the home of Mrs. I. Wilen, 915
Berkshire Rd., N. E. The Mem
bers of the Committee are: Mes
dames L. J. Levitas, Ted Levitas,
Nathan Lipton, Si Rosenblum,
Leonard Diamond, Jacob Levitt,

Robkin, and Simon Bressler.
Mrs. Jack I. Freedman and

the Jewish Home, and the Fed

Among the national agencies
which received substantial allo
cations from the Campaign were
the American Jewish Committee,
Anti Defamation League of B’nai
B’rith, Jewish War Veterans, the
National Jewish Welfare Board,
Bnai B’rith National Youth Serv
ices Appeal, and many other re
ligious, cultural and health or
ganizations.
The overseas agencies who ben
efit from the Campaign included
Hadassah, the Hebrew University,
the National Council of Jewish
Women, the Pioneer Women and
Histadrut, United HIAS Service.
The major beneficiary of the
drive is the United Jewish Ap
peal which received in 1965 an
allocation of $467,478.
Mr. Goldstein pointed out that
the needs of all the agencies in
the Campaign have increased
greatly in the past year. “In our
own community we know that the
Community Center will require
greater support to meet their ex
panding services. Our own Jew
ish Home must have its deficit
met from the Campaign because
many of the residents are unable
to pay the full cost of care. Our
other local agencies must also re
ceive greater support if they are
to meet the needs required of
them.”

the United Jewish Appeal Mr.
Feldman and Mr. Weinstein re
ported on UJA meetings they at
tended in New York and in Dal
las, which highlighted the tre
mendous needs of the UJA agen
cies including the Joint Distri
bution Committee and the Jew
ish Agency in Israel. It was re
ported at these conference^ that
the U*JA will no longer receive
the $10 million which has been
given to it for a number of years
from German reparations. This _
is on top of a Joss of $7 million
by the Joint Distribution Com
mittee which will no longer re
ceive this amount from the same
source.
“The UJA must continue to
care, however, for the thousands
who have been resettled in 21
frontier towns," they reported
from the conferences.
The Campaign leade r s h i p
agreed that Atlanta Jewry was
ready to meet the challenge of
the increased needs of the bene
ficiary agencies and established
a realistic goal of $975,000.
Speaking for the Campaign
leadership Mr. Feldman stated,
“The Campaign is the link to our
historic past, to present respon
sibilities and to future hope. We,
the leadership of the drive call
for the enlistment of the entire
Jewry of Atlanta, as workers and
contributors, in this greatest of
all humanitarian efforts.”
