Answering the specific questions which you propound, the information is as follows: 1. The full name and address of the bank is: Bank Leumi le Israel, Haifa, Israel. 2. The exact name of our account is: Shoghi Rabbani. The beloved Guardian values very deeply the admirable manner in which the friends in Australia and New Zealand are carrying on their teaching work.
