a memorial meeting in the offices of the Z.O.A., 111 Fifth Avenue.

Louis Lipsky, for the Z.O.A.; Mrs. Edward Jacobs, for Hadassah, of which she is president, and Max Rudensky, in behalf of the Jewish National Fund, were the principal speakers. The speakers stressed the role played by the late Zionist leader in the creation of Zionist sentiment in America and called him “a spiritual founder” of the movement.

Among the other speakers at the meeting, which was presided over by Morris Margolies, were Dr. Samuel Margoshes, editor of The Day; David Wertheim of the Poale Zion and Leo Wolfson and Charles A. Cowen, members of the governing council of the Z.O.A.

At a special meeting of the administrative committee of the Order B’nai Zion, a resolution was adopted expressing deep mourning at the death of Dr. Levin. Offices of the Order were closed during the time the funeral was being held in Palestine.
