An American Jewish group is raising money for victims of last Friday’s devastating earthquake in Iran. The American Jewish World Service said it hopes to raise money for humanitarian aid in response to the 6.3-magnitude quake, which devastated the historic city of Bam in southeastern Iran, killing at least 20,000 people and leaving thousands homeless. More details can be obtained by calling 1-800-889-7146 or visiting the group’s Web site at www.ajws.org.
