Included among the speakers were Rabbi Wolf Gold, president of the Mizrachi; Dr. Bernard Hausner, former Polish consul at Tel Aviv; Morris Asinof, chairman of the banquet committee; Gedaliah Bublick, Jewish journalist, and Rabbi Jacob Levenson. Harris L. Selig, director of the Mizrachi campaign, was toast master. Borough President Samuel Levy of Manhattan was also present.
