The Young Leadership Conference of the United Jewish Appeal — the only event of its kind to bring 1500 young leaders from across the United States under a single roof to examine and discuss critical issues affecting the future of the Jewish community and the American community at large — will be held in Washington Feb. 24-26, it was announced by Stanley Frankel, conference chairman and chairman of the UJA’s Young Men’s Leadership Cabinet.
He said the conference will focus on major issues, including Israel’s strategic importance, terrorism, U.S. foreign aid, the Egyptian-Israeli treaty, human rights and the energy situation. “We’ve planned an exciting and challenging program with first rate speakers — prominent government officials, academics and policy planners from the United. States and Israel,” Frankel said.
