Rothberg reported that despite severe recession and record unemployment, the The Young Women of Jewish EREV National Fund CHAPTER Cordially Invite You To Attend A TU 11: A ttIVAT I When Israelis and Jews Worldwide Plant Trees • Saturday / January 29, 1983 / 8:00 PM Congregation BETH ACHIM 21100W. 12 Mile Southfield 4114. ch`"' 5 SHEKINAH SINGERS Shekinah Singers GALAI HARUACH Detroit's Israeli Dance Troop Wine and Special Holiday Treats F FOR RESERVATIONS AND INFORMATION PHONE 557-6644 JEWISH NATIONAL FUND 27308 SOUTHFIELD SOUTHFIELD, MI 48076 • proceeds of the Israel Bond Organization amounted to $502,144,500 in 1982 as against $432,958,900 for the previous year. All pro- ceeds from the Israel Bond program flow into the de- velopment budget of the state of Israel to help fi- nance its economic growth. Rothberg said that the in- creased results of 1982 - re- flected "the unbroken sol- idarity of the Jewish com- munity with the people of Israel." While there was criticism of Israel in some quarters as a result of the war in Lebanon, in his opin- ion "it did not have a nega- tive impact on bond sales. On the contrary, the criti- cism stimulated wider re- sponse in many circles to Is- rael's economic needs." Another major factor in the outcome for 1982 was the record results in syna- gogues and temples during the special High Holy Day effort conducted under the leadership of the organiza- tion's National Rabbinic Cabinet headed by Rabbi Leon Kronish of Miami, Rothberg said. Change in Law Favors Sephardi Entertainment by the of Milwaukee and and aliya for the Michi- gan Region, will be the specialist for those people contemplating emigrating to Israel or in- terested in pursuing short-term experiences which might eventually lead to aliya. Aliza Slatis, president of the Detroit Chug Aliya, a group of people committed to making aliya in the im- mediate future, will discuss how she decided to make aliya, which will be this June with her family. Both she and Harmon Bayer, president of Association of Parents of Americans in Is- rael, will be available at the workshop to discuss aliya from an oleh's and a par- ent's perspective. There will be an audio- visual presentation of De- troiters in Israel. Slides of Detroiters from every major area of Israel, from different professions and Judaic perspectives will be coordi- nated with their recorded comments of their aliya ex- perience. Galai Haruach JOIN US AND PLANT A TREE MADRID (ZINS) — A proposal that has already passed the lower half of the Spanish legislature would give Jews of Sephardi origin special status in applying for Spanish citizenship. The propbsed law stipu- lates that persons from sev- eral areas, including Sephardic Jews, would need to be Spanish residents for only two years in order to apply for citizenship. Pre- sent law stipulates a 10- year residency for all naturalized citizens. The change in the law is regarded as an act of repat- riation for the ouster of Jews from Spain in 1492. An artistic rendering in wood, formica and plexig- lass of the state of Israel, locating Detroit olim and designed by Russ Pietowski, will be displayed in the lobby. Guests can identify friends' and relatives' names and locations on the motorized, revolving scrolls on the map. A ceremony will hono/' a group of 20 Detroiters who will be making aliya within the year. Caricatures for your party By SAM FIELD Coll 399-1320 !!. THE LAND OF ISRAEL The Jews as a nation and a people have an unbroken historical, theological, literary and emotional connection to the Land of Israel that has endured for 3,500 years .. . Driven from their land and scat- tered to the winds, the Jews never ceased to assert their right and title to the Land of Israel . . . 3 It was this longing and dream of return that made possible the survival of the Jewish people — even though dis- persed to the far corners of the earth, vic- tims of mass slaughter in Crusades, pog- roms, inquisitions, blood libels and the Holocaust .. . Despite all the invasions, con- quests and devastations, Jews never ceased living in Israel. Jews stayed during all the centuries sustained by a faith that they were the caretakers, the guardians of the land that one day would be restored to all the Jewish people.
