of civic affairs and has been one

iod of time. He assumed leader
ship rolfes in the early days of
the Youth Division in the Wel

Mrs. Jake Friedman and Mrs. Marvin Goldstein
Women’s Division Announces
Heads for 1966 Campaign
Special to The Southern Israelite
The Year-round Women’s Di
vision of the Jewish Welfare
Fund held a pre-campaign meet
ing January 14 at the Progres
sive Club.
Of major interest was the an
nouncement of the two Co-Chair
men who will hold the top lead
ership post in the Women’s Di
vision 1966 Welfare Fund Cam
paign—Mrs. Jake Friedman and
Mrs. Marvin Goldstein, well-
known community leaders.
In a joint statement, Mrs.
Friedman and Mrs. Goldstein
said, “Locally, the Women’s Di-
vison can look back over 30
years in which it kept on working
and giving with great satisfac
tion. On a National basis, women
have contributed since 1946 in
plus dollars over $235,000,000 to
community campaigns to help
United Jewish Appeal save more
than three million persons and
give nearly two million of them,
regardless of age or health or
skills, a chance to live again in
free lands. This is no small
accomplishment! But today we
are at the crossroads. This is the
year we must help solve many
problems of immigration, absorp
tion and rehabilitation, and keep
pace with the needs and num
bers—here at home and in 30
countries. We can no longer give
mere subsistence aid to hundreds
of thousands of our fellow Jews
who depend upon the help we
will provide through this Cam
paign.”

Mr. Feldman stated he was
prompted by the knowledge that
the 1966 drive offers an extra
ordinary challenge — one of
sharing a historic opportunity to
save lives.
“I attended the National United
Jewish Appeal Conference in
New York in December, and
more recently the Southern Re
gion Conference in Dallas, where
we reviewed the major problems
facing our fellow Jews overseas.
The UJA, a major beneficiary in
our Campaign, faces the problem
in 1966 of a $10 million cut in
its income as a result of cessa
tions payments from Germany.
At the same time this is expected
to be another year of great im
migration into Israel.
“With more people reaching
Israel,” he said, “more money is
needed for initial reception,
housing, youth care and training,
welfare for the aged and disabled
and all the other forms of assis
tance which constitute immigrant
absorption. There is also still the
backlog of those who have come
in preceding years and have not
as yet been absorbed.
• “The people of Israel are
making every sacrifice to finance
the absorption of the new arrivals
and to keep their doors open to
all newcomers including the old
and disabled.
“We must not lose sight of the
fact,” Mr. Feldman said, “that
our united campaign benefits
over 60 national, overseas, and
local agencies. In Atlanta alone
last year more than $130,000 was
contributed by the Welfare Fund
for the support of such agencies
in our community as the Bureau
of Jewish Education, the Hebrew
Academy, the Jew'sh Home and
the Jewish Community Center.
If these apen^os are to develop
with the growth of the Jewish
cnmmun'tv. then they w : Il re-
on’re even greater support In
1966.
“Atlanta has always been one
of the best Jew'sh communities
in the TTn ; ted States in meet’ng
its responsibilities to all the
causes represented in our cam
paign. I feel confident that the
leadership pnd the total commun
ity will once again meet this
challenge.”
Mr. Feldman and his wife,
Clara, recently spent several
weeks in Israel where they had
the opportunity to see at first
hand the work of the UJA and
the absorption of immigrants.
