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.
