Dear Ms. Rapp,
That is a good question. I just went to RAMBI and used the advanced
search and searched for Moment as a source, only getting ninety-two
records and got even fewer for Hadassah. So I suppose they index these
selectively. So I think that if one wants cover-to-cover coverage of
more popular English language periodicals, maybe the Index to Jewish
Periodicals is better.
