THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
NEW YORK — The insti-
tutions of Reform Judaism
have set aside the period
between the Jewish holi-
days of Passover
(Wednesday) to Shavuot
(May 16) for a major effort
by congregations and indi-
viduals to alleviate the
"plague of world famine
which now afflicts 400,-
000,000 of our fellow human
beings."
The 1.1 million members
of Reform synagogues in
the United States and Can-
ada are being asked to sign
P7Tte Passover pledge cards com-
....„ mitting each congregant to
is duce waste of food, cut
on beef, support legis-
on and contribute funds
and participate in other -ac-
[--
tivities to alleviate world
hunger.
The Commission on Social
Action of Reform Judaism
— a joint body of both the
Union of American Hebrew
Congregations and the Cen-
y
tral Conference of Ameri-
can Rabbis — mailed pledge
cards to be signed by mem-
bers of the movement's 715
congregations.
The four-page card,
"Passover Pledge of Con-
science," calls upon the
Reform Jew to reduce his
beef intake by one-third;
practice two meatless days
each week; observe an
additional fast day an-
nually; if possible, grow
fruits and vegetables at
home; neuter household
pets; not use fertilizer for
non-food purposes, such as
lawns; and to forward
money saved by these acts
to UAHC Hunger Head-
quarters, 838 Fifth Av-
enue, New York 10021,
where the funds will be
distributed to appropriate
.agencies.
Both the congregations
and their members were
urged to conduct educa-
tional forums, hold special
religious services, communi-
cate with national legisla-
tors to support American
leadership in granting aid
and development programs
'to food-deficit nations and
to encourage United States
participation in the creation
of world food and fertilizer
reserve systems, collect food
and clothing for poor fami-
lies in the community and
adopt similar food conserva-
tions practices as indicated
on the pledge card.
A special appeal was
made to 15-16 year-old con-
firmands whose graduation
exercises are usually held
during the religious observ-
ance of Shavuot. The young
people were asked to incor-
porate the "mitzvot" of feed-
ing the hungry and helping
the needy.
Youngsters were urged to
participate with their par-
ents at Shavuot in a na-
tional Reform "Bikkurim —
food awareness day" by ob-
serving some of the recom-
mended personal activities,

On May 5, 1974, the Greek
government threatened
with more PLO terrorist
attacks, expelled the two
Palestinians, who are now
free.
In September, 1972, eight
Arab terrorists assassi-
nated 11 members of the
Israeli Olympic team in
Munich. Five of the Arab
gunmen were killed by pol-

survived and were jailed to
stand trial.'
Two months later two
Palestinians hijacked a Luf-

blow it up, unless the three
Arab prisoners were re-
leased. The West German
government flew them to Li-
bya where they were set
free.
