Another element in the joint agenda, Citrin said, "are our deep concerns about anti-Semitism and relationships here in North America and world-wide." The strength of the North American Jewish commu- nity has in no small part been due to the work of the communal federations in organizing and in- stitutionalizing "an incom- parable network for human services for our own people and for the disadvantaged of this continent and beyond," Citrin said. To show how well the Federations system has done, Citrin offered some data — 1932 versus 1982. "As a base line reference," he said, in 1932, the Jewish population in North America was 4,380,000; in 1982, 6,263,000, an increase • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • INFLATION BITE YOUR BUDGET? • • • • Our controlled cleaning processes can help • • • • you stretch it — can help stretch it by • • • • prolonging the life of your existing draperies. • • • DRAPERIES • BEDSPREADS • BLANKETS • • • • • (Cleaned or Laundered) • • • WINDOW SHADES • LAMPSHADES • PILLOWS • • VENETIAN BLINDS (Cleaned, retaped & re-corded) • • • • ANY OTHER ITEMS YOU MAY HAVE — IF IT CAN BE • • • CLEANED, WE'LL CLEAN IT AND CLEAN IT PROPERLY • • • • • If you're moving we can remake and re-install • • • • OW your existing draperies to fit another window or O` room.

In 1932, there were 125 federations although the majority of these were welfare funds only and not full-fledged federations. Today, there are 200 full-fledged federa- tions in North America. Continuing, Citrin pointed out that there were 3,500 synagogues in North America in 1932 and 5,400 today; 2,000 Jewish schools in 1932 and 2,500 today. Within those numbers, there were 12 day schools in 1932, compared to 600 to- day; student enrollment numbered 200,000 in 1932, compared to 360,000 today. In 1932, Citrin said, Jews in North America raised $17 million in their. annual campaign; in 1982, Jews in North America will have raised through Federation campaigns, including Project Renewal, $640 million. Starting from an organization of 13 federa- tions in 1932, it has grown to 200 federations today. What of the next 50 years? Citrin asked what will be the North American agenda and how will it be implemented? The first priority on the agenda of total concerns is Jewish education, Citrin said. "Without Jewish edu- cation, there is no Jewish people," he observed. Another priority on the agenda of Jewish concerns, Citrin said, is the relation- ship between North Ameri- can Jewry and Israel once "true and enduring peace" has been established in that land. "Think about the pos- sibilities of our understand- ing and working with each other in the context of peace and not war," he told the delegates. "First, of course, to save the threatened Jewish communities of the world wherever they now are or might be in the future — Ethiopia, Syria, Soviet Russia ..."

NEW YORK — The American Jewish commu- nity today is "more isolated, more self-centered, and more particularistic," ac- cording to Albert Vorspan, vice president of the Union of American Hebrew Con- gregations (UAHC), in the current issue of Reform Judaism. In "A Hard Look at Jewish Leadership: 1948- 1982," Vorspan contends that "Israel and Soviet Jewry have become the only truly Jewish issues in our social action firmament. "Jews — who have always condemned single-issue group§ like the anti- abortion fanatics and gun nuts — now appear, to the non-Jew and sometimes even to themselves, as a single-issue community," he writes. Amid all the changes in social action activities, Vor- span says, "one reality has remained. The Reform movement is still at the cut- ting edge within the Jewish community."
