The creation of a new organization, “Jewish Renewal,” has been announced by a small group of young French professionals. The new group, which seeks to become a mass grassroots organization, is aimed at those Jews who support Israel and Jewish causes generally without, however, planning their own aliya to Israel in the immediate future.

The president of the new movement, Henri Hadjenberg, said Jewish Renewal will be affiliated to the World Zionist Organization and will work in close cooperation with the Jewish Agency. Hadjenberg said his organization plans to stage a “Salute to Israel Day” next spring and organize a Paris-Jerusalem exhibition within the next 18 months.
