A TISHA B'AV CALL TO GREATER DETROIT JEWRY TISHA 13111 iy,35 `rivirui 245 vvvni z445 tv5wril iy,351 "For Zion's sake, I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake, I will not rest." Isaiah LXII THURSDAY, AUG. 14, 1986 Nineteen hundred years after the destruction of the Second Temple our people have lived to see the renewal of Jewish sovereignty in the land of Israel and have unfurled the flag of our freedom among the independent nations. While Tisha B'Av is an occasion to mourn the loss of the spiritual center of the Jewish people, it is also a time to renew our commitment to Medinat Israel on the thirty-eight anniversary of the restoration of Jewish independence. Jerusalem, the focus of Jewish prayers and dreams for so many centuries, is once again the united center of Jewish life, hope and creativity. Our generation is privileged to have witnessed and played a part in the establishment of the Third Jewish Corilmonwealth. It .was our parents and grandparents who prepared the way for Israel re- born by acquiring and redeeming the land of our ancestors. Through the pioneering work of the Jewish National Fund, acting on behalf' of Jews everywhere, the desolate geography of the Jewish State is being restored to its Biblical beauty and productivity. Empty, barren hillsides are covered with forests, providing green sanctuaries of rest and recreation. Malarial swamps are now fertile valleys. Flowers, gardens and vegetables spring out of the desert. While we can take pride in what has been ac- complished, much more remains to be done to preserve and defend the Jewish homeland. This year, more than ever before, we are asking you to demonstrate your commitment to JNF, thus securing Israel's growth and guaranteeing our own destiny. Here are our goals: • Reclaiming 75 percent of the remaining wasteland. • Preparing the infrastructure to populate the north. • Building roads in the Galilee and connecting these with a national highway system. • Reclaiming 60,000 acres in the south for ag- riculture and establishing new jobs for im- migrants seeking and finding new fields of ' endeavor there. Now during the Tisho B'Av season, your generous gift will guarantee Israel's land reclamation, affores- tation, and agriculture research programs. Let us renew our commitment by answering the call for the future in the soil and soul of Israel! Please for- ward your contributions to the JNF office or call in your pledge without delay.
