Most of the 250 Jewish social workers of the United States and Canada who participated in the International Conference of Jewish Communal Service, which took place here, left the country today, while some remained to travel around the various parts of Israel.

The five-day conference concluded this weekend with a decision to establish a world center to train Jewish communal workers and to examine the possibility of establishing a Jewish Peace Corps. It was suggested that the center be established either in the United States or in Israel. More than 500 Jewish communal workers from Israel, Europe, the American continent and Australia participated in the conference.
