Detroiters Rally to Help Israel; THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Asked to Pay Campaign Pledges UAHC Board Backs Dr. Eisendrath

President," according to Eitan Raz
One of the Israeli student group.
"We have urged them to express
their solidarity with Israel and call
upon the United States both to hon-
or her commitment to Israei's de-
fense and to support free naviga-
tion in the Gulf of Aqaba."
Hyman Safran, president of
the Jewish Welfare Federation,
said that a check for $250,000
has been sent this week to the
United Jewish Appeal to help
meet the cash crisis.
Curtailment of Israel govern-
ment funds for its welfare services
during the present crisis is creat-
ing demands on Detroiters to sup-
ply immediate funds.
A cablegram sent to Max M.
Fisher of Detroit, national general
chairman of the United Jewish Ap-
peal, by Rabbi Herbert A.. Fried-
man, executive vice-chairman of
the agency, who is now in Israel,
said that the "inevitable economic
dislocation causes much hardship
to many thousands of new immi-
grants in the country."
Friedman pointed out in his
cablegram that the Israel govern-
ment had informed the Jew is h
Agency that it could not continue
its grants to agency programs of
immigrant housing, farm settle-
ments, relief and welfare services
for recent immigrants to the
country. This means the agency
must increase its income from pri-
vate sources to continue its life-
saving assistance to the needy.
Fisher and Safran have sent a
a special letter to contributors to
the Allied Jewish Campaign,
asking for accelerated payments
on pledges made during the
drive which ended May 10.
The letter pointed out that in
many instances the breadwinner
in the family had been called for
military duty and that the wife
and children were left with little
means of support.
Friedman said that "words can-
not possibly convey the full pic-
ture and certainly cannot possibly
describe emotions involved. This is
a moment for everyone to exert
himself to the utmost. I am sure
Our good people and communities
will understand and rally quickly."
Irwin I. Cohn, chairman of the
cash mobilization conunittee of the
campaign, called an emergency
meeting Monday to set in motion
plans for meeting the cash crisis
with a separate emergency cam-
paign.
Funds received at the Jewish
Welfare Federation, 163 Madi-
son, whether they are payments
on pledges made during the
Allied Jewish Campaign or new
contributions, will be dispatched
immediately to meet the emer-
gency, William Avrunin, execu-
tive director of the Federation,
said.
The Council of Orthodox Rabbis
of Detroit proclaimed a fast day
Monday in accord with a directive
from the Agudath Harabomm,
Union of Orthodox Rabbis of
United States and Canada.
Member rabbis received tele-
grams late Friday afternoon, and
soon after were announcing the
fast day from the bima. Similar
proclamations were issued by other
rabbinic bodies, such as the Rab-
binical Council of America and
Igud Harabonim of America, as
well as Conservative and Reform
bodies. Special prayers for o peace
were recited in sy na ggues
throughout the city.
The council suggested the fol-
lowing special Psalms to be
recited daily for the duration of

the crisis: 13, 17, 20, 22, 28, 31,
69, 80, 83, 130 and 142.
The Zionist Organization of De-
troit, also acting in accord with
a national directive, asked its
members to send contributions to
the ZOD office, 18501 W. Ten
Mile, for an emergency informa-
tion fund. The Zionist Organiza-
tion of America's national execu-
tive committee has set a goal of
S500,000 for an expanded public
affairs program to counteract anti-
Israeli propaganda.
State of Israel Bonds, in an-
nouncing its own plans to meet the
emergency, said this week that the
previously scheduled June 12 din-
ner honoring The Jewish News
and its editor Philip Slomovitz will
be held in Cobo Hall instead of the
Sheraton-Cadillac Hotel to allow as
many persons as possible to attend.
It was also announced that the
price of the dinner has been low-
ered to. accommodate a wider seg-
ment of the community.

`Tefilin; 'Grace'
Newest Jewish
Tract Booklets

Burning Bush Press (218 E. 70th,
NY 21) has issued two new pam-
phlets in the Jewish Tract Series.
Continuing the practice of pub-
lishing brochures that present the
Conservative Jewish interpreta-
tions of Jewish practices, the two
newest booklets deal with "Tefilin"
and "The Grace."
The series is a joint publication
project of the National Academy
for Adult Jewish Studies and the
Rabbinical Assembly.
In "Tefilin," the author, Rabbi
Robert Alan Harumer of Akron,
O., explains the origin of the phy
lacteries, their contents, their sym-
bols of learning. The author points
out that Tefilin are an expression
of God's kingship and God's love.
The Hebrew 'text is quoted and
translated and an interesting epi-
logue incorporates a Saul Teher-
nichovsky poem on Tefilin.
The pamphlet "The Grace" was
authored by Dr. Evelyn Garfiel,
a member of the faculty of the
Women's Institute of the Jewish
Theological Seminary. Explaining
the traditional grace after meals,
the author commences with a com-
ment on "the miracle of bread" in
introducing the "Hamotzi." She
deals interestingly with the idea
and origin of the grace and ex-
plains the legal short form of grace
after meals and the text.

Brazilian Court Told
It Can Extradite Stangl

BRASILIA (JTA) — The de-
mands of Austria and West Ger-
many for the extradition of Franz
Stangl, wartime commandant of
the Treblinka and Sobidor death
camps in Poland, are valid under
Brazilian law, Attorney General
Haroldo Valdao reported to the
Brazilian Supreme Court here.
Stangl, who was arrested in Sao
Paulo in February, has been under
maximum security detention since
awaiting a Supreme Court ruling
on the extradition requests.
The court must now set a date
for a hearing and give its ruling,
expected next week. Stangl has
been accused of responsibility in
the killing of 700,000 Jews in the
two camps.

NEW YORK (JTA)—The board
of trustees of the Union of Ameri-
can Hebrew Congregations has
"acknowledged with regret" the
resignation of Cong. Emanu-E1 of
the City of New York from the

gregational body of Reform Juda-

Emanu-El will find its way back
into the family of the union."
The other resolution gave a
vote of confidence to the union's
leadership and its president,
Rabbi Maurice N. Eisendrath to
speak out as an individual on

democracy, prophetic Judaism,
and his own conscience, and to
speak for the UAHC in accord.
ance with resolutions adopted by
the UAHC General Assemblies."
At its April 25 meeting, the
trustees of Cong. Emanu-El adopt-
ed a resolution withdrawing their
membership from the UAHC.
In a statement released to the
press on May 5, Emanu-El's presi-

URGENT

The State of Israel, the small nation that has provided
a home and hope for tortured and homeless Jews is in
grave danger. You can do something about it. Among
other things, I urge everyone to buy an Israel bond. An
extra one . . in a substantial amount. The need is

urgent.
