a large auditorium, stage and dressing rooms, offices
-and meeting rooms and a fully equipped modern
kitchen. The building comes equipped with a large shel-
ter which is mandatory and ,whenever buildings of this
type are being erected. Mr. and Mrs. Rossen's generos-

and Zionists everywhere dedicated to Israel.

CALL OF TIME: A change in the ancient Jewish call
"Next Year in Jerusalem" will mark the new year just
started. The new text will be "This Year .in Jerusalem."
The innovation will be introduced by the United Jewish
Appeal. It will be followed by other Jewish organizations.
In many Jewish homes the craving wish "Next Year in Jeru-
salem" — usually recited at the family Seder as part of the
Haggada — will also be replaced by "This Year in Jerusa-
lem."
As a result, the UJA will hold its next annual national
four-day conference not in New York — where it has been
holding it all the years of is existence — but in Jerusalem.
The UJA national conference is usually attended by more
than 2,000 participants from communities in all parts of the
United States.
This will be the largest American Jewish gathering in
Jerusalem in the history of the state of Israel. Its purpose
will be to demonstrate American Jewish solidarity with Is-
rael against the Arab-Soviet anti-Israel manipulations in
the United Nations; to uplift the morale of the Jews in Is-
rael by displaying American Jewish affinity with them on
a large scale; and to bring to Israel a large number of Amer-
ican Jews who will help to relieve partly the . depressed econ-
omy in the country by spending several million dollars dur-
ing their stay.
SOLIDARITY PILGRIMS: In taking the initiative to
proclaim "This Year in Jerusalem" as its slogan for 1976,
the UJA is not merely paving the way for other Jewish or-
ganizations to emulate its action. Its ambition is much
higher. It wants to make this year a year of "Solidarity Pil-
grimages" to Israel. It hopes to stimulate every community
group and thousands of Jewish families to visit Israel this
year.
The UJA will also send special missions to Israel. There
will be more than 300 of them this year — community mis-
sions, women's missions, youth missions, professional mis-
sions — each of them averaging about 100 participants. This
will mean that at least 3,000 more American Jewish visitors
will reach Israel through the UJA system even before the
national. UJA conference opens in Jerusalem.
CHALLENGE TO U.S. JEWRY: The UJA effort to
make this year a year of stimulating more American Jews
to visit Israel is a challenge to every Jew in this country. It
comes at a year when the Jewish Agency — the recipient of
UJA funds for financing human needs in Israel — was
forced to cut drastically its budget despite the fact that the
needs are now greater than ever.
The Jewish Agency budget for 1975-76 was set at $702
million. Because of the outlook that no such sum could be
raised during the year, it was reduced to an "absolute mini-
mum" of $542 million. The major victim of the cut is hous-
ing which is today a major problem in Israel.
The budget for immigration and absorption has also
been cut substantially. About 325,000 immigrants have ar-
rived in Israel during the last eight years, more than 100,-
000 of them from the Soviet Union. Today it is known that
there are still 160,000 applications from Soviet Jews for exit
visas to Israel awaiting action in Moscow. Nevertheless, the
projected Jewish Agency budget for immigration and ab-
sorption had to be reduced.
Affected by reduction in the budget are also social wel-
fare services, education and other human needs. The cuts —
amounting to $160 million — are classified as "deferred
budget items." They could be restored only if UJA succeeds
in securing larger contributions.
Cosmetic Firm
Uses Dead Sea
CHICAGO — Lon Cos-
metic Ltd. has emerged
from its beginnings eight
years ago — a shed in the
small village of Yerucham
in the Negev hills, an hour
from the Dead Sea.
Utilizing the sea's sources
of chemicals and salts, Lon
has, according to a spokes-
man, outdistanced interna-
tionally known companies
which sell cosmetics to Is-
rael.
The Dead Sea products
are sold door-to-door by ap-
proximately 500, sales-
women who demonstrate
the cosmetics, bath salts
and other beauty aids.
In addition, Lon products
are available through the
countu's more than 2,000
beauty- shops.
