However, it really is a day made up from all the days of Charlie Brown, from Valentine's Day to baseball season. It includes moments that reflect feelinp ranging from wild optimism to utter'despair.

NEW YORK (JTA)-Na- tional and local Jewish organizations are trying to assess the impact on the Jewish community of the massive budget cuts proposed by President Reagan and to devise means of dealing with this new situation. But although the Administration will not formally introduce in Congress until March 10 its proposed budget for the 1982 fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, in a survey it conducted, found that most organizations expect many of their programs to be hit, particularly those dealing with the poor, the elderly, the young. This is because Reagan's Administration has already announced plans to cut $41.4 billion from 83 federal pro grams in 1982 and make even deeper cuts in succeeding years. The Republican-controlled Senate is expected to attempt to pass the President's budget as swiftly as possible, but there are signs that the Democratic-controlled House may seek to delay action in an effort to prevent some of the cuts. Meanwhile, Reagan announced last week that he wants to cut another $3 to $5 billion so that the Administration can hold to its goal -of a federal spending ceiling of $695.5 billion in 1982. No one is against taking steps to "tighten up programs," Albert Chernin, executive vice president of the National Jewish Community Relatidns Advisory Council (NJCRAC), said. He said the NJCRAC has not "arrived at a definitive judg- JERUSALEM,- (JTA)—Former President Ephraim Katzir has urged Israel's Jews and Arabs to work together to develop the country since the fate of both groups is linked to the fate of the nation. Katzir spoke to some 500 Jews and Arabs at a Mapam-organized convention here aimed at improving Jewish-Arab relations in Israel. Victor Shemtov, Secretary General of Mapam, said the meeting was called in response to "warning signals" of mounting tensions between the groups. He cited as examples expressions of racial hatred, an anti-Arab report prepared by a senior Interior Ministry official, and a statement attributed to Minister of Commerce and Industry Gideon Patt telling Arabs who were unhappy in Israel to "take a taxi across the bridge to Jordan." The meeting ended with the establishment of an Arab-Jewish Public Council and the scheduling of a larger convention this spring. A..jubilant celebration in. honor of the 33rd anniversary of the Creation of the State of Israel will be held simultaneously in some 1000 theatres in the United States, Canada and abroad on Mon-_ day, May 11 and is expected to raise upwards of $50,000,000 for educational institutions based in Israel. The event, Celebration 33/ is the result of a unique collaboration among the State of Israel, a vast spectrum of' the performing arts, the world of business and 18 international charitable organizations which support educational institutions based in Israel. Approximately 500,000 people world-wide, by their purchase of tickets at $100 per person, will be sharing an historic occasion while participating in this gala cultural and entertainment event.

In addition to the exclusive premiere of "The Chosen" there will be a one-time-only showing of a specially produced "entertainment-on- film" starring some of the greatest talents of the performing arts in a mosaic of poetry, humor, dramatic literature, music and song.

The NJCRAC's Commission on Equal Opportunity and the Committee on Public Issues of the Council of Jewish Federations (CJF) will hold a joint meeting here March 13 to assess the "implications" of the Administration proposals and to decide "what posture" to take toward them. He said that along with assessing the impact on the Jewish community, the "broader implications" for the entire country will also be discussed. The CJF will discuss the issue at its quarterly board meeting in Washington April 8-10. Locally, the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York (FJP) has scheduled a meeting March 2 to "develop a priority list of i major programs to at least minimize the cuts," according to David Liederman, the FJP's director of government relations. He said the FJP plans to work together with the federations of the other large cities, all of which have similar problems. The proposed cuts Would have "a serious impact on a lot of programs that we care about," Liederman said. He explained that they affect social services, senior centers, day care centers, home care for the elderly, child care programs, in fact, "almost every major program we have." Rabbi David Cohen, executive director of the Metropolitan New York Coordinating Council on Jewish Poverty, said there were an estimated 250,000 Jewish poor and near-poor in New York City. He said most of these Jews are the near- poor; the elderly: large families, such as the • Hasidim; and new immigrants, particularly Soviet Jews. It is the near-poor that the budget cuts will hurt most, since the essence of the Reagan proposals is to reduce the number of people eligible for social programs. "That's where our people find them-- selves," Cohen said. As an example. Cohen pointed to the Administration's plan to reduce those eligible for food stamps by lowering the maximum earnings a person could make and still be able to receive the stamps. Many elderly Jews on Social Security who have been getting food stamps will then be no longer eligible, he added. ^,,;K3?Wf m m «R \ r f&msw
