UJA-ISF Drive well ahead of last yean Chairman
TORONTO -
Contributions to the 1972 United Jewish Appeal-1sjiael Special Fund campaign arc running substantially ahead of last year, campaign chairman PhjIGranov sky reported this week. To date, the total is in excess of S2 million.
Granovsky said virtually all of the 20,000 cards to be canvassed have been distributed and more than 2,000 have been signed and returned. He said that on a card for card basis, giving is running substantially ahead of last year. In some cases increases range from 100 to 300%.
The campaign got a big lift from three major events: -
*A scries of 10 Special Gifts parlor meetings for husbands and wives which were addressed b\ Paul and Shoshana Beer, of Jerusalem. He is director of the guest department of Keren Hayesod.
♦The women's division UJA Day, attended
by more than 400, and the follow-up telethon.
*A B'nai B'rith phone-a-thon covering the Metropolitan and Mercantiledivisions.^
Said Jack Rose, chairman of the special gifts committee, "the enthusiasm^ith which the Beers were greeted and the warm hospitality extended to them was a great tribute to their popularity".
Al Green, chairman of Special Gifts, said the parlor meetings w ith the Beers, conducted over a two-week period, represented the greatest single concentrated effort ever undertaken by this division. "It's a most effective way of campaigning." he added.
More than 60 B'nai B'rith members from nine lodges conducted a phone-a-thon on two nights to reach unaffiliated members of the community. Morris Flicht and Max Aiken, who supervised the phone campaign, reported excellent results with good increases in giving. The campaign went so well that onl.. two nights were required to contact
Beloved torah teacher dies
By STANLEY ROSSBY TORONTO -
"Whosoever labors in the Torah for its own sake, merits many things . . . the whole world is indebted to him," said Rabbi Meir (Aboth, VI I).
Julius Marcus not only labored in the Torah for its own sake, he introduced many others to this labor of lo\e.
On a recent Saturday afternoon, on his way to the weekly session of the Talmud study group he conducted at the Beth Tzedec Synagogue, he collapsed in front of the building and was pronounced dead on arri\al al the hospital. When he set out for the long walk in the fiercely cold and windy weather. Julius Marcus was dri\en b> the power that motivated his life. b\ the irresistible urge to gi\c and share Jewish learning and wisdom.
U was his devotion to Jewish learning and tradition, combined with love
for people, that sent him on the path of a unique adventure to organize privately two Talmud study groups at the Beth Tzedec and Beth Sholom Synagogues. In an atmosphere of apathy and disbelief, he achieved his goal with gentle persuasion and the humble friendliness characteristic of a "tal-mud chacham".
The "open door" policv brought together at one table people from different backgrounds, former yeshiva students and those who knew little more than the Alef-bcth. orthodox Jew s and non-observers, professionals and businessmen.
Julius Marcus was a good navigator in the "Sea of the Talmud". Enlightened and at the same time traditional, he managed to steer his students awav from the rocks of shallow negativism, yet without curbing the spirit of free inquiry which permeates the great Talmudic dispute.
the prospects instead of the scheduled three.^
The desire of Toronto's Jewish women to be recognized as UJA contributors on their own is clearly indicated in the large~at-tendanre at the women's division UJA Day, according to Mrs. Helen Gross, chairman of the event. The presence of Dr. Julia Libman, who emigrated from Soviet Russia in November, stressed the need for maximum support for the campaign to help Israel absorb Russian Jews. Mrs. Gross stated.
Mrs. Esther Exton and Mrs. Rose Gran-atstein. co-chairmen of the women's telethon, said close to l.X) women, working in two shifts, conducted the phone campaign to women last Sunday and produced'terri-fic" results. The telethon continues on sun-day, March 5.
Co-operation is the keyword for the campaign in the Trades & Professions division; report the co-chairman David Goldberg and Willie Rosengarten. Private homes and business premises are being offered "gener^ ously and cheerfully" for meetings.
One unusual meeting took place in the steam room of the Executive Club, hosted by Leonard Simpson for the shoe group. Mr. Simpson is co-chairman of the group along with Eddie Schmeiser and Fred Fine. Despite the steamy atmosphere, many cards and checks were signed at the meeting.
There is considerable activity on behalf of the UJA-ISF this year in the academic world. Prof. Arthur Kruger, of the University of Toronto, and Prof. Sydney Eisen, of
York University, are co-ordinators of the campaign on the two major campuses, community colleges and OlSE.
March will be a busy month for organisations and lahdsmanshaften as they swing into high gear on behalf of the campaign.*, A major event is a banquet of the Stashiver Society, at Beth Torah Synagogue^n Saturday, March II. Izzy Brown, the president, says this will be the major fund-raising activity of his organization.
Charles Goldfinger, UJA .chairman of the Zaglembier Society, reports two-man teams of canvassers have been conducting a face-to-face campaign with their prospects and says giving is much above last year. "There's no doubt," he s^id, 'lhat our members want to do everything possible to help settle the Russian Jews in Israel;"
