Dear colleagues,
I wrote to William Brustein again today expressing my distress that the 
image still is on the Chabad website. He has written a second time to 
the Rabbi, and he asked that I convey this message: Also, has anyone 
actually seen this as a poster around campus? I'm only aware of the 
postcards and the website. If you do see one, please take it down (he 
has asked that this be done) and please let me know where you saw it.

thanks
Marilyn
