Ben M. Mandlekorn, Executive Director and Murray T. Danin¬ hirsch, Associate-Director, direct the counsellors and caseworkers who staff Jewish Family Service.
FOR   THE  57   YEARS  since   its
founding, JFS has been actively engaged in the counselling and assisting of Jewish families and in¬ dividuals facing difficulties of var¬ ious types.
Evolving from an agency primar¬ ily engaged in assisting Jewish immigrants from Europe at the turn of the century, the work done by the agency today reflects the complex problems arising from the growing prosperity of the Jewish Community and the impact of American life on the traditional Jewish   family   patterns.
SUCH WIDELY DIVERSE situ¬ ations as juvenile delinquency, men¬ tal illness, family confhct, job re¬ training, aid to the physically handicapped, unwed mothers, new Americans, Parolees, foster care and numerous others pass through the doors of this agency.
JFS emphasizes the need of the client to better understand his own problems, so that he, with his new found comprehension, can more effectively confront his situation. Where the financial resources exist, fees are charged for counselling. All JFS services are treated in the utmost confidence between client and counsellor.
Mrs. Leeman Visits Europe On A UJ.A. Study Mission
The American Joint Distribution Committee can make no further re¬ ductions in its overseas relief and rehabilitation requirements, in spite of the loss of 25% in annual income that it has suffered as a result of the end of the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany in 1964, JDC Director- General Charles H. Jordan told the 1965 annual UJA Women's Division Overseas Study Mission at a meet¬ ing at the Hotel Crillon.

The group's visit to France was the fu-st leg of 23-days study tour of Jewish needs and problems overseas, which took them next to Rome, then on to Israel.
MRS. LEEMAN'S REPORT will be an important factor in deter mining the goal of the United Jewish Fund and Council of Columbus annual fund-raising campaign.
JDC receives its main support from the National United Jewish Appeal to which the United Jewish Fund and Council of Columbus makes a major contribution.
In briefing the women on JDC s worldwide operation, Mr. Jordan noted that the welfare agency s main responsibilities today lie in Europe, Israel and the Moslem countries of North Africa and Iran "Even during the 'fat years' of a $30,000,000 budget, we never were able fully to meet the needs m these areas" he said.
MRS. LEEMAN is shown at right as she departed via Air France as one of a group of 20 women leaders from 14 key communities across the country for a three-week overseas survey of welfare, re¬ settlement and immigrant absorp¬ tion   programs   supported   by   the
