Three hundred delegates representing Zionist youth groups throughout the United States gathered here this week-end at a special national educational conference designed to afford young Zionists a “well-grounded picture of the Zionist Organization of America’s role” in the contemporary Zionist scene.
Addressing the delegates, Avraham Harman, director of the Israel Office of Information, lauded the part which American Jewry has played in helping to bring about the establishment of the state of Israel. Other speakers included Benjamin G. Browdy, Z.O.A. president, and Jacques Torezyner, president of the Manhattan Zionist Region. Dr. Emanuel Neumann, former Z.O.A. president, told the delegates last night that “nothing is more important for the future of the Zionist movement in the United States than the influx into its ranks of young people, bringing with them the idealism, enthusiasm and freshness of youth.”
