I'd be really happy if you could advise me on a good place to study and maybe on a place where I can stay / something that I could do (work) while studying. Thankyou Roni

Thanks for the responses to my previous message of Aug 15. On my upcoming visit I am seeking connections in the film industry. Particularly, producers or writer/producers who have a successful track record. I am currently considering an option offer from a reputable LA Production company for the rights to my life story. A significant portion of the story is devoted to life and times in Australia and should lend itself to an Australian production opportunity. Thanks.

I live in Holland. Where I live you can still see the scars of war, a countless amount of bunkers and tanktraps. It gives me strange feeling when I walk through the dunes knowing that 60 years ago soldiers "decorated" this seenery.

War wil never stop as long as people think different, but thinking different is what's so fun about being human. If we all thouht the same the world woull'd be a dull place. But this is in no way an excuse to unleash hell upon certain groups of people.

Comment: We are a kosher (but not Shomrei Shabbat) family living in London (UK). We are currently looking for a nanny/mother's help/au pair (or any combination of the above) to live with us for 6-12 months (and possibly longer). We would prefer an English speaker, hence our search for someone from Australia/NZ, and also thought we might be attractive to a jewish girl planning to come to the UK who would like a "home from home". If you are interested, know of someone who may be interested, or know where we can put a notice where potentially interested people may spot it, please let us know! We are looking for someone from the end of May, or possibly starting in September. We have 3 daughters, the eldest aged 3, and 3-week old twins, so experience of very young children would be an advantage. The work involved would obviously depend on the experience/qualification of the individual.

Comment: My name is Michelle, I'm a 30 year old woman and I am currently approaching the process of conversion to Judaism from Christianity. I am very keen to learn not only about the religion but about everyday Jewish life in Sydney. Unfortunately I do not have very many Jewish friends to share things with and I also live in the inner west (leichhardt) which does not seem to have a large community. I was wondering if anyone would like to meet on a friendly basis to share a little bit of your culture and life with a newbie. I would really appreciate the assistance and sharing.
