Romanian Emigration Is Product
of Zionism, Redelheim Tells ZOD
"Zionist concepts which were
conceived to shape events in
the Jewish historical process
are dramatically evident in the
movement of Jews from Ro-
mania to Israel," Abraham
Redelheim, president of the
Zionist Organization of Am-
erica told a large audience of
Detroit Jews Wednesday night.
Speaking at a meeting of the
Zionist Organization of Detroit,
held at Beth Aaron Synagogue,
Redelheim stated that "the
strong element of inevitability
in this latest ingathering of
Jews into Israel was spelled
out by Theodor Herzl before
the turn of the century, and
it has been repeatedly con-
firmed during the, • 60 years
that followed.
"And history is again under-
scoring the correctness of the
Zionist thesis that a free and
independent Jewish state is in-
dispensable for solution of the
Jewish problem in whatever
form or circumstance it may
occur."
The ZOA leader continued,
"If there were no state of
Israel today, these Jews would
be without hope." He said that
the emigration from Romania
imposes "special obligations on
those of us who* view the prob-
lem not merely in terms of
philanthropy."
He called for the strengthen-
ing of Zionist organizational
apparatus and full activation
of each district and region,
and urged ZOD leaders to take
the lead in behalf of the
United Jewish Appeal, Israel
Bond drive and other vital
efforts on Israel's behalf.
Redelheim said that Egypt's
Premier Nasser has again
given the "big lie" to the new
influx of emigrees- by stating
that there are pro-Communist
implications in the latest ex-
odus.
"One must be hopelessly gul-
lible to be taken in by this
new bit of topsy-turvy argu-
mentation," he said. He warned,
however, that Zionists must be
on guard against the Arab
propaganda machine.
The ZOA president outlined
a four-point program to fulfill
the goals of Zionism in Am-
erica today. These are;
1. The extension and expan-
sion of work in the public
relations sphere to mobilize
public opinion in support of
Israel's political independence
and territorial integrity;
2. Maintaining "the banner
unity" of the Jewish people
throughout the world by Israel-
Diaspora relations - a major
concern;
3. Revitalizing the approach
to the Zionist youth program
through emphasis on the He-
brew language and literature
and continuing work in the
field of Aliyah; and
4. Providing greater applica-
tion to the problems of the
American Jewish community
"so that the Zionist approach,
rather than defense psychology

or the old philanthropic ap-
proach, shall provide character
and form to American Jewish
thought and action:"
At a dinner at the Sheraton-
Cadillac Hotel given by some
50 local Zionist leaders, Abra-
ham Borman, president of the
ZOD, presented Redelheim
with a $2,000 check for the
American Zionist_ Fund.
Mrs. I. Walter Silver, ZOD
secretary and program chair-
man, extended greetings, and
Leon Kay, ZOA vice-president
from Detroit, introduced the
speaker. A new film, "Israel
An Adventure" also was part
of the program.
