Scores of Jewish volunteers are heading to help clean up homes and provide services in areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Students on a Chabad Lubavitch-organized trip are in New Orleans, cleaning homes, synagogues and schools. A dozen Jewish communities also are donating more than 500 menorahs and dreidels to area families, and the American Jewish Committee plans to donate $575,000 this week from its Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund to four institutions.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
