to make plans to assist the Allied
Jewish campaign.
Rabbi Joshua S. Sperka; chair-

Committee of the Allied Jewish
Campaign, said:
"Rabbis, more than any other
people in the community, are
keenly aware of the tremendous
need to establish the State of Is-
rael on a firm foundation and to
help close the DP camps this
year. The need for funds is des-
perate but this only increases the
great opportunity ahead of us.
I am sure that the synagogues
will go on record as participating
actively in this campaign."
William Avunin, associate di-
rector Of Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion, will address the meeting
Sunday.
Rabbi Sperka stated that the
synagogues this year will set as
their objective to activise every
