The convening of an all-day National Zionist Planning Conference on Sunday, May 16, with the participation of delegates from all Zionist organizations in this country to formulate a program of unified action to strengthen Zionism’s role in the future of the American Jewish community was announced today in a joint statement by Dr. Max Nussbaum, chairman, and Nathaniel S. Rothenberg, chairman of the Administrative Committee of the American Zionist Council.
The American Zionist Council is the coordinating body of nine constituent recognized Zionist organizations on the American scene. “The issues which will be debated and acted upon at this national Zionist Planning Conference will encompass such major items as plans for intensified participation of the Zionist movement in Jewish communal affairs, the deepening of Jewish consciousness and the harnessing within the organized Zionist orbit of forces for strengthening the emotional and practical attachment of the American Jews to Israel,” the announcement said.
