44--THE JEWISH NEWS
Dr. Schwartz Outlines Four-Fold
Task for U.S. Jewry in Next Year

For New American
t h e accomplish-
ments of the Joint Distribution
Committee, one of three major
agencies of the United Jewish
Appeal, through the war years,
and, particularly, during the
past year, Dr. Joseph J.
Schwartz, chairman of the Eu-
ropean Executive Council of the
Joint Distribution Committee,
reports that American Jews,
through their support of UJA,
have accomplished a "major
miracle."
"They have taken a beaten,
crushed people and brought it
back to life, in a very literal
sense," Dr. Schwartz declares.
"To the Jews of Europe and Is-
rael, the United Jewish Appeal
has become both the promise
and the fulfillment of a new,
happier life."
To. insure that this miracle
shall not be blurred by future
mismanagement of the work of
resuscitating Europe's Jews, Dr.
Schwartz outlines the following
four-fold program for the year
ahead:
1. To help another 100,000 or
more Jewish men, women and
children make the journey to
Israel or other lands of their
choice.
2. To create a strong Jewish
community life in Europe, one
that will be able to take over
itself , the responsibilities which
JDC has helped them bear since
liberation.
3. To care for the "hard core"
group of relief cases who can-
not yet turn to anyone but JDC
for the help they need to keep
alive.
4. To make great and further
progress in meeting the wretch-
ed plight of 900,000 poverty-
stricken Jewish men, women

Newman, whose family was re-
settled in this country recent-
ly by United Service for New
Americans. Doris was born in
the Shanghai ghetto, where
thousands of European Jews
had fled.
In Safed, the Jews used to say
the Tashlikh Prayer on Rosh
Hashanah from the roofs of
their houses where they could
see the Lake Kinereth.

"The Book of Kashrut," print-
ed in England, is being distri-
butdd in this country by Bloch
Publishing Co., New York.
It is one of the most compre-
hensive volumes of its kind ever
published. It contains a series of
articles by hi g h l y informed
scholars, dealing with the vari-
ous aspects of Jewish dietaiy
laws.
Rabbis and laymen have col-
laborated in an analysis of the-
subjects in this moderately-
piiced book.
Dr. Cecil Roth is the author
of an article on "The Historical
Background of the Die tar y
Laws."
An unusually valuable portion
of the book is a section of
sources—in Hebrew and English
—compiled by Rabbi Wolf Gott-
lieb. Biblic al and Talmudic
sources and modern commenta-
tors are quoted in this highly
informative bi-lingual chapter.
Principles and practices, the
moral basis, historic background
and hygienic elements of kash-
rut are , reviewed.
Special emphasis is placed on
an understanding of the kash-
rut problems in the home and
by the youth.
"The Book of Kashrut" is an
unusually interesting and most
informative volume which will
be found valuable in all Jewish
homes.
and children living in the fear-
ridden, squalid ghettoes of
North Africa and the Moslem
world.
JDC's job this year—the thir-
ty-fifth year since its founding
as an "emergency" agency dur-
ing World War I--will not be as
huge and encompassing as last,
Dr. Schwartz indicated. "But it
will be a telling one, a year in
which we can make sure that
all the victories we have won
thus far shall not be lost. It
will be an intensive attack on
the problems still to be solved.
It will require all the ingenuity
and experience JDC has gained
over the years. And it will re-
quire the unstinting support of
the Jews of America, whose con-
tributions through the United
Jewish Appeal make this work
possible," he emphasized.
Jews Still in Germany
Average 50-60 Years
MUNICH, (JTA) — The aver-
age age of Jews living in West-
ern Germany is between 50 and
60, the Central Committee for
Liberated Jews in Germany re-
ported. Only 6,000 German Jews
lived in Germany in 1945, of a
pre-war total of 600,000. Ap-
proximately 250,000 Jews from
this country emigrated before
the outbreak of war.
The condition of Jews living
in the Soviet zone of Germany
is "deplorable," the Committee
said. Western Germany has be-
come an asylum for Jews ex-
pelled from Eastern Europe, the
group added.
New York and Pennsylvania
have a greater number of Repre-
sentatives in the House -of Rep
resentatives than other states.
