The Central Board of Hungarian Jewry has decided to expand its representation to include delegates from provincial Jewish organizations and Orthodox Jews, pending the adoption of a new constitution to include all sections of the Hungarian Jewish community.
Following the drafting and acceptance of the constitution, a conference of all Hungarian Jewish organizations will be held to name an executive for the Jewish community. Lajos Stoekler, president of the Jewish community council of Budapest, said he expected the constitution to be ready shortly and that it would bring about unification and stabilization of the largest Jewish community in Europe.
