Edmund I. Kaufman, president of the Zionist Organization of America, has proclaimed the period of Nov. 10 to Dec. 25 as National Zionist Membership Month, dedicated to the furtherance of the nationwide enrollment campaign for 150,000 members. Public rallies and other events are planned in hundreds of Jewish communities under the auspices of local Zionist branches, to be climaxed with the holding of special celebrations during Chanukah week, Dec. 25 to Jan. 1.

Kaufmann will leave on a tour of New England and the Midwest to aid the enrollment campaign. He will be accompanied on his tour by Rabbi Isadore Breslau, executive director.

Kaufmann also announced appointment of Dr. David Tannenbaum, an authority on Palestine economy and Zionist organizer, as director of the Metropolitan Bureau of the Z.O.A. in New York.
