Friedman, Herbert A. Conference message to United Jewish Appeal

workers. 21 June 1957.

ABE HYMAN:

[00:00] My fellow colleagues in the United Jewish Appeal, I am

Abe Hyman the new Executive Vice Chairman of the United Jewish

Appeal. As you've undoubtedly heard from Shalom, we've called

you together this afternoon to discuss with you the windup of

this current great campaign in which we're engaged, and your

responsibility in this windup phase of our campaign. You'll hear

from our Executive Vice Chairman, Rabbi Herbert Friedman, and

from Shalom about what is expected of you, the kind of work you

will have to do in order to have this campaign the success it

must be. I want to merely make a few introductory remarks.

I regret very much that although I've been here in the United

Jewish Appeal now for nearly three months, I have not had the

pleasure, and the privilege, and the opportunity [01:00] of

meeting all of you. I look forward to the time when I can see

you, and know you, to speak to you personally. However, I cannot

say that I'm not acquainted with you. I know you from the many

reports of yours that I have read, and I know something of the

quality of the work and of the intensity of your devotion to

this common cause of ours. Now, every campaign, military and

others, is composed of separate engagements. You don't have one

battle and win a war. You have individual engagements which

compose the entire campaign.

Now, recently we've had a very important engagement in which all

of you -- every one of you who is now listening to me -- played

a very vital role. I refer to the [Cash?] conference which was

held here in New York City on June eighth, [02:00] and June

ninth just a short time ago. This phase of the campaign, this

Cash conference was, in my judgment, a success from every

standpoint. Everybody who was there communicated their feelings

about this in one way or another. They all felt -- they all went

away from this Cash conference that the conference was a great

success. We succeeded in getting an attendance in excess of 700

persons, and I believe that we raised as a result of the

concerted effort that was put in connection with this Cash

conference a sum of about 14 million dollars in cash. I'm sure

you will be pleased to hear what was said at this conference,

which relates particularly to your work.

The Cash conference chairmen were, as you know, [03:00] Sam

[Rothberg?] and Phil [Lown?]. And naturally, in the course of

the addresses a great deal of praise was heaped upon them for

the success that they contributed to this conference. And Sam

Rothberg got up, and he said, "Look, the success for this

conference is not due to my efforts. It is due to the field men

who worked so hard and so energetically onto the very capable

leadership of Shalom [Santit?]." And when he said that,

everybody applauded him. This was a tribute meant to you, and I

know from where I sat that it was a tribute that you well

deserved. I hear it brooded about the office that it appears

that this campaign of 1957 is going to be a successful one. I am

confident that if you work hard -- as hard as you did [04:00] on

this Cash Conference during the coming months -- during the

windup phase of this campaign, that this appearance of which I

hear so much will become a reality.

Thank you, and the next person that you will hear from is from

our very dynamic Vice Chairman Rabbi Herbert Friedman.

and the next person that you will hear from

Thank you Mr. Hyman, and good afternoon gentlemen. We're sitting

here looking at the figures of the campaign to date,

approximately the middle of June, and I'd like to share them

with you so that you have an overall perspective of where we

stand. Roughly speaking, and on the average, the campaigns

appear to be about three quarters finished. That is, the

communities have reported in about 75 million dollars raised.

Seventy-five million dollars raised by them on the regular

campaign means that [05:00] approximately the same 100 million

dollars will be raised, which they raised last year. These are

the reports which they forward to the Council of Federations and

Welfare Funds, and from every indication it appears that the

regular campaign this year will produce almost mathematically

the identical result that the regular campaign did last year.

Therefore, if they report that they have already finished 75

million dollars worth of pledges, we have a right to assume that

some communities are three quarters of the way finished. This

certainly does not mean that each campaign is 75% finished. As I

said, this is an average figure. The particular campaign for

which you might be responsible might be 100% done, or another

campaign for which you are responsible might only be 50%

finished. The average is three quarters of the way. And on this

is an average figure The particular campai

three quarter mark, we take stock and we see [06:00] that it

will come almost within the dollar for dollar figure of the

regular campaign proceeds of a year ago.

