Ambassador Abba Eban, who is a political leader, author and historian and played a key diplomatic role in the founding of the State of Israel. Norman L, Traeger, general campaign chairman, and Alan Wasserstrom, associate general campaign chairman, noted that the Major Gifts Event is one of many fundraising events and activities scheduled for the 1988 Jewish Community Campaign. The 1988 Campaign goal is $6,450,000. Eban's remarks to the 90 people present focused on the relationship between Israel's development and Diaspora Jewry's role in shaping that development. He noted that the partnership between the people and the government of Israel and world Jewry is a unique one in modern world history — one that is still in its developmental stages. Eban indicated that decisions that affect the very nature of Israeli society should involve input from Jews throughout the world, not only those in Israel.

WASHINGTON (JTA) — The Reagan administration will try to push through by executive action the "right wing" social agenda it has been unable to get Congress to adopt, a Jewish spokesman warned last week. Rabbi David Saperstein, co-director and counsel of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, told the 200 women attending the 20th biennial World Affairs Conference of the Women's League for Conservative Judaism that the administration has given up on trying to achieve its goals through legislative means. "They will now turn to executive fiat and administrative regulations to win victories in such areas as abortion, school prayer and immigration, in which they have the full support of the nation's right wing forces," Saperstein said. As examples, he pointed to the continued reduction of federal support for family planning and the order to public funded health facilities not to provide information on abortion. He urged the Women's League members from across the nation to "be ever vigilant" to prevent this effort from succeeding. The Women's League cited its 1982 resolution opposing any move to stop funds or services oh abortion. "Reverence for life is the cornerstone of our Jewish heritage," the resolution said. "Since abortion in Jewish law is primarily for the mother's physical or mental, . welfare, we deplore the burgeoning casual use of abbr-; B'nai B'rith Youth Organization Plans Nov. 8 Membership Recruitment Night The B'nai B'rith Youth Organization's (BBYO's) Membership Recruitment Night is planned for Nov. 8 from 5-8 p.m. at the Leo Yassenoff Jewish Center.

"BBYOers are eagerly awaiting the event for the fun and friends it is sure to bring," says Jenny Goldstein and Jeff Bornstein, Membership Recruitment Night chairpersons. "But just what is BBYO? Another boring youth group? Adult run-and-planned programs? A purposeless youth group? No!," they say. B'nai B'rith Youth Organization is made up of BBG (B'nai B'rith Girls) and AZA (Aleph Zadik Aleph), the boys' division. Each division is made up of chapters, and currently Columbus has six chapters (three , of each), with a total of more than 150 members. AZA and BBG have similar, but not identical, "folds."
