A group of 108 young communal leaders from 32 American cities left for Europe and Israel this evening as the fifth annual Young Leadership Mission of the United Jewish Appeal.
The group, comprising men and women 25 to 40 years of age, will make an intensive 23-day survey of the Jewish immigration and absorption needs in Israel and refugee aid programs in France, Austria and Greece aided by UJA funds. Rabbi Herbert A. Friedman, UJA executive vice-chairman, is heading the mission which is under the chairman ship of Irwin S. Field of Los Angeles. Each mission member is paying his own way.
