Hyman Safran, president, and Wil-
liam Avrunin, executive director,
of the Jewish Welfare Federation,
jointly stated this week:
Challenge was the keyword for
our Jewish community during the
past year.
First the community and the
Jewish Welfare Federation were
faced with the challenge of meeting
increased financial needs of our
agencies. The operating costs of
local services was rising and there
was a need for expanded programs
for formal and informal Jewish
education, for vocational training,
for summer camp and recreational I
services.
Overseas, the gap between in-

widening. Income of overseas
agencies was down because of the
cut-off in reparations funds. The
needs were increasing daily with
the steady inflow of newcomers to;
Israel. The gap had to be filled.
We accepted the challenge, and
the 1967 Allied Jewish Campaign
produced a near-record amount
from an aware and responsive
community.
Then late in the spring of this
year, it became apparent that
Israel was facing a crisis of con-
flict with Arab nations. Once
again our community was chal-
lenged to meet a larger part of
the financing of welfare services
in Israel.

meditae cash. And, with the
heroic action of Israel, providing
the inspiration, the Israel Emer-
gency Fund in Detroit raised
more money than anyone dream-

crisis came, we are proud that we
were not found wanting.
As we look forward into 5728 we
know that to meet our obligations
to our fellow Jews will require a
great deal of devotion, energy and
generosity. The spontaneous en-
thusiasm created by Israel's victory
must be equaled by our dedication
in the coming year. We must pro-
duce results which will take care
of our needs at home, as well as

emerge. We must recognize that
there is no cease fire on human

It is with assurance that we will
be equal to the task that wish each
other a Happy New Year.
