The national Avukah convention will meet this year in this city, sessions beginning on Thursday, December 25, and extending for four days through Sunday, December 28. It is expected that large delegations from all over the country will attend the several events planned here by a committee headed by Morris Michelson, one of the national Avukah vice-presidents.
The plans include, in addition to the several convention sessions to take place at Temple Israel and Harvard University and discussion groups, an informal reception on Wednesday evening, Friday evening services, walking tours of historic Boston, Lexington, and Concord on Saturday and Sunday mornings, a formal dance at the University Club on Saturday evening, a reception to the honorary committee at the Hotel Statler on Sunday afternoon, and the convention climax on Sunday evening, a huge youth meeting, sponsored by the Boston Junior Hadassah organization, to which all the youth groups of the community are invited.
