The role of American Jewish philanthropy in relation to Israel and other overseas needs in 1952 will be charted by Jewish community leaders from all parts of the United States at the 20th General Assembly of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, scheduled to open in Chicago on November 30, it was announced here today by the Council.
More than 750 Jewish leaders, representing several hundred communities, will review the changing overseas situation, actual experience of communities during the past year with the Four-Point Program for Israel, developments in connection with previous recommendations of the Assembly for co-ordination and for strengthening overseas procedures. On the basis of these reports and full discussion, the delegates will outline plans for meeting overseas philanthropic responsibilities in the coming year.
The MacIver Report on Jewish Community Relations in America will be discussed at two major meetings. A high spot of the Assembly will be a dinner observing the 20th anniversary of the founding of the C.J.F.W.F. Julian Freeman, Council president, will report on the two-decade record of progress the Council has made toward its fundamental objectives and what unmet needs or partially resolved problems should have first claim upon its attention in the period ahead. Stanley Myers, former president of the Council, and chairman of the budget and finance committee, will present the 1952 C.J.F.W.F. program, budget and dues schedule for delegate action.
