Woodbine, N. J.
The arrival of Mr. Israel Herbert Levinthal, of Philadelphia, to Woodbine, on July 3, to spend the summer months amongst our midst, caused a revival in Zionist activity. He immediately organized the Children's Zionist Society. When Mr. Levinthal began his work with the C. Z. S., the society had about fifteen members, but through his steady, earnest and zealous labors, the society now boasts of a membership of fifty to sixty, composed of boys and girls, of the age of ten to fifteen. The C. Z. S., having made great strides, had a mass-meeting, which took place in the assembly room of the Central School Building, the purpose of which was to show the parents and friends of the children what they have accomplished. Rabbi Bernard L. Levinthal, of Philadelphia, honorary vice-president of the Federation, spoke in Yiddish, and Mr. Israel Levinthal, the leader of the society, held the attention of the great audience of more than three hundred people, for more than an hour. Mr. Hurvitz presided, and recitations were delivered by Lena Suber, Ida Volinsky, and Hyman Cornfield.
Mr. Levinthal also played an important part in the upbuilding of the B'nos Zion, a society composed of young ladies.
On August 2, the B'nos Zion held a memorial meeting for Dr. Theodor Herzl, at Brotherhood Hall, which was attended by several hundred people. Mr. Maurice M. Mazure, of Philadelphia, spoke on "What Woman can do for Zionism," while Mr. Israel Levinthal delivered the eulogy on Dr. Herzl. As a result of this meeting many new members were enrolled in the society.
