Subject: Fwd: Rabbi Position

Dear Rabbi Fine: Thank you for your wonderful response. You folks are
looking better all the time. With regard to Julie teaching in the
proposed school, might it be possible for her to do that for perhaps
two hours and then spend the rest of the day in her child counseling
capacity? It may not be critical as long as you were available to do
the teaching of the kids. We would need one of you plus a secular
teacher to start the program off.  Rabbi Segal is G'd willing planning
on being in Yerushalayim this coming Sun, Mon and Tues, that is March
8,9,and 10 at the King Solomen Hotel. He asked that you call him there
to arrange for a time for the two of you to meet. I will know for sure
that he is going tomorrow as currently he tells me that he is on
standby. I will e-mail you tomorrow on the status.When you meet with
him try to give him as many right wing responses as you comfortably
can.It would be nice to get their funding but it is not necessarily
critical to the overall funding package. We have one other source
available to us as well, and of course the shul has within itself the
ability to raise most of your salary needs.  With regard to the health
insurance, the cost is between $215 and $232 for a married couple with
no children per month. This covers both people. It is a basic HMO type
of plan with a minimal out of pocket expense per office visit.  I am
not sure if it covers Chiropractic but tell Julie it would be my
pleasure to take care of her gratis if there is no coverage. As the
agreed upon salary rises from $45K it becomes harder for the shul to
also cover health benifits but again this would depend on the success
of the grant sources coming thru.  Regarding the apartment, the shul
currently is renting same at a cost of $1,000 per month. The apartment
would be available if you folks like it but the shul would *not* cover
the expense. A three bedroom and one bath house in the area rents for
about $1550-1600, and rentals are fairly tight at this time so it's
nice to have the apartment on standby. OK, so we will get cracking on
the reference calls probably this Sun .I will e-mail you again
tomorrow re R Segal.  Regards Jacob
