▪ . - 44--THE JEWISH NEWS Dr. Schwartz Outlines Four-Fold Task for U.S. Jewry in Next Year Friday, September 23, 1949 School Days Begin 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 Surveying Practicing her A, B, C's in eager anticipation of begin- ning school is 6-year old Doris 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. . A Happy New Year to all My Customers & Friends Chas. H.

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. .New Year Greetings NEW YORK BAGEL BAKING CO.
