Nahum Yanovsky, an immigrant from the FSU and a Math and Judo teacher, who was injured by terrorists in the west bank few weeks ago, is receiving Clevelanders' get-well wishes from Sagi Melamed, in his Beit Shean apartment. With Nahum is his young daughter Alisa. Nahum is currently recovering from his leg injury.

Every week we send out a briefing about events in the Middle East. Last week we asked people to send along their best wishes for a speedy recovery for Beit Shean resident Nahum Yanovsky, injured in a recent terrorist attack. Here are the responses we have received. Please pass them along to Nahum and his family. In addition, the entire Federation staff joins me in wishing Nahum well.

Thanks!
