NEW YORK—Two hundred leading 1 Zionists and iinn-Zionists of New York | joined on Tuesday evening, November 20, at the Hotel Astor to pay tribute to Dr. Chaim Weizmann, President of thc World Zionist Org.mization, for his achievement in bringing about unity between all fac¬ tions in A.nicrican Jewry on thc subject 'if Palestine, and to wish luni godspeed lor Iiib journey to England, from where he will go to Gcmiiiny, France, Belgium, Poland and otlicr countries to take up Ihe final negotiations for the establish- mtnt of thc Jewish Agency. Dr. Weiz- iliaim left Wednesday night for Europe, on the Berengaria.
In expressing his gratitude for the praise and goOd wishes, Dr. Weizmann predicted great progress for upbuilding in Palestine and made the forcast that the time would come when thc Jewish National Homeland would be even great¬ er than the present political boundaries of Palestine.
Thc toastmastcr at the banquet was Mr. Morris Rothenberg, Chairman tlf the Board of Directors of the United Pales¬ tine Appeal, who, in tlic opening address, outlined thc history of Jewish efforts for the recreation of a Jewish Palestine. Touching upon the e\ent<? that had culmi¬ nated in thc Balfour declaration and the approval of the pledge by the world pow¬ ers, Mr. Rothenberg referred to Dr. Weizmanni as "the instrument through which history was working in all these .extraordinary events."
Dr. Mordecai M. Kaplan, Chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Zionist Organization of America spoke of the place of Dr. Weizmann in Zionjst history, and his role in thc stimulation of Jewish ideals. Quoting the Hebrew prayer, in which God is asked to return the Jewish people to Palestine in dignity, Dr. Kaplan declared that Dr. Weizmann was the answer to that prayer. In win¬ ning all elements of American Jewry to the cause of Palestine, the dignity of the rebuilding work is assured.
In introducing Mr. Felix Warburg as the next speaker, Mr. Rothenberg re¬ ferred to "thc quickness with which he has entered into the affections of thc ZIOnibts throughout the country, and how quick they were to sense the genuine warmth of his feeling toward Palestine, and the generosity of his feelings toward the problems in Palestine."
Wi-shing Dr. and Mrs. Weizmann godspeed, and praising Mrs. Weizmann for the inspiration she had given her hus¬ band, Mr. Warburg expressed his appre¬ ciation of Dr. Weizmann's friendship and said, "the meetings which we have held lately have been so pleasant that it is a real joy to have anything to do with the movement," Mr. Warburg praised Dr. Wei^mann's leadership, and conclud¬ ed with the hope that "the famous Jew¬ ish Agency will be an agent in the com¬ ing spring ;^nd active."
Dr. Lee K. Frankel. one of the mem¬ bers of the Joint Palestine Survey Com¬ mission, who was spoken of by Mr. Roth¬ enberg as having approached his task on the commission "with retnarlcable ob¬ jectivity and wide experience in investi¬ gation," praised the "depth and profundity of Dr. Weizraann's character." The speaker urged the necessity for definite action in Palestine that would continue the labors that the Zionist leader had achieved, "I am not particularly interest¬ ed in the material aspects, yet without them, it cannot succeed. It must be our first "itep in our first undertaking." Dr. Frankel also spoke of the indispcnsa- bility of Dr. Weizmann to the Zionist cause.
Mr. Rothenberg read a message from Judge Otto A. Rosalsky, who had been unable to attend the banquet because of a previous speaking engagement for. the Federation. In this message, Judge Ro¬ salsky ^jnpounccd his acceptance of the chairmanbhip of thc Unitc<l Paleitine Ap¬ peal for Greater New York, saying:
"I have had the honor and privilege nf serving for the past two >cars as chairman of the United Palestine Apiwal for Greater New York, and have given to the noble cause of Palestine the best service i^ was possible for me to render. It was my intention to retire from active leadership this year, but I have been urged to accept the office of chairman once more in view of the importance of the impending campaign not only for Palestine and the Zionist cause, but also because of its importance for the crea¬ tion of unity iind harmony in American Jewry.
