The reality of 1000 participants in the United Jewish Appeal Young Leadership’s Koach Mission of Strength, drew a step closer today, as the Young Leadership of B’nai B’rith announced it was joining the Mission in the spirit of solidarity with the people of Israel. “B’nai B’rith’s Young Leadership welcomes an opportunity to join with UJA’s Young Leadership in this historic mission,” said Tommy P. Baer, chairman of B’nai B’rith’s Young Leadership group.
The Koach Mission will be led by Alan Rudy of Houston, Texas, incoming chairman of the UJA’s Young Leadership Cabinet. Recruitment activities have been scheduled in virtually every major city in the country. Frank R. Lautenberg, UJA general chairman, called the Koach Mission an “historic affirmation of the oneness of the Jewish people.” Over 670 young Jewish community leaders from throughout the country have already signed up for the largest Mission in UJA’s history that will run from Nov. 6-16.
