JEWS NEED OUR HELP!

In Detroit we have been blessed by men
and women who had the foresight in past
years to establish institutions which would
serve the future generations:--and we are one
In the comfort of our homes with our
basic needs of food and clothing fulfilled, it
is often difficult to remember that there are
hundreds of thousands of Jews who are not
able to secure these things for themselves.
of the future generations. They set up or-
ganizations which would take care of the aged,
serve the sick, provide Jewish education, pro-
mote recreational and cultural programs, aid
the troubled, the immigrant, the handicapped.
Then they related all their services to one
central voluntary organization.
To these people we owe a debt of grati-
tude foi our present Jewish community-
organized, strong, living with dignity.
Because we have at-
tained security we are able
to help those who need our
help, whether it be here
in Detroit or in Israel or
in the many other countries
where Jews remain in op-
pression • and poverty.
We have a heritage
which we must fulfill. We
must not disappoint the gen-
erations who built before us. We must carry
our responsibility to the best of our ability,
first through our generous contributions to
the 1969 Allied Jewish Campaign-Israel Emer-
gency Fund, and then by serving as volunteers
on the boards and in the programs which
have brought us to a way of life which means
opportunity for fulfillment and happiness for
all.

JEWISH COMMUNITY. RESPECTS
TRADITION - RESPONDS TO CHANGE!
by
William Avrunin, Executive Vice-President
Jewish Welfare Federation
. These are the people
who live in lands of oppres-
sion. The aged and sick in
Poland, the poor and de-
nied in Roumania who look
to the regular distribution
of food bought with your
money to sustain life. These
are the emigrants from
Arab lands who have gone
to France, to Italy to escape
persecution and degradation.
There are those who arrive in Israel with
their wordly possessions in a cardboard box
who must be housed, fed and helped to get a
job and start a whole new way of life. There
are the children in many lands who cry for
an education, the deaf, the blind and the
otherwise deprived and helpless.
Our world changes rapidly. So do our
problems and our ways of solving these prob-
lems, be they personal or social.
Today we see the changes in our city, the
shifting of our Jewish population, the in-
creasing number of aged, and the new chal-
lenges presented by our youth. We struggle
to give our communal programs• meaning
which will meet the demands of our time. We
must continually build with creativity and
imagination on the solid basis of the institu-
tions which have endured the test of so many
years.
Change is not new but
continuous. Our Jewish
community would never
have been built if its pio-
neers had refused to rec-
ognize the changing needs
of society in their time.
We continue, as they
did, to stand for a way of
life which respects the dig-
nity of man, the importance
of the family, the kinship of the Jewish com-
munity, and of mankind. We strive to
strengthen and enrich Jewish life in America.
We extend our hand to the people of Israel
to help them keep their commitment to these
same humanitarian objectives at the very

Detroit we have those whom we must cherish
and a Jewish life to strengthen.
moment when their security is threatened.
This requires understanding and gener-
osity It is not a burden. It is an act of part-
nership which we assume with gratitude and
appreciation that we have both the opportun-
ity and the resources.
Millions of Jewish eyes turn to you for
help. Do not deny them!
YOUR ONE GIFT HELPS THEM ALL FOR A FULL YEAR!
