UJA, Israel Bond Founder
Henry Montor Dies at 76
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Henry Montor, who worked
closely with David Ben-
Gurion and Golda Meir in
the years prior to and im-
mediately after the found-
ing of the state of Israel and
who was one of the most inf-
luential Jewish leaders in
the United States during
that period, died April 15.
He was 76.
Mr. Montor was a prime
mover in the establishment
of the United Jewish Appeal
nd the chief architect and
der of the Israel Bond
rganization.
Mr. Montor's influence
was frequently felt. One
example of this took place in
July 1945 when Ben-
Gurion, who was later to be-
come Israel's first premier,
was in the United States,
and called on Mr. Montor to
help him obtain support for
the Hagana, the Jewish
community's defense organ-
ization.
Within 24 hours Mr.
Montor assembled some
40 of the foremost Jewish
business leaders from
across the country.
They met with Ben-
Gurion at the home of New
York Industrialist Rudolf
Sonneborn. Out of that
meeting emerged an organ-
ization informally known as
the "Sonneborn Group"
which channeled supplies
and equipment for the nuc-
leus of Israel's defense in-
dustry.
Born in Nova Scotia, he
was brought to the United
States at age 2. He grew up
in Pittsburgh and in

I keep telling my partner,
