following: |

Name, address, and

|
|
|
Name, address, and
telephone number of a Jewish friend
within your native
country or elsewhere |

Assistance from a
Hebrew-speaking friend, if possible,

aliyah (you may all use the

Write
a personal letter (several paragraphs)
explaining why

helpful. Make two copies of each letter

include both with your other
documents. |
