From the World Zionist Organization Editor's Note: Rabbi Maimon described himself as "last of the first Mizra- chi" since he had been a delegate to the constituent assembly of the movement, in 1902, and directed it for 50 years. He had been the first Mizrachi leader to effect aliya, in 1913, but throughout his life he had been a Zionist leader be- yond the confines of his own party. A prolific writer who had published 42 books, he was charac- terized by three great loves, as Ben-Gurion put it:" his love of the Jewish people, his love of the land of Israel and the Torah of Israel and his love of the Jewish book.
