operations in Israel, it extends
aid to Jews in 25 other countries
where the dollar has lost at least
10 percent of its old value. The
J DC finances the maintenance of
Soviet Jews and Jews from
Moslem countries, in Rome,
Vienna and France - who, for
one reason or another - cannot
proceed to Israel and are
awaiting immigration visas to the
United States, Canada and Latin
America. It helps feed thousands
of Jews in Rumania, mostly the
aged and sick, in free
soup-kitchens. It maintains
various relief programs in various
pans of the world where the
dollar has been reduced in value.
The same is true of ORT,
which is subsidized by J DC to
the extent of about $3,000,000
a year; also with regard to the
United Hias operations overseas.
All of these organizations will
either have to curtail their
programs in overseals lands other
than Israel, or they will have to
seek more funds in the United
States to make up for the loss in
the dollar value
THE JEWISH LIFELINE:
There can be no question of
curtailing Jewish emigration
from the Soviet Union; of
reducing the relief programs
which the J DC conducts for
needy Jewish communities
abroad, of closing down ORT
vocational training schools in
some countries where the dollar
is now worth less; or of
restricting the United Hias
operations abroad in helping
Jewish migration to Western
countries.
The budgets of 1973 of these
Jewish agencies were approved
long before the devaluation of
the dollar. These budgets must
be met, if the lifeline is to be
kept for the many thousands of
Jews who depend on aid from
American Jewry. Meeting these
budgets is possible only if Jews
in this country recognize how
the dollar crisis is affecting the
poorest of the poor, and increase
their contributions
proportionately to the United
Jewish Appeal, the source of
funds for the J DC. ORT, Hias
and other agencies engaged in
helping Jews abroad.
The difference between the
sums allocated for work in
European countries in 1973 by
the American Jewish agencies
affected by the present dollar
crisis and the needs resulting
from that crisis may reach as
high as $10,000,000. The sum
may not seem too high,
considering the generous giving
PASSOVER PROBLEM One
of the immediate problems faced
by J DC as a result of the
devaluation of the dollar is the
provision of matzos and other
Passover food to needy Jews in a
number of countries. JDC
provided Passover supplies last
year to Jews in Rumania and in
eight other countries. Another
urgent problem for JDC is to
meet the rapidly expanding
program of providing
relief-in-transit. The number of
beneficiaries from this program
has increased from 80,000 in
1971 to 138,000 in 1972 The
critical needs in this area could
suffer greatly in 1973 if the
financial gap created by the
devaluation of the dollar in
Europe is not covered.
It must be taken into
consideration that the JDC,
United Hias, ORT and other
agencies working in the field of
rescue, relief and reconstruction
abroad, have built their 1973
budgets on meeting minimum
essential requirements. Despite
the very remarkable
contribution of American Jewry
in financing the activities of
these agencies, the gap between
their needs and means - steadily
widening by unsettled political
events in the Middle East and in
Eastern Europe - remained
substantial even in 1972, when
the dollar was a full dollar
abroad. The devaluation of the
dollar now increases the gap to a
point when even priority services
may be difficult to meet,
including services to about
160,000 beneficiaries in Eastern
Europe

However, it can have a
catastrophic effect if not
realized. The victims will be the
many thousands of needy Jews
abroad dependent upon
American Jewish aid.
Fortunately the dollar has
not been devalued within the
United States. For Jews in this
country interested -in
maintaining the level of relief to
Jews overseas it is only a
question of increasing their
contributions to cover the
difference which the devaluation
of the dollar abroad has brought
about. The tradition of meeting
emergencies by increased
contributions has long been
honored by every Jew in this
country. It is hoped that in the
case of the present emergency
American Jewry will come
forward so that the 1973
programs of aid
