NEW YORK, (JTA) — Max
Bressler, president of the Zion-
ist Organization of America,
proposed that aliyah be under-
stood to mean not a mass move-
ment of Jews to Israel but a
process of facilitating move-
ment of American Jews to
Israel for temporary service or
permanent settlement.
That approach to aliyah was
cited by Bressler as part of a
program which had to be im-
plemented to assure the future
of the Zionist movement in the
United States. Other elements
he listed were tourism, inten-
sive Jewish education, further-
ance of Hebrew language and
culture, and investments in
Israel. He spoke at the first
session of a four-day meeting
of the National Exec utive
Council of the ZOA.
He announced the ZOA would
act to help meet the problems
of housing for American new-
comers, both temporary and
permanent, through a program
of building apartments in vari-
ous cities financed by an Israeli
building firm.
Dr. Emanuel Neumann, ZOA
honorary president and mem-
ber of the Jewish Agency exe-
cutive, described the recent ex-
change of criticisms between
the United .Arab Republic and
the Soviet Union as "little more
than a 'lovers' quarrel' which
has already blown over." He
warned that the Kennedy Ad-
ministration was likely to face
another test of American for-
eign policy in the near future,
this time in the Middle East.
Later, the ZOA embarked on
an intensive campaign to raise
funds for increasing the or-
ganization's educational activi-
ties, as well as those projects
aimed at promoting immigra-
tion to Israel from the U. S.
At the closing session of the
meeting, the organization also
a-dopted a resolution urging the
United States Government to
ratify the United Nations Geno- day sessions.
