Grectings to the exhibition were extended by Dr. Heinrich Stahl, director of the Berlin Jewish community. Dr. Stahl is an opponent of Zionism, but he wished the Zionist movement in Germany success Palestine labor was represented at the exhibition opening by Shkolnik, who declared that he spoke on behalf of all the Jewish communities in Palestine. He addressed the meeting in Hebrew. Dr. Arthur Lilienthal, formerly a high judicial official, spoke for the Representative Body, composing most of the Jewish organization in Germany.
