Flag Day

It\’s a fact of life: Israel\’s blue and white is a red flag for the fanatics. Wave it, and they are likely to charge.

Earmarked for Israel

The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles has launched a Crisis Fund campaign designed to raise $12 million in emergency relief to address the deteriorating situations in Israel and Argentina. The announcement came just as Federation President John Fishel and Chairman Jake Farber returned from a two-day visit to Israel, as part of an emergency 40-member delegation assembled by The Federation\’s parent organization, United Jewish Communities (UJC).

Federations Answer the Call

In a campaign reminiscent of one undertaken during the 1973 Yom Kippur War, when Israel\’s survival was at stake, the North American federation system is hoping to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for Israel in the coming months.

Robert Schrayer, chair of the United Jewish Appeal Federation Campaign of the United Jewish Communities (UJC), said the situation in Israel now \”may be even more drastic than things were in 1973.\”

\”It\’s different because it\’s a different kind of conflict, but just as serious, if not more so,\” he said.
