The colonies will honor Rabbi Wolf Gold, Palestine Mizrachi leader; Rabbi B.D. Levinthal, dean of Orthodox rabbis in the U.S. and the late Dr. Bernard Revel, former president of Yeshiva College in New York. Mr. Gellman praised the activities of the JNF and expressed gratification that it has received the cooperation of all sections of the Zionist movement.
