Masada, youth affiliate of the Zionist Organization of America, today reported that among the resolutions adopted at its recently-concluded annual convention in Sharon, Mass., was an endorsement of President Truman’s civil rights program which won the unanimous approval of the 200 delegates attending the parley.
The Masada meeting also decided to “increase Zionist activity and build a creative Jewish life in America.” Fostering of Jewish educational programs in the United States, with particular emphasis on history, the rise of Zionism and Israel today, was also advocated by the delegates, who represented branches in 12 states.
