B’nai B’rith, expressing “profound sympathy” for the victims of the Peruvian earthquakes, has sent a $1,000 relief check to the government there. A spokesman said the money was for general relief aid, not specifically for Jewish victims. B’nai B’rith earlier sent $500 to aid those made homeless by the Rumanian floods.
