Chevre, since 3 weeks I'm a member of this fantastic system that allows me to
communicate with persons and institutions allover the world, and this only be-
cause I was visiting an  american friend living here in Hamburg who wanted to
help me : I was looking for hebrew downloadable softfonts for

                      24-pin printer (NEC-P6)
                      HP-Laserjet and 
                      Deskjet

since I have a very good hebrew word processor (QTEXT) but I can't print with
it in hebrew (can somebody help me?). Anyway, he called the mailbox from where
he polls (at that time I even didn't know what polling and USENET meant!) and
he looked in a file called soc.culture.jewish : I felt electrified reading the
different jewish subjects.... and this from Germany!  My friend couldn't help
me with the hebrew fonts, but 2 weeks later I was a member of a local net that
links with USENET. I'm  still trying  to learn how  to work  with this system 
(I have only DOS so I use WAFFLE, a fascinating shareware program) and I hope
one day I'll succeed. In the mean time I learn a lot of yiddishkeit through
this board but what I don't like is sometimes the harsh vocabulary used in dis-
cussions. Can't these people communicate in a civilised way, without "shouting"
and cursing at their opponents?  It  astonishes me that some  religious people
and and also some not religious  (but I suppose that both groups are educated)
use a vocabulary that only the uncivilized and uneducated mob allover the world
uses. I was teached by my parents that we are a special people, not that we are
better than others,  but that our history and our cultural background tought us
to try to coexist with others without needing to assimilate. Of course I'm not 
the kind of person that offers the other cheek: I return a blow if I get one
and if I feel it necessary to defend myself, I hit first. But here? . This is
a place to DISCUSS , not a fighting arena. A couple of years ago I read in a
panphlet a beautiful phrase:

      " Lieber einen toleranten Gegner als zehn intolerante Freunde "

 that means

   " It is better to have one tolerant opponent than ten intolerant friends " 

I know that my best friend, living in Wellington, will smile when he reads this
(hi, Amigo, viele gruesse und melde dich).
Now going to the point. Since many years I hear constantly KOL ISRAEL in spa-
nish, ladino and english. One day I decided to do a frequency and time-table
schedule for our local community, so that maybe other persons might get in-
terested in hearing KOL ISRAEL. I do it twice a year and our jewish community
sends it to our members. I have received many calls of people that are very 
thankful for it and I think it could be also interesting for some of the SCJ 
readers.  I have done 2 schedules : one in german with the local time (CET)
and one in english for the rest of the world with GMT/UTC. I could do it also
in spanish if there were some people interested to give it to their local com-
munities in south america. OK? By the way, are there some chileans and germans
reading SCJ? It would be interesting to have somebody there (in Chile or some-
where else) and in Germany with whom sometimes exchange opinions (by the way,
I suppose you already got that I'm  a chilean living in Germany)
                       Shalom  to all of you
                                                 Manfredo
