Rabbi Herbert Friedman, executive vice-chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, arrived here today for a two-week tour of Israel during which he will inspect installations and programs supported by UJA beneficiary organizations and will meet with government and Jewish Agency leaders.
Rabbi Friedman disclosed that a major UJA delegation will arrive in Israel on October 19 to make a thorough study of local conditions and needs in order to plan the 1956 UJA drive. Before coming to Israel, the UJA executive head visited North Africa and various countries of Western Europe to study the situation of Jews in those countries.
(Fifteen executive directors of community campaigns affiliated with the nationwide United Jewish Appeal returned to New York by El Al Israel Airlines today after a four-week survey of UJA-financed migration, welfare and rehabilitation programs in Israel and Western Europe.)
