The words that form the anthem of every new immig-
rant to Israel — All beginnings are hard — have meaning
for all of us on the eve of the New Year.
Our Allied Jewish Campaign theme for 1984 speaks of
renewal — of our spirit and commitment to our fellow
Jews at home and overseas. Renewal is not easy, not for
individuals and not for communities, but it can be achieved
where the will exists.
Thus, as we face a formidable array of challenges —
increasing numbers of our people who are "at risk," like the
aged and the poor; assimilation and ignorance of Jewish
values among our young people; unceasing pressures on
Israel — we must find new answers.
And we can! We are a creative and innovative
people. If you seek proof, look about you. Look at
Project Renewal. Visit Detroit's twin community in
Ramla, where hope has been renewed and dreams
realized.
If we've done it there, we can do it elsewhere. For
example, our Task Force on Services to the non-
institutionalized elderly can come up with new and innova-
tive ways of reaching out to our older citizens, and our
Jewish Community Foundation can further efforts at
bringing college students into the mainstream of Jewish
life by funding a Hillel Foundation pilot project.
We can do it, and we are
doing it.
But every innovation,
every outreach program has
its price. If we are to bring
renewal to our community
in the face of considerable
odds, including our declin-
ing and aging population,
we must exert every fiber of
our communal bein g . We
will have to find new
sources of funding through
an aggressive federated
endowment program. We
will have to set goals — per-
sonal goals — for giving to

paign.
Not long ago, our 1984 Campaign chairman, Jack
Robinson, was in Poland on a United Jewish Appeal study
mission. It was a shattering experience. The land of origin
for so many of us, the land where our Jewish culture was
nurtured so lovingly, lay barren of Jewish life except for a
pitiful remnant.
Out of this, Jack said, emerged a new determina-
tion, a resolve that "For their sake, and for ours, to-
morrow we will be Jewish."
Poland lies behind us. America and Israel lie ahead.
They are the sources of our Jewish future, the flowering of
our creative spirit and commitment.
Let us resolve now to renew those sources with the
collective will and the pride that are the hallmark of this
great community of Detroit.
On behalf of the officers and board of governors of the
Jewish Welfare Federation, I extend every good wish for a
year of happiness — and renewal — to you and your loved
ones.

An article in the August
issue of the Journal of the
California Chiropractic
Association says that seven
chiropractors are now prac-
ticing in Israel despite the
fact that chiropractors are
not recognized in the Jewish
state.
The report is based on a
letter from Dr. Steven
Roffwarg, who recently
made aliya. After _working
for a month with an estab-
lished chiropractor, Dr.
Roffwarg opened his own
practice and was seeing 300
patients per week within
three months.

The first war criminal to
be deported from Canada,
Helmut Rauca, a former
Gestapo officer, arrived in
Frankfurt, West Germany
in April under extradition
order where he is expected
to be tried on charges of kil-
ling more than 11,000 Jews
in Nazi occupied Lithuania
in 1941.
The article also de-
scribes a practitioner in
Israel who uses "cup-
ping," heated tumblers
applied to the back which
draw the skin into the
open-ended glass. The
back is then massaged.
The doughnut-shaped
circle that appears tempo-
rarily on the skin led to the
term "Bagel Make' being
applied to the practice.
Television Bias
Last October, the Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith (ADL) released a
study of television network
coverage • of the war in
Lebanon indicating that the
three major networks —
NBC, CBS, and ABC —
. . . unwittingly or uncon-
sciously contributed to some
distortions and lack of ob-
jective perspective in their
coverage of the war" from
June 4 to Sept. 1, 1982.
Example is more forceful
than precept.
