Thank you as always, Heidi.
If anyone is interested in the larger issue of cyber-antisemitism, there's
an NGO that is working on the issues. It's *Cyberwell*. Been in business
for a couple of years and is monitoring a variety of issues. They've been

Thank you, Heidi. It's a wonderful statement.
I'd go further, in fact. We're all ambassadors for Jewish life. Whether
it's history, music, or a dozen other aspects of Jewish life, we represent
what other Jews can learn and therefore can become.
You have been a shining example of that fact
Thank you, Rachel.
A wonderful choice. Among others, Lisa has been an important face of AJL
