Mrs. John C. Hopp Represents Detroit
On WA Women's Israel Mission

.

Key women leaders of the United Jewish Appeal from various
parts of the United States are now traveling in Israel, to see "from
a woman's point of view" the recent advances in the young state
and the needs to be met in the UJA's 1953 campaign. Their fact-
finding mission is also taking them to North Africa, where scores
of thousands of Jews live in sub-standard conditions, and to
France. The delegation, all officers of the UJA's National Wom-
en's Division, is shown here just before departure, studying a map
of Israel to trace the route of their journey. The group, which
will play a prominent role in - the TJJA's nationwide campaign
to meet urgent immigration, settlement, welfare and rehabilita-
tion needs totalling nearly $145,000,000 this year, includes (I. to r.)
Mrs. S. Alexander Brailove of Elizabeth, N. J., National Women's
Division honorary chairman; Mrs. Albert Pilavin of Providence,

Detroit, Mich., Mrs. Henry Newman of Kansas City, Mo., and Mrs.
Jack Karp of Los Angeles, Calif., vice-chairman. Mrs. Hal Horne
New York, chairman for regions, who is a member of the
mission, is not shown.
