The Jews of Waterbury yesterday held a mass meeting under the auspices of the Zionist district and associated Jewish organizations to mark the first anniversary of last year’s Palestine riots. S. Lipetz, chairman of the Waterbury Zionist district, presided. The speakers were Rabbi Moses D. Sheinkopf and Rabbi Judah H. Levenburg of New Haven.

Rabbi Sheinkopf declared, “Our martyrs have not died in vain but will reinspire world Jewry with the zeal and determination to proceed with the task of rebuilding Palestine as the Jewish National Homeland.”
