Brig. Gen. Yeshayahu Tadmor (Res.), 43, has been appointed head of the North American emissaries of the World Zionist Organization. He will assume his post next month. Tadmor was born in Haifa, studied at a religious elementary school and at the prestigious “Hebrew Reali” high school. Since 1952 he has served in the Army, except for a two-year period during which he directed Israel’s television network. During the last three years he served as commander of the youth battalions (Gadna). His first acquaintance with American Jewry was in 1966 when he headed a student delegation which spent two months in the States. He has since then been in the U.S. several times on information and United Jewish Appeal tours.
