More than 100 youths — members of Masada — youth movement of the Zionist Organization of America — will participate in the Zionist Organization of America Chanukah torch relay from Kennedy Airport to City Hall here. The youths will carry a torch kindled at the tomb of the Maccabees near Jerusalem and present it to Mayor Edward-Koch. The event is sponsored by Masada of ZOA. The torch will be flown from Ben Gurion Airport in Israel to JFK by El Al Israel Airlines on Dec. 2, and will be accompanied by Ronit Batson, 18, who was elected by the Maccabi Tzair movement in Israel to be the representative to the U.S. for the torch relay.
