Seven Liberals, three Zionists and one Conservative were elected as the new Executive of the Board of the Berlin Jewish Community at the meeting of the Board held to-day, with Herr Heinrich Stern, the President of the Federation of Liberal Jews in Germany, in the chair. Thus the Liberal Jews, who from the foundation of the Community controlled its affairs until the Zionists won the control from them at the elections in 1926, have again taken charge of the leadership of the Community.
Herr Wilhelm Kleemann, Director of the Dresden Bank, will, it appears certain, be elected the new President of the Berlin Jewish Community.
