HALPERN , Beth Abraham Hillel Moses , PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM A MESSAGE FROM THE CONGREGATIONAL RABBIS OF DETROIT > , As we approach Rosh Hashana, a time of self-evaluation, we are mindful that wherever we live and whkever our circumstances, all Jews are responsible for each other. Never has that awesome responsibility been demonstrated more dramatically than in recent days and months. Fighting both an implacable foe and an often hostile and distorted media, Israel has stood virtually isolated but for the constant support of the Jewish People. In the aftermath of the war in Lebanon, there is no rejoicing in the homes of Israel. The tragic loss of life has been too staggering, the tremendous costs of mending and rebuilding too financially burdensome to dismiss-in talk of 3, victory. While we sorrow at the enormous toll of pain and suffering involved on all sides in the war, we are thankful that Israel's people on the northern border are at last free from the attacks of PLO terrorists. We share the relief of Israel's Lebanese neighbors, no longer held hostage in their own land by their own brothers. We pray that the New Year will bring with it a renewed civil order and peace among.neighbors. But building a lasting peace will be no easy task. Therefore, at this season of reckoning, we, the congregational rabbis of metropolitan Detroit, call upon every Jew to support to the very best of his or her ability the special Israel Emergency Fund for Israel's human needs. Furthermore, we fervently urge increased commitment to the Allied Jewish Campaign, for other pressures on the Jewish People here and abroad have also increased. Jews in the Soviet Union, in Ethiopia and elsewhere are in an increasingly desperate situation. Fanatical anti-Semitism of both the left and the right has soared dramatically, bringing unease here and physical violence in Europe. The economic hardship that has befallen many of our families and the aged right here at home has meant greater pressure on' our communal agencies supported by the Campaign. New funds must be found to develop critically needed new programs: to_guarantee a quality Jewish education to every Jew, to meet the needs of Jewish singles and others of our community. For all these we urge your support. May our prayers for the peace of Jerusalem and for the Jewish People be matched by our resolve: that we will meet the challenges before us with renewed strength. Be strong! Be strong ! And let us strengthen one another! RABBI JAMES I. GORDON Young Israel of Oak Woods RABBI RICHARD C. HERTZ Temple Beth El RABBI MARTIN D.
