The Federation of Jewish Communities of Switzerland announced today that it would call a conference of Jewish organizations to discuss establishment of a United Jewish Appeal in Switzerland. Need for a combined campaign has long been felt here in view of the multiplicity of fund-raising campaigns which frequently overlap, creating friction in local Jewish circles.
Organizations to be represented at the conference include the Women’s International Zionist Organization (WIZO), the Keren Hayesod, the Youth Aliyah, the ORT, the CSE and the Friends of the Hebrew University.
