JERUSALEM - (JTA) -
Why would 34,000 non-
Jews from all over the world
engage in extensive volun-
tary informational efforts to
improve Israel's image
abroad?
According to the 46 par-
ticipants of the Third Inter-
national Conference of
Friendship Leagues with
Israel, held in Jerusalem
last month, the answer is
everything from a sincere
admiration for the Israeli
people. to a belief that Is-
rael's survival is vital to the
interests of democratic na-
tions everywhere.
The Israel Friendship
League, 90 percent of
whose members are not
Jewish, is a non-profit

NEW YORK (JTA) -
The World Zionist Organ-
ization is developing a new
aliya program for the 1980s
to attract American and
Canadian Jews.
Rabbi Charles Weinberg,
adviser to Rafael Kotlowitz,
head of the WZO's Immigra-
tion and Absorption De-
partment, was in New York
to promote the new pro-
gram, which is scheduled to
be launched late this fall.
Weinberg explained, in
an interview with the
Jewish Telegraphic
Agency, that his group has
the full support of the Is-
raeli government which is
cooperating with the WZO's
development of a computer
system. The computer will
aid WZO's efforts to identify
the needs in Israel.
Weinberg was ques-
tioned about the housing
shortage facing new im-
migrants in Israel. "By
the time the program gets
going, the housing prob-
lems should be resolved,"
he said. He added that
programs are being
readied to provide rental
housing for the new
settlers by the mid 1980s.
He also expressed concern
that Soviet and Iranian
JeWs coming to the U.S. are
rapidly assimilated in the
American culture.
"Encouraged to come to the
United States, these Jews
would only add to the statis-
tics of assimilation," he
said.
Weinberg was a rabbi in
the Boston area for 25 years
before moving to Israel 31/2
years ago. He is a former
president of the Rabbinical
Council of America, the Or-
thodox rabbinic organiza-
tion.
organization established
to enhance Israel's image
abroad.
Members, of different
League branches "are not a
homogeneous group. But
they are all highly aware of
developments in Israel,
most are very intelligent,
and all are agreed on the
principle of the secure
existence of the State. They
comprise a professional
cross-section which in-
cludes Parliament mem-
bers, trade union leaders
academicians and others
"The involvement
these people in pro-Israel
activities is no less than
that of the Jews in their re-
spective countries, accord-
ing to Nacbum Schultz, di-
rector of the World Zionist
Organization's external re-
lations department, under
whose auspices the confer-
ence was organized.
One fact consistently
emerged from Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency interviews
conducted with the dele-
gates: Israel can count
many friends among the
world's non-Jewish popula-
tion, regardlesg of the offi-
cial positions assumed by
the various governments.
