Ambassador Michael Comay, and his wife, Joan, were given a farewell luncheon by six major Jewish organizations on Friday at the Jewish Agency building here. Ambassador Comay, returning to Israel after seven years as Israel’s representative to the United Nations, heard tributes from Max Fisher, general chairman of the United Jewish Appeal; Abraham Feinberg, president of the Israel Bond Organization; Mrs. Rose L. Halprin, chairman of the American section of the Jewish Agency for Israel; Dr. Dewey D. Stone, in behalf of the United Israel Appeal and the Weizmann Institute; and Albert Parker, general chairman of the United Jewish Appeal of Greater New York.

Responding to the tributes, Ambassador Comay thanked the American Jewish community for the support it has given to the cause of Israel, and remarked that “what happens to a Jew anywhere, happens to all Jews everywhere.”
