The second United Jewish Appeal young leaders’ mission to visit Israel since the recent Six-Day War, left for the United States today after a tour of the country, a reception by President Zalman Shazar and talks with Israeli leaders. At a banquet held last night, M. Schrayer of Chicago, head of the mission, said that he was “impressed” by the Israeli will to receive immigration from the West, but he added that the Israelis did not realize the “immense difficulties” for established businessmen and professionals in making a “fresh start” in Israel.
