Some 2,000 delegates of the Zionist Organization of America, representing 650 districts of the organization in forty-four states, will meet at the fifty-first annual convention in Pittsburgh July 2-5. Of major importance will be the adoption of a program listing the relationship of the American Zionist movement to the new Republic of Israel.
This will be the first time the Z.O.A. will meet in a national assembly since the establishment of the new Jewish state, and the major aspects of the new American Zionists approach to Israel will be outlined at length in the presidential message of Dr. Emanuel Neumann at the opening session. Other major items will include an address by Dr. Abba Hillel Silver, chairman of the American section of the Jewish Agency. A special session will be devoted to the United Jewish Appeal campaign for $250,000,000, highlighted by an address by Henry Morgenthau Jr., national chairman.
