As we approach the New Year 5727, we in-
' yoke an ancient call to action from Talmud Bera-
kot:
"The prayer for knowledge is first among the
B enedictions."
May this prayer be fulfilled in the year to
come. May we see the fulfillment of hope that the
ancient heritage, the spiritual value of our people,
will be thepredominant guide for Jewish living.
May it lead us to joy and contentment, amidst
a world at peace.

JDC Distributed 135,000,000 Lbs.
of U.S. Food for Peace in 10 Years

(

Of the 175,000,000 pounds of
food supplies distributed overseas
by the Joint Distribution Commit-
tee during the ten-year period
from 1956 through 1965, 135,000,-
000 pounds represented United
States-donated food-for-peace sup-
plies purchased by JDC, Jordan
said.
These figures do not reflect ad-
ditional purchases made locally
either by the JDC or by organiza-
tions which receive financial sup-
port from the JDC, Jordan said.
The JDC receives funds for its
feeding and other welfare pro-
grams in some 30 countries over-
seas mainly from the campaigns of
the United Jewish Appeal, and in
Detroit from the Allied Jewish
Campaign.
The U.S. food-for-peace sup-
plies were valued by the govern.
ment at approximately $9,000,-
000. However, Jordan pointed
out that the figure at the con-
er or retail levels would be
ch higher. JDC's purchases
ing the ten-year period
amounted to approximately
$4,000,000 — also at the bulk or
wholesale level, he said.

The greatest amount of the U.S.-
donated food, over 58,000,000
pounds, with a value of almost
$3,500,000, went to Israel. Morocco
received 44,500,000 pounds, valued
at close to $1,000,000. Tunisia re-
ceived over 13,500,000 pounds
valued at $850,000. (JDC also re-
ceived close to 31,000,000 pounds
of food for distribution to the gen-
eral population in Tunisia from
1961 through 1965.) Other coun-
tries which received substantial
amounts were Italy, almost 9,000,-
000 pounds; Iran, 5,000,000 pounds;
France, 3,250,000 pounds; and
Yugoslavia, 1,000,000 pounds.
Lesser amounts were shipped to
Austria, Belgium, Germany and
Greece.
The bulk of U.S. food consisted
of flour and milk. Other commod-
ities sent during the ten-year peri-
od included cornmeal, bulgur,
rolled wheat, fats and oil, rice, but-
ter and cheese. Rice, butter and
cheese, which were removed from
the list of available foods because
they were in short supply, were
sent mainly between 1956 and
1961, Jordan said.

Happy
New Year!

Mayor Cavanagh to Receive Copy
of Declaration of Soviet Jewry

A delegation representing De-
troit's Jewish community will meet
with Mayor Jerome P. Cavanagh at
10 a.m. Tuesday to present - him
with a plaque inscribed with a
"Declaration of Rights of Soviet
Jewry. ,,
Members of the delegation in-
Dr. Samuel Krohn, presi-
of the Jewish Community
Amcil; Rabbi Leizer Levin, presi-
ant, Council of Orthodox Rabbis;
Leon Frain, Temple Israel;
Rabbi Benjamin H. Gorrelick,
Cong. Beth Aaron; Edwin Shifrin,
chairman of Council's culture com-
mission; Irving Pokempner, chair-
man of Council's new committee on
Soviet anti-Semitism; Lawrence
Gubow and Benjamin Laikin, co-
chairmen of the new committee.
The Declaration, adopted earlier

by the 25 national Jewish organiza-
tions which comprise the American
Jewish Conference on Soviet
Jewry, calls upon Soviet authorities
to restore to its Jewish citizens the
same rights granted to other na-
tionality groups within the USSR.
These include access to cultural
and religious materials, the right
to develop Jewish communal life,
increased efforts to eradicate anti-
Semitism in the Soviet Union and
permission for Soviet Jewish fam-
ilies, separated during World War
II, to be reunited with their rela-
tives abroad.

Oh! give me liberty,
For were ev'n Paradise
my prison,
Still I should long to leap
the crystal walls.
—Dryden.
