AREA RESIDENTS, DOCTORS LEAVE FOR ISRAEL
Community Responds To War With Help
By Bill Cohen
Chronicle Special Reporter
, As the war in the Middle
East dragged on into its
second week, the Columbus
Jewish' community con¬
tinued a campaign to help
Israel on several fronts.
As of Sunday night, an
emergency State of Israel
Bond campaign .had ..sur¬
passed 1.5 million dollars
and was headed toward the 2
million dollar mark, ac¬
cording to Hirsch Goldberg,
area director for Israel
Bonds. Goldberg said a
"children's rally" in support
of Israel at Temple Israel
netted additional dollars in
cash and pledges for bonds.
But Goldberg added that
much more money needs to
be raised. He said that
Frank Nutis, the bond
drive's Ohio Chairman for
communities, was told by
the Israeli Finance Minister
in New York City Sunday
night that 64Q million dollars
in .bonds must be raised by
American Jewry by the end
ofthejfear.        ,   !. '   :,;■
Goldberg said this week
has been designated
National Action Week, in an
effort to focus attention on
the need for the purchase of
more Israel Bonds. He added
that all Columbus
synagogues would be having
Shemini Atzereth bond
appeals.
Goldberg added that from

world. The theme running
through all the messages
and statements was that the
two Arab countries had
crossed the cease-fire lines
in an unprovoked and
premeditated assault on the
Jewish state. At the same
time, huge rallies continued
in various major cities
where waves upon waves of
demonstrators expressed
their solidarity with Israel.
In many cities, too, police
authorities took extra
precautions to guard Israeli
and Jewish and Arab in¬
stallations against attacks.
Throughout the United
States there were reports of
unprecedented'responses on
Oct. 9 and 10 as donations
poured in to meet the call for
$100 million in cash in the
next few days. Switchboards
were jamed in the offices of
the .United Jewish Appeal
and Israel Bond
Organization almost around
the clock. A UJA spokesman
said donations were pouring
into the national office at a
greater rate than expected:
He termed the response
unprecedented. A Bonds
spokesman termed the
response fantastic.
Meanwhile, a Warning
against giving to
unauthorized   . fund-raising
Pi
H
efforts for Israel being-<
conducted on the streets of
New York was issued by the
National Committee on
Control and Authorization of
Campaigns of the Jewish
Agency for Israel by its co-
chairmen, Mrs. Charlotte
Jacobson and Jack Weiler.
"Our committee," they said,
"is receiving information at
its headquarters at 515 Park
Avenue of such unauthorized
campaigns. We want to warn
the Jewish public that street
collections by individuals-.

committment to the State of

additional pledges, con¬
tributions, checks or cash
should be brought there.

the Columbus Jewish
Federation, which will
succeed the two former
organizations - the United

They're creating. And that's
thrilling."
That's the way Chaim
Feller, the new Rabbi at
OSU's Hillel Foundation,
sums up one of the reasons
he has come to work at
Hillel.
' Feller,says he sees some
bad trends in the in¬
stitutionalized Judaism of
the -adult world, and he
thinks the younger
generation wants something
different.
-   "The     synagogue
movement is spiritually
dead - across the board -
Orthodox, Conservative, and
Reform," Feller says. "It is

East war but the Ad¬
ministration's precise
position itself was left un¬
clear. This assessment came
after 10 Senators and nine
Representatives emerged
from a hurriedly summoned
bipartisan leadership
meeting at the White House
with President'Nixon and
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger to receive their
reports on the military
status and the diplomatic
activities concerned with it.
