The importance of Palestine as a spiritual fatherland for all Jews and as a practical place of refuge for the persecuted Jews all over the world was emphasized by Rabbi S. Sax in an address before the third annual convention of the Ontario Zionist Region which concluded here.
One hundred and twenty-five delegates from eighteen cities and towns in Ontario participated in the convention. The financial report stated that the Ontarion Region supplied forty-one percent of the sum collected in Canada for Zionist purposes in 1932, twenty-three Jewish communities in Ontario having contributed the sum of $27,222.
Among the resolutions there is one asking the British government to facilitate the immigration of German Jews into Palestine. Another resolution urges that steps be taken to combat anti-Semitism in Ontario.
The conference was addressed by A. J. Freiman, president of the Zionist Organization in Canada; E. P. Singer, Member of the Provincial Parliament; Henry S. Rosenberg, president of the Ontario Zionist Region, and others.
