Division
Although they appear to be far apart in origin and function,
two half-century-old Jewish organizations are sharing a birth-
day and a host of memories.
One is the United Jewish Appeal, the Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion's partner in assisting Jews throughout the world. The
other is the Young Adult Division, Federation's volunteer ser-
vice and leadership training arm for young men and women.
UJA and YAD have much in common. In 1938, with fears
rising for European Jewry, American Jewish leaders mobilized
for their relief and rehabilitation, mass resettlement in the land
of Israel and aid to refugees in the United States. Detroit's
young adults wanted to play a part in that mobilization.
The rest is history. The United Jewish Appeal went on to be-
come the single largest fund-raising organization on behalf of
Jews everywhere, its work furthered by the Detroit Jewish
community through the Allied Jewish Campaign.
Over the years, YAD volunteers have lent energy and devo-
tion to that task. Beyond fund-raising, however, YAD provides
a forum for creative ideas and, through a variety of service pro-
jects, an outlet for their commitment to Jewish life.
March 1948. For this youngster, one of
38,000 surviving Jewish children in Austria
and Germany, his new cap symbolizes a
new beginning. Funds from the United
Jewish Appeal established the capmaker's
shop—and additionally provided food,
medical care and welfare assistance to
thousands of refugees. UJA's life-sustain-
ing support touches Jewish people through-
out the world.
