In a heroic six-day effort in June 1967 Israel defended her
right to exist.
In the same month, American Jews—and world Jewry—
changed its estimates of what it could do to support human
needs in Israel. With compassion and with pride free Jews
poured millions of dollars into Israel to make sure that the people
did not suffer unduly.
It was more than we had ever done before.
The peace is not yet won. What we did in June was charged
with emotion. What we must do now in the light of logic is
harder, bigger, and even more necessary.
Israel must replenish its military might at tremendous cost.
She faces an enemy being swiftly re-armed beyond even its
strength of last June.
We have pledged ourselves to Israel's other set of problems —
the crucial human needs of large sectors of her immigrant •
population.
In Detroit we must see to our own communal needs for we
must remain strong at home so we may share our strength with
others. Our beneficiary agencies here and the national
organizations which the Allied Jewish Campaign supports must
continue their programs at their high levels of service.
So the Allied Jewish Campaign and the Israel Emergency
Fund are being conducted at the same time.
March 20 through May 8, 1968.
The faces in the story look to you.

A tractor and a gun must go together as this young farmer
works. There is no let-up in guard duty on the borders of Israel.
There must be no let-up in our contributions to the
Israel Emergency Fund.

Two wistful refugees from North Africa are
housed temporarily in the Rothschild Hospice, a

second shelter in Paris, France which was
opened when the Day and Night Shelter for
homeless Jews became overcrowded. You help
care for them until homes can be
found for the two lads.
