Yeshayahu Anug, Israel’s Ambassador to Canada, will discuss the current state of Canadian-Israeli relations in his keynote address at the two-day meeting here next week of the American Jewish Press Association (AJPA), it was announced today by Frank Wundohl, AJPA president, who is editor of the Jewish Exponent of Philadelphia.
Editors and publishers of the AJPA who, according to Wundohl represent some 70 Jewish community English-language newspapers and monthly magazines in the United States and Canada with a combined circulation of more than two million, will hold their sessions Nov. 15 and 16 in the private meeting facilities of Restaurant Cinque Portes. The AJPA mid-year meeting is scheduled annually in the same city and during the Council of Jewish Federations General Assembly. The 48th Assembly will be meeting here Nov. 14-18.
In his address, Anug is expected to focus on Israeli and world Jewish reaction to Canadian Prime Minister Joe Clark’s announcement last week that he is bowing to the recommendation of Ambassador-at-large Robert Stanfield, submitted to the House of Commons, that Canada will not at this time move its Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The move was one of Clark’s campaign promises.
Dr. Murray Friedman, Middle Atlantic States director of the American Jewish Committee and a member of the faculty at LaSalle College in Philadelphia, will discuss “The Future of Black-Jewish Relations” at the Nov. 15 morning session. Dr. Irving Greenberg, executive director of the National Jewish Resource Center (formerly the National Jewish Conference Center), will discuss “The President and Future Problems of the American Jewish Community — How the Media Fits In” at the Nov. 16 morning session.
The wind-up address at the Nov. 16 luncheon will be delivered by Yitzhak Bar-On, vice president of the Jewish Agency-American Section, who will be reporting for the AJPA on details of a planned AJPA study mission to Israel early in 1980 in cooperation with the World Federation of Jewish Journalists.
