THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 36 Friday, April 23, 1982 `Silence' on Falashas Deplored NEW YORK (JTA) — Noting that 40 years ago the international community, "including most" of the Jewish world, "closed its eyes and ears" to the Nazi slaughter of European Jewry, a leading activist in the efforts to rescue Ethio- pian Jewry from oppressive conditions and treatment charged that once again there exists an "almost uni- versal silence." "With a few notable ex- ceptions, Jewish organiza- tions and Jewish leaders have placed the cause of Ethiopian Jewry near the bottom of their list of priorities, and have re- mained silent," Menahem Rosensaft, chairman of the International Network of Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, told some 300 people attending a rally last weekend to bring the plight of Ethiopian Jewry to the "public con- sciousness." Held at the Lincoln Synagogue here, the rally was sponsored by the Network. "The government of the United States pleads helplessness, and is si- lent. The United Nations is too busy defaming Is- rael to concern itself with the fate of persecuted Jews ..." Rosenst de- clared. He added: "Only the state of Israel exists as a refuge for the Jews of • • • THE HYATT COCKTAIL PLAYHOUSE • • • • • • • • • (Formerly DB s At The Hyatt Regency Hotel) • Presents - Great Hits of the American Musical Theatre" • • • Premiering with the 2 hr.

Thousands have been killed, many sold into slavery and an esti- mated 7,000 are refugees, according to reports. Israel COL Up Again TEL AVIV (JTA) — An average urban family needs 13,000 shekels ($750) a month to maintain its standard of living, com- pared to 3,680 shekels in 1980, according to figures released last week by the Central Bureau of Statis- tics. The bureau reported that the cost of living index rose COCKTAILS ONLY • Dining available at all 3 Hyatt Restaurants •• • • • • • • • • .• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • by 5.1 percent during March, the last month of fis- cal year 1981-1982. The monthly increase brought the total for the fiscal year to 104 percent, a little above Finance Minister Yoram Aridor's hoped for two-digit inflation target. During the first three months of the calendar year the cost of living index rose by 20.3 percent, for an an- nual average rate of 112 percent. Manufacturers and trade union representatives signed an agreement for payment of a 16.6 percent increase on monthly salaries for April. The in- crease is calculated at 80 percent of the cost of living increase. The dews of evening are tears of the sky for the loss of the sun. GREEKTOWN COMES TO SOUTHFIELD!
