A banquet to honor Dr. Abba Hillel Silver, veteran American Zionist leader, was tendered at ZOA House here last night. Earlier, a new dining hall and dormitory building, donated by Joseph Foster of Massachusetts and the Goodman family of New York, were dedicated at Kfar Silver, a ZOA project honoring Rabbi Silver.
At the banquet, Dr. Silver told Zionists abroad that “our work is not done until the outstanding problems confronting Israel in the second decade are solved.” He urged “those who initiated the effort of building the state” to “see it through” to completion.
