Question
Is it Halachically correct for a national "Jewish" organization to compile a list of the names, addresses and other particulars of all Jewish people in a particular city?
From a practical point of view the list may land up in the "wrong hands" and may well constitute a danger to the Jews of that city.
Answer
This is a policy decision. If it constitutes a danger it should be avoided.
