observe the Passover holiday in the
traditional manner, it was reported
by Donald M. Robinson, JDC
President.
“We are grateful for the
cooperation of the Egyptian
government in facilitating the
shipments of Matzo,” Mr.
Robinson said. “We hope that the
improved atmosphere which made
possible this humanitarian gesture
will be followed in the not too
distant future by a state of peace in
the Middle East."
There are about 400 Jews in
Egypt, with about 250 in
Alexandria and the balance in
Cairo.
“The community did not have
sufficient facilities for baking its
own matzo and asked the JDC to
provide the needed supplies,"
Robinson said. “The 1,000 kilos
will provide more than five pounds
for every Jew in Egypt. For the
needy the Jewish community will
provide additional assistance."
Total Passover supplies shipped
by JDC this year came to 367,000
pounds of Matzo, 47^)00 pounds
of Matzo meal, 220 pounds of
Matzo shmura and 31,000 bottles
of sacramental wine...The
shipments went to Rumania,
Greece, Lebanon, Tunisia,
Poland, Morocco, Portugal,
Yugoslavia and Spain, in addition
to Egypt.
Matzo shmura is matzo that has
been baked entirely by hand under
strict supervision by religious
functionaries.
Special provisions were made
for Russian Jewish transmigrants
in Vienna and Rome. In Vienna a
community Seder will be held for
some 300 to 400 Russian Jews
within one or two days after having
crossed the border.
In Rome Matzo will be
distributed to about 3,500
transmigrants waiting for visas to
carry them to their final
destinations in the West. A special
community Seder will be held for
the observant and all transmigrant
children in school will hold pre-
Passover celebrations. It is
expected that 300 to 400 children
will take part in observances in
three community centers.
Funds for the JDC Passover
assistance program and other
health, welfare and educational
programs are provided mainly by
Jewish federations and welfare
funds through the United Jewish
Appeal.
