Hyman Safran Assesses Major Cultural, Social Changes in CJFWF Address
ST. LOUIS—The need to re-
late communal services more
closely to • changing cultural,
economic and human needs —
both at home and overseas—was
underscored here by two leaders
at the opening of the 33rd gen-
eral assembly of the Council of
Jewish Federations and Welfare
Funds.
Focusing on the assembly
theme—the relevance of federa-
tions to the prime issues of our
time—Hyman Saran of Detroit
and Irving Kane of Cleveland
called upon more than 1,000 dele-
gat es to re-examine the quality,
impact and future direction of
these services in terms of the
fundamental purposes federa-
tions wish to serve.
Safran, president of the. Detroit .
Federation, delivered the key-
note address at the opening
general session. His presentation
dealt with ' socio-economic
changes_ that are affecting fed-
eration services and priorities • in
the United States and Canada.
Kane ,a past CJFWF president
and chairman of its Overseas
, spoke on
Services
overseas needs: and American
responsibilities.
Commenting • on the mass in-
flux that now comes to Israel
each- year. Kane said that immi-
gration continues to represent
the first priority and the largest
single budgetary item in Ameri-
can and Israeli aid.
I3ecause the future flow of im-
migrants is unpredictable, and
may increase or decrease sub-
stantially, Kane asserted that
Jewish communities ought to
prepare for various alternatives.
He r recommended that overseas
agencies together with federa-
tions "prepare for .not just a
year ahead, but for a decade
changes in
ahead—for basic
priorities and programs in Amer-
ican Jewish aid."
Kane reported for the recent
CJFWF overseas delegation and
noted that Israel desperatel,y
seeks to close a dangerous cul-
tural gap between children of
European origin and the disad-
vantaged yotuigsters from Asian
and African countries.
More than half of all children
n o w in Israel's elementary
schools come from these disad-
vantaged families, and seldom
continue their education since a
system of free higher education
does not exist in the country, he
pionted out.
Safran assessed major social
intellectual attainment and pre-
occupation have little to do with
emotional commitment, and ex-
pressed the view that the Jew-
ish community need not be con-
cerned about their identification
and commitment ---- if the com-
munity wil offer them the op-
portunity for development and
participation.
He further declared that there
is no established assurance that
more Jewish education today
will mean more and better iden-
tified Jews tomorrow. In this
context, he called for a fuller
eveluation of the content of this
educaiton, its results and achieve-
ments, and the impact is has on
its pupils in terms of their later

Noting that Jewish communal

ented and fact-conscious for
many years, he declared that
many significant findings- have
not been implemented by fed-
erations—or utilized to full ad-
