Jews in the United States and other countries out side Israel were urged by Israel’s two Chief Rabbis today to increase their financial support for the Jewish Agency’s programs in behalf of transporting immigrants to Israel and for housing them and finding them employment in the Jewish State.
The message, by Rabbis Isaac Herzog and Itzhak Nissim, called or the Israeli people to assist in the spiritual and physical absorption of the immigrants into the life of the country. It praised the all-out efforts of the Jewish Agency and concluded: “Let’s prove to the world that there’s unity among the Jewish people.”
