UJFC CAMPAIGN
By Rabbi Bennett M. Hermann
Jt may come as a rude awakening to many Jews that keeping the glorious causes of Jewish life alive costs money -a great deal of money. Of course, there are .many Jews in our .community and throughout the world «Ao are already well aware of this fact; and are confributing thousands upon thousands of dollars to 'Rcedakah. But, alas, there are many Jews who need to be educated and who need to be reminded as to their obligations to their people, to their faith, audi last hut not least, to the Land of Israd.       ;| ,   Often, some of us will coihplabi that the Jewish (>6mmunity is too ihvolved and too preoccupied with '.'. fundraising. "Where is our devotion to JeWish lear¬ ning, to the synagogue," we may ask; "Is money everjthtag?"
We realize that money is not everything; and that sometimes we do forget the ideals for which we are striving. But the cold fact still remains that Jewish education, Jewish community life, caring for our aged, our needy Jewish families, Jewish adoption services, aiding Jewish immigrants,' and mauitabiing our most precious.4iossession,.th&.Xand,«o{.>Jsrad is going-to-—

Memo Oh Ceasefire Due from Big Four
UNITED NA-nONS (WNS) - Ihe Big Foiv Ambassadors have chained their deputies to draw up a non-bindhig memorahdum on ihe progress of almost one-year's talks on efforts to implement the United Nations Security Council's cease-fire resolution. — ^——-.— -^
Ihe memo, wiiich is to be prepared in tune foran April 15 meethig of the Big Four, would tie a statement of what has happened so far ui' the ..foUr power talks. It wouldn't be a catalog explicitly listing the agreements and disagreements among the Big Four which the Soviet Union had opposed.
Russia's a^eement to the memo was viewed, by United States and French representatives as a "tiny step" forward that still leaves a 'long way to the ^ general end.'VAn ^nerican spokesman nbtisd that order didn't mean that the deputies would be able to draw up the memorandum.

To See Israel - Is To Be
Is To Support
By MUton J. Pinsky,
(}oPubIisher Ohio Jewish Cbranide
A stronger than ever sense irf niembers of our study mission there for the first time, as th^ tiny nation faces in the way prqiaration fw tbe fiiture.
Bl^ wife and I bad the good fprtune several months ago to visit Israd (our.first visit) with a group of editors an^ puUishers of the American Jewish Press aa guests of the Organization and In- fivmatian Department of the Worid Zionist Organizatian in cdlaboration witl^ the Government Press  oiSice.
We visited numerous area;s
and spoke with many dite
members     of     Israel's
, leadership in an effort to
' strengthen our  knowledge
and     understanding    of
realism was sensed by aH thie to Israd, especially by those saw for thei^sdves wbat this fer, hope, resdution, and
Israd's pwilous plight. We found that' even with the constant terrorist efforts and tfaeir< allies .(VS.) failing them, th^ have not lost their sense of humw or their direction for the future. The people on the street as well as the lieaders have accepted their plight in a most matter- of-fact way and continue to carry on their. Ufe in a nor¬ mal daily fashion.
Moshe Kol, the iMinister of Tourism, told us that ithe "terrorists are anxious to cut tourism hi the country." He
didn't fed their plan was working and went on to. explain that ''Jerusalem is safer than any city in the United Stotes" and that "the United States has safe liorders, but Israel has safe cities." He further urged' that; the press tell their readers that, visiting Israd is also a gesture of solidarity with the stote.
Louis: Arey' Pincus, .chairman of the Jewish Agehcy spoke of the need of meeting the situation head- cm and facing facts as thpy are. He urged us not to i-ead too much into front page headlines. "Let's look for the silver linuigs" he said, "but let's not make them up if they're not there."
Prime Minister Golda Meir, Foreign Minister Abba Eban,     Deputy     Prime
Minister Yigal Allon, and many others left us with the strong feding of Israd's confidence hi' its ability to survive and io overcome the obstocles they face daily. U[nfortunately, they gave further feding to the fact that peace is not in the forseeabte future and that this conflict could go on for years (maybe hundreds). This did not seem to dent their attitudes or direction. Ihey all voiced the continued need for support from World Jewry, especially the United Stotes, as the largest single group outside Israd. Prime Minister Meir further stated : that Israel was there to stay and'She'felt ttiat the Jewish .community and press in the U.S. should 'do all in its 'power to reach the younger,: generation and' ensure ,the
cohtinuity and Zionist content of JcAvish life in America so that we too as a Jewish community would survive.
Abba Eban indicated that even though^many decisionis ofthe U.S. afe not to Israel's liking and that even though there was vociferous disagreement on, some proposals, it was. all generally within the framework qf friendship.
There were so many delightful and iiiteresting incidents and sights we saw that I could: write many pages of copy. However, we thought it might be more interesting to you the reader to. see some ¦ of • the many photos' we took while in Israel. On page 13 of the paper, you will .find, these photos, that we think .>v'ill
more graphically whet your appetite for a trip to Israel. For ihany years, as you have, so have we heard, been told, and ^ told others, the reasons for supporting Israd -the United Jewish Fund and Couhcil and the Israel Emergency Fund. In Israd, we were seemg and hearing first-hand why we should support the United Jewish Fund and C!ouncil and the Israel Emergency Fund as never before. It was all too vivid and true. As-I try to find words to portray how we felt after being tbere -1 find
, none that carry the true value..,
. All I seem to be able to say is - We went, we saw and we believe, more strongly than ever before, the need-of continued and increasing support for Israel.
