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, the totality of communal 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 By MOSHE RON Mrs. Morris J. Brandwine Martin E.

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- ropolitan Opera debut in Nov. 4.

Hadassah Hospital Aids Arabs Seeking Help Jewish News Special Israel Correspondent 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, from left, are Zvi Tomkiewicz, Dr. Leon Fill, Rossen and 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. —Rollo May
