Despite the fact that no general publicity was given by the United Jewish Appeal this year to the large number of immigrants entering Israel, the results of this year’s UJA fund-raising campaign are very good, it was reported at a press conference here today by Rabbi Herbert A. Friedman, UJA executive vice-president.
Rabbi Friedman, who is leading a UJA Young Leadership Mission of 120 members here, said that the mission proved to be such a success that it is now planned to double its membership next year. He said that the UJA will celebrate its Silver Anniversary in 1962, and revealed that former Senator Herbert H. Lehman will serve as honorary general chairman of the celebration.
