hekel Day.
The attention of Societies and in- dividual Zi.onist workers is drawn to the forthcoming Shekel Day Collection which takes plac.e on SUNDAY. 7th MARCH.
The price of the Shekel is small (only 2s. 6d.) but its real value is immeasurable for our numerical strength is based on the number of ShekoEm sold; our present political position demands that not a single member of the Jewish community
;:imain without a Shekel.
Zionist Committees are urged to take the matter in hand immediately.
