This note is response to the recent article on Operation Moses.
The original article claimed that the UJA was putting money into
a special fund for helping Ethiopian Jews resettle in Israel, and
that this special fund would be used 100% for this purpose.

Uh-uh. The UJA is up to its usual tricks on this one, at least in Chicago.

I called, and the lady who claimed to be in charge said that there
is no special fund set apart for Operation Moses. Instead, the UJA has
made a commitment for X amount of dollars and is assuming that we will
raise our contribution amount to cover it.

Yep. That means our starving brethren in Ethiopa et. al. will get whatever
money is left after UJA bureaucrats have had their share. Also, any
above-and-beyond generosity of ours this year will be expected of us next
year...

Well, I'm gonna call the Jewish United Fund to see if they have a more
fair setup. I WANT to help the Jews in Africa. I don't want to cut the
UJA in the deal, that's all!
