In the course of his visit to these cities, he addressed a number of Individual meetings In each city, and participated Jn solicitations. Based on our prior arrangement, Rabbi Friedman ts to receive $1,000., for each city he visited on our behalf, ••• therefore, a total of $21,000., Is now due him. He has arranged with you to have $2,500. , deposited to his account each month, corrmencfng with February 1, 1977, until the entire sum Is paid to him. Based upon an anticipation of an add itional visit to the States during the calendar year of 1977 on our behalf, we will Incur additional Indebtedness to him for further cltles that he vlsf ts. Therefore, at the end of the year you should prepare an accounting as to how much we owe hfm for the year, and how much he has drawn against thfs amount, and his balance to be settled at the end of the calendar year of 1977.

Dear Herb,

I am writing to you regarding our previous discussion in relation to your being here on our behalf from November 1, thru 21 .

I have discussed these dates with Irving, who feels that since "This Year In Jerusalem11 missjon would just be returning to the States at the early part of November, and the conflict with the CJFWF Assembly in November, that th is particular month would not be very productive. When you have the opportunity, I would appreciate hearing from you regarding your reactions.

With warmest regards to all the family .

I am planning to be i n Israel, arriving October 16, and remaining thru the end of October. This visit, of course, is in r elation to our conference.

Needless to say, I am looking forward to seeing you. If you would check with Chaim Vioitsky's office, he will be in a position to tell you what hotel I will be staying. By the way , Bess will also be in Israel at that time.

I'd like to take this oppor tunity to wish you a very happy new year.

Mr. Herbert A. Friedman 15 IBN Gabirol Street Jerusalem, Israel

Dear Herb :

I realized that at this writing you w111 be out of the country. However , in reply to your letter of May 4, I would suggest that the best possible dates for us would be in January, 1977,

If everything goes as expected, most c>f the major cities will be having their Big Gifts meetings at that time. Let me know the exact dates you can be here, and ~~e can then start working on an itinerary .

By the way, I plan to be in Israel from June 17, thru June 25. I will be staying at the Accadia Hote ll . From your letter, I gather you will be returning to lsrae U on June 20. Perhaps we will have a chance to speak in the fe~ 1 remaining days I will be there. egards to Franc ine and the children.

One of the outstandingly successful programs of Leadership Development was the April 2-4 weekend retreat at the Lido Beach Hotel, which drew 150 young leaders for study groups in such topics as Jewish identity, intermarriage, world Jewry, Federation, Jewish education, the Shabbat. Authors Dennis Praeger and Joseph Telushkin and representatives of national and local Jewish agencies served as resource people. Many of the groups were run by members of Leadership Develop­ ment themselves. The Mini Series seminar program has been enor­ mously effective too, with 700 young people partici­ pating actively.

The plain implication is that missions do more than just help our people in Israel. American Jewry, which supplies almost all of the funds They also reinvigorate the Jewish community here, that JDC can count on, is not doing enough, is because people return from Israel imbued with the sense compelling JDC to give to needy Jews only what it can of a mission to perform at home.

Dear Mr. Rombro; I have just returned from a trip to the United States, hence the delay fn replying to your letter of June 4. Basically you are asking whether I plan to be in the United States during the Fall, and as far as I see the calendar now, there is a chance that I w111 be there late in October or the first week of November. This is not definite, but I am gearing myself mentally for that tfw~ period. You may be sure that I would be happy to accept an invitation to come to Akron for whatever purpose you wish, if indeed I am in the United States. I appreciate very much the revitalisation job you are trying to do , and I would • be happy to be of assistance. I suspect that my timetable will become more definite by the beginning of September, so I sugoest we keep in touch . If your tic s,stern fs better than mine, perhaps you will remind yourself to drop me a note at the end of t he sunl'1er.

Rabbi Herbert Friedman 15 Ibn Gvirol St. Jerusalem, Israel

Dear Rabbi Friedman,

I have been asked to write to you in order to learn if you are planning to be in the United States some time in the Fall.

We are planning a program for leadership training to begin after the Holidays, and of course your name was the first one broached as a speaker from whom we could greatly benefit.

Of course if you would be available, we would then ask you if you would like to speak to a community- wide meeting that would be set up specifically because of your presence.

