Former U. S. Senator Kenneth B. Keating was honored today with the annual Freedom Cup Award of the Women’s League for Israel, at the organization’s 37th anniversary luncheon. Sen. Keating, who was cited for his long and distinguished career of public service, was presented with a hand-tooled silver kiddush cup, by Mrs. Jack Starr, president of the Women’s League. Guest speaker at the luncheon was Israel’s Consul General Katriel Katz.
Proceeds from the luncheon will benefit the Women’s League’s projects in Israel, which include five Y-style homes in Israel’s principal cities.