^^v reluctanrt to accept has been over¬ come by tlie feeling that I can do snmc- hing to promote that unity in American Israel which was so auspiciously inau- 'urated at the recent non-partisan confer- ¦jnce held in New York under the chair¬ manship of Mr. Louis Marshall. The ^xtcn^ion of thc Jewish Agency provides an opportunity to break down thc barriers between thc various elements in tlie American Jewish community. The power and the spiritual value of a Jewish Pales¬ tine will bring about a consolidation of Jewish forces that will build up not only a Jewish National Home and will be helpful in strengthening Jewish tradition everywhere, but will give force and influ¬ ence to the development of a Jewisl^ civ- 'lizatlon that will redound to the benefit nf humanity in general. Every right- thinking Jew should be found backing the new unity that has been created and o give it support at this time when hearty icncral co-operation is essential for its development.
"I have therefore accepted the invita¬ tion to continue as chairman of the Unit¬ ed Palestine Appeal, and call upon al! who are concerned for the future of Is¬ rael and in the redemption of Zion, to be generous in their support pf the ap¬ peal during the coming year. It is a hcavj responsibility, hut I know that thc Jews of Greater New York will respond to the call of duty."
Mr. Abraham Goldberg, member of thc Adniinistrati\^e Committee of the Zionist Organization of America, was then called upon by Mr. Rothenberg as "one who has been active in the cause of Zionism for the past twenty-five years or more, and who has always been a staunch supporter ¦f the Jewish Agency." Mr. Goldberg, speaking Yiddish, lauded Dr. Weizmann's ichievement, and playing upon a refer¬ ence by Dr. Frankel to Dr. Weizmann as a chemist, and as having a mystic be¬ lief in the Zionist cause, Mr. Goldberg called the latter an alchemist, who suc¬ ceeds in uniting various elements and to obtain "gold," enlisting their joint co¬ operation.
Dr. Samuel Schulman, rabbi of Temple ¦^manu-EI, who was for thirty years an pponent of political Zionism, in his open- ng remarks referred to this opposition, leclaring:
"It was a joy to be here and to show by my presence that I, too, have learend to honor and love Dr. Weizmann. I know quite well where' I stand. I am quite happy to be here. This is, first and foremost', of course, an occasion for feli¬ citation to the distinguished man and friend whom we delight to honor. It is nothing new in Israel. It is as old as the history of our people, because, while our leaders in the past, with that frank- less, with that intellectual honesty, which enabled them to carry on controversies, ind then to look each other in the facp and bpeak their opinions as they believe them, at the same time loved each other and felt that in uniting and transcending their differences lay the'brotherhood of Israel. - ¦
"We must recognize that this is more han an occasion of tribute to a person¬ ality, great as that personality is. This, to my mind, is a celebration of tlie unity of Israel. With respect to that unity, I never had a doubt. It is well known th?t for a whole generation I opposed this .novcmcnt. Please, don't think I am af- 'ccted when I say that I opposed it with a bleeding heart. Because, nothing that deeply concerns Jews and Judaisni could ever be so alien to me that, even if I had reasons to attack it, I could do so with joy That I could neicr do. Though I differed with the Zionists in my point of view, at the same time I realized that idealism, that yearning for Israel's unity and unbroken spirit. That was something great. Therefore, it was nothing new to me to be able to cross thc lines, to ad- iiire and revere the personalities who ire standing on thc other side.
"Now, then, at last, after thirty years, we were able at that historic meeting to create something-which shall show the world that, despite our theoretic differ- *nces, there is such a thing, nevertheless, as the unity of Israel, when great oppor¬ tunities confront Israel.
"What is this unity in Israel? This- unity is something which transcends dif- ''crcnccs of the interpretation of our rc- 'ii;ion, differences even in the practice of air religion, differences in the philosophy ti Jewi&h life."
Dr. Schulman was followed by Louis (Continued on page 7)
