Rather than the sim- ple listing of past years, a renamed Project Renewal and Development budget takes center stage in the 1988-89 Jewish Agency Proposed Budget, occupying a strategic slice of the budgetary pie and commanding no less than $90 million in income and services. The change, a fundamental conceptual shifting of gears, says a lot about the spirit of the Jewish Agency today. Overseas Jewish communi- ties are no longer content to simply funnel contributions into innumerable bureau- cratic pigeonholes in Israel. Detroiter Jane Sherman told The Jewish News that changes are occurring at the Agency and "I believe that major changes will occur as quickly as is possible in Israel. "In the U.S., you fight to ap- prove something and then it is implemented. In Israel, after you get approval you fight to get it implemented?' Mandell Berman of Detroit, president of the Council of Jewish Federations, was at- tending his first Jewish Agen- cy Assembly. He said that the board had "good control of the Agency for the first time?' Project Renewal is but one example of a concerted effort to bring constructive, orderly change to the fund-distri- bution process. Similar changes are taking place in many other spheres of Jewish Agency operations. These changes will be manifest at the Jewish Agen- cy Assembly, where 800 world Jewish leaders gathered this week to make important deci- sions about the future direc- tion of the agency. The dress rehearsal for this conclave took place last week, when the World Zionist Organiza- tion's Zionist General Council convened here. Already, major players in the Jewish Agency have join- ed the debate over Israel's efforts to curb a 92 percent dropout rate of Jews leaving the Soviet Union on Israeli visas.
