Throughout the centuries, the Lion of Judah has been a symbol for the strength and
majesty of the Jewish people.

The Jewish Federation Women's Department has adopted the symbol for its Allied
Jewish Campaign Lion of Judah sections that raise funds for fellow Jews around the
world. The message? One woman, if she's determined, can make a significant difference in
the lives, well being and continuity of her family and her people.

At a recent Lion of Judah gathering, two teenagers from the former Soviet Union
dramatized what that determination can accomplish.

They are participants in the SELA program, a university
preparatory program for high school graduates who have settled in
Israel in advance of their families. The program, supported by the
Campaign, is helping educate the next generation of Israeli leader-
ship.

Guests at the luncheon responded with heart, significantly
increasing their annual Campaign gifts for 1998.

Nancy Grand, a board member of
the American Jewish Joint
Distribution Committee, told the
group of the mounting needs
among the aged of the former
Soviet Union
