_ PERSONALITY PROFILE: Meet Leonard R. Strelitz.
the new general chairman of the National United Jewish
Appeal. He is a fourth-generation American. His wife.
Joyce. is fifth generation American. They represent assur-
ance of Jewish continuity of which so much is being spo-
ken in this country.
Strelitz is a product of young leadership development
1tarted over two decades ago by the United Jewish Appeal
parallel with the Council of Jewish Federations and Wel-
fare Funds. He is 53 years old-but looks much younger-
and has already established for himself an enviable record
in Jewish communal leadership. A resident of Norfolk,
Va.. he has been actively participating in local Jewish af-
fairs for quite a number of years. On the national scene he
served as a UJA national chairman prior to his becoming
the general chairman.
Like President Carter, he comes from the South. He is
the first general chairman of the UJA to come from the
South. He brings with him new energy. new plans, determi-
nation and vigor. He has formulated a number of "prior-
ities" which will serve as guidelines for the UJA during
the next two years.
U J A INNOVATIONS: One of the ambitions of Strel-
itz, as the new general chairman. is to reach out to the
over 50 percent of Jews in this country. who do not contrib-
ute. It is estimated that the UJA has about 1.000.000 con-
tributors.
But his major ambition is to introduce in the UJA four
"priorities" which he calls "the Four R's"--Region-
alization, Restructure. Recruitment and Responsibility.
Regionalization is his first priority. Each region in the
American Jewish community must become a mini-version
of the national leadership structure in order to function ef-
ficiently and effectively. •
Basic organizational restructure is his second priority.
The essence of this restructuring is to create avenues for
the best and brightest
people in the community to
find a way to be active not
only in their Federations.
Recruitment is his third
priority and this deals with
recruitment of professional
leadership. Strelitz points
out that much of the UJA
achievements rest squarely
on the shoulders of the pro-
fessional: he therefore advo-
cates more effective means
of recruiting professionals
in order to assure the con-
tinued flow of professional
leadership to either the Fed-
LEONARD STRELITZ
erations or to the National
United Jewish Appeal.
His final priority-responsibility-visualizes greater com-
mitment on the part of men and women standing in the
ranks of Jewish leadership in their communities and on
the national level.
U J A. "SIDE EFFECTS": Interested primarily in the
success of UJA fund-raising. Strelitz does not consider the
UJA merely a fund-raising agency. He also has a philoso-
phy on the "side-effects" which UJA fund-raising have on
Jewish life in America.
One of the major "side-effects" is the strengthening of
Jewish consciousness among many Jews in this country
who, without being solicited for contributions to the 1J /JA-
which they usually give when properly approached-would
have felt completely indifferent to their Jewishness.
Another important "side-effect" is the education which
the UJA campaign brings to many Jews who are either=
misinformed, or not informed at all. on Israel and on Jew-
ish developments in other countries where communities
are in need of American Jewish aid.

TEL AVIV—When the
world is searching for new
sources of energy, equip-
ment designed by a team of
Tel Aviv University scien-
tists for the High-Energy
Astronomical Observatory
satellite recently launched
by NASA to measure and re-
cord changes in the x-ray
radiation from the stars,
may be a solution.
"If it leads to an under-
standing of the source of
energy which emits these x-
rays, it could enable us to
imitate this process and uti-
lize a similar source of
energy on earth," com-
mented Dr. Dror Sadeh, pro-
Soviet Art Show Warmly Received
SEATTLE (JTA)—An
un-
usual exhibition of paintings
and sculpture by 12 Lenin-
grad Jewish artists has met
with enthusiastic response
in this city. The exhibit,
which opened June 10 and
closed two weeks also, was
sponsored by the Commu-
nity Relations Committee
of the Jewish Federation of
Greater Seattle and shown
at a local theater.
Eleven of the artists
whose works were shown
have requested emigration
visas. As a result, the art-
ists, all graduates of the fin-
est art institutions in the So-
viet Union, have been ex-
pelled from the Artist's
Union and denied the right
to work or to declare-art as
their profession. The
twelfth artist, Tatyana Kor-
nfeld, a 27-year-old gradu-
ate of the Leningrad Acad-
emy of Art, was permitted
to emigrate to Israel last
year.

Our high-interest certificate savings accounts
help you earn extra money by waiting.
Pretend it's six years from now.
You go to your desk drawer and look at-the six-year certificate
savings account you opened back in 1977. Remember the $1,000 you -
took to First Federal Savings of Delroit? Well, now it's $1,584.00. And all
you had to do to get that additional $584.00 was wait.
Of course, if you'd rather pretend it's four years from now, or
two and a half, or even just one, we can show you plans that still will
turn your money into more than you might have thought possible.
And remember, too, that you can have certificate savings accounts
in addition to your regular savings account (which earns 5 1/4%
per year daily interest, paid and compounded quarterly). In fact,
that's how many people get the money to open a certificate
savings account. They save for it.
What's more, at First Federal, certificate savings accounts can
entitle you to a number of special services, many not
available anywhere else. We think you should know about these
things because we know that money is important for you.

For the next year, the
TAU team. which includes
Dr. IVIeir Maidav and Sha-
lom Elkin, in cooperation
with teams from the U.S..
Naval Laboratory, the Uni-
versity of Maryland and
Johns Hopkins University,
will use the TAU computer
to gather and analyse the
data transmitted from the
satellite.
The American Council for
Judaism, an anti-Zionist or-
ganization, was founded in
1942 by a group of Reform
rabbis to protest a resolu-
tion of the Central Confer-
ence of American Rabbis,
which supported the estab-
lishing of a Jewish army in
Palestine.
So don't wait to find out.
We know what money is for.
