Archbishop George Hakim of Galilee, the leader of the Israeli Greek Orthodox Community, is coming to the United States to participate in a dinner in Boston on September 28 which will honor Richard Cardinal Cushing. The dinner is being organized by the National Committee for Labor Israel, sponsor of the annual campaign in the United States for the Histadrut, Israel’s labor federation.
The Boston dinner, in which Massachusetts Governor John A. Volpe will participate, will raise funds for a Cardinal Cushing Hospital to be operated by the Kuapt Holim, the Histadrut Sick Fund, and the Greek Orthodox community in Israel at Shefaram. Archbishop Hakim is a member of the Histadrut and many nuns and priests of his community are members of the Histadrut Teachers Union.
