Best Rent in Town: RAGTIME **** SHOOT THE MOON **** THE BORDER Humanists Plan JNF Woodland JDC Effort Grows on Behalf of Lebanese the Israeli advance into Lebanon on June 6 for it to become apparent that the PLO technique of shielding themselves with the bodies of innocent Lebanese and their fellow Palestinians would result in great num- bers of civilian casualties, as well as large-scale de- struction of property. Despite Israeli efforts to minimize the number of civilians affected the PLO terrorists forced a different kind of a battle than any Is- rael has ever known. The long-suffering people of Lebanon were its primary victims. As the result became ap- parent, American Jews joined the people of Israel and Americans of all religi- ous persuasions in respond- ing to the acute humanita- rian needs of the Lebanese civilians. This latest bitter battle capped nearly a de- cade of civil and religious wars. While no accurate fi- gures on the number of homeless exist as of this writing, it is clear that many of them had fled the anarchy and terror of south Lebanon during earlier times and at the first pause in the fighting had begun to return to rebuild their homes. On June 17, the Ameri- can Jewish community turned to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), "The Joint" as it is known affec- tionately around world. Fol- lowing consultations with a broad range of organiza- tions representink the philanthropic, fraternal, clerical and defense agen- cies of the American Jewish community, JDC's presi- dent, Henry Taub, an- nounced a commitment of $100,000 as an "immediate emergency contribution to Lebanese relief." The efforts of JDC, ac- cording to its executive vice president, Ralph Goldman would be coordinated with -- ---1- VIDEO PLUS CANNERY ROW ROLLOVER **** **** True Confessions PERSONAL BEST *.*** **** Sharky's Machine Some Kind of Hero $35 Membership Fee NEW OVERNIGHT RATES $2.50 Open _7 Days 12 Mile Road at Evergreen 569E2330 the humanitarian efforts of the U.S. and of Israel. In addition, JDC followed the practice established in its handling of similar non- sectarian programs such as Cambodian refugees in Thailand and victims of the 1980 earthquakes in Italy and opened its mailbox, (P.O. Box 2287, New York, N.Y. 10163) to donations. In this way it let the Jewish community and the general public, determine with their donations, the final dimen- sions of the JDC commit- ment. Within two weeks the JDC pledge of $100,000 had been fully covered by earmarked contributions and as of this writing money was still being re- ceived. JDC has been able to fund its Lebanon activities with donations specifically re- ceived for that purpose, without requiring it to take funds from any of its con- tinuing programs. JDC has a 1982 regular budget of $40.3 million which it devotes to the re- , gcue, relief and rehabilita- tion of Jews and Jewish communities in more than 30 nations. Its Lebanon effort is coor- dinated by Dr. Samuel Halperin, an expert in education and a former de- puty secretary of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. During the first week of July, Halperin headed a JDC team which trans- ported two five-truck convoys of supplies and delivered them to offi- cials of the Lebanese government. - The JDC staff reports con- firmed that their work in Lebanon had the complete Holocaust Book Is Joint Venture NEW YORK — Docu- ments tracing the evolution of the Nazi Holocaust and Jewish response and reisis- tance in Germany, Austria, Poland and the Soviet Union have been translated into English and published by Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial and re- search center in Israel, in cooperation with the Anti- Defamation League of Bnai Brith and Ktav Publishing House. The 504-page book "Documents on the Holocaust, Selected Sources on the Destruction of the Jews of Germany and Au- stria, Poland, and the Soviet Union," is available in the United States through the ADL. WJC Guide NEW YORK (JTA) — The World Jewish Congress has produced a study guide specifically developed to help the layman trace his or her Jewish roots. The study kit, "My Parents' House," was produced by the WJC cultural department and the Center for Programm- ing of the World Zionist Organization. cooperation of both the Is- raeli and Lebanese au- thorities. . The JDC relief shipments included 3,000 foam rubber mattresses, 500 cartons of kerosene cooking stoves, pots, pans and eating uten- sils as well as 1,000 gallons of kerosene,. Also trans- ported to Lebanon by JDC were blankets, baby food and powdered milk donated by other agencies and trucked into Lebanon by JDC from Ben-Gurion Air- port in Israel. All of the JDC's current activities are in the Tyre and Sidon areas of Lebanon. The donations received by JDC have come from a broad representation of American Jewry. The largest single contribu- tion came from Cong. Emanu-El of New York and totaled $35,000. In the case of the Cambo- rian refugees, JDC's initial commitment was for $30,000 though the public response eventually ex- ceeded $350,000. It is too soon to make any accurate projections on the amounts that will be available for Lebanese relief, but it seems posible that it will exceed the sum available for Cambodian relief. NEW YORK — The Society for Humanistic Judaism will inaugurate its 2,000-tree woodland project in Israel in January with ceremonies at the Birming- ham Temple in Farmington Hills. The society's woodland is planned for the Lahav For- est, the only existing Jewish National Fund forest in the Negev Desert. The woodland will be,_ augurated on Jan. 29, which is Tu b'Shevat.
