MIAMI (JTA) — The Jewish
Family and Children’s Service
provided counseling and place
ment services during 1964 to 1,946
families, an all-time record num
ber, according to the annual re
port for last year. The agency
reported that, during its 45th
year, the substantial increase in
the number of families asking
help made it necessary to estab
lish a priority system, based on
evaluation of each problem, the
urgency of the need and the abil
ity of the agency to help.
As part of the priority arrange
ments, the agency set an all-time
record for telephone interviews
—9,758, or an average of 37 per
day—in addition to 6,515 in-per
son interviews. The telephone in
terviews helped to screen out
persons with less urgent needs.
Such persons were placed on a
waiting list.
The Greater Miami Jewish
Federation, recognizing that
waiting lists were undesirable,
provided additional funds for
1964 for an additional casework
er, w r hich helped to clear the
waiting list. However, the agency

added, a growing community and
recognition and acceptance of the
agency’s services was creating a
new waiting list.
The agency said that 1,275—66
percent—of its 1,946 cases in 1964
involved family service, mostly
parent-child problems and mar
ital counseling. An additional 440
cases dealt with problems of
aging persons and their families.
The agency placed 38 children

awaiting adoption and children

report noted there was still a

ter home facilities.

thers received help in planning
for themselves and their infants.
NEW YORK — (JTA) — The
paradox of a highly organized,
thriving South African Jewish
community threatened with po
tential decline because of the
complacency of its members and
a lack of young leadership will
ing to devote themselves to
specifically Jewish affairs, was
stressed here today by Leon Feld-
berg, editor of the Southern
African Jewish Times, who is
currently visiting this country.
In an interview with the Jew
ish Telegraphic Agency, Mr.
Feldberg said that, in spite of
their location in a part of the
world subject to periodic waves
of tension, South African Jews
“are becoming indifferent to
matters specifically Jewish, sim
ply because they do not have the
problems that plagued world
Jewry ip earlier generations.”
Currently numbering about
110,000, the South African Jewish
community is among the best
organized in the world in the
fields of education, congrega
tional activity, Zionist affairs
and welfare programs, Mr. Feld
berg said, adding that communal

The services included counseling,
medical and hospital care, voca
tional planning, legal services
and boarding home or maternity
home care.
Nine adoptive placements were
made in 1964, and 15 adoptive
placements were supervised. The
agency recently announced it had
expanded its program for adop
tions, and reported that prelimin
ary figures for 1965 indicated it
would surpass the placements for
1964.
Other services include home
maker help, resettlement of new
Americans, aiding the Cuban ref
ugee program, psychiatric consul
tation and psychological testing.
During the year, also, the agency
opened a group treatment home
for emotionally disturbed child-
dren, the first of its kind in south
Florida.
harmony was generally the rule
among a Jewry largely of tradi
tional learning with only a mode
rate Reform movement.
He cited as another difficulty
to the thriving community the
fact that a high level of Jewish
education had created wide
spread demand for improvement
far beyond their present re
sources. The community sup
ports an elaborate Hebrew edu
cation network with the largest
center of Jewish population in
Johannesburg, providing some
form of Hebrew education to
8,000 youngsters out of a total
population of 55,000. Although
currently training their own
Hebrew teachers, religious lead
ers are largely brought in from
abroad.
During his visit here, Mr.
Feldberg presented to South
Africa’s Ambassador in Wash
ington, H. L. T. Taswell, a copy
of “South African Jewry, 1965.”
The volume, the first biographic
al work on South African Jewry
published in nearly four de
cades, was edited by Mr.
Feldberg.
