"Traditionally, the mo- ment they move to Israel, many Israelis have tended to disregard Zionism," la- ments Zimuki. "They no longer see the relevance of thier links with the Jewish people outside Israel." A Jerusalemite for more than 40 years, Zimuki has lived through wars, siege and division. But although the city has developed immeasurably for the better since reunification in 1967, the Israeli journalist feels it is not always looked upon, either by Israelis or by the Diaspora, as the capital of the Zionist state. The Zionist Council hopes to persuade Jewish and Zionist federations abroad to hold all their conventions in Jerusalem. The Council also has plans to raise fi- nances for a Zionist Center, perhaps on the lines of Tel Aviv's Beth Hatefutsoth which reflects the story of the Diaspora. The center would contain facilities for Zionist educational and in- formational activities as well as depicting the little known story of Zionism through modern tech- niques. This "Jerusalem Lobby" is the latest program on the agenda of the Zionist Coun- cil which in 10 years has be- come an influential force within the world Zionist map. There are 30 branches around the country, mostly in development towns, in- volving tens of thousands of Israelis. At last year's con- vention 850 elected dele- gates attended. Zimuki himself sits on the executive of the WZO (World Zionist Organiza- tion) and the 36 members of the Zionist Council's execu- tive are chosen by 85 public bodies in Israel. Eleven study centers for young people have been estab- lished around the country and seven Nahar settle- ments set up. Under the council's auspices thousands of children are taken to vacation work on kibutzim and allocated pen pals in the Diaspora. The council relies mainly on voluntary work. Zimuki himself ful- fills the role of chairman without salary, working out of the council's mod- est Jerusalem office for an average of eight hours a day. At the same time he remains one of the most widely read political commentators of the Is- Facts are to the mind, what food is to the body. On the due digestion of the former depend the strength and wisdom of the one, just as vigor and health depend on the other. nalists. Married with two daugh- ters, one a lawyer and the other a journalist, Zimuki recently became a grand- father for the first time. Zimuki squeezes a lot of action into 24 hours. He is a Zionist leader who leads by example. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ 4 NOT SO •••••• ♦♦♦ •• ♦ ♦ t1402 S.