I do not want to look too far ahead. Perhaps the correct beginning plan would be to determine when and if you would be in America, and if you can make available a few hours for your many friends here in Akron .

As we had all anticipated, you made a fine and E:i.ecutroe Director Mom~Rombro lasting impression. And my considered opinion, in retrosp ect is that we should make a determined effort to have you spend at l east a day with us annu ally since it is not only a healthy experience for the community as a whole, but provides a genuine and generous boost in energy and mor ale to your good friends here.

I wanted not only to tell you what had happened as a resul t of your visit :from our point of view but also to express a very sincer e thanks and " yashe koach" to you. Our campaign is of:f to a f ine start; ou r people are enthused; and in fairness I must say that I l earne d a good deal :from you r visit also.

Now, you shoul d be forewarned that about 25 of us will be visiting Israel in January. You made the mistake of suggesting that we contact you whenever we woul d be in your neighborhood, so I am doing just that . Will you be in Jerusalem during the week of Jan. 4-11 ~ and wil l you be available to make a presentation to us as you did a year ago? We will have in this group :first time visitors to Israel for the most part. The group will be led by Irv Sands , a name you will remember , and by Art Ax:ner , attorney, good friend of Sands, and c o-chairman of the Leadership Development Program, the program that was originally responsible for inviting you to re- visit our community.

I hope that your trip home was a p l easant one , and if all goes well , we will meet in January, in' sh' Allab.

Dear Herbert: On behalf of t he community in general and the Campai gn i n particular I am deeply gr ateful for the help and the guidance you provided us. I believe the solici tations we had will result in appr opriate gifts, and I will let you know the results. Your address to the com~unity­ at- lar ge was effective and timely. With respect to the Retreat your Jewi sh commitment, your curr ent and historical knowledge and the force of your personal ity made the weekend a roar ing success . I have received only superlative and complementary comments from the enthusiastic participants and I am confident that, as we bad hoped, the mood and the substance of the Retreat will have a very positive impact on this year's Campaign as well as on the level of Jewish consciousness i n the community. Personally, spending the better part of four days with you was an absolute delight and joy for me - an experience I will not soon forget. You are a beautiful man and command enormous respect because you seem to influence in such a positive way the lives of all those with whom you come in contact. Rabbi Herbe rt A.

FRIEDMAN Former Executive Chairman, National United Jewish Appeal

Rabbi Friedman is an eminent authority on virtually every facet of Jewish llfe. His activities with United Jewish Appeal in the Diaspora, coupled with h is four year res­ idence in Israel, have given him an unique insight into the roots of Jewish existence. As Executive Chairman of United Jewish Appeal he travelled nearly 100,000 miles annually raising funds to meet Israel's requirements. As an Israeli citizen he provides a link to the programs made possible by those funds. As Executive Chairman he molded the United Jewish Appeal Into Its present level of sophistication. Rabbi Friedman has developed many of the fund-raising te<:hnlques presently used by UJA and continues to be one of the world's premier fund­ raisers. Rabbi Friedman presently serves as Director of Planning and Development for the World Education Center for Progressive Judaism based In Jerusalem. He Is also frequently found lecturing to an attentive class of rabbinical students at Hebrew Union College In Jerusalem. In the October War, Rabbi Friedman served in the Infantry and was In that part of the Israeli army which crossed the Suez Canal and surrounded the Egyptian Third Army. His experiences In the army and In the Civil Guard have served as Invaluable experiences In helping Rabbi Friedman Interpret the needs of Israel. Rabbi Friedman graduated from Yale College and was ordained by the Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion. He served as Chaplain with the 9th Infantry Division In Germany In 1945 where he spearheaded efforts ·to help Jewish survivors of the Nazi death camps and later served as Assistant Advisor on Jewish AUalrs to General Joseph T. McNarney, Commander of the U.S. Occupatl.on Fol'ce In Germany. After the war, Rabbi Friedman was an active supporter of statehood for Israel. As Chairman of the UJA Speaker's Bureau, he was one of the most outspoken supporters of the UJA national campaign. He became Executive Vice Chairman In 1955 and Executive Chair­ man In 1970. Just before the outbreak of hostilities In 1967, he visited Israel for talks with Jewish Agency leaders and government officials resulting In the historic Israel Emerg.ency Fund. Rabbi, soldier and authority on Jewish life, Herb Friedman serves as an Inspiration to al I those who wish to fulfill themselves as Jews. HISTORY HAS CHALLENGED THE JEWISH PEOPLE: Build an Israel that will be an eternal Israel, one that will thrive during both war and peace, one that will strengthen and unify Jews throughout the world.

