Plans to establish a World Jewish Bible Research Society were revealed here today in connection with the opening conference of the Society. Zalaman Shazar, member of the Jewish Agency executive, will head a preparatory committee for the world research unit. Originally, the Israel unit was a small group but over the years the membership has grown and rational conferences are now attended by huge crowds of scholars and Biblical students who hear dozens of scholarly and scientific papers.
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.
