A Zionist colony in Palestine will bear the name of a leading American city according to plans adopted by a group of Cleveland, Ohio Zionists.
A group of leading Zionists of Cleveland at a luncheon held last week pledged to raise the amount of $100,000 in the course of four years as a contribution towards the Jewish National Fund, the Zionist Agency for the acquisition of land in Palestine, on the understanding that the fund is to be used for the establishment of a colony, which is to bear the name of Cleveland.
The decision was taken following an appeal by Abraham Goldberg, Zionist leader of New York. George J. Klein was chosen Chairman of a special committee in charge of this project. It is planned to interest a group of 200 Cleveland Jews as founders of the colony.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
