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.

Detroi t Edison 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. - 4175.11111111M1.111211111MT,ANIIIM* JEWISH NATIONAL FUND OP "1" 27308 Southfield Rd. 557-6644 r y Southfield, Mich. 48076 Sun.
