U.S. Zionist Groups
To Compete In Election

In May, members of 16
American Zionist organiza-
tions will elect 152 delegates to
the World Zionist Congress
(incorrectly called the World
Zionist Assembly in "Tug of
War," Jan. 16), to be held in
Jerusalem in December.
The election will be held via
the mail. Voters will cast bal-
lots for one of the American
Zionist Federation's con-
stituent organizations, rather
than for an individual candi-
date. Each organization has
drawn up its own slate of dele-
gates. The number of delegates
an organization sends to the
Congress will be determined
by the proportion of votes it re-
ceives.
To be eligible to vote in the
May election, one must join one
of the Zionist groups listed
below by early February:
American Jewish League
for Israel was organized in
1956 to enlist American Jews
in the ranks of the Zionist
movement. The AJLI, which is
not aligned with any political
party in Israel, seeks and
encourages civic and religious
pluralism in Israeli society.
Americans for Progress-
ive Israel. Since 1948, API has
promoted the kibbutz move-
ment, the Givat Haviva Insti-
tute and the activities of the
socialist-Zionist aliyah youth
movement, Hashomer Hatzair.
Members of API participate in
public forums and seminars
focusing on religious pluralism
in Israel, aliyah of American
Jews and self-determination
for Palestinian Arabs and all
people in the Middle East.
American Zionist Youth
Council is the representative
body of Betar, B'nei Akiva,
Habonim Dror, Hamagshimin,
Hashomer Hatzair, Masada
and Netzer/Reform Zionist
Youth. The role of the AZYC is
to serve as an interface be-
tween the Zionist youth
movements, the American
Jewish community and the
American Zionist movement.
Its activities include monthly
up-date meetings concerning
the regional and national ac-
tivities of the youth move-
ments, discussions regarding
formulas for outreach and
plans for intermovement ac-
tivities.
AMIT Women, formerly
American Mizrachi Women, is
America's largest women's
religious Zionist organization
and Israel's official network for
religious secondary technolog-
ical education. It sponsors
comprehensive academic tech-
nical high schools, Youth
Aliyah villages, community
centers and child-care pro-
grams. In the United States,
AMIT Women takes an active
role in Zionist affairs and pro-
motes cultural activities for
the purpose of strengthening
traditional Jewish life.
Association of Reform
Zionists of America is an
organization of members of the
Reform movement's Union of
American Hebrew Congrega-
tions who identify as Zionists

under the banner of Reform
Judaism. ARZA's goal is to
strengthen personal, political
and financial support for the
State of Israel. It is particu-
larly concerned with the build-
ing of Reform Judaism and
pursuing religious pluralism
in Israel.
B'nai Zion is the largest
American Zionist fraternal
organization. Founded in 1908,
it now numbers almost 30,000
families. B'nai Zion fosters the
principles of Americanism,
fraternalism and Zionism. It
offers its members life insur-
ance, health insurance and
other benefits and sponsors
various projects in Israel, such
as settlements, youth centers,
medical clinics, Beit Halochem
Rehabilitation and Recreation
Centers for Disabled Israeli
War Veterans, homes for re-
tarded children and the Haifa
Medical Center.
Emunah Women of
America is part of a worldwide
volunteer movement and is
affiliated with the largest reli-
gious women's organization in
Israel. Through its day-care
centers, kindergartens, voca-
tional high schools, residential
youth villages, adult educa-
tion, senior citizen programs
and a community college com-
plex in Jerusalem, it fosters a
commitment to meet the social
and educational needs, within
a Torah environment, of the
people of Israel. Its network ex-
tends to 22 countries.
Hadassah. Founded in 1912
by Henrietta Szold, Hadassah
is the largest Jewish women's
and Zionist organization in the
United States. In Israel,
Hadassah built and maintains.
the Hadassah-Hebrew Univer-
sity Medical Center, as well as
three educational institutions.
It also provides support for
Youth Aliyah. In the United
States, Hadassah offers pro-
grams that enhance members'
awareness of their Jewish and
Zionist heritage and teaches
them about contemporary
American and Israeli affairs.
Hadassah sponsors the Zionist
youth movement, Young
Judea/Hashachar, which ex-
poses youth to Zionist culture
through clubs, summer camps
and Israel experiences.
Herut-USA supports the
aims of Israel's Likud party. It
stands for peace with security,
the retention and settlement of
the heartland of an indivisible
Eretz Yisrael, a dynamic free-
enterprise economy, the repat-
riation of Soviet and other op- c _/
pressed Jews, aliyah from the
free world and intensified
Jewish education to combat as-
similiation and intolerance.
Herut in Israel was formed by
Menachem Begin, a disciple of
Ze'ev Jabotinsky.
Labor Zionist Alliance ad-
vocates democracy and social
justice in Israel and in the
United States. It especially
stands for: the centrality of Is-
rael and aliyah; support for
Histadrut, the general federa-
tion of labor, and the com-
munal and cooperative settle-
