Iranian Jews
Aid Campaign

LOS ANGELES (JTA) ---
Representatives of three
organizations representing
Iranian Jews who have set-
tled in the Los Angeles area
have made a combined gift
of $50,000 to the 1983
United Jewish Welfare
Fund campaign of the
Jewish Federation Council.
Ted Kanner, federation
executive vice president,
said $25,000 had been given
by the Iranian Jewish Cul-
tural Organization of
California; $15;000 came
from the Iranian Nessah Is-
rael Congregation, and
$10,000 was given by the
Valley Iranian Jewish Cen-
ter.