This, by the way, should be very encouraging to us because there

are many people who said that the regular campaign proceeds

would fall off considerably as we racked up these very large

gains in the extra campaign or the rescue fund. I'm happy to say

that is not occurring, and I would hope that we could get to the

end of this year showing that the regular campaign actually does,

in dollar terms, hold the line with the regular campaign of last

year, and that the ERF would then be all extra money. Now, the

ERF stands at 27 million at the moment. This is a gross figure,

and it's unadjusted, and I wouldn't want to be held to it down

to the last decimal point, but I think it's close enough within

the variations that we'll have to make for it [07:00]

bookkeeping-wise to indicate that we stand now at three quarters

of the way in the regular campaign, at 27 million in the rescue

fund. Is there for 27 million, three quarters of where the

rescue fund will ultimately wind up? If so, it would appear that

the rescue fund might have another eight or nine million dollars

in pledges to go in it. We would like to think that the rescue


offf considerably asas wwweee raracked up these vevery

in the regular cacacampmpmpaiaiaigngngn, attt 2227 million in t

ere for 27 million three quarters of where

fund could reach a 35, or 36, or 40 million dollar figure. Right

now this is where it stands.

The third figure I should like to give you is on Cash. The

regular campaign receipts from all campaigns -- you know how we

keep these, and from all years -- the regular campaign receipts

are running two million dollars ahead of last year. Now, this is

a great source of satisfaction, because again [08:00] people say

that with the rescue fund taking all the emphasis, the regular

fund might take a beating. We're two million dollars in cash

ahead on the regular fund, but I want to utter a warning. It's

quite clear to all of us who know the way a campaign works, and

if we're two million dollars ahead now, there's no guarantee at

all that that gain won't be eaten up as the months roll on, and

as we begin to absorb the losses which might occur. Therefore,

let's take the satisfaction in knowing that we're two million

ahead, but let's not be so cocky about it that we think that

automatically it will roll towards the end of the year at that

ratio.

One of the reasons, I think, by the way that we're two million

dollars ahead in the regular fund is that the ERF fund shows a


twwo o million dollarars ahaha eaead of last year.. No

rce of satisfaction, bebbecause again [08:00]

very bad collection record. I'm sorry to have to temper the good

report with the bad. I simply want you to know that we have

collected less cash at this point [09:00] on the ERF than we did

last year at this point on the SSF. Now follow me. The money

that's come in on the rescue fund so far this year, even though

the rescue fund is many millions of dollars ahead in pledges

over the special fund last year, but the cash that's come in on

the rescue fund this year, up to June 15th is less than the cash

that we had in last year on the survival fund up to June 15th.

That's a very shocking and upsetting thing, because it's this

extra cash in the rescue fund that they've been counting on in

Israel to help handle the mass immigration problem. We simply

haven't been providing it. And when Abe Hyman talked about the

windup on the campaign, I certainly would like to stress the

windup on the cash, particularly in that ERF column on the

ledger. Just to finish the report [10:00] by the way -- because

we're all curious -- the SSF of last year stands at almost 15

million total cash that's come in, which means about four more

million in cash is outstanding still to be brought in on the

1956 survival fund. So, we've got all the cash on the '57 rescue

fund to try to get, and still four million leftover on the

survival fund of last year to try to get, and I want to urge you

done, and the cash has to be gathered.

Before I turn the microphone over to him, I wanted to give you a

few figures on what the immigration picture in Israel looks like

now. And I think you should have these figures down with pencil

and paper, because I think they are your stock and trade, and

they are the story that you have to tell. [11:00] During the

month of May, 12,000 immigrants entered Israel. During the month

of June, which is not yet finished but we can take a projection

of what the figures will be, there will be a slight fall off,

but we think it will be 10,500. Now, that's a slight fall off

from 12,000, but by God, 10,000 within one month is no small

group to deal with. Therefore, for the first six months of the

year, to the end of June -- and I'm projecting ahead for the

next 10 days, I think we won't be wrong -- for the first six

months of the year there have come into Israel 53,000 people,

which means that if anybody ever needed any corroboration for

the fact that we were telling the truth or speaking our

estimates carefully when we said that 100,000 people would be

required for the year 1957, well 53,000 is the actual total


thiinkn you should hahaveee thehese figures downn wi

he year there hhhavavaveee cococomememe intttooo Israel 53,000

that if anybody ever needed any corroborat

[12:00] for the first six months already. And therefore, the

immigration is running at this incredibly high rate, and keeps

running at that rate, doesn't slacken off, and there's no reason

to suppose it will.

