Tuesday Telethon to Be Vital Conclusion of 1982 AJCampaign

The Allied Jewish Campaign will have a telethon Tuesday to reach 3,000 people who
have not yet made their 1982 Campaign pledge.
The importance of this final effort in raising the remaining $2 million of the
Campaign's $19.1 million goal was stressed recently by General Chairman Jay M. Kogan
and Joel D. Tauber. The $19.1 million figure represents less than a two percent increase
over last year's $18.8 million total and is a bottom-line figure for meeting growing
demands on the Campaign's local, national and overseas beneficiaries.

According to Tauber, there is a vital need for increased support to the local

social service agencies which have been affected by decreased government
funding during a period of increased demand for services resulting from grow-
ing unemployment and economic hardship. Tauber cautioned that the com-
munity's commitments may be in jeopardy if the Campaign goal is not reached.

Campaign leaders have applauded the community for its response in raising $17.1
million in pledges during a critical economic period. Kogan stated that Detroit has
always been in the forefront in meeting the humanitarian needs of fellow Jews here and
overseas.

the PLO's vast arsenal of weapons and ammunition in Lebanon is being used against Israel, in
order to realize the aims of these terrorists. No sovereign state can permit such a situation to
develop on its border.
"Israel's action is being taken in full compliance with international law, in the
exercise of the inherent right of self-defense which is one of the fundamental rights of
the sovereign states. It is also being taken in full conformity with the United Nations
Charter which, in Article 51, reaffirms the right of self-defense for all member-states.
"Terrorism activity against Israel and its population has increased, with repeated and
serious breaches of the cease-fire, including the shelling of towns and villages in northern
Galilee, infiltration into Israel via Jordan, the planting of explosives in towns and villages
within Israel, and attacks on Jewish and Israeli targets abroad — all aimed at causing
maximum injury and bloodshed to the civilian population, men, women and children. The
attempt on the life of Shlomo Argov, Israel's Ambassador in London, on June 3 was the
culmination of this phase of stepped-up terrorist activities against Israel.

Historic Zionist Call to Educated Jew

By JUSTICE LOUIS D. BRANDEIS

(Editor's note: This essay, "Call to the Educated
Jew," was reprinted in 1936 as a special pamphlet by the
Avukah Society, the youth branch of the Zionist Organ-
ization of America, on the occasion of the 80th birthday
of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis. The
original address was delivered by Brandeis to the Men-
ora Conference at Harvard University in 1914.)

While I was in Cleveland a few weeks ago,,a young man
who has won distinction on the bench told me this incident
from his early life. He was born in a little village of Western
Russia where the opportunities for schooling were meager.

secondary schools and good high schools; but the Russian law
limited the percentage of Jewish pupils in any school.
The boy's parents lacked the means to pay for private
tuition. He had neither relative nor friend in the city. But soon
three men were found who volunteered to give him instruc-
tion. None of them was a teacher by profession. One was a
newspaper man; another was a chemist; the third, as I recall,
was a tradesman; all were educated men. And throughout five
long years these men took from their leisure the time neces-
sary to give a stranger an education.

The three men of Bialystok realized that education was
not a thing of one's own to do with what one pleases — that it
was not a personal privilege to be merely enjoyed by the
possessor — but a precious treasure transmitted; a sacred
trust to be held, used and enjoyed, and if possible strengthened
— then passed on to others upon the same trust.

Yet the treasure which these three men held and
which the boy received in trust was much more than
education. It included that combination of qualities
which enabled and impelled these three men to give, and
the boy to seek and to acquire, an education.

These qualities embrace: first, intellectual capacity; sec-
ond, an appreciation of the value of education; third, indomit-
able will; fourth, capacity for hard work. It was these qualities
which enabled the lad, not only to acquire but to so utilize an
education that, coming to America, ignorant of our language
and of our institutions he attained in comparatively few years
the important office he has so honorably filled.
Whence comes this combination of qualities of mind, body
and character? These are qualities with which every one of us
is familiar, singly and in combination; which you find in
friends and relatives; and whilch others doubtless discover in
you. They are qualities possessed by most Jews who have
