The appointment of Ernest Stock as assistant to Dr. Isador Lubin, Israel Consultant of the Jewish Agency for Israel, Inc. was announced by Mr, Dewey D. Stone, chairman of the Agency. Mr. Stock, who is currently on leave from his post as Overseas Consultant of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, will leave for Israel on June 1st, to take up his duties with the newly opened Jerusalem office of the permanent Israel representative of the JAFI, Inc.
“I consider Mr. Stock’s appointment a very fortunate one,” Mr. Stone said. “Mr. Stock not only possesses the necessary technical qualifications but, through his association with the CJFWF and repeated visits to Israel, is already fully familiar with the main features of the JAFI, Inc. ‘s program.” He noted that in issuing CJFWF’s monthly “Israel Reports, ” Mr. Stock has amply proved his ability to interpret these programs to the American Jewish Community.
While in Israel, Mr. Stock will keep in close touch with the Jewish Agency, Jerusalem –which has been designated as agent of the New York Corporation in implementing immigrant resettlement programs for which funds are allocated from New York — and will participate in the preparation of periodic progress reports to the New York Board of Directors. These reports will serve as a basis for a year-round review of activities in Israel and for line-by-line budgeting of all allocations made by the New York Board of Directors out of its share in the nationwide UJA.
