effect.
About a year and a half ago,
Federation President David
Page initiated the Allocations
Review Committee to evaluate
Federation's longstanding pol-
icy of sending 60 percent of net
Campaign revenue overseas
while keeping 40 percent for na-
tional agencies and local pro-
gramming.
Committee members — who
ranged from past Federation
presidents to laypeople to agen-
cy directors — aimed to pre-
serve the Detroit Jewish
community's reputation as one
of the strongest American sup-
porters of Israel.
However, their goal also was
to reformulate the 60-40 split
to save more dollars for esca-
lating local needs, especially in
the areas of Jewish continuity
and education.
"The Allocations Review
Committee spent a lot of time
evaluating the local needs we
face. We want to make sure
well be a strong and viable com-
munity 25 years from now,"
said Federation Vice President
Hugh Greenberg, who chaired
the committee.
On Jan. 25, committee mem-
bers recommended that
Federation change its 60-40
split to 57-43 by 1996. Speaking
in gross dollars, this means that
in three years 50 percent of to-
tal Campaign revenue will go
overseas and 50 percent will
stay here for local and nation-
al agencies, said Mr. Page and
Robert Aronson, Federation's
executive vice president.
More than 24 local and 18
national Jewish agencies vie for
Campaign money.
To formulate the new plan,
committee members informal-
ly surveyed many Campaign
supporters. The committee
members wanted to know why
people contribute to Campaign:
to support Israel, or more for lo-
cal concerns?
Committee members, some
of them prominent supporters
of Israel, were in disagreement
among themselves.
"We had people who felt that
a higher percentage should go
to Israel. We had people who
felt Israel should receive less.
But everyone stayed friends,"
said Mr. Greenberg.
"Nobody wanted to do vio-
lence to the needs of Israel. It's
still very high on our list of pri-
orities," Mr. Greenberg said.
"We didn't want to send a mes-
sage out in any way that our
support for Israel was dimin-
ishing. Everyone sitting on the
committee was pro-Israel to the
hilt."
Federation Executive Vice
President Robert Aronson said
the committee was not influ-
enced by prospects of peace,
however uncertain, in the
Middle East. Even with peace,

Israel's financial needs will con-
tinue, said Mr. Aronson, refer-
ring to ongoing efforts to
resettle Jews from the former
Soviet Union and elsewhere.
Local agency directors are re-
sponding to the 57-43 split with
cautious optimism. Howard
Gelberd, executive director of
the Agency for Jewish
Education, supports the
change, so long as extra monies
are used to "make Jews."
"I'm very committed to pro-
grams that build community
and Jewish identity. Everybody
wants to put this money into
Jewish education. The question

"We had people
who felt that
Israel should
receive less."

Hugh Greenberg

is, are they going to do it?"
Mr. Gelberd agrees with
some Israeli politicians who ad-
vise Americans to invest more
of their dollars at home. (See
story, page 28.)
"Building a creative rela-
tionship with Israel is only go-
ing to happen if the next
generation of kids is knowl-
edgeable," he said.
David Gad-Harf of the
Jewish Community Council
said, "I think the change reflects
a desire on the part of
Federation leadership to pro-
vide more resources for local
agencies amidst some very dif-
ficult issues and problems that
face us locally. I certainly sup-
port the decision, but in any sin-
gle year it will not lead to a
significant allocation increase.
"Some people have said they
have been amazed that this
change has taken place. Some
individuals thought the 60-40
split was engraved in stone."