There are a couple of interesting side lights, I can't give you

all the details of this, but I think it should do your hearts

good just as Jews interested in this now, not just as

professional field men, to know that in the last five months of

the immigrants who've come into the country, over 1,000 of them

-- actually it's about 1,100 or something -- have higher

academic degrees from higher universities of Europe. Now, notice

what quality immigration that means. There are over 400 doctors

who have come into Israel in the last five months. That's

fantastic. There are hundreds of engineers, and architects, and

journalists, and professional men as I say about 1,100 who

possess [13:00] higher degrees from higher academic institutions

of learning of the European continent. Now that's a very

precious kind of immigration coming into the country. That's

high quality. That's important, people, to continue to try to

service with money and means to make the absorption process work

to their satisfaction.

nd of immigration coming into the country

The last interesting little statistic I'd like to give you is at

the beginning of the year there were studying in the Hebrew

schools of Israel, in the Ulpanim, where the professional men

take that quick hurry up course -- the four, five month course

to learn the Hebrew language so that they can integrate into the

life of the country -- there were studying in the Ulpanim in

Israel at the beginning of this year in January 2,000 persons.

There are now registered in the Ulpanim in the country 5,000

persons. That means that on that high quality level of

immigrants, there are 3,000 more people [14:00] who are taking

this speed up course in Hebrew because they have to have it for

use in the law courts, and in the government offices, and in

high army posts, and in all the positions which they're

occupying which add to the strength of the country.

So, this is no joke. And this is no ordinary immigration. This

is one of those special, quality, extraordinary things that we

are delighted to see. But just as delighted as we are to see it,

so does it represent an enormous headache. And about five

minutes before we got on the telephone for this hook up, I got a

cable from [Dov Joseph?] in Jerusalem, and that's the last thing

hose special, qqquauaualililitytyty, extrrraaoaordinary things

ed to see But just as delighted as we are

I'd like to read to you. We discussed it just five minutes

before coming onto the phone. He writes a lot of things about

refunding loan, and trying to borrow money from banks, and so on,

but he goes on to say this: "In these circumstances, it is

vitally important that efforts [15:00] be made. Collect cash

unabated. July, August. Otherwise, position those months will be

catastrophic." That's a strong word for him to use. "Stop. Must

therefore urge you before leaving make extraordinary

arrangements, special efforts, get cash, etc., etc.. We will

carry on the absorption of the addition immigration which will

continue regardless of the summer heat." In other words, what

he's trying to say is that he knows perfectly well that here in

America there's a tendency to slacken off during July and August.

He's begging us not to because they won't slacken off there. The

rate of immigration will continue.

He mentioned in the cable that I should do this and that before

leaving. He referred to the fact that I'm leaving in about 10

days to go to Israel where there are many, many problems that

must be discussed, and I would like to bring [16:00] with me a

very, very courageous and inspiring report to them. I'm going to

tell them how well you've done, really. Not boastfully, but in a

unflagging zeal. I want them in Israel to know how hard you

worked. I would like to be able to tell them in addition that as

hard as you worked in the first six months, that July and August

will not be periods in which you will take advantage of any

normal opportunity to relax, but that you will appreciate what

they are doing over there, and that you will try to match it by

doing everything that you can here. Now the practical

proposition of the follow up in each community is lined up here

in front of Shalom's desk. Shalom has done a heroic job this

year. We're just [17:00] very grateful to him. And I would like

you to be very close and special attention to him as he goes

down city by city, town by town, man by man with you, urging you

to the windup, this cash follow up, and this realization of how

a tail end is the end that we want to watch so carefully because

it's ours. Shalom, I'm very happy to turn the telephone over to

you.

SHALOM SANTIT:

Gentlemen, just a few remarks before I get into the heart of the

subject. One is that this year, you have been asked to stay in

your areas later than usual. No man was allowed to take his

vacation before July the 26th, which is a late date. Also, some

of the men in residence [18:00] have been allowed to stay longer

in the communities at the request of the Executive Directors of

the various communities. All of them practically have told me

over the telephone that they have large amounts outstanding in

values of last year, and in small occurrence, which makes it

much more difficult to obtain, and therefore the men were left

in residence. And they were not exaggerating. You men in

residence know of the outstanding values in your communities.

You know that Chicago has a tremendous amount of money

outstanding. Probably close to a million and a half. You know

that Los Angeles has a million or more outstanding. You know

that Boston has the same type of outstanding balance. All along

the line, there are large balances outstanding in the community

where you are in residence. It is important and essential for

you, who may at one time or another [19:00] during the month of

July be practically the only man in the community working --

actually working -- on the campaign to see to it that the effort

in those large communities does not lag. And this takes in not

only Chicago, Los Angeles, but Kansas City, and the Washington,

and the Baltimore, and wherever you may be.

