All,
This is to update you on the Wielkie Oczy cemetery project.
David Majus informs us that on March 13, 100 local school children
went to the Jewish cemetery to clean it up in preparation for the erection of
the perimeter fence. Attached to this message are some photographs taken in
February of this year of the cemetery and two headstones. In appreciation
of this, we have decided to collect additional contributions and to purchase a
gift or make a donation to the local school.
We are indebted to Rabbi Murray Stadtmauer of the Jewish Center of Bayside
Hills, NY (whose father Simchah Asher Stadtmauer grew up in Wielkie Oczy) for
his contribution and assistance in this endeavor.
U.S. residents should make checks payable to the Jewish Center of
Bayside Hills (see further information below). We
believe that such charitable contributions to the Jewish Center of Bayside Hills
are a tax-deductible charitable contribution, but you should check with your tax
professional to confirm this.
The Jewish Center of Bayside Hills will fund the Wielkie Oczy
cemetery project with your donations.
A proportional share is $360.00. If you would like to contribute some other amount,
please feel free to do so.

Rabbi Statdmauer has offered to send a copy of his
book to anyone on the Wielkie Oczy mailing list who makes a contribution of
US$50 or more to the Wielkie Oczy project. The Life of Simchah Asher
Stadtmauer in Europe and America (1899-1997) is a hardcover memoir of
over 160 pages with references to people and events in the Wielkie Oczy
of the late 19th and early 20th century.

If you are a non-U.S. resident,
you may send your donation directly to David Majus in Israel or to his
brother in the United States. Please contact me directly at stephen.landau@att.net for
instructions.
Please try to
ensure that your contributions are received by March 30, as David will be
traveling to Wielkie Oczy in April and we want to be sure that funding is
complete by the time he departs for Poland.
Thank you,
