THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

Gala Event Marked Israel's 34th

Several thousand mem- -
bers of the Detroit area
Jewish community cele-
brated Israel's 34th birth-
day on Sunday with a fes-
tive party and parade at the
Southfield Civic Center.
In his welcoming remarks
to the audience, event
chairman Michael Feldman
said the celebration helped
to unite the Jewish com-
munity as more than 30
organizations participated
in the event. "We must
commit ourselves to- the
creative survival of the
state of Israel," he said, and
he thanked the city of
Southfield for its help in
hosting the event.
Congressman William
Brodhead (D-17th District)
gave the keynote address.
In a brief speech he pro-
claimed, "It is not Israel's 34
years that count, but the
Jewish people's 5,742 years
of tradition and history that
count."
He said the victims of
the Holocaust did- not
have a land to call their
own or a Jewish army to
defend them. "Israel is
part of the debt that the
whole world owes for the
Holocaust."
He said the U.S. must
make it clear that it is to-
tally committed to Israel.
"We must stop the insane
policy of selling arms here
and there and everywhere
in the Middle East.
"We must work together
for peace. I pledge to do ev-
erything in my power to
stop these arms sales."
He added, "We need peace
for the sake of Israel; peace
for the sake of the Arabs;
peace for the sake of the
whole world."
