The Board of Jewish Deputies, representing the most influential Jewish congregations in Great Britain, will join the representative bodies of other countries in the formation of the Jewish Agency for the rebuilding of Palestine as the Jewish National Homeland, according to a resolution adopted yesterday at the monthly meeting of the Board.
The resolution, which was carried by a two-thirds majority, will be embodied in the constitution and reads as follows:
“The Board may associate itself with any other Jewish body or bodies for the purpose of executing the British Mandate over Palestine.”
Lord Rothschild was appointed president of the Board, during the absence of Sir Henriques, who left yesterday on a tour through Tangiers to inspect the Jewish schools subsidized by the Board.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