We must answer this challenge by expressing solidarity with our community and with Israel. We will demonstrate that WEARE ONE

Granted asylum by the Dutch West India Company, they were given the conditions upon which they could live in this new colony. "You will be welcome," they were told, " as long as your poor do not become a burden to us. As long as you care for your own." " We accept these conditions," they said, "for we are Jews.

Dear Herb,

Thank you very much for your letter of June 24, 1975. I am :following you r suggestion and writing to you toward the end of the summer so that we can try to pinpoint when we can plan to have you with us here in Akron.

Althou gh we plan to have about 25 young people partici pat i ng in the program, we have left a g r eat deal of latitude for the day of your appearance . We can plan either a luncheon meeting or an evening meeting . If a luncheon meeting , we would probably like to take advantage of your presence and arrange a larger meeting for the evening. If an evening meeting is set up , perhaps we should have it in the way of an open session so that the entire community woul d have the opportunity of hearing you. Your remarks would nevertheless be addressed primaril y to this group.

So as you see, there are a number of different arrangements available that we could consider. We c annot complete our plans until you can let us know something more about dates and timing . You can let us know as soon as you are able .

You may a l so want to know that we are having three sessions on Modern Israel. The f i rst one wil l consist of two films bearing the titl es o:f "The Vision of Chaim Weizman" and " A Time to Rejoice" . The second session on the same theme will be you r presen tation, and we have provided no other titl e except " Modern Israel" . That shou ld give you a great deal of latitude to bring out any history, back ground, or

personalities that you would like to discuss . Only one problem occurs to me . If you should opt for a luncheon meeting, we are dealing with young business people who will have to be back to their 0££ices at a reasonable hour, and you would therefore be limited by their schedules to about a thirty minute presentation. Should you desire the evening meeting, I do not think we would be limited in any way in terms of time .

As soon as you can provide me with any date, time, and your thinking on the above question , I will be able to arrange the meetings preceeding and following your presentation more easily. ! am therefore asking if you can let us know as quickly as possible when we can look forward to seeing you so that other arrangements can also be completed for the other meetings referred to.

I need hardly say that we are very pleased at your willing­ ness to spend some time with us . Your old friends will look forward to hearing you again and the young group will have the pleasure of listening to you for the first time .

Sincerely yours,

~~~,..,.--:.,.,. Morris Rombro MR : jm

I have shared this information with some of your Morris Rombro 11 Chasidim11 , and they are of course delighted to learn that you will be with us once again. One of them even made a note for himself to make sure that he made no out of town appointments for that date.

When we spoke together about your appearance in Akron, you kindly offered to make two presentations, and I brought this back to the community with the question as to how we could best utilize your time. One- half of it will be taken up with the presentation to the Leadership Development Program which we will schedule, as you suggested, for a little earlier in the afternoon than would normally be the case. This will keep the evening free for your appearance elsewhere.

We have not confirmed anything as yet but are tentatively think­ ing in terms of asking you to appear before the Leadership Group at 4 o ' clock in the afternoon and spending two hours with them. At that time if you like you could break away for dinner and have a brief rest until you are picked up for a meeting that we would like to set up for 8 : 00 P . M. the same evening. At the second meeting we would like to have a select group of about fifty people comprising the key people who will be involved in the campaign this year and a number of our outstanding contributors. Sometimes they are one and the same. We were discussing whether we could benefit from your presence to use this meeting as a pre- campaign solicitation of some of our big givers. This had not been the format that we had discussed in your office, but I am sure that you would make I i I l '

yourself available for whatever purposes woul d best serve the general community .

If you have no serious objections to what is outlined above, I would suggest that you OK the reservation of a room for you in one of our Hotels in our sec tion of 1:he city s o that you can spend the night here. If you have any comments or sugges­ tions or if there is any way in which we can make your stay here more c omfortable , p l ease let us hear rrom you.
