Comment: I have some questions about the Jews, the first Judeo-Christians under the leadership of Peter the Apostle, and their descendants from the time of Jesus to the present. Somehow, the only informatiuon available and being taught at this time is about the converted gentile christians which was headed by Apostle Paul. God bless you.

Just when I thought my connection to Judaism could only be linked through living in a large metro area with a large Jewish population, I discovered your web site. I live in a small American city, with only 100-200 Jews in the whole town. It's nice to know you're out there. Shalom, Steve

I was diagnosed earlier this year and I have done the most incredible amount of research into it. My gastroenterologist says that I know more than him!! I am trying to get the Kashrut Authority to sanction gluten free foods. Is anyone interested in getting a support group together in Sydney. There are plenty of support groups but no Jewish ones.

I am a modern traditional jew and would like to write to people before I arrive so at least meeting people will not be such a daunting prospect.

 If you can help me or tell me where I can look on the internet it would be appreciated.

I'll eventually have to travel to Australia as there is not a Biet Din here to approve my conversion. Although I'll have a lot of study and a lot of self-discipline to instill in my life before then. Any converted Jews reading this please feel free to email me. I'd like to hear some stories.

Comment: Hi. I'm writing on behalf of the In One Voice festival which is held each March in Melbourne, Australia.

 In One Voice is the biggest cultural event in the Southern Hemisphere, attracting more than 15,000 people to the annual festival in Caulfield Park.

 Held on the weekend following the Grand Prix (probably March 13-14 in 1999 but dates to be finalised in October), the Sunday festival includes a six-hour open-air concert featuring amateur and professional Jewish performers, an art exhibition, community dancing, dispalys by more than 50 communal organisations ranging from the Jewish Secular Humanistic Society to Lubavitch Outreach, rides, foodstalls and more.

 On Saturday night, a mellower accoustic-style show is held. There are plans to add a mini-Jewish film festival, comedy, cooking demonstrations and more youth-oriented activities in 1999.

 The theme of our 1999 festival is: Throw away your stereotypes! There is more to the Melbourne Jewish community than you think! The aim of In One Voice is to celebrate all the diverse aspects of the Jewish community which combine to make us strong. It is the only way to see the entire Melbourne Jewish community in one day.

 I am seeking to make early contact with any teachers who are interested in bringing their students to the 1999 festival to perform at the Sunday concert alongside their counterparts from Melbourne.

 Acts need to have a Jewish theme. Performers can sing on any topic in Hebrew, Yiddish or Ladino; songs in English must have a Jewish theme.

 While we cannot offer any financial assistance in getting to Melbourne, we will endeavour to organise billeting for anyone coming to perform at the festival.

 With enough pre-planning, it could be the basis of a major excursion to Melbourne, including educational tours of the Jewish Museum and Australia, the Jewish Holocaust Museum, schools and synagogues and, of course, other non-Jewish oriented activity.

 Please feel free to contact me at msfran@netlink.com.au I will be out of the country from June 16 to July 11 but will endeavour to reply to everyone by the end of July.

Comment: Greetings from Montreal,Canada. I am originally from Brussels, Belgium having immigrated to Canada in 1947 with a younger brother.A sister now deceased remained in Belgium.No one else in our family survived the holocaust.So we thought until quite recently when a document came into our posession in which reference is made to a female person living in Australia who may well be my first cousin. Salient facts we know about her include: -Present name Mrs. R.Fields;maiden name ROZENES -Birthplace Brussels,Belgium,1940/1945 -Father's name Abraham-Hersz ROZENES(brother to my mother Chaja ROZENES)and mother's name Chaya-Rywka Weisserbs. Both born in Poland and deported to Auschwitz in June 1943. Scant as these facts are,I am appealing to you for help,assistance or guidance in our search for this person.Your response,be it just for now to acknowledge receipt of this e-mail,is anxiously awaited. Anything more would be an unexpected bonus.
