The European Mizrachi Conference concluded here last night with the adoption of a resolution calling on the membership of the entire Mizrachi movement to devote itself to solidifying the foundations of the Jewish state which, the resolution said, “needs the mass immigration of all traditionally-minded Jews.”
In a series of other resolutions, the parley deplored the Israel Government’s negative attitude on matters dealing with religious principles, particularly the matter of Sabbath observance and the importation of non-Kosher meat. The delegates also expressed regret that Israel’s economic policy is “alienating” private capital and enterprise.
The conference also called for the establishment of a commission of inquiry to effect a maximum of economy in the operations of the Jewish Agency and the Jewish National Fund. Finally, the delegates suggested the holding of a world conference to improve relations between the Mizrachi movement and the Labor Mizrachists.
