Open Letter to Our Members
The continuing threat to Israel makes it imperative that every effort of American Jewry be
aimed in one direction—the financial support of Israel's social welfare program.
With all Israel's resources turned toward the preservation of her future in the face of an
unyielding enemy, we must make sure that none of her people—the children, the old, the ill, the
needy—suffer.
We have pledged the full-hearted cooperation of our organizations to that end and urge
each of our members to make an extraordinary contribution in both money and service to the
