After waiting a year and a half
The resolution, unanimously adopted, was presented by cific, his father, Solomon Naba-
!Lawrence Crohn after Rabbi
Morris Adler made a plea that
the stand proposed should be
taken by Shaarey Zedek. Abra-
ham Cooper, president of the
Zionist Organization of Detroit,
seconded the resolution.
600 Are Zionists
Abraham Srere led a group of
members of the congregation who
urged that the members go fur-
. ther and that membership in a
Zionist organization should be a
requisite for membership in
Shaarey Zedek. Such action was
deferred for future consideration
when it was pointed out that
close to 600 of Shaarey Zedek's
812 members already are affili-
ated Zionists and that the rest
are rapidly joining Zionist ranks.
The action taken by Congre-
gation Shaarey Zedek is a con-
tinuation of a new procedure fol-
lowed by many Conservative and
Orthodox congregations to enroll
their memberships en masse in
the Zionist Organization.
The Resolution
The resolution adopted by Con-
gregation Shaarey Zedek follows:
Congregation Shaarey Zedek
affirms its adherence to the
principles of Conservative Ju-
daism. For over three-quarters
of a century our synagogue has
maintained its allegiance to a
Judaism which emphasizes re-
ligious beliefs and practices
that stem from a living tradi-
tion. A great love of the Jew-
ish Past has not made for
stagnation, but on the contrary,
Conservative Jews are in the
forefront of the progressive
movements in Jewish life. Of
these, Zionism is foremost.
From the earliest days much of
the leadership of this great
cause has come from this
branch of the Jewish Syna-
gogue.
New Songs of Hope
The Jewish religion is rooted
in the life of the Jewish people.
Such a faith cannot forever
live on the momentum of the
past. Small wonder, therefore,
that from Palestine have come
new and vigorous ideas to sus-
tain that concept of the Jewish
People which Solomon Schech-
ter has termed a "Catholic
Israel." The centuries - old
longing for Zion now could be
translated into active support
for the upbuilding of modern
Palestine. Into the lives of our
ancient a n d long-suffering
people came new songs of Hope
and of Rebirth.
Congregation Shaarey Zedek
has always been closely identi-
fied with the work for Pales-
tine. The references to Zion
in our prayer book have always
toff, was notified on April 28.
Nabatoff was in the Parachute
Battalion and originally trained
at Fort Benning, Ga. He was
graduated from Northern High
and studied at Wayne University.
Besides his father, he is sus-
vived by five sisters, Mrs. Nina
Frankman, a WAAC stationed at
Daytona, Fla.; Mrs. I. Kruger of
1600 Seward, with whom Mr. Na-
batoff makes his home; Mrs. Sally
Yellen, Mrs. Elaine Sachs and
Mrs. Muriel Rock, all of New
York.

had real meaning for us. From
the pulpit the principles of
Modern Zionism have been
preached zealously and ardent-
ly for many years. A large
number of the leaders of the
local Zionist district always
came from this congregation.
Sense of Duty
Be it, therefore, resolved,
that, moved by a sense of duty
and solemn responsibility in
this tragic hour in the life of
our peopl e, Congregation
Shaarey Zedek hereby ex-
presses its wholehearted sup-
port of the Zionist movement,
which aims for the establish-
ment of a Jewish common-
wealth in Palestine.
Be it further resolved, at
this annual meeting, that we
call upon the members of this
Congregation to join the Zion-
ist ranks by affiliating with the
Zionist Organization of Amer-
ica, or some other Zionist body
of their choice; and thus to
