The Jewish National Fund Council
of Detroit Extends Heartiest New
Year Greetings to Detroit Jewry
We take this means of thanking all contributors to the Palestine
land redemption fund for their generosity during 5707 and we
look forward to their continued cooperation during 5708.
The New Year Holds Out the Promise
of Realization of the 2,000-Year-Old
Dream for the Establishment of a Jewish
State in Eretz Isreal
In preparation for a completely redeemed Eretz Israel, all of us
are challenged to hold high the banner of the builders of the
Jewish Homeland, to acquire as much land as speedily as possible
and to build the waste places of Zion.
Jewry's fighters for justice are battling against great odds, and
we, the Jews of America, representing the freest and the strong-
est Jewish community in the world, must dedicate the year 5708
to the unbreakable bond between the People and the Land of
Israel.
During the coming year, the Jewish National Fund Council calls upon every Jew to
give the fullest cooperation to the land - redemption fund by supporting the following
traditional projects of the JNF:
The Blue and White Boxes
The Golden Book
The Planting of Trees
Redemption of Dunams of Land
Sefer Ha Yeled—Children's
Golden Book
Sefer Bar Mitzvah
During Haskarath Neshomoth, remember the beloved departed
by contributing liberally to the Jewish National Fund. This has
become a traditional practice in Jewry to memorialize our dear
ones. You may make your contributions to the Jewish National
Fund office, 11608 Dexter, TO. 8-7384, or by dropping extra
coins in your JNF Blue and White Box.
Respond liberal-
ly to the annual
