14 Friday, July 2, 1976 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS DETROIT UNITES IN HELPING NCSY YOUTH Dr. Arnold Zuroff recently announced the launching of the Detroit-NCSY Youth Appeal 1976 (5736). The entire com- munity will be asked to participate in . helping NCSY to reach _ Dr. Mathew Borovoy Gustav Berenholz out in transmitting Judaism to our youth. As expected, the response of the Detroit community leaders has been very encouraging. Irwin I. Cohn Avern Cohn David B. Holtzman Alexander Karp Bernard Kaufman Functioning in thirty seven American states and five Canadian provinces and with a vibrant program here in De- troit. NCSY has grown into one of the largest and most active Jewish youth movements in the world. Gabriella Karp From Vancouver to Miami . . . from Montreal to Los Angeles . . . NCSY is changing communities, restoring -hope, rekindling the fervor of young people from committed homes, and reaching out to those who never tasted from the deep well-springs of our Tradition. IS IT nearly three hundred regional and district seminars, Camps, Shabba- tons, Conclaves and Leader's Institutes attended by over 25,000 each year; or is it a sixteen year old who has made a secret pledge to remain a loyal Jew? IS IT tears at the Western Wall dur- ing the Israel Summer Seminar; or is it one determined girl who was the first teenager in her community to re- fuse to take the College Boards on Shabbat and demanded the opening of a Sunday Testing Center? Morris Flatt NCSY IS THIS AND MORE WHAT IS NCSY? IS IT 800 young people gathered at National Convention from nearly every community in North America reaf- firming their loyalty to Torah; or is it the private delight of a fifteen year old who has decided to keep his or her first Shabbos? Sally Fields Judge Nathan J. Kaufman IS IT the thousands of letters between teenagers and the young collegiate ad- visors they met at an educational event carrying messages of hope and strength to a generation that is pre- pared to declare its loyalty to Torah living; or is it a seventeen year old girl who has refused a non-Jewish date be- cause NCSY offered an alternative to a life filled with dead ends. Literally thousands have been in- spired to return to Jewish tradition and enter schools of Torah study. But even more significant is the undeniable evidence that a massive return of Jew- ish youth to our heritage is necessary, feasible, and in many parts of our con- tinent, a realized fact. Susan Kendler NCSY has tapped the unique human resources of the Yeshiva movement to infuse spiritual and intellectual di- rection into a vast nationwide program of Jewish rediscovery. This has re- sulted in an effective Jewish renais- sance among tens of thousands of al- ienated youth. 46) 04 Irving Nusbaum Terry Novetsky Morris Novetsky Dr. Harris Mainster David Pollack Felix Rosenzweig Nathan P.
