Bound together by our faith and heritage, the Jewish People has forged an
unbreakable partnership. Certainly, at no time in our history has that partnership
been put to greater challenge.
Once again, after a decade of flickering hope for those who seek to live as Jews,
darkness has descended once again upon our brothers and sisters in the Soviet
Union. For daring to study Hebrew, they risk their jobs, their security. Sometimes
more.
In Israel, defense requirements have contributed to a grave economic situation.
And the price is being paid by those who can least afford it: the elderly, immigrant
families, young people whose hopes of a better future are at risk because
the government must cut back its higher education budget.
And here at home people are still without work, their families suffering
from the emotional stress that goes with joblessness. For them, and the
growing number of aged living in poverty, there has been
no turnaround.
ongregational Rabbis
For them, and for our fellow Jews everywhere, we must
dedicate ourselves and our resources.
We, the congregational rabbis of Detroit, hereby reaffirm:
It is the obligation and privilege of every congregation to
cooperate in every possible way with the Jewish Welfare Federation in its 1985 Allied Jewish
Campaign, which will help meet the needs of Jews in Israel, in Detroit and throughout the world.
We do further reaffirm that it is the privilege and obligation of every Jewish man and woman to
give as generously as possible to the Allied Jewish Campaign, which serves to support the network
of agencies here in Detroit for every family to utilize as they are needed.
We therefore designate Friday evening, January 25*, and Saturday, January 26*, as Campaign -
Federation Sabbath, as a reminder that we are united—in our peoplehood and in our support of the
1985 Allied Jewish Campaign.
Further, we urge every member of our community to answer the call on Super Sunday-LJanuary 27
— and to Be There for our fellow Jews.
