Editor-in-Chief
Emeritus, JTA

PERSONALITY PROFILE: Former Detroiter Iiwin S.
Field is the new general chairman of the United Jewish
Appeal. He is young, warm-hearted, very dedicated to
Jewish causes, and very conscious of his obligations to
society and to Jewish needs.
At 43, he brings to the UJA Cabinet a record of 20 years of
communal and national leadership experience. He is the
youngest man ever elected by the national UJA as its
general chairman. He was one of the founders of the UJA
Young Leadership movement and one of its first officers.
He has also been actively engaged in JDC activities, in the
Council of Jewish Federations, in the American Associa-
tion for Jewish Education, and in other national Jewish
bodies. A resident of Los Angeles, he made his mark there
as chairman of two of the most outstanding fund-raising
campaigns for the Jewish community.
Jewish education is among the subjects very close to his
heart. In this he follows the footsteps of his father, Walter
A. Field, president of a paint manufacturing company in
Detroit, whose main aspiration is to make the Jewish youth
aware of their great heritage. Erudite in Jewish history,
and a great lover of it, his father wrote an unusual book
relating in verse the major events in Jewish history—from
the time of Abraham till our present time, including the
Holocaust and the birth of Israel. The book, "A People's
Epic," is prefaced by the noted Jewish scholar, Prof. Harry
M. Orlinsky.
To the newly-elected UJA general chairman, Jewish
education and identity begins at home. All members of his
family have made it a tradition to gather every Friday
evening for a Shebat dinner. He and his wife, Johanna,
never accept engagements for Friday evening, or do their
two sons.
VIEWS ON UJA: The election of Field to UJA general
chairmanship indicates the passing of UJA's top leadership
from the older generation to the younger — to "graduates"
of the Young Leadership class. Field's predecessor, Leonard
Strelitz, was the first from the Young Leadership ranks to
attain the UJA general chairmnship last year.
Field is fully aware of the challenge his new position
carries in a year of crisis for Israel, when American Jewry
must use its creative energies to fulfill the social and educa-
tional needs of the people in Israel. He thinks of the UJA as
an instrument that has the ability to provide the human
and financial resources capable of assuring the creative
continuity of the Jewish people.
He also sees the UJA as an instrument that has the
unique capability of bringing together all Jewish people —
whatever spectrum they are on the religious, ideological or
philosophical scene — and cement them into a unifying
factor in Jewish life. He, naturally, considers the raising of
funds by the UJA as being of prime importance but he does
not neglect to stress that beyond raising of money, UJA is
also raising people, unifying people, bringing people to-
gether, stimulating people to feel a sense of their history
and heritage, making them conscious that they are in-
volved in a very Jewish activity.
He visited Israel for the first time in 1951 with his par-
ents — his father was then a delegate to the World Zionist
Congress held in Israel for the first time in history, after the
creation of the State. Later he visited Israel with his wife on
UJA Young Leadership missions. These visits had a strong
influence on them.
THE TWO PATHS: Field's guiding philosophy in life is
that there are two paths one can follow— he can contribute
to society, or he can stay away and watch events pass by,
himself remaining merely an observer. He chose the first
one. He feels that people who have an opportunity because
of their position, background or knowledge, have an obliga-
tion to contribute to society.
From his very early years he spent a good part of his life
and time trying to contribute to society in general and to
the Jewish community in particular. He concentrated on
the Jewish community, influenced by his upbringing. An
important, influence was also his first visit to Israel.
He believes that we are on the threshhold of a genera-
tional change. He sees younger men and women all across
the country taking positions of great importance to Jewish
communal activities — a new generation of leaders emerg-
ing on the Jewish scene.
