Beth Jacob Young Couples Meet
Pictured above are members of the Beth Jacob Young
Couples Group in one of their Saturday evening social get-
togethers at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Strapp.
The active group will be meeting on Sunday evening, Feb.
17, at the House of Tradition (Kosher Buckeye). The program
for the evening will consist of dinner, followed by a discussion
led by Rabbi Stavsky and Rabbi Capland of the House of
Tradition.
NEW YORK (JTA)-
Eleven American Orthodox
Jewish organizations have
written to' President Carter,
expressing opposition to the
inclusion, of women in any
national registration for reactivation of the draft. The
groups have formed an
Orthodox Jewish Coalition
on Registration of Women
for the .Selective Service
System, claiming, to represent the entire spectrum of
American Orthodox Judaism. __   .,
The President was- told
that "the highest rabbinic
authorities have ruled that
Jewish Law prohibits Jewish-
women from responding to
any form of conscription,
"which would place them in
an "irreconcilable and
unprecedented conflict between -the requirements of
their faith and the law of the
land."
Calling the idea one signaling "a fundamental and profound upheaval in the role of
women in our society," the
coalition urged that, at the
very least, such an issue
"should not be considered in
an- emotionally-charged
atmosphere of dramatic and
fast-moving foreign developments."
The coalition that addressed Carter consists of:

Allocation To Israel Scrutinized
WASHINGTON (JTA)-The Carter Administration has
formally notified Congress that the allocation it has made of
?1.985 billion for the next fiscal year is sufficient to "meet Israel's essential defense and* balance of payments needed in
the coming year." The sum for Israel is based on the same
level of military and economic aid—$1,785 billion—for the
current year, plus an additional $200 million in redeployment
aid, "  ' -
., While acknowledging that "Israel- will continue - to *aye
serious problems" for/'.the next year or two," theHouseFoir-"
eign Affairs Committee's subcommittee on the Middle East
has been told'that the U.S. support "is a genirous aid package."
Begin Rejects Urging? To Make Concessions
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Premier Meiiachem Begin rejected
"voices in Europe and sometimes in America" urging Israel
to make concessions because of events in Iran and Afghanistan and insisted that "because of the Islamic revolution and
because of the growing force of the USSR, Israel must be
stronger and more careful than ever." *
, Begin made those remarks to Israel Bonds leaders from
the United States and Canada'who had just reaffirmed their
pledge to raise $525 million in Bond sales this year "to help Is-
jrael meet the economic challenges of peace." the Premier
addressed the closing session of the 1980 Israel Bonds Prime
Ministers Conference at the Knesset Feb. 3. He told the participants that Israel would implement the autonomy plan for
the Palestinians provided that it adhered strictly to the
agreements reached at Camp David. "We say yes to the
Camp David agreements," he said.
Jewish Population Moving To Sun Belt
NEW YORK CJTA)—Continufng*ii pattern of recent years,
the Jewish population of the Unite! States is moving in increasing numbers from the Northeast to the Sun Belt—the
Southern and Western parts of the country. This trend is^
demonstrated in demographic reports that appear in the 1980
edition of the American Jewish Year Book.
Figures on world Jewish population in the Year Book show -
an increase of 110,000 over the previous year, or a total current world Jewish population of 14,396,000. However, Prof.
Leon Shapiro, of Rutgers, University, who compiled the world
statistics, cautions that "there are no precise data on Jewish
population in the various countries. The figures presented
represent the best possible estimates The figures are of
varying degrees, of accuracy and are subject to substantial
margins of error/'
The authors of the demographic report on Jewish population in the United States, Alvin Chenkin and Maynard Miran,
research consultant and associate respectively of the Council
of Jewish Federations, estimate that the current U.S. Jewish
population is 5,860,900, a modest Increase over the previous
year's figure of 5,780,960. The South and West comprise 30.2
percent of the total, as compared to 29.1 in 1978 and 27.8 in
, 1977. The Northeast and Northcentral states represent 69.8
*- bfercdnl lot the total Jewish filiation, as compared to[ ii$
' and 72.S pfercent in 1978 ahd 1977 respectively! Jews comprise
' 2.7 percent of the total population in the U.S.
