Charlotte Jewish Federati
On October 30, The Charlotte Jewish Federation celebrated
its 50th Anniversary and on that evening it “kicked off” its
1989 Campaign. On November 9, 23 we conmiemorated the 50th
Anniversary of Kristallnacht, the reason why our Federation
and UJA came to be. The information on these pages tells how
our contributions help. Together we can make the difference
for this generation and the next.
Born out of Kristallnacht,
the Nazi night of shattered
glass, central to the drama of
rescue in war-torn Europe and
the ingathering of nearly two
million immigrants into the
State of Israel, for 50 years,
UJA has been at the center of
Jewish commitment.
The challenge continues.
UJA helps Soviet Jews in
transit from the USSR. It pro
vides rent subsidies and mort
gage loans to help new immi
grants struggling with Israel’s
housing shortage.
It reaches out to Israelis in
neglected neighborhoods
through Project Renewal.
Orphaned Ethiopian teens
are educated at youth villages
throughout Israel. Medical
and agricultural aid is ex
tended to those still in
Ethiopia.
Innovative programs devel
oped by the Reform, Conser
vative and Orthodox move
ments for the education and
absorption of American immi
grants in Israel are funded by
UJA.
From the challenge of drain
ing the land’s malaria-infested
swamps to the creation of
rural settlements producing
agricultural wonders and high-
tech equipment, UJA/Federa
tion Campaign funds have
helped establish nearly 600
settlements throughout Israel.
The Campaign helps keep
Israeli agriculture competitive
— funding research and devel
opment on new crops for ex
port. At the same time, we’re
helping all of Israel’s set
tlements move toward re
gional development for sur
vived and success.
From a maternity ward for
World War II refugees in
Shanghai to current assist
ance with clothing, kosher
food and medical care for the
aging Jewish population of
Romania, for 50 years UJA
has provided the lifeline for
Jews in need around the world.
In Eastern Europe, UJA
provides care for Holocaust
survivors without family. In
Egypt, Campaign funds sup
ply matzoh and Passover wine
to the aged and dwindling
Jewish population.
Looking to the future, UJA
helps make possible Jewish
education in North Africa,
Eastern Europe and Latin
America.
Continuity in Jewish life is
no accident. It’s part of the
UJA commitment.
It has been established that
$1.4 million needs to be raised
during our ’89 Campaign in
order to meet the needs of our
community, Israel and around
the world. Your contribution
strengthens our community
while it builds a more secure
and vited future for Jewish life
worldwide. Meike your pledge
today!
Making the Connection
Funds that come to UJA
from local campaigns are sent
to Israel through the United
Israel Appeal (UIA), Inc.,
which monitors and controls
expenditures.
Most of UJA‘s overseas
allocation is channeled
through UIA to the Jewish
Agency for Israel. Your con
tribution helps absorb, edu
cate and settle new im
migrants, build f£irms and in
dustries in rural areas,
revitalize neglected neighbor
hoods through Project Re
newal, £uid support innovative
programs for troubled youth
and for the aging generation of
pioneers.
The Jewish Agency’s 1988-89
budget is $414 million. The
1989 UJ A/Federation Cam
paign is expected to provide
$275 million for the agency’s
overall budget and $21 million
for Project Renewal and the
Israel Education Fund. The
50 YEARS OF OUTREACH ~ Food and clothing provided by UJA
the difference for these young Jewish refugees in France during
World War II. Today the UJA/Federation Campaign helps thousands of
youngsters in Israel and in 33 countries around the world.

BUILDING THE JEWISH STATE — In 1950, new immigrants in Israel
walked barefoot in the mud following a snowstorm that hit Rosh Ha’ayin.
Since the creation of the State, the UJA/Federation Campaign has helped
settle nearly 2 million immigrants from Europe, Arab countries and around
the world.

PIONEERING ACHIEVEMENTS — This young Israeli worked the fields
in the early days of the State with a gun over his shoulder, ready against
attack. Even before the establishment of Israel, UJA/Federation Campaign
was helping establish agricultural settlements throughout the land.
