It is not the prevalent view,
but some historians believe
that Christopher Columbus
was of Jewish origin. They
base their opinion, in part,
on the fact that his diary en-
try on the day he set sail
from Spain in 1492 included
the notation that on the
same day King Ferdinand
and Queen Isabella had
issued a proclamation ex-
pelling the Jews from Spain.

Charity
Begins
at Home

. . . but it doesn't end there.

As children, we learned the importance of doing
mitzvot — good deeds — to help other people.
As adults, we learn that building a secure future
for ourselves and our families is also a mitzvah.

But can you do both?
Yes, you can. The answer is a charitable gift
annuity from the Federated Endowment Fund of
the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit.

Consider this:
If you are age 50 or older, you may be able to
double the interest you earn currently with
certificates of deposit and other investments.*

Charitable gift annuities provide:
•income at a higher rate of return for the rest of
your life
•partially tax-free income
•current income tax savings

*If you are age 70 and your CD is earning
3.5%, you deserve better. With a charitable gift
annuity, you can receive a 7.8% annual pay-
ment, plus other benefits.

But the best part is, you can enjoy all these
benefits and others while bringing comfort to
the aged and hope to the disadvantaged.

You can secure your own future while helping
provide a new life for Jewish refugees brought
to freedom.
Sound good to you? Call the Federated Endow-
ment Fund for more information: 642-4260,
ext. 206.
