It published a periodical, The Bronx Zionist.

He will discuss the work of the ZOA, particularly its roll call and the Zionist Extension Fund which was created for the stimulation of cultural and educational activities in accordance with the plan submitted to the national convention last July by Morris Rothenberg, president of the Zionist Organization of America.
