Israel@60 Mission takes off today!

Participants of the Federation's Israel@60 Mission depart today from San Francisco, and should arrive in Tel Aviv tomorrow in time to honor Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day). This trip, which is produced by the Federation's Business Leadership Council and Israel Center, has recently received a lot of press coverage as evidenced by the articles below.
