Inflation has affected the economy of Israel to such an extent that many parts making Chahukah so pleasurable will be unavailable for many Israeli children this year, says Goldie Burstein, Pioneer Women's Dol-lars-For-David chiairman.
The Dollars-For-David project was first conceived by Mrs. Burstein, In Toronto, three years ago in response to the aftermath of the Yom Kippur War. It has now become an established yearly event in many o t h e rCanadian and American cities as well.
"It is an opportunity which enables our children and their families to share their blessings at C h a n u k'a h with the children of Israel," explained Tillie Margolis, immediate past-president of ^Pioneer Women, Toronto Council.
As in the past two years, envelopes (orange, for the color of the light of the Chanukah candles) will be distributed to nearly all daytime and-after-hours religious schools and will be in the Nov. 21 issue of Ibe Canadian Jewish News.
The money will go to help make Chahukah a brighter and happier holiday for all the Israeli children being helped in a variety of ways by the efforts or the Pioneer Women's organization, explained Mrs. Burstein and Mrs. Margolis, in an interview with The CJN.
As well, they pointed to the positive side-effects that participation in the Dollars-For-David program has had on people here. It has been an educational process for Canadian children who are really learning the

meaning ot tzedakah by realizing that the joy they might be bringing some less fprtunate child in Israel is more important than receiving another toy for themselves or some money to buy yet more candy, they said.
In addition, many students have remembered their teachers at Chanukah by making a donation in their teacher's niame. (A special Dollars-For-David card is then sent to the teacher acknowledging the donation.)
Referring to a family's participation, they emphatically noted the added warmth felt at Chanukah celebrations when whole families made Dollars-For-David
their Chanukah project. "When the fa mi ly gathers to light their mendrah, they have the added joy in realizing they are helping to brighten the life of some youngster in Israel,'' said Mrs. Burstein.
They believe that the results of the last two years, which exceeded their greatest expectations, prove that the more personal touch of this program .has hit an emotional chord with people here.
Many donations from individuals, firms, schools and organizations were accompanied by letters of warmth explaining the
personal joy felt by sharing Chanukah with an Israeli child, explained Mrs. Margolis.
MONTREAL —
Almost unnoticed in the wave of hostile reaction to recent Quebec language legislation, the new Quebec "Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms'' was the isubject of discussion and debate at a community information meeting held recently by the Eastern Region of the Canadian Jewish Congress.
The charter, Quebec Bill 50, was passed in June, 1975. and added Quebec to the list of provinces already possessing this type of legislation.
The implications of the charter were reviewed by a distinguished panel of Montreal lawyers, them-; selves deeply concerned both with the affairs of the Jewish community and with human rights in general.
Herbert Marx, a constitutional expert and associate professor of law at the University of Montreal, explained that the new bill incorporates previous measures for the protection of civil liberties but t fi a t the charter now provides "more efficient protection, more efficient recourses for some of the contraventions of civil-liberties."
The second panelist, Harvey Crestohl. national
chairman of the League for Human Rights of B'nai B'rith, said the charter "marks the first time that -the legislative branch of this province made a serious attempt to establish a structure of human rights and freedoms."
The significance of the legislation, Crestohl said, is that the citizens of Quebec are no longer limited to claims based on "natural law, divine law or the common law," but
that there now exists a single formal recognition and listing of civil liberties.
A major provision, Crestohl noted, is the definition of discrimination provided by the bill. "The law now says that no one may be excluded, Astinguished or preferred by reason of race, color, sex, civil status, religion, political convictions, language, ethnic or national
origin^, or social ■ condition."
Of particular interest to the Jewish community is the clause prohibiting discrimination on grounds of language as well as the further provision that any ethnic minority has a right
to maintain and develop ■ its own cultural interests.
The question period following the panel presentations indicated that Quebec's language legislation. Bill 22, is still very much on the minds of thpse who were present.
Crestohl pointed oat that articles 51 and 52 of the charter stipulate that "any existing law stands' as it is and is not affected by the human rigfits law."BiU22is,therefiw, not affected by Bill 50.
