1st Edition. Original Typed Report. 12mo. 31 pages ; 30 cm. In English. This is the DP-period May 1952 Executive Report from the New York Jewish Agency for Palestine, now known as the Jewish Agency for Israel, which is the largest Jewish nonprofit organization in the world. This original type-written report of the financial expenditures and programmatic activities of the Jewish Agency documents one of the most important segments of the Agency’s history. David Ben-Gurion was executive of the Agency until 1948, when he left to become Israel’s 1st Prime Minister. In 1952, the Knesset passed the “Zionist Organization-Jewish Agency for Israel Law, ” which formalized the Jewish Agency’s responsibility to supervise Aliyah, absorption, and settlement in the State of Israel. Interestingly, this New York Executive Report uses the name “Jewish Agency for Palestine, ” even though the organization began to use the name “Jewish Agency for Israel” in 1948. OCLC lists no holdings worldwide. Damaged, with many pages torn in the middle, affecting text on one page. Fair condition, but complete. (HOLO2-130-38)
