The Canadian Jewish News, Thursday, September li, 1984-Page 25
The opportunity is given to each one of us to become involved in the Jewish history being made today. We have waited two millenia for this.
We must remember how from the small, embattled community of 600,000, in 1948, we have jn the short span of 36 years, grown to 3 and a half million; rescued many hundreds of thousands of Holocaust survivors and disadvantaged inhabitants of North African and Asian land; and created an open democratic society.
The Jewish way of life has many forms of being helpful to others. You all know the word "tzedekah". There is another more important word and greater mitzvah "gemilat chsodim". It's a good feeling to perform good deeds and do favours without necessarily wanting anything in return. Gemilat chsodim also means to help individuals and institutions to stand stronger on their own.
When we invest in Israel Bonds, we are investing in peace, in progress and in the future of our people for generations to come.
Your help was needed then. Your help is needed now. Without you Israel could never have come this far.
Support Israel. Buy Israel. Bonds.
