JERUSALEM—
FOUNDING FATHERS
Anyone who wishes to visualize a world Jew
ish parliament in creation should have attended
tite Founding Assembly of the reconstituted Jew
ish Agency for Israel.
More than 300 “founding fathers,” from Jew
ish communities in 37 lands came to this his
toric conclave which marked a milestone in Jew
ish unity. It was a most impressive four-day ga
thering of representatives of all elements in
world Jewry. The largest delegation—almost a
third of all the delegates—came from the United
States. Its influence was strongly felt hi all plen
ary sessions, and especially in the working com
mittee where plans were laid for wide activities
of the reconstituted Agency.
It was for the first time in the history of the
Jewish Agency that leaders of Jewish Federations
and Welfare Funds in the United States were
taken into full partnership into the governing
bodies of the Jewish Agency which have hitherto
been composed of Zionists only. The reconstituted
Jewish Agency is now built on a 50-50 basis, with,
with Zionists constituting only 50 of the leader
ship, the remainder composed of Jewish leaders
from various countries—primarily the United States
—who have never been affiliated with the Zionist
movement but who have the yjtereste of Israel close
to their hearts.
A strong demarcation line between the Jewish
Agency and the World Zionist movement was in
troduced at the Founding Assembly in a document
signed by the delegates and presented in solemn
ceremony at the first plenary session. No longer
will anyone be under the impression that the Jew-

ish Agency and the World Zionist Organization are
the same institution. Each of the two bodies will
now have separate leadership, separate functions,
and a separate budget. Each of them will conduct
its activities independently. The budget of the
World Zionist Executive will henceforth have to be
covered from Zionist sources.
The reconstituted Jewish Agency, under the
agreement signed by each of the participating dele
gates to the Founding Assembly, now becomes a
central body of the entire world Jewry—Zionists and
non-Zionists — with American non-Zionists, under
the leadership of Max Fisher, noted American Jew
ish figure and president of the Council of Jewish
Federations and Welfare Funds, having a strong say
in the shaping of policies of the Agency and in the
making of its decisions.

NEW DIMENSIONS
The Israel Government—and Israelis in general
—welcome the change in the Jewish Agency. They
especially welcome, the fact that the American Jew
ish communities will now become active partners in
the policy-making organs of the Agency.
There is a feeling of great affection for Max
Fisher in Israel, and his becoming the chairman of
the Council of the Reconstituted Jewish Agency—
the highest governing body between the annual As
semblies—is looked upon by the Israelis as a great
gain. The chairman of the reconstituted Jewish
Agency is Louis Pincus, the able Israeli leader well
known in the United States and throughout the
Jewish world.
New dimensions will now be added to the work
of the Jewish Agency, including programs which
embrace the strengthening of education in Israeli
institutions of higher learning, health and welfare
services, care and training of youth. Immigration,
absorption of immigrants, housing of immigrants
will, of course, remain the basic functions of the
Agency. But various other concerns will also be
come now the obligations of the reconstituted Agen
cy. This will of course be reflected in the Agency’s
budget.
The proposed Agency budget for the fiscal year
presented to the Founding Assembly shows that the
Agency will be in need of more than $572 million
in 1971-72. as compared with less than $362 million
of the previous year. The difference will have to
come chiefly from contributors in the United States
through the United Jewish Appeal With the dom
inant role which American Jewish leadership will
now play in the reconstituted Jewish Agency and
in all of its governing bodies, there will no longer
be a situation which some termed as “taxation with
out representation.” American Jewry will be rep
resented solidly in all organs of the Jewish Agency.
It was interesting to note at the deliberations
which took place in the committees of the Founding
Assembly that the initiative to re-organize the
Jewish Agency and to give the non-Zionists
a stronger voice in its decisions, came from Zionist
leadership in Israel. This, it was believed, will
stimulate greater involvement in the Agency ac
tivities on the part of Jews in the United States,
England, France and other countries who are far
from considering themselves as Zionists but who are
eager to come to the aid of Israel in helping to
solve the country’s human needs, to bring in as
many immigrants as possible, and to provide for
their absorption in the best possible way.
SOVIET SHADOW
The Founding Assembly did not forget the Jews
in the Soviet Union. This was made dramatically
clear at the very opening session of the Assembly.
A page was left blank in the book of the sig
natories of the agreement which the “founding fa
thers” signed at the gathering as an historic doc
ument recording and approving the establishment of
the reconstituted Jewish Agency. This was done de
liberately in the hope that the day may come when
Soviet Jewry will be free to join the Assembly as
the Jewish community of the 38th county partici
pating in the Jewish Agency.
The shadow of Soviet Jewry hovered over the
Assembly not only at the plenary sessions which
were open to the public, but also at close sessions.
Especially at the session dealing with immigration
Highly interesting facts were reported and data
was revealed concerning the emigration of Jews
from the Soviet Union. Assessment was also made
of the possibilities for continued emigration from
Russia in the future.
In the light of anticipated immigration, the .As
sembly also discussed the problem of immigrant
housing. More and more new buildings are now
being erected throughout Israel to house immigrant
families arriving from Russia and other countries;
but the housing shortage remains acute. The re
constituted Jewish Agency will seek this fiscal year
about $200 million—almost twice as much as last
year—to cope with the immigrant housing prob
lem.
The Founding Assembly will go into Jewish his
tory as a gathering which strengthened the link be
tween Jews in the free world and Israel. While
recognizing the fact that not all Jews in the United
States and other countries are Zionists in the sense
of belonging to the organized Zionist movement, the
Assembly at the same time paved the way for the
obliteration of the differences between Zionists
and non-Zionists in the work on behalf of
Israel. It welded them together for practical pro
grams which can only help to strengthen Israel, and
this is especially appreciated by the Israel Govern
ment and by all sides involved.

MRS. ALONI HAS HER HAIR DONE 8
Out: Mrs. Aloni and a Hairdresser. Scene: A beauty parlor in Jerusalem.
Hairdresser: Shalom, Mrs. Aloni. How are you? I haven't seen you for
a long time. I really missed you. I already suspected that you
were being disloyal to me and going to another beauty parlor.
Mrs. Aloni: Heaven forbid. What a bad opinion you have of me. Is that
what you think of me? It was simply that I have been on
vacation with my family in Ein-Gedi for several weeks,
Hairdresser: Very good. I wish I could go away for a few day’s vacation.
All my customers leave during the winter months, to bathe in
the Dead Sea and in the hot springs of Ein-Boker, near Ein-Gedi
around Sodom. Well, what shall we do for you today?
Mrs. Aloni: Make me beautiful.
Hairdresser: There’s nothing left to do. Everything is perfect. '
Mrs. Aloni: Thank you. You’re sweet. You have a stock of ready-made
compliments, and you distribute them generously to all your
customers.
Hairdresser: Why not? As they say: "The one gains pleasure and the other
loses nothing.” Not one customer has ever refused to listen
to a compliment.
Mrs. Aloni: But aren’t you sick and tired of telling the same compliments
to all your customers?
Hairdresser: Heaven forbid. I fit the compliments to each customer, ac
cording to her outfit, the time of day. the season of the year,
and according to mood.
Mrs. Aloni: You are a real expert in compliments. You should get a JPh.D.
I in compliment-making!
Hairdresser: I deserve one. I’m an old hand in the business and work hard
at it... Well, Mrs. Aloni, what shall we do for you, a hair
cut? A shampoo? A set?
All of them. As for the set, find something that will suit my
personality. Look, I put myself in your hands like “clay in
the hands of the potter.”
The “clay” is excellent, and the “potter” not bad. Let’s get
to work...
