The Order B’nei Zion
THE Order B'nei Zion is a secret, fraternal and benevolent Order, which, in addition to objects similar to those of other Jewish fraternal organizations, and with a more secure insurance basis, aims to aid the Zionist Congress in its efforts to secure for the Jewish people a legally assured and publicly secured home in Palestine.
Its table of insurance rates has been prepared by Mr. Miles M. Dawson, of the recent Hughes Insurance Commission and of the Canadian Royal Insurance Commission. Under its system, each member pays for his own insurance. It insures for $250, $500, $1,000, or £2,000.
It is a Safe and Secure Insurance Order, based on the Basel Program, which it supports.
