Contacting Friends and Family

Locating and contacting those who have been displaced by Katrina and those from affected communities who may be away at school is of primary concern to KESHER. In an effort to not duplicate efforts, we would like to provide you with information about what Hillel and the URJ are doing to collect this information.

THROUGH HILLEL
Hillel is working with the United Jewish Communities to help locate members of the Jewish community displaced by the hurricane. Individuals should send their names to Adam Bronstone at
adam@jewishnola.com. Jews from other affected Gulf Coast communities should contact Richard Klein at richard.klein@ujc.org.

THROUGH KESHER and THE UNION FOR REFORM JUDAISM
After you have been in touch with Adam Bronstone or Richard Klein to provide your contact information, please feel free to be in touch with KESHER so that we can support you in any way possible. We are happy to serve as a sounding board for students who want to develop more ideas about ways to help. We are also here to support you, to provide a shoulder to lean on or a listening ear.

Additionally, we encourage you to let other KESHER students know where you are and/or share your stories on the KESHER Connects Message Board at http://keshercollege.org/socialaction/hurricanerelief/share/.

You can also check out the message boards for congregations in the effected areas to post offers of assistance or find out information about those displaced by the hurricane. Those message boards can be found at:
