All Ages, Faiths Rally to Support of Israel
A non-Jewish w o m an
whose son was killed fight-
ing in World War II wrote,
"I know the heartaches of
war" and sent a check for
$5.
A boy who was saving
money to go to Israel next
summer contributed his sav-
ings, saying "If there's no
Israel next summer, I - won't
be able to go anyway."
A nearly blind 'Gentile
woman asked a friend to
help her get to the office of
the Flint Jewish Community
Council so she could give
$100.
These are just some of the
Jews and non-Jews who have
given money to help Israel
in the latest Mideast crisis.
Richard Krieger, executive
director of the council, esti-
mates that 225 Jewish young-
sters have contributed to the
UJA to help pay for social
welfare and educational pro-
grams in Israel.
Their contributions range
from 50 cents to $300, Krei-
ger said. Some children have
emptied their bank accounts
and given any money they
receive as presents, as well
as money earned from
chores around the house.
The young people held
their own Israel rally the day
after the outbreak of war,
before even the adults or-
ganized. And they are help-
ing the council by asking
friends for pledges, handing
out posters, buttons and
placards at rallies, running
errands and doing other
chores.
Some 150 Gentiles have
given sums ranging from $1
to $1,000, Krieger said. One
u7oman, who said she is a
factory worker with a family
to support, sent $10. "I have
often said that we Gentiles
should have a day of atone-
ment for our many sins
against your people," she
wrote.
Many walk into the office
to contribute, Krieger said.
Most are individuals, but
some represent local firms.
To the young people con-
tributing, the council sends
a letter concluding: "Take
great pride in what you've
done, for you have joined
together in the unity that one

paign.
Jew has always felt for an-
other. You have demon-
strated that the people of
Israel will always live."
A letter of gratitude to the
Gentiles says in part: 'The
officers and board of the

Council, sponsors of the UJA
campaign, count your con-
tribution as an affirmation
of your concern for human
life and the realization that

rael is the only bastion of
freedom and dignity in the

Mrs. Robert Mitchell, one
of four co-chairmen for
1974's Flint women's division
UJA campaign, said that the
women of Flint have re-
sponded to recent Middle
East events in a "beautiful
and cooperative manner and
with an understanding of the
needs of the UJA campaign"
by pledging so far a total of
$90.000 for the 1974 drive.
While this is the highest
amount ever raised by the
Flint women's division, Mrs.
Mitchell stressed that "More
is still needed."
She said that "This is not
an ordinary campaign—there
will be no luncheons, no
sneakers, no special events.
The women of Flint don't-
need the extra frills of a
campaign to realize their
commitment to world Jewry.
"The women of Flint have
become aware of Israel's
needs by reading their daily
newspapers. The needs are
so great that we must think
in terms of being frugal with
ourselves so that we can be
generous in our giving," she
said.
The early beginning of the
women's 1974 campaign co-
incides with the beginning of
the 1974 men's division
drive. led by chairman Dr.
Eli Shapiro. Mrs. Mitchell's
co-chairmen are Mrs. Louis
Kasle, Mrs. Gilbert Ruben-
stein and Mrs. Jack Stanzler.
1973 will begin next week.
Dr. Rosky said the new
policy is to open all budget
hearings to the entire com-
munity.
This year, the responsibil-
ity of recommending alloca-
tions will fall to four com-
mittees: overseas, Israel and
religious agencies; national
service community relations
and cultural agencies; local
agencies and services; and
United Jewish Appeal allo-
cation and administrative
budgeting.
While the voting to
mine recommendatioi., ,_ by
each subcommittee will re-
main within the framework
of that committee, the pres-
ence and opinion of any in-
terested community member
will play a vital role in help-
ing allocations become a
community determination,
Dr. Bosky said.
The meetings are sched-
uled as follows:
Nov. 13, 7:30 p.m., at
Temple Beth El (national
service, community relations
and cultural agencies).
Nov. 20, 7:30 p.m., at Cong.
Beth Israel (Israel and over-
seas and religious agencies).
Nov. 27, 7:30 p.m., at
