"The UJA raises more each year than the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, Muscular Dystrophy Association, March of Dimes, and Na- tional Easter Seal Society combined," the newspaper said. Since it was founded, the Jewish community has raised more than $13 billion for the UJA alone. Some $7 billion of that sum have gone directly to projects in Israel. Last year, the UJA, largely through the network of local Jewish federations around the country, raised $800 million and sent roughly half going to Israel. Most of the rest remained in the United States to pay for Jewish education, social services, hospitals and other causes. Despite the damage caused to Israel's image in recent years as a result of the in- tifada, the Who is a Jew? crisis and other matters, American Jews continue to give generously to the UJA. By all accounts, there have been very few donors who have dropped out because of their irritation with some of Israel's more controversial policies. Recent demographic studies commissioned by the UJA have shown that the centrali- ty of Israel still remains the single most important incen- tive in raising money in the Jewish community. American Jews, by and large, continue to identify with Israel, and the UJA is clearly their ma- jor address for expressing that support. Stuart Eizenstat, a well- known Washington lawyer and former White House of- ficial in the Carter ad- ministration, said that the American Jewish community itself has gained a great deal from this unique fund-raising relationship with Israel. Much of the UJA network around the country has become the dominant point of secular Jewish identification. "This would not have occur- red to anything like the ex- tent that it did had Israel not been a focal point of federa- tion activity," he said. "It's been absolutely central in terms of the whole political organization of the American Jewish community." 1 7% CANADIAN EXCHANGE RATE TRUCKLOAD DISCOUNT 30°/ — MANUFACTURER 20% CUSTOMER DISCOUNT a Our buyers shopped international markets to bring you this formica bedroom designed to our quality standards.
