ZOA Mourns Death of

Mizrachi Favors
New Sanhedrin

TEL AVIV—(JTA)—A decision
to support the demand of Orth-
odox elements in Israel for re-
constitution of the Sanhedrin,
the ancient supreme religious
authority which existed in Israel
until the dispersal of the Jews
about 2,000 years ago, was
adopted at a national confer-
ence of Mizrachi rabbis. The
•conference also decided to start
preparations for the reestablish-
ment of the Sanhedrin.
Rabbi J. L. Maimon, Israel's
Minister of Religion, advancing
a number of arguments for the
revival of the Sanhedrin, re-
vealed that the Agudas Israel,
extreme Orthodox organization,
demanded the right for itself
to establish rabbinical courts.
He said that as Minister of Re-
ligion he strongly opposed this
demand on the ground that if
such -rights are granted to the
Agudah other grodps may re-
quest similar rights. •

French Mizrachi Opposes
Abolition of Party System

PARIS—(JTA) — The nation-
al conference of the Mizrachi
Organization of France adopted
a resolution opposing the aboli-
tion of the party system in the
Zionist movement. The dele-
gates asserted that the Zionist
parties still have an important
role to play in preparing the
Jewish people outside Israel for
immigration. Another resolu-
tion congratulated members of
the Religious Bloc in the Israel
Cabinet for their struggle to
mold the Jewish state along
traditional religious lines. .

Edmund I. Kaufmann

NEW YORK.—The deep sense
of sorrow at the passing of Ed-
mund I. Kaufmann, noted phil-
anthropist and former ZOA pres-
ident, who died in Washington,
D.C., was voiced this week in a
statement by Benjamin G.
Browdy, president of the Zion-
ist Organization of America. Mr.
Kaufmann was 64 years old. He
was a native Detroiter.
The deceased had served as
president of the ZOA for a
period of 15 months, having
been elected to that office at the
43rd annual convention of the
organization in Pittsburgh in
June, 1940. He served in that
capacity until the 44th annual
convention held in Cincinnati,
Sept. 5, 1941, when, due to ill
health, he declined to run for
reelection.
In his tribute to the former
Z 0 A president, Mr. Browdy
stressed the vital role which the
ZOA played during the fateful
year of 1940 under the direction
of Mr. Kaufmann, when Hitler's
hordes were overrunning Europe
and Jewish Palestine was faced•
with great danger. Mr. Browdy
pointed out the significant fact
that at the behest of Mr. Kauf-
mann the national headquarters
of the ZOA were transferred to
Washington, D.C., in that year.
Mr. Browdy also stressed the
role which the deceased had
played in Zionism in the past 10
years, laying particular empha-
sis on his activities in Washing-
ton where he enjoyed a high
reputation for his integrity and
Jewish consciousness.
Mr. Kaufmann was one of the
national leaders in AMPAL-
American Palestine Trading Cor-
poration—and was active in the
movement to assist the Weiz
mann Institute in Rehovoth, Is-
rael.

in Detroit .business circles and
a leader in religious activities
here, died July 16 at the age of
70.
Mr. Gordon who was born in
London, Ontario, was active for
a number of years as adviser to
the Junior Congregation of
Shaarey Zedek. At the time of
his death he was a manufac-
turers Agent. After World War
I, he was a member of the
wholesale dry goods firm of
Klein & Gordon.
Funeral services were held at
Kaufman Chapel July 18. • Rab-
bis A. M. Hershman and Benja-
min Gorrelick and Cantor J. H.
Sonenklar officiated. Interment
was in Clover Hill Park Ceme-
tery. -
Mr. Gordon's survivors are his
wife, Anna; three sons, Louis,
Milton and Rabbi Albert A. Gor-
don of Sioux City, Ia.; a sister,
Mrs. Pinkus Nodel, and a broth-
er, Ben of St. Louis.

Gunsberg wishes to express sin-
