Inflation, funds shortage
demand pledge payments
“Contributors who have made
pledges or commitments to the
1979 Jewish Federation 1979
Campaign are being urged to make
payment of their pledges today,”
said Meyer Balser, cash chairman
of the 1979 AJF campaign
Balser noted that "cash flow is
the lifeline of Jewish aid to our
network of local, national and
overseas health, social welfare and
Jewish educational programs. The
flow of cash has reached a critical
point and our human support
programs in Israel around the
world, and in Atlanta are in
danger. This problem has both
immediate and long-range
implications. Each year that a
pledge is not collected decreases
the value of that pledge by about
25 percent. No one who has made a
pledge wants its value so severely
diminished.”
In Israel, the large-scale
construction spending connected
with the withdrawal from Sinai has
created intensive inflationary
pressures on an economy already
suffering from near-runaway
inflation.
The cost of living in Israel has
increased by 68 percent in the last
12 months. If inflation continues
for the rest of the year as it has
during the first half of 1979, then,
even without additional cost-of-
peace pressure, it will come close to
88 percent for this year. Since
1976, the cost of living has more
than tripled.
The Jewish Agency is caught in
the same inflationary spiral. It is
facing a serious^ dilemma in
maintaining—let alone expand
ing its vital services in immigrant
absorption, education, aid to
agricultural settlements and social
services. Due to a shortage of
funds, the Jewish Agency's budget
for higher education this year will
be slashed by 44 percent while the
total budget for all educational
services will be cut by 33 percent
Citing the vital community
programs and services in Atlanta
financed by the proceeds of the
Federation fund campaign, Balser
stressed “they were hard hit last
year and will be harder hit this
year—and there is no relief in
sight
"In 1979, Atlanta is facing this
unyielding fact of American
Campaign leadership of the
Atlanta Jewish Federation’s
Women's Division recently
participated in a Mini-Mission.
The purpose of the program was
to enable the coordinators and
chairwomen to learn what the local
agencies are doing and to have a
better understanding of their
needs
The group, under the leadership
of co-chairwomen Virginia Saul
and Harriet Zimmerman, visited
with Leonard Cohen, director of
the Jewish Family and Children’s
Bureau and with Steve Gerson and
Jody Franco of the Resettlement
Unit.
Jewish community life at a time
when, it is carrying out
responsibilities for resettling more
Soviet Jewish refugees than ever
before."
Balser added, “If the funds are
not available, our community
programs will have only three
options open to them, all of them
agonizing: (I) Reduce services. (2)
Reduce the number of clients
aided, and (3) Reduce staff.
Contributors are urged to honor
their pledges before Dec. 31.
“Pledges are only meaningful
when collected. Good intentions
alone will not get thejobdone. The
facts are clear.” Balser concluded
During their visit at the Atlanta
Jewish Community Center,
participants had a Seniors
Nutrition Program lunch. The
AJCC’s Mike l.^inoff explained
that this program provides a hot
lunch for senior citizens every day
at the center.
The group also met with the
Jewish Vocational Service staff and
director Mark Fisher and Dr
Leon Spoils of the Bureau of
Jewish Education.
Joanne Singer summed up the
experience by saying “I learned
more today than in 23 years of
volunteer work."
