peal national vice chairman
since 1979 and chairman of
its Overseas Programs De-
partment since 1981, has
been appointed chairman of
the fall President's Mission

2-7.
The President's Mission
is one of seven events in the
UJA/ community "Liftoff '84
Program," designed specifi-
cally to elicit major gifts
early in the 1984 campaign.
The five previous
President's Missions have
required a $10,000
minimum gift. This mis-
sion, which has an $18,000
minimum,, was created at
the request of community
leaders who believe many
contributors are ready to
upgrade their $10,000
commitments.

Pope Innocent IV, in
1247, issued an edict
against the spreading of the
blood accusation libel.
There appeared to be a
consensus among many
of the AJSS students that
they encountered no hos-
tility from local residents
nor signs of anti-
Semitism. In fact, when
questioned specifically
on the local residents'
concerns, the response
appeared unanimous
that the events in the
Middle East with regard
to Israel were over-
shadowed by a greater
concern for local de-
velopments. In McAllen,
it was noted, the domin-
ant concerns were of de-
velopments in Central
America.
The AJSS is a non-profit
charitable organization de-
signed to provide Jewish
youths and other individu-
als the opportunity to per-
form humanitarian services
as a fulfillment of their reli-
gious beliefs. Young people
are recruited each year to
work on one of the two or
three projects in areas of the
U.S. where lack of money
and labor creates a demand
for services of groups like
the AJSS. The AJSS has
had 77 previous work proj-
ects in 39 different states
and Israel.
