Masada, Youth Zionist Organization of America, is planning its second annual convention, to be held in Philadelphia early in October.
The convention committee expects a large attendance at this meeting since Masada’s position within the ranks of the Zionist Organization was reaffirmed at the recent Zionist conclave at Atlantic City as the official youth group.
Masada expects to draw within its ranks all Youth Zionist groups in communities which have not joined as yet.
The membership of the order since its inception into ZOA ranks in 1933 has jumped from 300 to 1,224. The organization now has fifty-two chapters in thirty-nine cities and fourteen states.
