. . . AROUND THE WORLD
While Federation was reaching out to Jewish
people in the tri-county area, it also was strength-
ening its bonds with our people in the farthest
corners of the Jewish world.
It was a year of hardship and tragedy for our
people, requiring rescue from Sarajevo...airlift from
Ethiopia...sustenance for the aged of Morocco. The
success stories are miraculous...many of them
accomplished by the American Jewish Joint
Distribution Committee with our Allied Jewish
Campaign dollars.
Thousands of immigrants from
Ethiopia and the former Soviet
Union found their way home to
Israel this year.
On Federation missions to Israel -- the Miracle
Mission, family missions, singles missions --
Detroiters hear the stories as experienced by
Israel's newest immigrants.
And in Israel's Project Renewal sister cities, the
people of Yavne and Ramie speak with affection of
their extended family: the Jewish community of
Detroit that has enabled them to fulfill their hopes
for a better future.
