WASHINGTON — Israel's
n e w Ambassador, Avraham
Harman, has been warmly re-
ceived by President Eisenhower
and the State Department. This
indicates the appeal of Harman's
personality and the normality
of the friendly relations now
linking the two countries.
Washington's diplomatic cor-
respondents have observed that
Harman is refreshingly free of
the sort of snobbish condescen-
sion that typifies some diplo-
mats. He assumes no lofty air
of superiority. He is approach-
able and human.
President Eisenhower made
his own evaluation of the new
Ambassador when Mr. Harman
paid an initial formal call at
the White House. After listen-
ing intently to Mr. Harman's
statement, the President re-
plied: "I am particularly
pleased to welcome a man of
your accomplishments who al-
ready knows the United States
and its people from previous
tours of duty here and who has
first-hand experience with many
aspects of United States-Israel
relations."
Harman's reputation as an
experienced diplomat preceded
him to Washington. From 1953
until 1955 he served as Consul
General • in New York. He said
he will seek to foster an ever-
friendlier relationship between
American Jewry and Israel.
He was born in London, Nov.
3, 1914. His parents had emi-
grated to England from Russia
at the turn of the century. The
name "Harman" is the Hebrew.
version of "Herman." His late
father was an ordained rabbi
but was in the furniture busi-
ness and held an East End con-
cession for Yiddish newspapers.
He worked also as a Hebrew
teacher and was active in an
organization called "The Lov-
ers of Zion."
Harman's mother, now in
her late '70's, resides in Israel.
A brother and sister live in
Israel, and Mr. Harman has .a
sister in the Bronx, New
York. His American sister
adheres to the family's Zion-
ist tradition, heading the
Hadassah in her borough.
Harman could speak Hebrew
when he first visited Palestine
in 1935. He completed law
studies -at Oxford in 1937. He
moved to Palestine in 1938, the

Zionist Federation. In South
Africa he remained two years
and returned married. His mar-
riage was the product of a ro-
mance that began in the law
library of the London School
of Economics.
Mrs. Harman; like her hus-
band, is in the diplomatic
service of Israel. She is on
leave from the Foreign Min-
istry, having just completed
work for the United Nations
International Emergency Chil-
dren's Fund.
When Harman returned from
South Africa in 1940 he went
to work with the Jewish Agen-
cy's youth department.
May, 1948, found Harman in
the press and foreign informa-
tion branch of the '-reign
Ministry of the new state.
He was sent to Montreal as
Consul-General in 1949. In 1950
he was transferred to New York
where he worked not only with
the Israel Office of Information
but also as counselor of Israel's
UN delegation. In 1951 Mrs.
Harman became a member of
the delegation.
After serving as consul gen-
eral in New York, Harman be
came assistant director of the
Foreign Ministry. He resigned
in May, 1956, to join the execu-
tive directorate of the Jewish
Agency.

of world Jewish groups in
Rome in March, 1958.
During his recent four years
in Israel, Harman worked on
a memorial project to docu-
ment the Nazi holocaust. It was
a joint project of Israel and
the Jewish Claims Conference.
Harman recently figured in
international headlines when a
pictorial book about Israel that
he co-authored- was purged by
the Soviet censors from the
U.S. Exhibition in Moscow. He
listed himself simply as "Abe
Harman" on the title page of
this book.
The Harmans have three chil-
dren: Israel David, 15; Naomi,
13, and Ilana, 10. The .two old-
est attended the Ramaz School
in New York, a Jewish day
school. The youngest is follow-
ing in their footsteps, having
entered Washington's Hebrew
Academy.
