Boris Smolar's 'Between You ... and Me' Editor-in-Chief Emeritus, JTA (Copyright 1975, JTA, Inc.) 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.
