THE CJFWF ASSEMBLY: Basic principles of the Jew-
ish Federations in this country will be re-examined at the
General Assembly of the Council of Jewish Federations and
Welfare Funds-the parliament of the organized Jewish
communities in the United States and Canada. The As-
sembly meets next week in Chicago, with 2,500 partici-
pants.
This year the needs and responsibilities of the com-
munities have greatly increased on the local scene, the na-
tional scene and on the front of helping Jews overser•
particularly Israel and Soviet Jews. Inflation alone n .
sitates the raising of $87,000,000 more than the anticipa, -;
1974 achievement of $725,000,000 just to stay even, not to
speak of the special needs which emerged in the post-Yom
Kippur War period.
The changing profile of the American Jew-and its im-
pact on Federation planning-is one of the topics on the
assembly's agenda which will provoke profound interest and
serious discussion. It is from this profile that the portrait of
American Jewry will emerge fully in the next few years.
It is also from this profile that a picture will develop
showing the direction toward which American Jewry can
be expected to go.
A "NEW LOOK": A fresh look will be taken at the
quality of Jewish life in the United Stites. This will be re-
flected in discussions of the propects of the Institute for
Jewish Life which the CJFWF established three years.
The future of the institute mill be a major matter be-
fore the assembly. During its existence, it has helped to
create a number of innovative projects aimed at strengthen-
ing Jeivish life. It has financially assisted 32 cultural, edu-
cational and spiritual programs, however, its activities re-
ceive little public attention.
There is a recommendation urging the continuation of
the institute for another five-year• period. There also is
a recommendation to continue the work of the institute
for one year only, on a budget at the existing level of
$550,000, with the intention to later assess more fully its
achievements.
Early reports indicate that some large communities
have expressed grave doubts about the willingness of
their Federations to continue support for the institute, in
the face of growing local needs in the same fields and the
diminished resources available to support them. Smaller
cities have complained of the Institute's lack of programs
to meet their distinctive needs. Some communities perceive
an overlapping of functions between the institute and ex-
isting national or local institutions devoted to-Jewish cul-
ture and education.
Nevertheless, it can be safely assumed that the as-
sembly will decide that the institute should continue its
existence. Such a decision will be in line with the argu-
ment that the current assessment of the achievements of
the institute is partial and insufficient-two years are con-
sidered a _short testing period by most of the communities
involved in financing the institute.
ANOTHER "NEW LOOK": Another field into which
a fresh look will be taken by the assembly is the field
of federation-synagogue relations. A progress report on
this subject will be presented to the delegates for discus-
sion.
The need to develop and strengthen - on-going relation-
ships between federations and synagogues - as the two
central sources of Jewish strength and commitment-has
long been recognized. The question now is to find methods
for creating communal discipline and procedures-control
and accountability - while maintaining the desirable au-
tonomy and self-determination of each of the two bodies.
There is also the question of improving channels of com-
munication between federations and synagogues on com-
munal concerns,
Bar-Ilan U. Marks 20th Anniversary
RAMAT-GAN - The 20th
academic year of Bar-Ilan
University has begun with a
student enrollment of nearly
7,000, including 1,800 fresh-
men. Bar-Ilan was the first
university in Israel to open
for the new study year.
Continuing expansion and
consolidation in the academic
field is planned. Among the
programs being introduced
is the new department of
general Jewish studies spe-
cially for students studying
to be , high school teachers.
It will provide them with a
thorough comprehensive pic-
ture of Jewish studies.
This year more dep
ments have arranged
programs so that stu
can take afternoon and eve-
ning courses.
Research activities will be
increased and several new
research institutes are being
established. Research and
study will receive a big boost
with the introduction of a
new IBM 370/168 computer
now being installed.
A man will have to give
account on the Judgment
Day for every good- thing _
which he might have enjoyed
and did not.-Talmud
