Communal Affairs
The Women's Divisions of the Jewish Federations and Welfare
Funds and of the United Jewish Appeal have raised $220,000,000
since 1946, it is reported by the Council of Jewish Federations
and Welfare Funds, which emphasizes that Women's giving is
"plus" giving to what the men contribute . • . Women now
represent 42 per cent of all contributors and give approximately
12 per cent of all funds raised by Jewish community campaigns.
The Jewish women of New York occupy first place in raising
"plus" money . . . In the Fall campaign of 1962-63 they raised
$2,674,000 for the Federation and more than $3,000,000 for the
New York United Jewish Appeal ... Chicago women came second
with $532,000 in contributions to the Combined Jewish Appeal
and $360,000 to the local Jewish Federation . . . Los Angeles
women occupy third place by having raised among themselves
$650,000 in 1963 for the local Jewish Welfare Fund . . . Detroit
women followed in 1963 with $629,112 in contributions to the
local Jewish Welfare Federation . . . Next were the Cleveland
women with $570,391; Milwaukee women with $173.000 for the
local Jewish Welfare Fund; Kansas City women with $160,000
for the local Federation, and the women's division of Buffalo
and Minneapolis which raised $150,000 each.

Three key issues will be de-
bated at the national biennial
convention of the American
Jewish Congress April 14-19 in
Miami Beach, it was announced
this week by Irving Kane of
Cleveland, convention chairman.
They are the new look in
Christian-Jewish relation s;
changing role of the Jewish
community in the racial crisis;
and the quest for Jewish iden-
tity.
Some of the country's out-
standing authorities in each of
the three fields will take part.
During the five-day meeting,
delegates will plan the organ-
ization's program during the
next two-year period in Jewish
`cultural affairs, and a slate of
officers will also be elected.

Abram's interest in Jewish life goes back to his boyhood in the
small town of Fitzgerald, Ga., where he was born. . . This town,
with a population of 6,000, had few Jews; today it has 12 Jewish
families.. Cut off from the main stream of Jewish life, living in
a completely Protestant atmosphere of the Evangelical type, he
found interest to study Hebrew, and planned to attend Hebrew
Union College. . . . His mind was changed later and, instead of
studying for the rabbinate, he studied law at the University of
