Rabbi Herbert A. Friedman, executive vice-chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, left New York yesterday for special conferences in connection with UJA-supported aid programs in overseas areas, including Israel. He will also make arrangements for the UJA annual Mid-Year Leadership Conference, to be held in Israel this June.
Rabbi Friedman’s first stop will be in Paris, where he will meet with officials of the Joint Distribution Committee to discuss recent developments affecting UJA-financed operations in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Asia. From Paris, Rabbi Friedman will go to Israel to confer with Government leaders and officials of the Jewish Agency on immigrant aid programs.
