it is the death of the present."

Since I couldn't be in Israel for Yom Yerushalayim (May 28), I did the next best thing — I took a "virtual tour" of the city! In the past, I frequently had to seach for "The Lost URLs of Israel". But an informal survey of today's URLs in Israel suggests that Jerusalem (very appropriately!) is rapidly becoming the capital of cyber-Israel.
The Jerusalem Mosaic Home Page (http://wwwl.huji.ac.il/jeru/jerusalem.html), like most Home Pages on the WWW, will also let you know "What's New". One of the new links I visited recently, is Yad Vashem {http:lIyvs.shani.coAl). The photographs and testimonies on the "Anguish of Liberation" page {hitp://yvs.shani.co.il/libindex/html) are very moving.
Another new link, the Chagall Windows (http://wwwLhuji.ac.il/mdlchagall/chagall.html) at the synagogue of the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Centre (http://wwwLhuji.ac.il/md/chagaIl/had.html) is beautiful. Definitely a "must see"!
Oh, how do I know how new it is? Well, there is a nifty little "counter" on the page which told me that I was "visitor no. 101". These "visit counter" boxes seem to be popping up on many WWW pages lately.
So much for the "Lost URLs of Israel"! But speaking of U R Ls, you may have noticed that in the gobbledygook there are some "common" threads — as might be expected since "URL" is the acronym for Uniform Resource Locator which, in turn, is a fancy expression for "computer address".
They all start with "http://" and most end with ".html". And if you happen to see any blank spaces in the text between the first "h" and the last "I", rest assured that such spaces are either figments of your imagination — or the work of printer gremlins.
Every www-kosher URL will have the ";//" (colon-slash-slash) followed by a spicy mixture of letters, slashes, dots and digits. But a slipped slash here — or a dropped dot there — will render it treif and it just won't work!
And, in case you were wondering. MiXing-uPper-and-LowErcase is permitted . . . but, to keep the URL "kosher", the mixture must be exactly the same as the "recipe" calls for!
