For the sake of Jerusalem I will not be still,
Till her victory emerge resplendent
And her triumph like a flaming torch.

Jewish Communities Unify
Action to Support Israel
Urgencies Resulting From War Bring Generous Responses to United
Jewish Appeal, Israel Bonds, Magen David Adorn for Blood Plasma
Israel's plight, resulting from her being forced
into a fourth war with the Arab nations by the
Yom Kippur infamy perpetrated by unifed Egyp-
tion-Syrian invasions of the Sinai and the Golan
Heights, has unified Jewish communities every-
where in support of the embattled Israelis.
Detroit Jewry responded promptly with contri-
butions to the United Jewish Appeal through the
Allied Jewish Campaign-Israel Emergency Fund,
large-scale Israel Bond purchases, payment of
pledges to UJA and redemption of obligations
to purchase Israel Bonds, as well as assistance to
other major Israeli needs.
Noteworthy was the concern for the wounded„
and support came forth promptly for Magen David
Adom, the Israel counterpart of the Red Cross. Dr.
John Mames reported many calls by interested De-
troiters who joined in providing funds for blood
plasma as well as ambulances for Israel to provide
for injured civilians as well as the country's armed
forces.

The Jewish community of Detroit, joining kinsmen
throughout the world in an expression of solidarity
with Israel, will hold a Peace Convocation, 7:30 p.m.
Sunday at Cong. Shaarey Zedek.
Christian leadership has been invited to gather
with the Jewish community, under the auspices of
the Jewish Community Council.
Among these on the program will be Yaakov
Keinan, Israel consul for press information in the
Midwest; Robert Kincheloe, executive director of the
Detroit Council of Churches; Lewis Grossman, co-
chairman of the Allied Jewish Campaign-Israel
Emergency Fund; Rabbis Irwin Groner, Israel Hal-
pern and Richard Hertz; and Cantors Louis Klein
and Harold Orbach. The Jewish War Veterans will
provide a color guard.
Hubert Sidlow, president of the Jewish Commu-
nity Council, will preside.
William Avrunin, executive vice-president of
the Jewish Welfare Federation, announced that
as of 5 p.m. Wednesday $1,800,000 was wired to
Israel.
Monday's meeting was convened hurriedly by
the Detroit leadership for the purpose of avowing
determined participation in the national cash mo-
bilization drive launched by the Council of Jewish
Federations and Welfare Funds and the United
Jewish Appeal.
The Allied Jewish Campaign-Israel Emergency
Fund leaders heard a New York-originating tele-
phone transmission by Israel's ambassador to the
U.S., Simha Dinitz; the UJA general chairman,
Paul Zuckerman; and the Jewish Agency presi-
dent, Max M. Fisher.
The spirited meeting ended with plans to con-
tact other contributors personally, as part of the
Detroit mobilization toward the $100,000,000 na-
tional emergency goal.

Israel, Buoyed by Faith, Strikes
Back With Confidence in Triumph
Buoyed by faith, impelled to strike at military positions inside enemy territories, Israel, although
suffering a setback in Sinai, has begun to recapture areas taken by the Arabs in the War of Last Judgment,
the Yom Kippur War of desecration.
Confronted by massive enemy forces, fighting a war that has spread to the United Nations, where
humiliations were heaped upon Israel, facing a situation not only of retaining the cease-fire lines estab-
lished in 1970 but the very existence of the state that is being threatened avowedly by Arab leaders, total
mobilization of Israel's forces is being utilized in a supreme task that has renewed the nation's battle for
its very life.
Strong support for Israel has come from George Meany, in behalf of the American labor movement.
The doves in Israel who hitherto opposed government policies have united in the struggle for life.
Heavy losses have created a grim atmosphere in Israel, serving to unify the defenses. World Jewry's
solidarity with the fighters for Israel's security is so impressive that renewed courage has been acquired by
the Israelis after the first two days of severe losses in manpower, loss of planes and tanks and the death
of many civilians who are casualties in the attacks by Syrian long-range guns.
Once again, Russia's role adds to Israel's difficulties, with heavy supplies from the USSR supplement-
ing the massed military hardware that overwhelms Israel's defensive weapons.
Syrian forces have been driven from the Golan. Now Israel concentrates to smash the Egyptian
