The Coliuiibus Jewish Federation is currently involved in a massive cash mobilization drive to help meet the humanitarian needs of the people of Israel and Jews in need everywhere. Payment of 1978 United Jewish Fund Campaign pledges is urged before the end of the year, in order to gain a 1978 tax advantage. The local cash collections campaign has included letters and personal phone calls to all those individuals with outstanding.balances, mailgrams and "cashgrams"^. sent to those with large balances, and special collection committees established within each, campaign division.

Over 3000 UJA Delegates Hear Prime Minister Begin Speak Climaxing three emotion- filled days which included moments of both sorrow and celebration, _ome 3,000 delegates, (including. six Columbusites) to the United Jewish Appeal 40th Anniversary National Conference heard Israel Prime Minister Menachem Begin, in a message filmed in Jerusalem on the eve of- his departure for Olslo, forcefully restate Israel's commitment to work for peace within the framework of the Camp David agreements. "We are true and faithful to ihe Camp David agreements," he declared, "and we want to carry them oijt as we wrote them and as ' we signed them. We have made great sacrifices for the sake of peace, and we want peace with all our heart," he said. Representing the Columbus ' Jewish Federation at the Conference were Mr. and Mrs. Bernard K. Yenkin, > (Mr. Yenkin is .General Campaign Chairman of the 1979 United Jewish Fund' Campaign); Gordon Zacks, ; , a past General Campaign, j Chairman who is now active/ in the UJA; Joyce L. Zacks, Women's > Division Chairwoman; Ben - M. Mandelkorn, Federation Executive Director; and Charles R. Schiffman, Federation Assistant Director. Begin's message included a call for active support by American Jews of "Project Renewal", a comprehensive social rehabilitation plan for 300,000 people living in distressed immigrant urban areas in Israel. Project Renewal, a drive for funds over> and above regular annual contributions, is a cornerstone of the UJA 1979 campaign. Mr. Begin linked Project Renewal with prospects for peace by envisioning an Israeli society living in human dignity as well as in peace in this and future generations. The conference delegates, who had joined in a tribute to the late Golda Meir at Sabbath services yesterday, Stood for a long moment of silence in her memory before * the banquet and, following Mr. Begin's message, heard an eloquent address by Elie Wiesel, the noted author^ poet and philosopher, celebrating the, continuity of Jewish communality represented by the 40-year history of the Asher Nairn Urges Carter Administration Return To Its Role As Impartial Mediator United Jewish Appeal. "When one Jew Helps his people," Mr. Weisel said, "he helps more than his people. Alone, the spark dies before it reaches the candle; together, they kindle the flame." The four decades, he noted, have transformed the tragedy of Jews as victims into the current reality of Jews as "lions, princes, ambassadors." He called for greater investment of Jewish energies in creativity applied to areas still to be explored, projects still to be fulfilled. UJA National Chairman Irwin S. Field, presiding at the banquet, characterized the organization, founded in 1939 in reaction to the infamous f2 Kristallnacht fl attack by the Nazis on the lives and property of German Jew, as a growingly strong and encircling lifeline. "The creation of the United Jewish Appeal 40 years ago was an act of faith," he stated, "It began as a reaction to adversity, a. means to meet a crisis, and had grown to represent the link in the - chain of generations;, a people living, by deed, g\ving( pf heart and (CONTINUED ON PAGE 8) In response to the Egyptian government's recent efforts to rewrite the Camp David Accords, the Hon. Asher Nairn, Consul General of Israel, presented Israel's views of the stalemated peace negotiations at a combined leadership meeting of the Community Relations Committee /and the Board of Directors of the Columbus Jewish Federation on Tuesday evening, Dec. 19, at Heritage Tower. Mr. Nairn took issue with the recent Carter Administration statements which blame Israel for the current impasse in peace negotiations. He urged that the Carter Administration return to its former role as an impartial mediator in the peace negotiations. The stepped-up pressure on the Israel government to bow to United States and Egyptian demands is contradictory to the role of a mediator. Mr. Nairn noted that his country was extremely disturbed at the Administration's remarks since Israel accepted the, -UsS.-proposed • peace treaty draft on Nov. 21, and there was no Administration 'criticism' of Egypt's rejection of it. Consul General Nairn reiterated that "Israel is willing to sign the Camp David Accords immediately as they were painstakingly negotiated and drafted by the legal and technical experts of both countries with United States assistance at Blair Hou_e." The Accord, according to Mr. Nairn, "represents . a significant achievement over earlier efforts to convene a Geneva conference." That approach, explained Mr. Nairn, "could never succeed since it required all' the parties of the conflict to attend ahd be willing to negotiate a peaceful solution to the Middle East crisis. At this moment, Egypt is the only one of the Arab confrontation states that has agreed to negotiate with Israel; all the others, including Jordan and Saudi Arabia, the so-called leaders of the moderate Arab wing, have condemned the Camp David Accords at the recent Bagdad Conference. By designing' the Camp David's 'one-piece-at-a-time' approach -represents a dramatic opportunity for real peace and as a result, Israel agreed to make major concessions at Camp David in order to bring the 'accord' to fruition.!' Mr. Nairn continued, "Every demand that Egypt made at Camp David, Israel has agreed to fulfill, as part of the- accord. For example, Egypt demanded and Israel agreed to return the entire Sinai Peninsula in cluding Sharm-el-Sheik, all the oil fields, air bases, and to remove all her settlements from the Sinai. In return Egypt agreed that it would sign an unconditional peace agreement with Israel and establish full diplomatic, economic and trade relations between the two countries," said Mr. Nairn. In recent weeks,- the Egyptian government / has presented . new demands which, according to Mr. Nairn, make a mockery of the Camp David Accords. According to Israel, Article VI of the Accords represented the heart of the agree-' ment. This is the 'priorities clause' which calls for the Egyptian-Israeli accord to take precedence over the nearly fifty treaty obliga- Aslu'r Nairn, tions that Egypt has with other Arab nations!
