The combined organization
will continue to use the name:
Jewish Federation of Metro-
politan Chicago.
In recent years, the federa-
tion has been responsible for
coordinating and funding its
services in the Chicago area
to the aged, children and
youth, the sick and troubled
families and persons of all
ages requiring vocational aid
and job placement.
The merger is one result of
a comprehensive three-year
planning and priority project.
The new federation board
also will add nine members
from the board of the Jewish
United Fund who do not now
serve on either the federation
or JWF boards.
The JUF will continue to
function as the fund-raising
arm for the federation for
domestic and overseas needs
and will have the same offi-
cers and directors as the
merged federation.
Jewish Agency 'Real Representative
Body of World Jewry'-Max Fisher
By DAVID LANDAU
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Max
Fisher of Detroit, re-elected
chairman of the Jewish
Agency's board of governors,
said that the Agency has be-
come "the real representa-
tive body of world Jewry."
He said he had "never
seen better working relation-
ships than those that have
developed between the World
Zionist Organization and the
so-called non-Zionists" — the
representatives of the fund-
raising bodies abroad who
joined to form the reconsti-
tuted Jewish Agency.
But Fisher has set his
sights on further expansion.
He hinted as much in his
closing speech when he ob-
served, "If we are—infor-
mally—a committee of the
whole Jewish survival, then
let us find ways to bring in-
to our Agency those great
and responsible Jewish
bodies whose interest in sur-
vival is no less than ours

minister of Israel, will join

Under his next heading,
"Creative Klita," (absorp-
tion) Fisher spoke forthright-,
ly of the failure of the Agen-
cy ("whose failure? Not all
ours — but surely ours in
part," he said) to narrow
the social gaps and succeed
in the in-depth absorption of
Afro-Asian newcomers. ". . .
We brought people to devel-
opment towns. We even re-
membered them — some of
the time. We built schools,
kindergartens and centers.
But did we ever provide
enough trained people for
these institutions?" he asked.
"Jewish education means
survival" was Fisher's next
point.

"Jews are a family" was
Fisher's last point—and un-
der this title he suggested
visits by Agency leaders to
small outlying communities.
He said he himself planned
such visits.
Later, he told the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency he was
leaving for South Africa this
week, and that he had sub-
sequent invitations to Chile
and to Australia, which he
hoped to take up in the fu-
ture.

It may appear a minute
matter to pronounce the He-
brew blessing over bread,
and to accustom one's chil-
dren to do so. Yet if a Jew,
at the time of partaking of
food, remembers the identi-
cal words used by his fellow
Jews since time immemorial
and the world over, he re-
vives in himself, where/er
he be at the moment, com-
munion with his imperishable
people. In contrast to not a
few of our co-religionists who
have no occasion for weeks
and months together to be-
stow a thought on their creed
or their People, the Jew who
keeps kashrut has to think
of his religious and commu-
nal allegiance on the occa-
sion of every meal; and, on
every such occasion, the gb-
servance of those laws con-
stitutes a renewal of acqui-
escence in the fact that he
is a Jew, and a deliberate
acknowledgement of that
fact.—Waldeman Haffkine.
Kahane Jailed
in Jerusalem
for Conspiracy
JERUSALEM (JTA)-
Rabbi Meir Kahan e, the
founder and former head of
the Jewish Defense League
was sentenced by a Jerusa-
lem District Court for con-
spiracy to damage U.S.-Is-
raeli relations. He was ac-
quitted on a second count of
conspiracy to commit a
crime.
Kahane was found guilty
on the basis of letters and
a cable he sent to JDL ac-
tivists in the U.S. exhorting
them to sabotage Arab and
Soviet embassies in Wash-
ington and to sabotage the
American visit of Soviet Com-
munist Party Secretary
Leonid Brezhnev in June
1973 because of Russia's
treatment of Jews.
The Kahane letters also
urged his cohorts to sabotage
American economic institu-
tions and commercial firms
doing business with the
USSR.
Judge Yaacov Bazak, ex-
plaining the conviction, said
that although the violations
charged to Kahane were car-
ried out by an individual,
the U.S. could regard Israel
as responsible for acts of in-
dividuals if she did not pre-
vent them.
Rabbi Kahane rose to
speak for himself, insisting
that he was not asking for
mercy and saying he did not
regret any of the things re-
lated to him.
cy assembly called for clos-
er coordination between the
Agency and the various gov-
ernment ministries. " . . . in
order to establish the most
effective means for deliver-
ing comprehensive, coordin-
ated and dignified services to
aid immigrants."
The 80-member commit=
tee d e t e c t e d widespread
apathy in Israel toward aliya
and devised a revolutionary
approach to counter this
phenomenon.
The committee urged that
"immigration and absorp-
tion" become "a new inter-
disciplinary academic spe-
cialty (in the universities)
occupying the same stature
as economics, political sci-
ence or sociology . . . A spe-
cial task force should be de-
veloped by the Jewish Agen-
cy to develop such a pro-
gram."
Further, and on a more
general level, the committee
recommended "a national
public effort and educational
campaign to mobilize opinion
in Israel" on the importance
of aliya to the state and its
people. Here, too, the com-
mittee envisioned a leading
role for the Jewish Agency,
which "should take the initia-
tive . . . to mount such an
expanded effort."
The media, schools, worn-
en's groups, professional or-
ganizations and youth move-
ments should all be encom-
passed in this massive new
effort, the committee urged.
