UJF's GOAL IS $740,000-PLUS
A campaign goal of $740,O0O-plus waa aet by an enthusiastic group of United Jowiah Fund Campaign Cabinet membera who met Mar. 22 'at the home of Aaron Zacks, Special Gifts chairman.
The objective was approved unanimously and with a full awareness of the needa Ot the agencies supported by the Fund find tremendous increase required to make the campaign a success, according to Troy Feibel, president, and WlUiam Kahn, campaign chairman.
"The $740,000-plus goal approximates the highest sum ever raised in Columbus by UJF," the leaders pointed out. "That was achieved In the year of the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, when Leo Yassenoff was campaign chairman. We can do it again, only if every¬ body understands the seriousness of the needs of all our 40 agencies, but particularly the crisis Jn Israel and North Africa. There tire un¬ doubtedly some who can double or triple their pledges. Others may only be able to give the 50% Increase required. Substantial increases are needed, not only to meet. the goal but to compensate for losses of generous contributors, who, since laat year, have passed away or have left Columbus." ,

During the discussion before the goal was set, speakers emphasized that although 1948 was a critical time, the year 1956 finds the Jew¬ ish people faced with similar prob¬ lems in Israel and North Africa. "We did it in 1948. Are we now going to make It too little and too late?" one leader asked.
Included in 1956'a $740,000 - plus goal Is $600,000-plus for the regu¬ lar campaign for all beneficiary agencies and $140,000—plus for the United Jewish Appeal Special Sur¬ vival FuncJ.

THE STORY BEHIND the in auguration of the Survival Fund was told by Joseph Cohan, dynam¬ ic and inspiring chairman o.f the last two campaigns In Toledo. To¬ ledo, which held ita campaign in December and January, haa ahown the highest percentage Increase in tht. country, when comparing its 1956 total with that of 1955.
"We poured many millions of dollars into the work of rescuing the remnants of our people after the Nazi annihilation of 6,000,000 Jews," Cohan explained. "We help¬ ed many who survived to come to the United States. Close to a mil¬ lion others foand refuge in Israel and we helped absorb them, con¬ tributing to the welfare funda needed while Israel was defending Itself against Arab Invasion in 1948.
"Now again Israel is In peril of being attacked. The Israeli people have the double responsibility of preparing to defend themselves against attack, while continuing the welfare program for all thetr pco;ple. In need of special help are the Immigrants who still have a distance to go on the road to in¬ dependence."
COHAN STRESSED that more than 80,000 Jews in North Africa feel that they have no future in that tension-ridden land and have registered for Immigration to Is¬ rael.
"The object of the Survival Fund is enabling 46,000 of them to go to Israel in 1966," he explained. "This (continaed (rom pakc 4)
