Sixty women heard Lili Nesher, formerly with Israel's foreign ministry, discuss some of the problems confronting Israel today. Mrs. Nesher, along with her husband, a veteran of Israel's War for Indepen- dence in 1948, spoke movingly of passing the burden of defense from generation to generation. Her son fought in the 1973 Yom Kippur War, and her daughter recently completed her army service. More than 30 solicitors will be personally contacting women of the community to ask for their participation in the humanitarian projects supported by the CKJA campaign through UJA and other charities. CAMPAIGN UPDATE — MEN'S DIVISION Steve Caller, Chairman of the Men's Division of CKJA reports that Sunday morning, March 21, 1982 marked the beginning of the annual Campaign. Approximately 65 men met at the Lafayette Club to hear a variety of talks about Project Renewal, local needs and a fine speech by guest speaker ?ti Kolitz. Pledges for those in attendance totalled nearly $115,000 which rep— resents a 10% increase from the same pledges last year. This figure is 48% of the 1982 Men's goal. All 36 of the Men's workers now have their cards which remain to be solicited. Co—chairman Erle Levy has every expectation that the Campaign will be 90% complete by April 30th, and 100% by May 30, 1982. WE ARE ONE - ONE PEOPLE INDIVISIBLE A COVENANT AS AMERICAN JEWS WE: *express our ongoing commitment to the unity, strength, and continu— ity of the Jewish people; *attest to the central role of THE JEWISH AGENCY as Diaspora Jewry's foremost instrument through which we implement the full force of our commitment in the Jewish homeland; *accept our responsibility as partners with the people of Israel in building a great and just society, a partnership expressed a decade ago in the Reconstitution of the Jewish Agency on the 28th day of Sivan 5731, and DO HEREBY ENDORSE FULLY THE SOLEMN COVENANT sworn and signed that day by representatives of world Jewry, the Jewish Agency, and the people of Israel. THIS CHARTER TO ADDRESS HUMAN NEED reflected the historic mandate Of the Jewish Agency since its founding in 1929, carried out through; *The rescue and rehabilitation of Jews in lands of distress and their resettlement in freedom in the Jewish homeland; *Development of agricultural settlements; *Provision of health serivces to immigrants in need; *Rehabilitation of Jewish youth through Youth Aliyah; *Care of aged, disabled, handicapped, and other persons in need of assistance; *Support of higher educational, cultural, scientific, religious, and social service institutions; *Other programs and services designed to help immigrants become integrated into the community of Israel. TO THIS LIFE ENHANCING WORK has been added the sweeping and boldly innovative program called Project Renewal, making closer and even more binding the ties that link Israel's people with the Jews of America. TODAY WE FACE A CHALLENCING NEW DECADE in which our continuity as a people and Israel's existence as a Jewish homeland are once more under severe attack by anti-Semitic, anti—democratic, and anti—humanitarian forces the world over. IT IS OUR BELIEF that our commitment to meet the human needs of the people of Israel, expressed through our annual United Jewish Appeal Community Campaigns, is our most effective means of; *maintaining the global humanitarian lifeline which extends to Israel through the Jewish Agency and to Jews in 30 other lands through the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee; *defying and opposing rising threats to divide, diminish, or extin— guish Jewish life in earth, and *creating the cohesive and enduring Jewish life we seek for ourselves and our children in our communities throughout the United States.
