Network to Head Israel-Related
Youth Activities in N. America
NEW YORK — More
than 200 Jewish students at
the North American Con-
gress on Israel, voted to
create the Network Israel
Task Force to co-ordinate
Israel-related activities dur-
ing the coming school year.
The purpose of the con-
gress, sponsored by the
North American Jewish
Student's Network, was to
mobilize the student com-
munity to take positive ac-
tion on behalf of Israel.
Based on the participants'
assessment of immediate
campus and community
needs, and a desire to avoid
duplicating other organiza-
tion's efforts, three projects
were selected to be imple-
mented by the Network Is-
rael Task Force.
•
In order of priority the
projects selected are: the
creation of an Israel re-
source center which in-
cludes a clearinghouse of
programming ideas and the
publication of an Israel cat-
alogue; an Israel Awareness
Week which is to include
teach-ins and cultural
events on campuses
throughout North America;
and a wide scale effort to ed-
ucate students on the Pales-
tinian issue including a se-
ries of seminars presenting
a variety of views, education
packets and possible dia-
logues between Jewish and
Arab students.
Jews Active in Belfast
Despite Their Isolation
BY MARK SEGAL
(Copyright 1975, JTA, Inc.)
BELFAST — In spite of
its isolated geographical
position, the Belfast Jewish
community is well-inte-
grated into the organiza-
tional map of Anglo-Jewry.
It has three members on
the Board of Deputies of
British Jews who regularly
attend board meetings in
London. They are in' close
touch with the office of the
Chief Rabbi, and the congre-
gation is affiliated to the
United Synagogue.
The Joint Israel Appeal is
a highly active organization
in this community under
the chairmanship of Rich-
ard Bloch.
His family and relatives
make up the tiny Jewish
outpost in nearby Porta-
down. They reached Uls-
ter in the late 1930s, after
fleeing from Hitlerite Eu-
rope, and like many other
Jews, the only place they
were allowed to settle in
the United Kingdom was
Ulster.
Many of the committees
and groups found in other
British communities are to
be found here. But due to
the local community's small
numbers, the same names
reappear frequently.on dif-
ferent eommiVes and exec-
utive bodies.
Local Jewish women have
a highly organized life, too.
There is the Women's Guild
of the Synagogue, while the
relatively high number of
150 women belong to the
three women's Zionist socie-
ties: the Daughters of Zion;
Ziona; and Young WIZO.
The Belfast Jewish In-
stitute is the focus of Jew-
ish social life in Northern
Ireland. Its two floors are
.always full of people at-
tending the various activi-
ties, which include a
drama circle, various so-
cieties, a youth club and
indoor sports.
A major drawing point is
its dining room which opens
four times weekly and is the
only kosher restaurant in
Northern Ireland.
The most popular outdoor
sport of the younger set is
golf. Their own club is based
at the institute, but they
play at the Fort William
golf course — one of the
meeting places for the mid-
dle classes of all religious
denominations. Last year,
the club captain was a Jew.
Sapir Backs
Britain's Head .
of Israel Appeal
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Jewish Agency Executive
Chairman Pinhas Sapir
strongly backed Michael
Sacher, chairman of Brit-
ain's Joint Israel Appeal
and a member of the Jewish
Agency Board of Governors,
against criticism by Jewish
Agency emissaries in Lon-
don.
In a statement here, Sapir
angrily rejected the emis-
saries' charges of "bossism"
and "hegemony of the rich"
over their activities in Brit-
ain. Those complaints were
contained in a cable to Sapir
which was published in
some local newspapers.
The emissaries objected
to economy measures rec-
ommended in a recent re-
port by a committee headed
by Sacher which suggested
cuts to meet the agency's
budget difficulties. One of
the cuts was in the number
of Israeli emissaries prom-
oting aliya in Britain.
The chief aliya emissary
in Britain, Yitzhak Meyer,
announced his resigna-
tion. Sapir, who heads the
agency's aliya depart-
ment, said Meyer had been
asked to complete his two-
year term and that it was
Sapir's decision not to ex-
tend it for a third year.
Sapir noted that Sacher
has devoted "tens of years of
energetic activity to the
Zionist cause" and "anyone
who knows him and knows
his work," he told the emis-
saries "knows the inaccu-
racy of your terminology."

UNRWA Faces
Financial Crisis
NATIONS
UNITED
(JTA) — The United Na-
tions Relief and Works
Agency for Palestine Refu-
gees in the Near East
(UNRWA) is facing the
worst financial crisis in its
25-year history, UN Secre-
tary General Kurt Wal-
dheim said last week.
He warned that the fail-
ure to provide funds for
UNRWA could add a new
element of instability to the
already tense Middle East
situation. •
UNRWA's deficit is ex-
pected to reach $30 million
out of a 1975 budget of $125
million. Waldheim said that
unless additional contribu-
tions come in there would be
an almost virtual elimina-
tion of UNRWA school edu-
cation programs.
UNRWA is financed by
voluntary contributions
from governments. The
main contributors in 1974
were the United States with
$28 million and the Euro-
pean Common Market coun-
tries with $24 million.
