Paperback. Zustand: Good. First Edition. "This survey seeks to render an account of what the Congress has labored to achieve in the twelve years since its constituent meeting. The realities of Jewish life are rapidly shifting before our very eyes, and soon a new generation will arise which knows not our problems and to which many of our controversies will be incomprehensible. A new leaf has been turned over in the relations beween the various Jewish ideological camps, while the proclamation of the State of Israel deeply affects and colors all aspects of Jewish life everywhere. For the last thirty years the activities of the Comité des Délégations and the Congress have been woven into the woof and warp of Jewish history and their record cannot be written down without Jewish history being written at the same time." - Preface.
