Jewish Agency's Leon Dulzin
Predicts Rise in UJA Funds
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Leon Dulzin, treasurer of
the Jewish Agency, dis-
cerns a pattern in dona-
tions to the United
Jewish Appeal. They fol-
low a curve that rises
sharply at times of mili-
tary crisis, declines
sharply as conditions re-
turn to normal but then
rise again in a gradual
but steady slope.
Dulzin, who is prepar-
ing the Jewish Agency's
budget for fiscal 1977,
said that UJA income is
now in one of its slow, up-
ward trends.
He predicted that 1977
will be a good year. "Jews
have grown accustomed
to donating large sums of
money and they do it
without a feeling of sac-
rifice," he said.
Furthermore, there is a
new generation of Jewish
leadership throughout the
world. "They are better.
They give more money, al-
though thay use different
terms of reference than
the previous generation,"
Dulzin said.
He noted that the cur-
rent Jewish Agency
budget was $502 million
although total expendi-
tures are not likely to ex-
ceed $440 million because
the number of immig-
rants fell short of antici-
pations.
The last budget was
based on 35,000 immi-
grants but only 20,000 ar-
rived. Dulzin would not
disclose the amount of the
new budget but said it
would be similar to the
current one.
He will present his
draft budget at the end of
February to a budget
committee headed by
Melvin Dubinsky of St.
Louis, chairman of the
United Israel Appeal.
Once approved, it will be
submitted to the Jewish
Agency Executive and
then to the Agency's
Board of Governors for
final approval.
Dulzin was generally
satisfied with the results
of the past year. Al-
though income from
countries covered by
Keren Hayesod was $20
million less than antici-
pated, cash income from
the U.S. was much higher
than expected, he said.
It amounted to $276
million at the end of 1976
compared to the original
estimation of $260 mill-
ion.
Fund-raising was espe-
cially good in December
and thus, despite gloomy
forecasts, the total cash
contributions to the UJA
was IL 4 Million higher
than last year.
Fund-raising got off to a
good start in 1977 he said,
and there are good pros-
pects for a further in-
crease.
He attributed the rise
in actual contributions - to
the 25 percent increase in
pledges made by the 3,000
delegates who partici-
pated in the UJA mission
that visited Israel last
spring and the Prime
Minister's UJA Confer-
ence.
