UJA Uses Metal Industries
as Model for Fund Raising
NEW YORK — United Jew-
ish Appeal General Chairman
Frank R. Lautenberg an-
nounced that the national met-
als industry solicitation pro-
gram, a pilot project currently
producing outstanding results
throughout the country, would
be used as a model for future
nationwide fund-raising pro-
grams within gther industries.
The metals industry was se-
lected for the pilot project,
which is coordinated by UJA
National Chairman Stanley L.
Sloane, because it has contin-
ued to enjoy relative prosperity
in spite of difficult times in the
United States.
"The metals program marks
the first time the United Jewish
Appeal has coordinated na-
tional solicitation in a specific
industry," Launtenberg stated.
More than 300 contributions
have resulted from the inten-
sive solicitation program,
conducted in both federated
and non-federated communi-
ties. A number of first-time
contributors responded, as
well as previously identified
major contributors. More
than half the gifts were of
$10,000 or more.
'Jewish Reflections on Death' Aids mourners
Jewish traditions deal com-
passionately and at the same
time philosophically with prob-
lems in death as well as in life.
The laws that relate to be-
reavement, the manner in
which the comforting of survi-
vors in the religious aspects of
Jewish life, are impressively de-
fined and are given deeply mov-
ing emphasis in a series of brief
essays by a number of the most
prominent Jewish thinkers and
scholars in the Schocken-pub-
lished "Jewish Reflections on
Death."
The program culminated in a
fact-finding mission to Israel
this past week in which 50 in-
dustrial leaders studied current
economic and social conditions
there while meeting with pro-
fessional colleagues in Israel.
Fred Berman, of Birming-
ham, Ala., chaired the mission.

sonal anguish stands as a
wall between him and all
those upon whose way in life
the dark shadow has not
fallen. A people closes ranks
and encircles its stricken
member with the warmth of
brotherly sympathy.
The religious service of this
little group, representing the
larger community, takes place
in the home. It is a tribute to
the central position of the
home.
Where a family lives and
loves and fashions the most in-
timate bonds to link persons
one to the other, there you have
a sanctuary no less than the
synagogue. Its holiness is of no
lesser kind than that with
which the formal house of
prayer of the entire community
is invested.
The poignancy and sanctity
of grief are best expressed in
the intimate sanctuary of the
home. The sanctuary of the
home can never be replaced by
synagogue or temple, however
large or magnificent.

Among the notable selections
chosen for this volume is the
late Rabbi Morris Adler's "We
Do Not Stand Alone" in which
the late spiritual leader of De-
troit's Congregation Shaarey
Zedek described the dignity of a
shiva service and the import-
ance of home and synagogue
services and inspirations. Dr.
Adler's essay follows:
The friends are no longer in-

with the mourners dictates.

Though this community is
small in numbers, it represents
in every religious detail the
larger klal yisrael of which
each identified Jew is part.
Thus does a community sym-
bolically and actually share in
the sorrow of one of its mem-
bers. The grief of the individual
reechoes in the life of the group.
