Histadrut opens Atlanta office;
wins praise for apartheid stand
The active role taken by Israel’s
labor movement in training South
African black leaders in labor or
ganizational skills was praised by
Herbert H. Mabry, Georgia state
president of the AFL-CIO, at the
opening in Atlanta last month of a
new regional office of the Histad-
rut, Israel’s General Federation of
labor.
Also present at the opening were
Issachar Katzir, Israel’s consul
general in Atlanta, Yehuda Ebstein,
deputy executive vice president of
the national committee for Labor
lsrael-Histadrut, and representa
tives of local and regional organi
zations and trade unions.
“This new Histadrut program to
help black South Africans will
have the support of all Americans
who oppose South Africa’s racist
policies,” said Mabry.
Ebstein praised American Labor’s
long history of support for Israel
through the the Histadrut. He saw
the new program as an opportun
ity for Americans also to partic-
pate in “a positive and constructive
way in the search for a non-violent
solution to the problems in South
Africa.
Katzir said that the Histadrut is
a force for democracy in Israel and
for practical co-existence between
Arabs and Jews. Ninety percent of
the Jewish and Arab working pop
ulation in Israel,” he said, “are
members of the Histadrut.”
“They participate in a way of life
through the Histadrut’s health, ed
ucation and social welfare pro
grams which have been the basis of
Israel’s social system since long
before the establishment of the
state.”
Ebstein introduced newly ap
pointed Histadrut regional direc
tor Alec Aylat, whose territory
includes Georgia, Alabama, Ken
tucky, Louisiana, Mississippi,
North and South Carolina, Okla
homa, Tennessee and Texas.
“Americans all over the coun
try,” Aylat said, “have been sup
portive of Histadrut programs for
more than 60 years through the
National Committee for Labor Is
rael and I expect our friends in the
southeast will continue to rein
force these programs.”
Rabbi Shalom Lewis, president
of the Atlanta Rabbinic Associa
tion, affixed the traditional mezu-
za to the doorpost of the new
premises.
