A delegation from the United States participated in celebrations here marking the 25th anniversary of Kfar Bnai Zion, a moshav north of Tel Aviv founded in 1947 with the help of Bnai Zion, the American fraternal order. A synagogue was dedicated by the Glory of Israel Hebrew Institute of East New York. The principal address was delivered by the institute’s president Judge Herbert I. Sorin. Other speakers included Bnai Zion Foundation chairman Harris J. Levine, who had participated in the 1947 ground-breaking ceremonies together with the late Dr. Abba Hillel Silver.
