New Jersey Jewish Standard has a picture of the letter with signature:

Rep. Steve Rothman (D-9), the northeast coordinator for Obama's presidential campaign, plans to hold a community forum at Temple Sholom in River Edge next week to answer questions about Obama, particularly on the senator's views of Israel, which have been the subject of rumors and e-mails calling Obama a Muslim, among other claims. (See related story.)

"There has been a despicable campaign of lies about Sen. Obama that have been circulating across the Internet for months on a variety of subjects, including his record on the State of Israel," Rothman told The Jewish Standard Tuesday.

Temple Sholom is not endorsing Obama or any candidate in the Feb. 5 primaries, but it wants to give people an honest look at the candidate, said the Reform congregation's Rabbi Neal Borovitz. The synagogue would open its doors to advocates for other candidates as well, he said.

"It's very important that people have a chance to hear the truth and hear the facts about every one of the candidates," he said. "The reality is that with Sen. Obama, as well as Sen. Clinton and Sen. Edwards, their positions and records of support for Israel and Israel security are unquestionable."
