The enrollment of 3,000 members, more than double the membership of last year, was announced here today by Rabbi Simon Greenberg, president of the Philadelphia branch of the Zionist Organization of America. This Unprecedented increase in the numerical strength of the organization in this city, is the result of an intensive campaign, climaxed by a victory dinner at which Dr. Chaim Weizmann was the guest speaker.
Sponsoring four consecutive daily campaign dinners, the membership committee succeeded in enlisting, during that short period, close to 1700 additional members. The main speakers at these functions were Judge Louis E. Levinthal, president of the ZOA, Rabbi Simon Greenberg and Simon Shetzer, executive director of the ZOA.
