Great Interest of U. S. Jewry for Israel's
Struggle for Survival Seen at ZOA Parley
by Leo H. Frisch
Editor-Publisher, The American Jewish World
WASHINGTON, (AJP) — A
resurgent Zionist Organization of
America met here this past week
with more than 1200 delegates and
friends in attendance. It was evi
dent that Israel’s crucial struggle
to maintain itself against over
whelming odds had made a deep
impression on the American Jew
ish communities, and brought to
the deliberations representations
from the states and centers of
population.
Many who had doubted the
further need for the organization
following the establishment of the
State eight years ago now realiz
ed that the chances for Israel’s
survival would be enhanced and
that perhaps they depended on
the sustained interest and devo
tion of those of its friends who
organized for that purpose.
One result has been a reversal
in the downward membership
trend with a reported gain of
16,500 enrolled this year bringing
the ZOA’s total to 107,000, the
highest in years.
As was to be anticipated, Israel’s
precarious political situation oc
cupied the center of attention.
Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver’s mast
erful address at the opening ses
sion stressed that to attempt “to
achieve peace and stability in the
Middle East without including
Israel as a focal point in any
peace strategy” cannot but result
in failure.
Dr. Emanuel Neumann, newly-
elected president of the ZOA,
while expressing concern with
“certain aspects of American for
eign policy,” re-affirmed the tra
ditional non-partisan character of
the organization and declared
that “we do not seek the triumph
or defeat of any party.” Dr. Neu
mann had served as ZOA presi
dent from 1947 to 1949.
Emphasizing the “bi-partisan
ideals of Zionism which have been
consistently and faithfully sub
scribed to by every American
President and both the great

parties,” Rabbi Miller rejected as
“False and unworthy” the “innu
endoes of a small but vicious
minority that the votes of Ameri
can Jews are for sale to the high
est bidder.”
Vice President Nixon speaking
at the Sunday afternoon session,
and Senator Estes Kefauver at
the dinner that evening honoring
the outgoing ZOA president, Mor
timer May of Nashville, Tenn.,
both agreed that the preservation
of the State of Israel was in the
best interests of America and of
world peace. But thfcV disagreed
as to which party fcould best work
for Middle East peace.

While the political addresses
made the headlines, other vitally
important aspects of American
Zionism activity drew the atten
tion and participation of the del
egates.
The strengthening of the basic
spiritual and ethical values un
derlying the mutual heritage that
binds America and Israel was seen
as a major objective for the
American Zionist movement by
Mortimer May. Mr. May saw in
the State of Israel a fount of in
spiration for Jews throughout the
world. “We in America,” he said,
“feel constantly the need of in
spiration coming from a vital and
virile Jewish people in an inviron-
ment wholly congenial and there
fore able to produce Jewish in
terpretations and Jewish values
which cannot come into being in

Mr. May called upon Zionists
to “create a climate of greater
ardor for Jewish learning and the
Hebrew tongue” in this country.
Towards the fulfillment of this
goal, he urged extension of the
teaching of Hebrew into more
public high schools and colleges,
and the increase in the number
of Jewish Day-schools which
stress Hebrew and Jewish culture
in all its aspects rather than mere
‘fossilized’ tradition.
That the great body of dele
gates were in agreement with this
point of view became evident
when they overwhelmingly voted
for a resolution favoring pilot day
schools over the objection from
a Los Angeles representative who
expressed the fear that it might
result in loss of contributions
from opponents of the day school
movement in his community.
The fact that the overwhelming
majority of the delegates were in
their fifties and sixties pointed
up the need for filling the gap
by intensifying the organization
of young Zionists. Mr. May re
ported a spur in this field with
38 young Zionist Districts now in
operation, 17 of them formed dur
ing the past year.
