----- Original Message ----- From: Renee Whal - renew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: NBA Gmulim Hi, Lately several people have written to this list regarding the gmulim that they have not received for the online NBA courses that they took through the Haifa or TA Pisga. First of all, I would like to state for the record that 80% of the people who have taken the more than 12 courses DID receive gmulim. I believe that I have replied personally and at length to anyone who wrote to me directly about not receiving a gmul, but since the matter is now being debated on this forum, I would like to clarify some points for our readers and make some helpful suggestions. Everyone who completed the course requirements IS ENTITLED to their gmul. The body responsible for making sure you get it is the Pisga which received your registration fee. Therefore, although TAMID has supplied them with all the information they need (attendance records, grades, etc) and has been constantly pushing to resolve the issue, it is the Pisga's job to make sure you get your gmul. So, here are the phone and fax numbers for the Psagot that sponsored these courses. I suggest you send faxes once or twice a week until you get an official, satisfactory, response. When you contact them, be sure to specify: Your full name (in Hebrew & English), ID#, the date and location of the Pisga (Haifa or TA - the Afula course was run thru the Haifa Pisga but only met in Afula), the name of your instructor, and how you can be contacted. If you send me this information as well, I will compile a list and promise you that it will go as high up in the Ministry as possible until it is resolved.
