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.
