.61.41Wfoarrior-, Friday, March 26, 1982, 15 THE DETROIT,. JEWISH, NEWS To Choose Life .. . Who are the people of the Exodus? •Ethiopia, in Syria, in parts of Latin America and wherever a Jewish heart beats, our brothers and sisters seek to live as Jews without fear. They, too, have made the choice, alone but for us. • What is it that has carried us through centuries of wandering, centuries of oppression and then, when others would have failed, summoned up our courage to confront tyranny, to found a nation, to shelter the homeless and feed the hungry? Here in Detroit, where so many are in need of services , — the aged, the infirm, the disadvantaged — yet another choice was made: the choice as a Jewish community to provide social and educational services to the best of our ability despite inflation and recession. We are a people with the courage to make choices. At this season, as we prepare to re-enact the ancient scenario of Passover, we are struck by many contemporary parallels, challenges that require us to make choices out of traditional concern and strength. In each of these instances, we have chosen those options that help ensure our people's survival. But to fulfill those options takes the commitment of each of us. In Israel, whose people know only too well the costs of defense, they chose the financial burdens of peace. We chose to help them. Therefore, we, the Rabbis of Metropolitan Detroit, call upon the members of our congregations and upon every • Jew, to make his or her best contribution to the 1982 Allied Jewish Campaign-Israel Emergency Fund. To dO so — for you, your family and your community — is to choose life.
