Dr. Jerome Folkman stated, "A measure of a community's sin¬ cerity in its spiritual commit¬ ment is ita response to human needs.

"God lias blessed us abundtmtly and we feel the obligation to share these blessings with our less for¬ tunate brethern in other parts of the world. The campaign of the United Jewish Fund and Council offers us an opportunity to give evidence of the sincerity ot our religious convictions. I know that we will make full use of this op¬ portunity.
