KAPLAN and Co. ✓ • IMPORTER AND CUTTERS OF FINE DIAMONDS • 30555 Southfield, Suite 100 645-9200 NEW YORK (JTA)—Pre- mier Menachem Begin of Israel disclosed that he had invited the leaders of Syria and Jordan to join with Israel and Egypt in seeking an overall Middle East settlement. In a recorded telephone message to some 1500 American Jewish commu- nity leaders at the closing banquet session Saturday night of the United Jewish Appeal's annual national conference held at the Hil- ton Hotel, Begin also declared that "we shall con- duct negotiations face-to- face with the Egyptian dele- gation in Cairo." There will, he added, be "other meet- ings on various levels, with one aim, to bring an end to all the wars between us and the Arabs." Leonard R. Strelitz, UJA general chairman, who pre- sided at the banquet ses- sion, said the UJA 1978 cam- paign goal of $700 million represented a substantial increase over the pledge totals of previous campaigns. The keynote address at the banquet was delivered by Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan (D-NY) who hailed Sadat's visit to Jerusalem as a breakthrough. He said Sadat took "the great gamble" of seeking peace on his own because be had seen that U.S. policy in seeking the Soviet Union's cooperation in the peace- making process made his own position untenable. . Moynihan denounced the U.S.-Soviet joint declaration of Oct. 1 as a "document clearly drafted by the Soviets" . and "we were informed, in effect, that they were being asked by us to return to the. Middle East, to act in effect a's a partner in bringing about or endorcing a settlement there." The banquet session cli- rnaxed three days of work- shops, seminars and study sessions reviewing a full range of issues confronting Jews in the world today and exploring problems and progress in humanitarian programs in Israel, the United States and through- out the world funded through UJA community campaigns. Among the 'highlights was the fifth annual Louis A. Pincus Memorial Lecture, delivered by Abba Eban, former Foreign Minister of Israel. The conference began on Thursday with the UJA annual inaugural dinner, a major fund-raising meeting at which a total of $13.9 mil- lion in pledges were made for the 1978 campaign. This represents a 25 percent increase over pledges from the same contributors last year. Ariel Sharon, -Israel's Minister of Agriculture, tol participants: "If pea comes, we will need th continuing support of the American Jewish commu- nity to help make Israel a special place, a model state in the world." Dulzin Asks U.S. Jews for More Aid NEW YORK (JTA)—Leon Dulzin, Jewish Agency treasurer, called upon American Jewry for increased effort to help Israel meet the challenge of social justice and equality. He said that, together with peace, closing the social gap in Israel is the most impor- tant task facing Israel and the Jewish people today. Addressing more than 300 Jewish leaders at the United Israel Appeal (UIA) annual luncheon meeting on Friday, Dulzin noted that presently there are more than 40,000 Israeli families, who live "in almost sub-- human conditions." The Israeli government, he,said, is giving special attention to -- solving the problem but the help of American Jewry is needed to overcome the challenge. - According to Duizin, a five-year plan involving $1.2 billion to solve Israel's acute social ailments is under way, but this requires "special efforts" if the chal- lenge is to be met. "You have done a lot Iasi year, but not enough," Dulzin told the audience. "I hope you will do more this year." Energy Problems You're one of a kind .. . So are we. Entrepreneur.
