Y
1974 Flint UJA Campaign Off to Early Start
Michael A. Pelavin, presi-
dent of the Flint Jewish
Community C o u n c i 1, an-
noui.ced at a solidarity rally
last week at Temple Beth
El, that the 1974 Flint United
Jewish Appeal campaign
would commence immediate-
ly. He expressed hope that
all pledges would be in
within 45 days.
Dr. Eli Shapiro, chairman
of the 1974 UJA campaign,
states:
"This will be your oppor-
tunity to join in the struggle
for freedom and human dig-
nity that makes Israel a
haven for the oppressed and
suffering Jews. It is for you
to play a role in the con-
tinuous struggle of Israel to
survive.
"While Israel faces terrible
problems from Arab hordes,"
he said, "her door remains
open to assist those Jews
suffering the unrelieved and
ingrained persecution that is
being fostered in Russia,
Syria. Iraq and other Arab
and Soviet-dominated coun-
tries only because those peo-
ple are Jews. Israel is their
only haven: You are their
only hope! Please make your
commitment, give generous-
This 1974 campaign comes
on the heels of an extensive
Israel Emergency Fund and
cash collections drives cov-
ering the period up to 1974.
Lou Epstein is co-chairman
of the men's division, and
chairing the women's divi-
sion for 1974 are Mesdames
Louis Kasle, Robert Mitchell,
Gilbert Rubenstein and
Phoebe Stanzler.
An audience of about 500
from Flint and surrounding
cities attended the rally and
heard Mrs. Yosef Tekoah,
wife of Israel's permanent
ambassador to the United
Nations, appeal: "We are
giving our red blood. We are
asking you for green blood.
We are making our sacri-
fices. We are asking you for
your-sacrifices, to give more
than you would have ever
thought of before."
She said Israeli soldiers
have called home to ask that
their savings be given to the
country to fight the war;
elderly persons are giving up
their national - insurance;
children are giving what
they can. Every Israeli citi-
Donor Luncheon
Set by Hadassah
Ann Lebster Chapter of
Hadassah will have its 44th
annual donor luncheon noon
Nov. 14 at Cong. Beth Israel.
Co-chairmen Mrs. Allen
Silverton, Mrs. Jerald Mills
and Mrs. Max Kukler have
been assisted by the follow-
ing committee chairmen:
Mesdames Gerald Reznick,
Jack Magidsohn, Harvey
Ring, J. Bernard, H. Kesten,
S. Epstein, Syd Osher, Leo-
nard Bragman, Ray Engle-
man, Sam Blum, Harry Katz,
N. Gross, Hy Richman, Leon
Rosky, Phoebe Stanzler, R.
Benison, G. Schreiber, G.
Suber, M. Kukler, J. Mills,
H. Katz, B. Lovitky, P. Kro-
nick, S. Kramer and J.
Kippelman.
The program will feature
a talk by Mrs. Norman
Rogers, who has been on the
national board of Hadassah
for 17 years.
Many other members of
the organization have assist-
ed in completing the journal
and in selling tickets.
zen has been requested to
give a month's salary as a
compulsory loan.
But those, she said, are
contributions to fight the
war. Jews across the world
are being asked to give
$900,000,000 in the 1974 United
Jewish Appeal drive for
social welfare, housing, edu-
cation and needs of refugees
so that the entire Israel
budget can go to fighting the
war, she said.
"We would like to see as
much aid as possible, but we
don't want anybody to fight
for us_ We want to fight for
our survival — and we can
do it. We're good fighters.
We know what we're fighting
for. We know we have no
alternative. At stake is the
survival of the Jewish people
all over the world," she said.
Reya Kruk, who lived
through two concentration
camps during World War H,
then spent years in the So-
viet Union, was another
guest speaker at the rally.
Last November, she and her
family emigrated to Israel,
where she now lives.
She left Russia, she said,
because of the lack of free-
dom for intellectuals and for
Jews. An artist, she could
exhibit only those paintings
the state wanted exhibited.
She wanted her daughter
raised as a Jew. It took her
a year to get out — a year
during which she and her
husband lost their jobs, she
said.
She criticized as naive
those "who think detente
with totalitarianism is pos-
sible. Can there be detente
when the wish of people to
join their families in Israel
is a crime? Let us help Is-
rael to survive."
Also speaking at the rally
were Brian Veenhuis, presi-
dent of the United Teachers
of Flint; Genesee County
Prosecutor Robert F. Leo-
nard who has been in Russia
and has been a spokesman
for Russian Jewry; and Max
Engleman, a Flint youth
heading up a teen-age cam-
paign for funds for Israel.
Engleman stated that as of
last week; the Flint area
youth have raised approxi-
mately $5,000.
