THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

While the struggle of Israel's people for the
right to live in peace goes on this is what the
women, children and elderly, left behind in
the Project Renewal neighborhoods and
in the battered settlements and develop-
ment towns of the Galilee, are doing:
•Uri Bar-On, 13, goes from door to door collecting
books, toys, games and art supplies to send to child-
ren his age in a neighboring town still stunned by
the heavy barrage of terrorist shells that precipi-
tated that action in Lebanon. Their youth
center— built by the Jewish Agency with funds from
American Jewish community UJA campaigns— was badly
damaged and most supplies and equipment destroyed.
•Dvora Ranaan, 68, hands over the entire meager savings from her
monthly pension checks to her local council, for repairing the rocket-torn
schoolroom where her 40-year-old daughter and other housewives were learning to
read and write under the Tehila program— maintained with Project Renewal funds
received by the Jewish Agency from American Jewish community UJA campaigns like ours.
•Sarah Wilensky, 37, organizes teams of schoolchildren and volunteers from nearby towns to help
harvest and save fruit crops endangered by the mobilization of all manpower on het kibbutz — one of nearly
500 agricultural settlements established by the Jewish Agency with funds from American Jewish community
appeals like Detroit's Allied Jewish Campaign.
And while they respond by giving, they wait for our response.
As an American immigrant on a kibbutz in the Galilee wrote to
her sister in New York: "We miss you all terribly . . . and we
need to hear from you."
Let them hear from you.
