The Mizrachi Organization of America has launched a drive to raise $200,000 for the Mizrachi Palestine Fund, officers announced following a conference held at the Hotel Pennsylvania.
The campaign will raise the money by means of a popular campaign and by the establishment of an organization to be called Agudath Bnei El Chai. Ten thousand members, each contributing the sum of $18, will be sought.
Regional conferences to be held throughout the country will be called by rabbis and other prominent Jewish workers.
Rabbi M. S. Margolies will confer with about a hundred orthodox rabbis in New York in this connection. The quota for the city is $75,000.
Members of the Board of Governors to consist of 500 rabbis and prominent orthodox leaders, will each be asked to contribute $100 to the fund. The organization will also make an attempt to secure 50,000 individual contributions of one dollar.
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.
