Bar-Ilan University, Sept.
18, at Cong. Shaarey Zedek.
Bar-Ilan and United Jew-
ish Appeal spokesmen
joined in emphasizing that
the major community re-
sponsibility is to the United
Jewish Appeal—the chief
beneficiary of Detroit's Al-
lied Jewish Campaign—and
that in the process of sup-
porting Israel philanthropi-
cally it is urgent that the ed-
ucational functions should
not be ignored and should
receive uninterrupted en-
couragement.

The occasion was the
honor accorded Paul
Zuckerman, former na-
tional UJA chairman and
now international fund-
raising chairman, and the
appearance on the dinner
program of Irving Bern-
stein, executive vice chair-
man of the UJA, who made
the presentation to Zuck-
erman.

Since Dr. Leon Fill ; gen-
eral chairman for the din-
ner, who has been named
1976 Allied Jewish Cam-
paign chairman, presided,
and Phillip Stollman, global
board chairman of Bar-Ilan,
were the other leading par-
ticipants in the program,

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE JEWISH
WELFARE FEDERATION OF DETROIT

Nominees to the Board of Governors

Pursuant to the by-laws of the JEWISH WELFARE FEDERATION OF DETROIT, the
following list of nominees, selected from the membership of the Federation, eligible
for election to the Board of Governors of the Federation, for a three-year term
ending in 1978, is presented herewith to the Executive Vice-President not less than
thirty days prior to the Annual Meeting which will take place on Wednesday,

October 29, 1975, at Congregation Shaarey Zedek, Southfield, Michigan at
6:00 p.m.

responsibility was thus ad-
ditionally emphasized.
Dr. Fill and Stollman
emphasized the priority to
be given UJA's appeal while,
as Stollman phrased it, an
additional "kvetch" is given
to the educational needs of
Israel.

Without naming the
very generous gift that has
been made to Bar-Ilan by
Nathan P. Rossen, Stoll-
man announced that the
new chemical building on
the Bar-Ilan campus will
be named in Rossen's
honor.

Echoing Dr. Fill's com-
mendations to Detroiters
for their pioneering efforts
for Bar-Ilan University,
Stollman stated that Bar-
Ilan really calls Detroit its
birthplace.
Referring to it as the
"universal university,"
Stollman recalled that the
first funds for th-e new
school of higher learning
was secured at a meeting at
the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Abraham Nusbaum.
He said there was concern
whether the school, with 70
students and 16 teachers
could survive. It now has
7,000 students with a fac-
ulty of most distinguished
scholars.

The event also was an
occasion for Stollman to
pay honor to Zvi Tomkiew-
icz, the executive director
of Bar-Ilan activities in
Detroit, for his dedicated
labors.

Bernstein, in his address,
spoke of the pressing needs
to provide for the many du-
ties fulfilled by UJA. He
gave an outline of the record
achievements in behalf of
Israel by Zuckerman and
commended him for his
courage, leadership and

most crucial years that de-
manded American support
for Israel.
Zuckerman's response
was a reaffirmation of con-
tinuing tasks for Israel and
Jewry in the roles he main-
tains in Jewish leadership.

The dinner had the
added impressiveness of a
notable concert by the fa-
mous Israeli and former
Russian operatic star,

Misha Raitzin. His pro-
gram of Hebrew, Yiddish
and operatic selections
drew demonstrative ac-
claim from the audience.
Raitzin will make his Met-

program included Rabbi

Hadassah Hospital Aids Arabs Seeking Help

FOR RE-ELECTION

Nathan P. Rossen's generous gift was acclaimed in
Phillip Stollman's announcement at the Bar-Ilan ( 1 '
ner. A wing in the chemistry building on the Bar-1
campus is being named in Rossen's honor. Shown abov -e,

Stollman.

The Arabic program on
Israel radio a few years ago
introduced a regular broad-
cast "The Doctor With the
Microphone." It was ini-
tiated by a Jewish teacher
from Iraq, Ilana Basri, after
a visit to the heart depart-
ment in the Jerusalem Had-
assah Hospital. She pro-
posed an Arabic program in
which Arab sick people
could write to doctors at
Hadassah Hospital and in-
quire about their diseases,
with the replies read on the
air.
In the beginning letters
came from Arab sick people
in Israel and many were
cured from their diseases by
medical advice received over
the radio.
Soon, this radio program
attracted more and more
interest in the neighboring
Arab countries and a
stream of letters arrived
from them. They were not
sent directly, as there is no
direct postal contact be-
tween Israel and the neigh-
boring Arab countries, but
through friends and rela-
tives in America, Latin
America, Europe and Cy-

prus. Each week more than
80 letters arrived from Arab
countries.
An Egyptian student, for
example, who suffered from
an eye disease and who has
consulted the biggest eye
specialists in Egypt, with-
out getting help, has turned
to doctors in Israel. He gave
details about his eye dis-
ease. Mrs. Basri appealed to
an eye specialist in Hadas-
sah Hospital who was ready
to make an examination
with the hope that he could
cure this disease. A week
after the answer from the
Israeli eye specialist was
broadcast on the Arab pro-
gram, the student arrived in
El Arish in Sinai and called
the Jerusalem broadcast
station. He was brought to
the famous eye specialist
Prof. Shaul Marin, who op-
erates with laser rays. The
student stayed some time in
Hadassah Hospital. One eye
has healed completely and
the second saved from blind-
ness.
The rich Arabs from
abroad do not state their
real names, as they wish to
avoid trouble in their coun-
tries. A policeman from
Kuwait wrote to the Arab
radio station in Jerusalem

through a friend in Nablus,
that he was 35 years old and
had been wounded in a car
accident and suffers from
several fractures. He was
operated on but cannot
walk. He has no money for
treatment. He is the only
son of a Kuwaiti family who
wishes to marry and asks,
whether he would be able to
have children in his state.
His letter was forwarded to
a specialist who, expressed
his readiness to examine
him.
Prof. Rogel of Hadassah
Hospital said that a great
number of doctors, profP--
sors, and specialists of F.
assah Hospital take part
this work.
Many thank-you letters
arrive in the broadcasting
station in Jerusalem from
Arabs all over the world.
Dozens of letters came from
sick Arabs, who were cured
in Jerusalem, inviting Prof.
Rogel to visit their countries
and homes. He dreams
about having direct contacts
with Arab doctors.

Freedom is man's capac-
ity to take a hand in his own
development. It is our ca-
pacity to mold ourselves.
