Based on the action of Temple Adath Israel of the Bronx in establishing a new type of membership in the Zionist movement, a special committee, headed by Rabbi Henry A. Schorr of the Temple, will spread the idea among the American Jews. The plan carried out by the Bronx synagogue makes membership in the congregation co-extensive with membership in the Zionist Organization of America. The temple treasurer pays the dues from congregational funds. Details of the plan will be sent to rabbis and congregation boards all over the United States with the plea that this action be followed.
