TARGET: Jewish Women's Organization

[Suby Wallace <swallace@NIC.CRSC.K12.AR.US>]

Some students and I are making a webpage for the author, Bette Greene.  When
she came to visit recently, I asked her if she could bring some kind of
Jewish family heirloom that we might be able to photograph and explain where
it came from.

She brought the most incredible braclet that her grandmother had given her.
Bette said she remembered her grandmother saying she sent money to Israel to
help buy land.  Each charm has one of the tribes of Israel on it.  There is
a charm with a menorah on it, with an inscription on the front that says
Mizrachi Women's Organization of America

On the back it says         Mother-In-Israel '60.

We have a very small Jewish congregation in Jonesboro, and I showed it to
one of the few members who can read Hebrew.  He couldn't tell me anything
about the women's organization, and I wondered if there was anyone out there
who could shed some light on this for us?

Thanks for helping us!
