Four Large Rabbinical Associations
Join the American Zionist Federation
NEW YORK—Four of the largest
rabbinical associations in the
United States — Los Angeles, Chi-
cago, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
—with a total membership of over
500 rabbis, have joined the Ameri-
can Zionist Federation as organi-
zational members as a part of
the campaign to enroll a million
Zionists in the United States and
Canada before the next World
Zionist Congress in December
1971, it was announced by Rabbi
Israel Miller, president of the
American Zionist Federation, which
will celebrate its first anniversary
this May.
The Chicago Board of Rabbis,
which has 170 members in Chi-
cago, and neighboring Illinois and
Indiana communities, is headed
by Rabbi Moses Mescheloff.
Applauding the formation of the
American Zionist Federation na-
tionally, Rabbi Philip Schroit,
president of the Board of Rabbis
of Southern California, said that
"we feel privileged to be among
the first boards of rabbis to join
as corporate affiliates. The Jeru-
salem Program represents the
goals and aspirations subscribed
to by the majority of Jews and
is consistent with the high idealS
of Judaism."
In joining the federation, the
150-member Board of Rabbis of
Greater Philadelphia, which also
includes Camden County, N.J.;
Wilmington, Del. ; and Harrisburg
and Bethlehem, Pa., its president,
Rabbi Elias Charry, said that it
was appropriate that the Philadel-
phia board, the city in which the
American Zionist Federation was
born on May 28-31, 1970, should be
among the early rabbinical groups
joining the American Zionist Fed-
eration.
In a resolution that called "upon
every synagogue as a body to be-
come part of the new Zionist Fed-
eration and to incorporate their
congregants not now affiliated
with the Zionist organization to
join as individual members of the
American Zionist Federation," the
resolution of the Philadelphia
Board of Rabbis said that "it had
joined the federation, conscious
of the need of consolidating exist-
ing Zionist forces and of reaching
out to the wider community." The
resolution further endorses the
establishment of local Zionist fed-
erations , so as to "strengthen a
central organization of Zionist ac-
tivity in this country, it being un-
derstood that each constituent of
the new organization will continue
with its own programs and proj-
ects in Israel and in the United
States."
The Greater Pittsburgh Rab-
binic Fellowship has a member-
ship of 70 rabbis from Pittsburgh,
Western Pennsylvania, West Vir-
ginia and Eastern Ohio.
Dr. Miriam Freund, a vice pres-
ident of the American Zionist Fed-
eration, is chairman of its commit-
tee on corporate affiliates which
deals with memberships with
boards of rabbis, synagogues and
national and local fraternal and
club groups.
Par for January according to
Treasury calculations is 9.5 per
cent of the annual goal. Of Michi-
gan's 83 counties, 26 accounted for
a higher percentage than that of
their 1971 quotas.

Italian Jews Protesting Ideas of Pardon of Ex-Nazi
ROME (JTA) — Rome's Jewish
community sent telegrams Sunday
to President Giuseppe Saragat and
Premier Emilio Colombo protest-
ing suggestions that a convicted
Nazi war criminal now serving a
life sentence in Italy should be
pardoned.
Similar telegrams were sent to
the chairman of the Italian Senate.
They referred to suggestions by
some West German officials that
Italy pardon Herbert Kappler, a
former SS officer who was con-
victed in connection with the Ar-
deatine Caves massacre of 1944
in which 330 persons including 80
Jews were murdered by the Nazis.
