Continuing High Goals Seen for U A by Paul Zuckerman Paul Zuckerman, general chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, who headed one of the most successful missions of campaign leaders and workers, said he is heartened by advance giving for the 1975 campaign that there will be continuity in generosity and Aznerican Jewry's determination to support and defend Israel. Zuckerman, at extreme left, chats with Israel's President Ephraim Katzir during the recent Prime Minister's Mission to Israel. Zuckerman led the mission, the most successful in the United Jewish Appeal's history. At the conclusion of the three-day exploration of Israel's hUmanitarian programs and after top-level conferences and briefings, the 275 top Jewish communal leaders from the United States pledged $15,000,000 to the 1975 campaign, an increase of $2,000,000 over their giving in the emergency Yom. Kippur War campaign. Zuckerman said that the response of the Americans to' the needs of Israel at this time is a "wonderful thing. American Jews have reached a new plateau of understanding, a wisdom and understanding which doesn't need war, blood, graves, widows, or orphans to bring us to know our responsi• 48—Friday, Sept. 20, 1974 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS bilities. American Jews would rather give to prevent blood than to mop up blood." Among the participants in the mission were the 1975 campaign chairmen of 55 federations and welfare funds, most of them in their early 30s and 40s, who told the prime minister that in - America too, "the sons of the fathers" were accepting their Jewish communal responsibility. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, shown in center with Zuckerman, said that "life in Israel for the next decade will be determined this year." Jewish Agency Treasurer, Leon Dulzin, predicted an increase in Russian-Jewish immigration to Israel before the end of this year. In the photo at right, UJA leader Zuckerman asked these youngsters young ( about their new life in Israel. When newcomers arrive, the humanitarian services, funded primarily through the Jewish Agency by the UJA, provide them with housing, clothing, and their parents with the' necessary vocational and absorption programs. It takes about three years before the typical immigrant family becomes an independent and productive unit in the nation's economy.