Now, I intend to mention almost every area, and almost every man.

And please understand, I am not fault finding. I am not trying

to tell you that you have not done well in your areas. You have.

All I'm trying to do is fact finding. I'm trying to point to the

work that is ahead of you without any derogatory reference to

you, or trying to argue with you that you have not done well.

When I mention your name, when I mention names of communities,

or amounts outstanding, it is no reflection [20:00] on your work.

It is simply a matter of pointing out the job ahead of you that

has to be done in the few weeks left, which you will be in your

areas.

Now, Mr. [Aaronson?], Ansonia, Connecticut is half finished.

There are about 20,000 outstanding in Danbury, 21,000 in New

Britain. These campaigns must be completed, or you lose out on

them.

Mr. [Bassick?], you have 14 communities in your assignment. Out

of the 14, four are in fundraising. Ten have not been started.

In the four that are in fundraising, three of them have large

outstanding values in last year. Now, I'm pointing to it in

order to make you feel what kind of tremendous job there is

Mr. [Boris?], (inaudible), Connecticut barely started. New

Milford is untouched. [21:00] There are substantial balances

outstanding in Southington and Torrington. Go to it.

Mr. Jason. Columbia, Sedalia, Poplar Bluff, Missouri, not

started of yet. Substantial amounts outstanding in central Iowa,

Leavenworth, Kansas, St. Joseph in Springfield, Missouri. This

has to be completed. [Suzanna Maria?]'s not started yet. There

are substantial balances outstanding in Alpena, Ann Arbor, Bay

City, Flint, and Saginaw, Michigan. Evansville, Lafayette, Terre

Haute, Indiana. Port Huron, Pontiac, Michigan. You've done very

well in the large area that you're in, but there's a great deal

of windup to do. You are built for endurance; you're a husky guy.

Go to it.

[Hyrum Friend?]. Great Barrington, Massachusetts has not yet

started. There are substantial sums outstanding in Holyoke,

Pittsfield. This, in addition to your greatest headache, Norwich,

Connecticut, where a lack of leadership is hindering your

campaign. The 24,000 dollars outstanding in Norwich are in great

danger. Hyrum, I know that you are watching it and that you are

working on it.

Milton [Goldner?]. A substantial amount is outstanding in almost

all of the small communities. Account particularly for the

allotment you would reach, but a fair job has been done.

(inaudible) for the last few years. Get the cash. A very good

job has been done in Westfield. Get the cash there.

Bob [Herman?]. There's 60,000 dollars outstanding in Albany. I

George [Keats?]. You're new on the staff. And you have inherited

an area. But Muskogee of Oklahoma -- don't mind me if I

pronounce these outlandish names wrong -- has not been started

as yet, and there is still a good bit of work in Oklahoma city

zone.

[Maury Cayman?]. Chattanooga has 12,000 dollars outstanding. The

12,000 dollars in Chattanooga is very valuable. It's probably

our money. According to the agreement to the community, this is

our money. There are small sums outstanding in a number of small

communities. Now is the time to get it.

Harry [Cartchner?]. An excellent job has been done in Alcentra

and in Ontario, particularly on the Emergency Rescue Fund, but

there's still 3,000 dollars outstanding in Alcentra in the

regular campaign. Now, that may be a small sum, but it's

important. This [24:00] 3,000 dollars may be UJA money. I'm sure

you'll wind up in good order. Incidentally, while I'm speaking

Corpus Christi, and Austin, Texas have substantial balances and

OVs. Clear it up before you leave the area. I know you're

anxious to get home. You will. But a clear conscience if you

clear up your area.

[Chesko Pell?]. Very good job has been done in this difficult

area. But Louisville, Kentucky, Columbus, and Lorraine, Ohio

have substantial -- very substantial balances and outstanding

and has to be watched closely. It seems that Mr. [Bronstein?]

has other numbers on his mind. Please watch Mr. Bronstein and

with him, or did he put it on ice? What about Williamsburg? Is

15,000 against 17,000 last year, and no rescue fund final figure

in this community? Aren't you making a mistake?

[Morel Eiffa?]. Gadsden, Alabama -- and I think you were

yesterday in Gadsden -- and St. Augustine, Florida have not

started as yet. There is windup activity indicated in quite a

number of small communities. I know that you do not have to

worry about the Emergency Rescue Fund in your area. [26:00]

There isn't any. What's the matter with this part of the South?

