American Jews who joined the Zionist movement in this country in 1930 or earlier are invited to become members of the Brith Rishonim of the United States, an organization of veteran Zionists. The invitation was extended at a meeting of the organization held at the American Zionist Council here under the chairmanship of Louis Lipsky.
The organization endeavors to collect and preserve data dealing with the history of the Zionist movement in this country, particularly the individual contributions made by American Zionists in the pre-State development of the Jewish National Home. Members meet from time to time in order to give public expression to opinion on important issues in current Zionist life.
In presenting a report on membership enrollment and program of activities, Morris Margulies, honorary secretary of the Brith Rishonim, emphasized that the board of officers of the organization included members from all Zionist groups in the United States and consists of: Louis Lipsky, president; S. Federbush and Samuel Margoshes, vice-presidents; Meyer Brown, treasurer, Morris Margulies, honorary secretary; Paul L. Goldman, Mrs. Rose L. Halprin, Rabbi Mordecai Kirshblum, Joseph B. Schechtman, Louis Segal and Robert Szold.
