The Eastern Regional Conference of Avukah was held at the Lord Baltimore Hotel, here, last Sunday. Over one hundred delegates attended.
The guest of honor was Dr. Harry Friedenwald, distinguished American Zionist leader, who urged renewed loyalty to the Zionist movement, particularly in consideration of the fact that events have so fully vindicated all previous Zionist arguments.
The Conference also heard messages from Rabbi Edward L. Israel the president of the Seaboard Zionist Region, and spiritual leader of Har Sinai Temple, and from Harry T. Kellman, president of the Baltimore Zionist District. Miss Rose L. Kornblatt brought the greetings of Junior Hadassah.
The afternoon session of Avukah was devoted to a symposium on “Personal Relationship with Palestine.” Joseph Shubow spoke on the investment possibilities, Michael Aharoni described the Chalutz farms near Baltimore where young people are being prepared for settlement in Palestine, and Sol Lippman spoke on working for Palestine in the Diaspora.
