Additions to our ever-growing list of pain:

• Yeshiva University officially puts their loss at $110 million
• Jacob Ezra Merkin’s Ascot Partners – $1.8 billion (not a typo)
• Julian J. Levitt Foundation – $6 million
• Yad Sarah – $1.5 million
• The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles – $6.4 million
• Bank Hapoalim (Peilim portfolio management company) – $5 million

Three more organizations announcing they have no known liability:

• The Jewish Federation of Rhode Island
• Milwaukee Jewish Federation and their Community Foundation
• Helen Bader Foundation
