A detailed program for the sale of $7,500, 000 worth of Israel Development Bonds by the B’nai B’rith was adopted here this week-end at a two-day bond planning conference of more than 100 B’nai B’rith leaders. The parley adopted as the organization’s slogan for selling Israel bonds: “Every B’nai B’rith member an Israel Bond owner,” and recommended that every district be responsible for the sale of a share of the national goal in proportion to its numerical strength.
Philip Klutznick, president of the organization, told the leaders that “American Jewry will have no peace of mind until the problem of Israel is properly resolved. ” The most effective method of aiding Israel, he added, is to strengthen it economically through the sale of bonds.
