Concerns Are Listed for ZOA Convention
NEW YORK — On the
eve of its annual conven-
tion, which began Wednes-
day in Washington, the na-
tional executive director of
the . 130,000-member
Zionist Organization of
America, Leon Illitovich,
has urged the ZOA to con-
sider several major areas of
2ionist concern, foremost
among them:
Religious Pluralism in Is-
rael; The intricate issue of
interdependence in policy
and action between Israel
and the Diaspora, especially
American Jewry; The prob-
lem of "Noshrim" (Russian
Jewish immigrants who fail
to go to Israel) and the role
played in this tragic de-
velopment by some non-
Zionist Jewish organiza-
tions that help them;
Aliya as a central task in
the order of ZOA priorities;
A critical evaluation of Is-
rael's absorption processes
of new immigrants, with a
view Of finding radically
new solutions so that Israel
is not deprived of the enor-
mous potential of human
resources, so vital to its fu-
ture, which are concen-
trated in the countries of the
free world and, in the first
place, in the United States,
The state of the Zionist
movement in America
and a clear cut policy
with regard to the Ameri-
can Zionist Federation,
as presently constituted,
bearing in mind the inde-
pendence of the ZOA in
the context of ideological
diversity that char-_
acterized the Zionist
movement.
Ilutovich characterized
the period since the 80th
ZOA convention, held in Is-
rael in July 1977, as a
"tumultuous year — un-
precedented in many ways."
He noted that the previous
ZOA convention convened
only a few weeks after Israel
elected a Likud-led gov-
ernment, "bringing to
power the proponents of a
centrist liberal democracy
and a free enterprise system
as conceived by General
Zionists over the decades.
"No matter what may
happen on Israel's political
scene in the future,"
Ilutovich noted that "the
May 1977, Knesset elec-
LEON ILUTOVICH
tions marked a watershed
in Israel's history and in the
Zionist movement."
Turning to the interna-
tional scene, Ilutovich says
the Camp David summit
"may become an event of
historic significance, pro-
vided it leads to a resump-
tion of direct negotiations
between Israel and Egypt,
which Sadat abruptly broke
off last January. The sum-
mit will be a test of Egypt's
readiness to match Israel's
concessions and of the true
intentions of the United
States Government.
"As the public and the
media focus on Camp
David and Washington,"
Ilutovich said, "let the
convention be a demon-
stration of solidarity and
an outpouring of support
for the government and
people of Israel, in their
steadfast resistance to
capitulation in the face of
Arab aggressive designs
and the attitude of a
Washington administra
tion that has consis
tently shifted gears
tilted towards the
Arabs."
Ilutovich pointed out that
this ZOA convention "is the
last gathering of the highest
ZOA legislative assembly
on an annual basis, in ac-
cordance with a constitu-
tional amendment, adopted
by the 79th convention in
September 1976, ZOA con-
ventions will meet bi-
ennially from now on.
"Leadership conferences
alternating with biennial
conventions, not burdened
with the usual convention
trappings, ought to give us
an opportunity for in-depth
deliberations, seeking
long-range solutions for
ideological, programmatic,
organizational and finan-
cial problems," he said.

Finance your home insulation through Detroit Edison.
(Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.)
A charming snow scene in a
glass paperweight. In the old
days it was the favorite posses-
sion of many a little girl or boy.
But the reality of winter
in southeastern Michigan can
be harsh—bringing high
heating bills.
Before another cold, snowy
winter, make sure your home is
properly insulated. It's the
most important single thing you
can do to keep heating bills
down. And help save energy.
Detroit Edison's Home
Insulation Finance Plan is
designed to help. First, by
providing a list of participating
contractors. Second, with con-
venient financing.
Under the plan, you can
arrange to have insulation
installed anywhere it's needed —
wherever valuable heat might
escape into the cold winter air.
If you're a residential
customer with legal title to your
home and an acceptable credit
rating, you can take advantage
of Detroit Edison's Home
Insulation Finance Plan. Call
or stop in at any Detroit Edison
Customer Office for details.
Then when winter comes,
sit back and say —"let it snow,
let it snow, let it snow:"
Save where it really counts.
The power is in your hands.

TORONTO (JTA) — The
Canadian Jewish Congress
(CJC) has protested against
the scheduling of 17 federal
by-elections on Oct. 16,
coinciding with the Sukkot
holiday.
In a telegram to Premier
Pierre Elliott Trudeau,
David Satok, chairman of
the CJC national executive,
and Alan Rose, executive
vice president of the CJC,
said the action by the fed-
eral government was "in-
sensitive to the political and
religious rights of the
Jewish community" and
urged "that consideration
be given to a different date."
The telegram noted that
the CJC had provided the
Prime Minister's Office
with advance notice of all
Jewish holidays in 1978. It
said that the scheduling of
by-elections on a Jewish
religious holiday would
• "impose civil disability on
Jewish voters in ridings
(districts) concerned in that
they will be unable to par-
ticipate in the election proc-
ess on voting day. This disa-
bility is a denial of a basic
right," the message said.
By-elections will be held
in at least two districts with
large Jewish populations —
Westmount in Montreal
and Eglinton-Lawrence in
Toronto
At evening home is the
best place foman.
