I. >l. LIEBERMAN
At the opening meeting of the
year, the Jacksonville Zionist Dis
trict, which met Monday night in
the Jewish Center heard an inspir
ing report of the Memphis con
vention from I. M. Lieberman and
Harry Katz. Prior to the report
the meeting was opened by I. M.
Lieberman who introduced Abe
Newman. Mr. Newman in turn
installed the new set of officers
who were recently elected.
NEW OFFICERS INSTALLED
Harry Katz was installed as
president; Dr. Sam Witten took
the seat of first vice-president
and Joseph Strauss as second
vice-president. Murray Glickstein
was re-elected secretary, and Jack
Decker is treasurer. Following
11 „• installation of officers the
new president announced his new
committee chairmen. ~*e:

and Harry Katz.
Mr. I. M. Lieberman then re
ported on the business sessions of
the conference and the symposium
which was held on Sunday. He
also told of the Oneg Shabbat
which was tendered the delegates
by the Senior Hadassah chapter
of Memphis.
Harry Katz then told of the two
outstanding addresses made dur
ing the convention, one by Rabbi
J. Marks of Nashville, Tenn., and
the other by Rabbi J. Heller. At
the Friday night services which
were held Rabbi Marks said,
“Zionism has a strong appeal for
unity among all Jews —a plea that
Jews solidify themselves so as to
work in closer harmony because in
harmony and cooperation there is
strength, and Zionism knows no
distinction between rich and poor —
orthodox or reformed.” The Rabbi
went on to say, Mr. Katz reported,
•'lt’s (Zionism) purpose is to es
tablish a national home or state
for all Jews. Jews, wherever
they may be, who desire to go
there and live by voluntary choice
or as a haven of refuge, or those
already there who choose to re
main; but above all things it
should be a matter of right and
not by sufferance.”
One of the most pertinent ques
tions which he answered was:
Why contribute to Palestine when
its future is so uncertain? Rabbi
Mark told of the courageous
Yishuv who is willing to die fight
ing for their little homeland. This
group is looking to us for encour
agement and support, he said. He
also declared that if the allies
lose this war Jewry is doomed
all Jewry, not ony Palestine, and
that we must continue fighting for
our homeland while we still may.
Rabbi James Heller’s speech,
was dynamic, Mr. Katz said. He
asked for a "Renewed Zionist
Allegiance.” Jews were in a death
struggle for existence. Even if
this war is won, where will they
go at the conclusion? “What a
blessing if they can go to Pales
tine,” he declared. "The answer
is with us,” he ended.
NEXT MEETING
Mr. Katz’s report was heartily
received by the assemblage. The
next meeting of the district will
be held in the Center on January
12th at 8:15 o’clock, it was an
nounced. All those interested are
invited to attend.

letter we had received two weeks
ago from a cousin seven times re
moved whom we had never met
who wrote us to look out for “her
boy” in Camp Wheeler, Ga. . • .
, “Her boy” had never been away
from home . . . “Her boy” loved
his parents dearly . . . Would we
kindly look after him? . . . Then
there was another letter from
Camp Wheeler telling of the low
morale there because no Christmas
leaves had been issued . . .
; All that is changed now . . .
“Her,boy” and millions of others
like him have grown in stature
over night . . . They are defend
ers of a nation . . . Upon their
strength rests the destiny of hu
manity . . . And we received an
! other letter from the one who had
, written us of the low morale in
his camp . . . What yesterday he
i was too indifferent to understand.
