21,000 Wandering Jews
I've done the math. There are 9,000 homeless Jews from Gaza and 12,000 more homeless Jews from New Orleans. It's been quite a couple of weeks! Then on top of the misery of our own people, there are countless others, mostly poor and black who are even worse off.
It's so hard to feel any sense of security today. The Israeli government doesn't take care of its own people, and neither does the US government. I'm an American and a Jew and I'm on my own for my own survival in the event of catastrophe. This is not to minimize the good works of so many people who give of themselves to help in whatever way they can. Just today while running a few errands I saw lemonade stands, kids selling books, and raffles being sold at Walmart all for the benefit of Katrina victims. Disaster often brings out the best of people, but seems to expose the callousness of government.
For those of you who want to help out by donating to the Red Cross, I would suggest doing it throught the Barry Manilow fan club. For every dollar you give, his foundation will match it, and he will match it. So $1 becomes $3. A good deal for all.

We need a Mayor in New York City who will be able to lead us in a time of crisis. Vote for Anthony Weiner!

What about all the homeless animals? I call on Congress to require all Americans without allergies to adopt a pet. Furthermore, anyone who adopts a pet would be receive a rebate from Rabbi Wohlberg's proposed Hurricane Tax. (Two times the rebate if you take a dog that drools)
