Th* spirit of self-enuring tion and moral rededica- *
ttm in which, fellow citizens of the Jewish Faith
across the country observe the High Holy Bays is
one from which, all of us can draw courage and in¬
spiration. It is the spirit.on which, the greatness of
the Jewish people has been boat.   And it is also the
spirit in which America's greatness has flourished.
So as we send greetings to our Jewish friends on
tbe coining of a New Year an their calendar, it is
well that we reaffirm the ethical principles and
traditional values we so proudly share.   As we pon-
_der the message of these solemn religious days, we
are reminded of the dynamic leadership which Jews
have always displayed in man's straggle for freedom.
Tinman dignity and justice.   And we find sustenance
and. strength not only in the significance of their be¬
liefs, but in the substance of their deeds.
May the New Year bring our fellow Americans of
the Jewish Faith nearer to the fulfillment of their
individual hopes,  and may it bring the world a just
and lasting peace.

noted that US Middle East

NEW YORK, (JTA) — The
selection of American
support for Israel as the
predominant issue to win
Jewish votes in the
Presidential election
campaign was deplored by
eight major .Jewish
organizations in a statement
issued here this week. Ap¬
peals "stating or suggesting
that the votes of all or most
Jews for parties or can¬
didates will or should be-
determined by this con¬
sideration alone are a*
disservice to the nation and
to "Jewish voters," the
statement said.
The statement, directed at
both major political parties,
was released as the election

their heaviest stress! on
Israel in addressing Jewish
voters. It emphasized that

A Rosh Hashonah Message From
The President Of The UJFC
As President of the United Jewish Fund and Council,
I want to wish for our entire community, a year of
health, happiness and peace. In thespirit of the Jewish
New Year, we join with our fellow Jews the world over
in reflecting on our deeds during the past year and in
rededicating ourselves to the traditions and values that
have preserved our people through the ages.
On the eye of the New Year 5733, the stakes and the
sacrifices for sheer survival continue to spiral for
many of our people. In Israel, the Soviet Union, in the
Arab lands,and elsewhere, this season of the year ;
offers no holiday from of deal and crisis,   y.
For us in turn -we know it well — there can be no
holiday froih;|he commitment of responsibility made
to fellow Jew? in need'-^wherever they may be. All of
us— whether^ked by destiny or duty—are reminded
of the capacities that are uniquely ours. During the
High Holy Days, the triple Call of the shofar calls for a'"'
. .new start: "Rise fresh and begin again." In challenge
to bitterness and denial, it voices what is our people's
companion blessing to shalom: "In the coming year
may you be inscribed in the Book of Life."
Thus we are reminded to renew our pledge to serve
and to give. In the year just closing our people
everywhere, especially here in Columbus, have risen
to heights of courage, service and generosity beyond
' anything believed possible. In that achievement is the
. demonstration of how much more we can and must
continue to do. Responding to the Jewish covenant "We
Choose Life," we exercise an option in courage that has
no limits.-
Our alertness to improving the quality of Jewish life,'
lifting the level of Jewish education and strengthening
the ties between the organized community and our
