YOU'RE COVERED
With Our New T-Shirt!
During the Detroit Jewish
community's single largest
fund-raising appeal of the
year — Super Sunday Jan. 24
— 7,388 Detroiters con-
tributed $963,886 to the
Allied Jewish Campaign of
the Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion. Two followup telethons
this week were expected to
raise the total above $1
million.
Last year, Super Sunday
brought in $885,423.
Four hundred Super Sun-
day volunteers included nine-
month-old Carly Schiff and
Super Sunday regular Ronit
Feldman, 6, who doubled her
$1 pledge of last year. Once
again, Yossi Ziffer brought his
friends from Akiva Hebrew
Day School to serve as pledge
card "runners", enabling the
clerical volunteers to process
cards quickly.
Proving that youthful en-
thusiasm has nothing to do
with the calendar were
Hortense Falk, 78, and Sam
Dashow, 76.
Said Falk: "I ask my pro-
spects if they know the
average age of an Ethiopian
immigrant to Israel. Do you
know that it's 14, and that
two-thirds of them are or-
phaned? Can you imagine
14-year-olds crossing the
desert to get to Israel?"
In one of the day's light
moments, Dr. James Labes
