Competitors have duplicated the size but have yet to recreate the heritage and sound that comes from within. Although produced by nearly all guitar makers here and abroad the Dreadnought design remains an original Martin innovation that dates back to 1916.

Woodward Ave. Birmingham, MI 48011 642-1690 Around the world, Cam- paign funds are needed to maintain a lifeline to Jews, many of them elderly, who otherwise would be alone. The Joint Distribution Corn- mittee (JDC), a major Cam- paign beneficiary, provides direct relief and social ser- vices — including food, shelter, education and medical supplies — to Jewish communities in 34 countries. During Israel's 40 years of existence, the country has ab- sorbed 1.8 million im- migrants, including 16,000 Ethiopians rescued in Opea- tion Moses. Youth Aliyah re- mains Israel's major institu- tion for taking care of children — the homeless, the orphaned and those who have no one else to care for them. Funds also support education, aid to elderly and other human services. Eight years ago, the Detroit Jewish community undertook its first Project Renewal neighborhood in Israel. With the completion of the Ramla project, Detroit has under- taken a second Project Renewal partnership in Yavneh. Plans include a new park, construction of a day care center, a senior citizens' center and a community center, as well as cultural and social programs. Federation president Dr. Conrad Giles explained that the Detroit Jewish communi- ty can budget for its 1989 needs only if it knows now how much money will be corn- ing in through the Campaign. That point was emphasized by Campaign chairmen Jane Sherman and Paul Borman, who said the strength of the community depends upon every one of its members "standing up now to make a pledge." Prospective contributors not reached on Super Sunday will still have an opportunity to pledge Dec. 18, when addi- tional workers will be on the phones. Monday Opening Super Sunday will kick off a week of events to benefit the 1989 Allied Jewish Campaign. The Campaign officially opens Monday, when Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and TV commentator George Will adresses Campaign con- tributors of $1,000 and over at Thmple Beth El. Beginning at 7 p.m., the event includes cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, with a dessert reception following the meeting. Reser- vations are required. On Thursday, the Cam- paign's Human Services/Com- munal Services Section will meet at the home of Joel and Shelley Tauber in West Bloomfield. Beginning at 7:30 p.m., the dessert-buffet meeting is by invitation to all Detroit area Jewish communal profes- sionals. Several community leaders who have recently returned from a mission to the Soviet Union will address the group. In addition, a musical pro- gram by Russian emigres Nikolai and Ludmila Lemberg, performing on flute and piano, will also be featured. On Dec. 18, Campaign volunteers will participate in the first annual Bagel and Pledge Card Thlethon, 9:30 a.m. to noon, in an attempt to reach anyone who wasn't con- tacted on Super Sunday. Volunteers will also be calling for new gifts and year-end cash payments. Federation Withholds Funds Atlanta — The Jewish Federation of Atlanta will temporarily withhold 1989-1990 funds from Israel "until the issue of the Law of Return is satisfactorily resolved to the consensus of our community," federation officials said in a recent statement. Orthodox parties in Israel are seeking to amend the Law of Return to exclude non- halachically converted Jews from becoming Israeli citizens. Schwartz, Carmi spokesman for the Council of Jewish Federations, called the Atlanta move the strongest statement on the issue he has seen to date. Meanwhile, the Federation of Pittsburgh also is reported- ly considering withholding funds from Israel until the "Who is a Jew" issue is settled.
