CJF Echoes Jewish Concerns
(Continued from Page 1)
need to assure help for
Jewish emigres from the
Soviet Union and the con-
cerns that make Israel the
major beneficiary in Jewish
philanthropy. He linked the
Project Renewal of the
United Jewish Appeal with
the duties to be fulfilled by
American Jewry, thus por-
traying a total picture of
Jewish obligations to fellow
verywhere.
major assembly ad-
dress, Irwin Field, National
chairman of the UJA, dealt
in greater length with the
Project Renewal plans
which, he asserted, are
meeting with a generous re-
sponse.
Morton Mandel of Cleve-
land was elected CJF
president to succeed
Hoffberger.
Martin Citron of Detroit
was elected a national CJF
vice president.
Citrin, president of De-
troit's Jewish Welfare
Federation, presided at
the closing session of the
assembly at which Israel
Ambassador to the U.S.
Simha Dinitz was the
principal speaker.
There were more than
100 workshops dealing with
the variety of subjects re-
lated to CJF interests and
the Greater Detroit delega-
tion and representatives
from Flint and other Michi-
gan communities were
active in the deliberations.
Chairing some of the ses-
sions were members of the
Detroit delegation, includ-
ing George Zeltzer, Mandel
Berman, Lawrence Jackier,
Caroline Greenberg and
Stanley Frankel.

assembly included Mr. and
Mrs. Berman, Mr. and Mrs.

Hillel Moses was one of 26
recipients of community
rabbinical awards pre-
sented at the assembly.
It was announced that the
1979 CJF general assembly
will be held in Montreal and
the 1980 sessions in Detroit.
The 1978 Shroder Awards
for outstanding community
services were presented to
the Jewish Community
Services of Long Island as
well as the Jewish federa-
tions of New York, Mil-
waukee, Fort Wayne and
Louisville.
During the discussions,
delegates expressed concern
that the Carter Administra-
tion may endanger the Mid-
dle East peace prospects if it
pushes too fast.to complete
the peace treaty being
hammered out by Egyptian
and Israeli delegations in
Washington; and if the Ad-
ministration pressures
them to write an accord
which links Israeli with-
drawal from Sinai with
other issues, such as the
West Bank, Jerusalem or
the Palestinian question.
At the same time, notes of
caution were sounded
against engaging in
rhetoric and exagerating
every word and move by the
Administration as anti-
Israel.
The sharpest note of
caution about the Ad-
ministration's role in the
treaty negotiations came
from Max Fisher, former
CJF president and pre-
sently chairman of the
Board of Governors of
the Jewish Agency, who
had a prominent role in
the Nixon and Ford Ad-
ministrations. Fisher
urged President Carter
to refrain from rushing a
comprehensive peace
treaty and not to try to
negotiate for King Hus-
sein of Jordan or for
President Anwar Sadat
of Egypt.
"If he would just let all the
parties settle down and let
the process evolve, things
would move very rapidly
toward peace," Fisher said.
Edward Sanders, senior
advisor to President Carter
and his liaison with the
Jewish community, re-
sponded by noting that Car-
ter's intervention into the
peace process had enabled
both sides to keep going and
that without Carter, there
would have been no Camp
David summit conference.
Some panelists were de-
eply concerned with what
they saw as the Carter Ad-
ministration's shift toward
seeking a comprehensive
Mideast settlement through
a linkage of issues. Some
were also concerned that
the Administration might
be reversing its attitude on
a number of vital issues af-
fecting Israel. One such
shift cited was the issue of
Jerusalem.
During an earlier
speech, Irwin Field
focussed on Project Re-
newal. "What is at stake,"
he said, the quaality of
life of 300,000 Israelis,
200,000 of them chil-
dren."
The challenge for North
American Jewry, he said, is
equally exciting in the con-
text of changing realities in
the last generation. The
changes, Field noted, are in
that the Jews have moved
from an immigrant back-
ground living as a close-knit
central city urban group to
suburbanites of looser al-
liances; from one of the
youngest immigrant groups
to an expanded elderly
population; from being
oriented to an erosion of
that strength.
He reported that $53 mil-
lion has so far been pledged
for the regular UJA
national 1979 campaign.
