The fifteenth annual convention of Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America, will be held late in September, it was announced at the Hadassah headquarters. A Hadassah convention in the Fall is a departure from the usual custom of holding it at about the same time as that of the Zionist Organization, which this year will be from June 30 to July 2 at Detroit.
The postponement was decided by a majority vote of the 287 chapters of Hadassah, to which the national board recommended that the convention be held after the World Zionist Congress, to take place in Zurich in July. Some problems upon which the Congress will take action will directly affect Hadassah, so that holding the convention after the Congress would give Hadassah an opportunity to act upon the Congress decision, it was stated.
A conference of women Zionists from twenty-five cities in New York will be held on Tuesday at the Hotel Manger, under the auspices of Hadassah, to organize a Lower New York State Regional Unit.
