An official of the Israel Young Men’s Christian Association announced here today that two Toronto Jewish leaders will have key posts on a committee seeking to raise $425, 000 to help build a recreation and rehabilitation center in Nazareth for Israeli Arabs.
Rev. Herbert Minard, general secretary of the YMCA in Jerusalem, said that John D. Fienberg, Toronto builder, and Leo Weinstein, retail grocery executive, would assist J. Howard Hawke, director of the campaign in Canada. He said that about $17, 000 has been raised by public subscription in Israel and that Canadians will be asked to contribute the balance in the two-week campaign.
The two Jewish members of the committee are active in Jewish communal activities and in fund-raising for the United Jewish Appeal, the local Jewish Welfare Fund and other activities.
