A group of Jewish community leaders here left for Israel last night as this city’s first mission for the study of the new movement of immigrants to Israel, on behalf of the Combined Jewish Appeal, United Israel Appeal and the Rescue and Survival Fund.
The group, led by Jacob M. Lowy, general chairman of the 1962 campaign, will visit refugee transit centers in Paris, Marseilles, Rome and Naples before going to Israel. After conferring with top Israeli leaders, the group is scheduled to return here to report to campaign and community leaders in preparation for the fall Joint Jewish Campaign.
