Bernard J. Kabak has been elected chairman of the 24-member North American Jewish Youth Council which represents more than 400,000 Jewish youth in the United States and Canada.

The Council seeks to initiate and develop projects which will enrich the programs of the constituent national Jewish youth organizations; provide an exchange of information, ideas and experiences among the groups; contribute to the strength of Jewish life; and deepen the concern of American Jewish youth for world Jewry with special emphasis on the relationships between American youth and Israel.
