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 we. ma IMMO. s mi 1 a 1 For Weddings, Cocktail Parties, Bar Mitzvahs 1 1 1 I 1 • • 1 1 SPECIAL GROUPS!
