After a lapse of several years
caused by wartime restrictions,
the American Jewish Congress
will convene once again. From
headquarters of the A.J.C., a call
went out summoning American
Jewry to a postwar convention.
It will be held from Wednesday,
May 29, to Sunday, June 2, 1946,
at the Hotel New Yorker in New
York City.
In the official convention call, it
is stated that in addition to the
accredited de;egates, all who "are
not indifferent to the question of
whether or not Israel is to have a
future" are invited to come to this
National Convention of the A.J.C.
and actively participate in shap-
ing a realistic program for the
American Jewish Community.
