Eight young men and women of this city, none over 21, left on Tuesday for Palestine where they are to settle as Chalutzim. This group devoted the past three years in training on farms in Michigan and in New Jersey, thereby preparing themselves for colonization in Palestine. The group consists of Meyer Harrison, Berl Brzoza, Ida Levin, Moshe Saloweitchik, Dvora Levin, Emanuel Zahler, Ephraim Malamud, Joseph Michalowsky, Malka Reichman, Sarah Komoroff, Shoshana Peis and Rachmiel Katz.
This group is the second in all the history of American Jewish effort for Palestine to leave for active work in the Homeland. More than 500 Detroit Zionists turned out to honor this group of Chalutzim.
