Jews on the Move Again
By JOSEPH MEYERHOFF
General Chairman
United Jewish Appeal

4 new Exodus is under way
as we prepare TO observe
Passover this year. Tens of
thousands of Jews are on the
move to Israel and other
lands. Their movement adds
rich significance this year to
mans most ancient festival
of freedom. Every ship or
plane that leaves with a pre-
ciouS cargo of immigrants,
bound for a new life of dig
nifty and liberty, heightens
for us - the Jews of Amer
ica - the sense of response
bility which lies at the heart
of the meaning of Passover.
Remembering the Hagga-
dah's admonition, Whose
ever is in want, let him come
and eat" let us remember
with a generous spirit the
great number of fellow Jews
who look to us for rescue
and let us - figuratively -
set places for them at our
holiday table.
The new Exodus depends
in large measure on the
American Jewish community.
Only our help, adequate and
on time, will keep the free
dom trains, ships and planes
moving and sustain those
who wait their turn for later
resettlement. Only we can
write a happy ending to this
new chapter in the Hagga-
dab of Jewish experience.
This is perhaps the great
est Jewish migration in a
decade. The curve is rising
steeply and, as it rises, costs
rise too. Transportation for
today's refugees costs many
millions of dollars. And these
dollars must be at hand when
doors open to permit Jewish
families to depart. Jewish
history is crowded with trag-
edy for those who had to wait
too long.
The immigrants of today
depart with virtually no re-
sources. Often a single suit
case is all that remains of the
possessions of a lifetime. In
Israel, whence most will di-
rect their steps, facilities for
reception, resettlement and
absorption have been placed
under heavy strain by the
vast new influx.
Yet, IsraePs people wei
come the newcomers. They
