must first be a sound economic
basis to build on. Improvements
are being made, but things are
moving slowly." His long-term
goal is to "see the state stand on
its own two feet in ten to 15
years."
As .chairman of the Operation
Independence tourism commit-
tee, Fisher expressed concern
that Israel is not utilizing to
capacity this most valuable re-
source. "There is great inspira-
tion that comes from landing on
Israeli soil," he said, adding that
•the Jewish community must
spread the word that "visiting
Israel is like traveling nowhere
else in the world."
The second half of the pro-
gram was devoted to a
question-and-answer session.
When asked to comment on the
plight of Soviet Jewry, Fisher
said, "No real results will take
place until Russia and the
United States improve their re-
lationship." The important thing
is that "we never give up try-
ing."
Partners
For Life
Partnership is the theme of
the 1986 Allied Jewish Cam-
paign of the Jewish Welfare
Federation. The Detroit
Jewish community's spirit of
partnership is clearly evident
in the kinds of services the
Campaign helps support in
Israel.
While the AJCampaign
deals with raising dollars, it
also focuses on preserving
human lives. The following
profile — the fourth in a series
— shows how Campaign con-
tributions help build a strong
Israel by working to meet the
needs of her people.
The Person. Yitzhak Amir
believes that you must give
back a little of what you re-
ceive. That's why he spends
his days teaching young
Ethiopian immigrants at one
of Israel's many Youth
Aliyah schools.
Yitzhak was a young boy
when he was brought from
his native Iraq to Israel as
part of a Youth Aliyah rescue
operation. Now, 36 years la-
ter, he is as proud of being
part of the modern Jewish
state as he is of the doctorate
of education he has earned.
But he is most enthusiastic
about his work with Ethio-
pian children. His new
friends, as he calls them, are
among 2,000 young immig-
rants who are being helped in
Youth Aliyah programs.
When asked about his
teaching philosophy, Yitzhak
recalls his own early days as
a YA student. He admits to
being frightened and with-
drawn, but says, "My coun-
selors taught me that curios-
ity canconquer fear — that
questiona can unlock a whole
new world. That's why I'm
working to teach my Ethio-
pian students good study
skills."
On a typical day, you
might find the easy-going
teacher strolling between
rows of desks, stopping to
give a pat on the back or
word of encouragement to a
frustrated youngster. While
he notes that his work-hours
are long and the pay isn't
terrific, Yitzhak says there's
nothing he would rather be

The Agency. Originally
•organized to rescue the chil-
dren of Europe in the years
leading to World War II, Is-
rael's Youth Aliyah receives
funds from the Jewish Wel-
fare Federation's Allied
Jewish Campaign and from
the annual campaigns of
other communities. Funding
is allocated through the
United Jewish Appeal and
the Jewish Agency for Israel.
Since Youth Aliyah's be- •
ginnings, more than 200,000
children have been served by
an evolving program of resi-
dential education, counseling
and training. Today, some
18,000 youngsters are
enrolled in the agency's pro-
grams.
Youth Aliyah is only one
area of Israel's social service
network that receives assis-
tance through UJA'Jewish
Agency allocations. Immig-
rant and absorption services,
for example, include voca-
tional training and language
instruction for. Israel's new-
comers; rural settlement ef-
forts enable pioneers to de-
velop barren areas and
strengthen Israel's presence.
Other services include resi-
dences and community cen-
ters for the elderly, as well as
rehabilitation for the handi-
capped.