Have they seceded from the Union again? (inaudible),

Bernardsville, Boonton, Flemington, and Keyport, New Jersey have

May 14th. In no community do you indicate a future visit.

Champagne and Rockford, Illinois barely started their campaigns.

Decatur, DeKalb, Joliet, and Springfield, Illinois have

substantial balances outstanding. [27:00] There's an awful lot

to do in your area. My suggestion on emergency schedules

certainly applies to you.

Norman [Merkin?]. Your report is not too clear. But there are no

campaigns in Nampa, Idaho, Goose Bay, Plymouth [Falls?],

Pendleton, that's in Oregon, Richland and Walla Walla in

Washington. Substantial balances outstanding in Boise, Idaho,

Butte, and Helena, Montana. Salem, [Longview?], [Pacama?],

[Ernie Michelle?]. Well, your report makes very pleasant reading,

Ernie. An excellent job has been done on the rescue fund in

almost every community. Long Beach started recently and has a

sizeable balance. San Diego still has 18,000 dollars.

Albuquerque, New Mexico, 10,000 dollars. El Paso, Texas, [28:00]

16,000 dollars. Salt Lake City, Utah, 23,000 dollars. Las Vegas,

Nevada, always a late campaign, has not started yet. Well, you

know Ernie, when you get to Israel, they give us courtesy on the

man that sends -- that comes to Israel from the UJA. They do not

open their luggage, but there's one item they don't admit. You

can't even pay duty on it. That is outstanding balances in

communities. That has to be cleared before you get in there.

Hope you have a nice trip.

[Mia Mints?]. I'm not going into details with you with your man

in the area. From past history I know that the area will be in

very, very good shape. What is the date of your next conference?

I'm alluding to cash, of course, but what is wrong with

Aliquippa and Corry? They haven't started yet. Are they trying

to postpone their campaign to the fall? Pomona, Eureka, Merced,

that you have these balances cleared before you leave for Israel.

Clarksville, Tennessee has not started his campaign, and the

reason is valid. That's intended as a compliment. However, there

are some balances and outstanding values in your own community,

Jackson, and in some of the smaller communities in your area. I

know you'll wind up in good shape.

[Bill Ullman?]. Kingsville, Lake City, Tallahassee, Tampa,

Florida, and Athens, Georgia have not started their campaigns. I

the fall. There are substantial balances in Fort Lauderdale, Key

West, Florida, Columbus, Macon, Augusta, and Savannah, Georgia.

We have no idea how the campaign is going in Puerto Rico. You

just sent a cable. You didn't send a detailed report. Another

visit is probably indicated. You should be very busy until your

vacation.

Now Mr. [Neemand?]. I called [33:00] you out of order. You are

the only man on the entire staff who has not sent in a status

That would be a very valid excuse, although not completely.

Gentlemen, this about winds up the roster. And again I repeat,

we are very pleased. As a matter of fact, I am particularly

pleased with the way the campaign is going and the way you've

handled it. But all of you men who have been on the staff for

some time, and the new ones have probably heard it, it is the

easiest thing in the world to start a campaign. Very easy. But

it's a very hard, and tough, and grinding job to finish a

campaign. The very hard, and tough, and grinding work [34:00] is

ahead of you in the next four, five weeks. Please go to it, and

don't hang up. Rabbi Friedman will say a few more words to you,

but as far as I am concerned, good luck to you, gentlemen.

HERBERT FRIEDMAN:

ty over an area as vast as the whole United

do, we are really a very small area compared to the whole world,

over whose surface there is scattered the problem which we're

trying to solve by our labors. All over the world on the

continents of Europe, and Africa, and Asia, [35:00] there are

Jews who are screaming still in large numbers, summer, June,

heat. Nothing makes any difference. The process goes on

inexorably every day in Israel. The process goes on in every

port and every railroad station in Europe. We're covering the

United States and they are blanketing the world. And only if we

do our job right, and well, and properly, and don't lay down on

that job for the next four or six weeks will we have the good

feeling in our conscience that wherever they are elsewhere on

the surface of the globe, we are not letting them down.

This is a message that I want to take to Israel in your name. I

want to add my thanks to those expressed by those expressed by

Mr. Hyman and Mr. Santit. I want to add the thanks of Mr.

Rosenwald and Mr. Warburg, who know quite well, because we've

kept them informed, of how hard and efficiently the staff has

worked this year. [36:00] All of us give you our gratitude. All

of us give you our earnest pledge to back you up in every way we

know how. And all of us, while thanking you for what you've done,
