Plans are underway for the launching of the 1971 Israel United Appeal emergency campaign in which the community hopes to top all past records in fund-raising for Israel. It is expected that Yaacov Herzog, Director General of the Prime Minister’s office in Israel, will come here next month for the official launching of the campaign. Recently, S.J. Kreutner, director of the Keren Hayesod in Israel, completed a two-week visit to brief campaign workers on Israel’s vital needs.
