"I am writing to-urge y6ur sup¬ port of the campaign for the sale of State of Israel Bonds. We all know the difficulties with which the State of Israel Is faced. Israel's existence requires a firm economic foundation. The grave threats to her security intensify this need.
"The Amerioan rabbinate has in the past given its support to the Bond campaign. We must continue this support in even greater meas¬ ure.
"Recognizing the importance of the sale of Israel Bonds, our Con¬ ference at its last convention In Asbury Park adopted the following resolution:
"Israel requires the aid of the American Jewish community in meeting the task of Integrating hundreds of thousands of destitute newcomers Into its life and In a- chieving economic self-sufficiency. The whole area of Israel's economy must be progressively enlarged. This purpose, is envisaged in Isra¬ el's Development Budget. Funds invested through Israel Bonds are essential for this purpose. Such financial Investment carries with 11 Investment in the intangibles of Jewish security, dignity and free¬ dom.
"The (Antral Conference of A- merican Rabbis calls upon its members,- in addition to such sup¬ port as they may render to the UJA and other authorized philan¬ thropic causes on behalf of Israel, to lend their aid In support of Is¬ rael Bonds.
"May I urge with all my power your own Implementation ot this resolution in the old you give to this effort so vitally needed in this time of Israel's great need."
