Tucson Council Salutes Israel
To the Great State of Israel the Jewish Community of Tucson, Arizona,
extend its warmest congratulations and its gratitude, too.
Ten years have passed since the re-birth of the State of Israel and from
one desert country to another we extend our hands-across-the-sea in friendship
and support.
The State of Israel, in 10 years of existence, has brought a new dignity
to world-wide Jewry. The impact of the re-birth of Israel has been felt strongly
even here, some 8,000 miles away. We congratulate the leaders and the peo
ple of Israel for their great efffort over the past 10 years. And we are deeply
grateful for their Open Door policy which has given new homes of peace and
safety to our brethren, our friends and even our relatives.
The Jewish Community of Tucson salutes Israel on a great anniversary.
May Eretz Yisrael grow and prosper as it richly deserves to!
For the Jewish Community of Tucson.

Tucson Jewish Community Council.

Tucson Gave
Million To
Help Israel
In 10 years the Jewish com
munity of Tucson has raised
almost $1 million to aid the
decade of growth of Israel.
Figures compiled by Benja
min N. Brook, executive di
rector of the Tucson Jewish
Community Council, reveal
that Tucson’s Combined Jew
ish Appeal has raised $1,350,-
000 since 1949. Os that sum
$808,863 was sent to aid Is
rael.
BUT BECAUSE no com
munity records were kept be
fore 1949, the figures are in
complete. If other totals were
available, Mr. Brook declared,
health and welfare funds
raised by the Tucson Jewish
community would be even
larger.
“I believe these figures
speak for themselves,” Mr.
Brook said. “They give a true
story of Tucson’s part in the
growth of Israel.”
But Mr. Brook pointed out
that during the same 10-year

period in the establishment of
the State of Israel, the Tuc
son Jewish community also
has grown.
“It is very interesting to
note,” the Tucson Jewish ex
ecutive director explained,
“that the real growth of our
community parallels that of
Israel.
DURING THE SAME time
Israel was reborn and rebuild
ing, our Temple and Synago
gues developed their fine fa
cilities. The Tucson Jewish
Community Center moved
from Congregation Anshei
Israel to a small building on
Tucson Blvd. and then to its
present magnificent struc
ture.
“At the same time the Jew
ish Social Service developed
strongly, offering profession
al leadership, a child adoption
agency and a casework and
consultation agency.”
Mr. Brook also pointed out
that during the past 10 years
the community has produced
outstanding lay leadership
which has directed the vital
CJA campaigns, the direction
of the Tucson Jewish Com
munity Council, the operation
of the Center arid other com
munity organizations.
Mr. Brook also credited
much of the development of
the strong Tucson Jewish
community to the spiritual
leadership of Rabbi Albert T.
Bilgray of Temple r manu-El
and Rabbi Marcoc Breger of
Co g. Anshei Israel.
