Flint feted two of its most dis-
tinguished "senior" leaders at
a testimonial reception held re-
cently at the Beth Israel Social
Hall.
Jacob Pines and Israel Send-
ler were honored for their life-
long dedication to Zionism and
their pioneering efforts on be-
half of Jewish education, UJA,

tional Fund.
A plaque bearing their names
will be erected in the Michigan
Room of the Kfar Silver Agri-

project of the Michigan Region
and the Zionist Organization of

District and a city-wide commit-
tee of Jewish leaders, the Kfar

leaders was directed by Louis
Kasle, Harry J. Binder and Mur-
ray E. Moss, who also conduct-
ed the ceremonies at the recep-
tion.
