ENVIABLE-RECORD: From 1955 to 1965 is a distance of only
ten years . . Rabbi Herbert A. Friedman, executive vice chairman
of the United Jewish Appeal, has established for himself quite a
record during these ten years . .. Under his direction, the UJA has
raw raised about $715,000,000 during that period . . . He has to his credit
quite a number of other impressive achievements . . . Since he came
to the UJA ten years ago, he has introduced innovations which left
their mark on the entire development of the organization . . . He
started the Special Fund which brought to the UJA an extra
$100,000,000 during the ten years since it was initiated . . . He intro-
duced and developed the Young Leadership idea which brings younger
Jews into the leadership ranks of the UJA . . . He developed the
0416
UJA Study Missions into a permanent link between American Jewish
community leaders and Israel.

THE UJA MIRACLE: The latest in the achievements of Rabbi
riedman is his idea of establishing the Educational Fund in this
country to make possible high school education for children in Israel
whose • parents cannot afford to keep them in high schools where
pupils must pay tuition . . . The campaign for this fund, started last
year, is being cOnducted quietly, independently of the regular UJA
campaign . . . Already $5,000,000 has been raised in this. quiet way
without affecting the usual contributions to the UJA . . . Another
of the latest innovations introduced by Rabbi Friedman is the sending
of "Goodwill' Teams" to the communities throughout the country, not
to ask them for money, but to keep them informed up to date on
developments in Israel and in Jewish communities abroad . • . The
teams are usually compOsed of one American and one Israeli, or
of one American and one representative of the Joint Distribution
Committee working overseas . . They appeal for no funds, but
meet in larger and smaller gatherings with local contributors and
report to them and answer their questions . . . This autumn the
"Goodwill Teams" will visit 40 Jewish communities . . . Rabbi
Friedman started his service ten years ago in the national UJA with
an administrative budget of $3,200,000 and today his administrative
budget for 1965 is $3,100,000 . , . How he accomplished this miracle
of reducing costs remains his secret, but a miracle it definitely is,
considering that the cost of living today is far from that of ten years
ago.
