ITZHAK NAVON (Chairman of the Zionist General Council) I have the honour of opening this session of the Zionist General Council, which will be the last one in the present format befoie the coming Zionist Congress. We meet at a time when Israel has gone through a stormy and interest- ing period, which has been happy or disappointing, depending on the individual speaker's point of view. There has been a great transformation in Israel's political map. A party which had been in opposition for many years is now the governing party. Let us wish the new government every success in the tasks which it has undertaken and in the trials which it will be facing. Another party, which had been the major force in all govern- ments for many years, has now shifted to the parliamentary opposition. This is a revolution by any standard. And yesterday we had another revolution just because there was no revolution. It has now become clear that the electorate in Israel makes a clear distinction between voting for the Knesset and voting for the Histadrut. Whatever we may all think about the election results yesterday and on May 17th, I know we are all united in feeling that we have established a regime of active democracy in Israel. This is a source of deep pride and satisfaction to all of us. With regard to the government, with which the Zionist Movement has much more contact than with other bodies (local government or Histadrut) and in spite of possible differences, there still are many areas where the rule is unanimity in thought and solidarity in action. More than 90 percent of all members of the Knesset share a consensus on a number of principles. A) They are Zionist parties, in the fullest sense of the term, and in particular, with regard to ties with the Jewish people in the Diaspora and the Zionist Movement all over the world. These parties also perform their share of Zionist activity. 7 FIRST MEETING B) On the political level, in matters of foreign affairs and defence, these parties do not accept the pre-1967 borders because they cannot provide security for the State of Israel, and any attempt to offer us, or to coerce us into accepting a return to these borders, will therefore encounter the active opposition of over 90 % of all Knesset members. The same percentage will unite in objecting to the creation of a Palestinian State in Judea, Samaria and Gaza. While every party may have their own grounds for these beliefs, there is a unifying common denominator. C) All these parties consider themselves part of the free, democratic world with all the political and ideological consequences that flow from this. There are no differences today among various parties as existed in the early fifties, concerning the need to strengthen our ties with the free countries of the West, and particularly with the United States. The debate in the early fifties, about neutrality between the major power blocs, is no longer relevant, not only for practical reasons but also for reasons of ideology. As I said, all of these parties also share the common goal of strengthening the links between the Jewish people and the Zionist Movement. We also share the same aspirations for the prosperity of the State of Israel, the development of this country, the deepening of historical Jewish and Zionist consciousness, and for success of the struggle to secure Jewish immigration from countries of distress. We also share the desire to increase aliyah from the free world, to strengthen Jewish education in the Diaspora and to create a society based on social justice. No doubt, we shall be facing tough political struggles in the near future. The contradictory, worrisome and disturbing declarations showered upon us from the United States even before the elections, did not augur well for the future, and regardless of the election results we would have been compelled to mobilize the Zionist Movement in the Diaspora, to fight for the objectives which all of us share unanimously. It is still impossible to say to what extent these trials will grow more difficult, but there can be no doubt that the coming weeks and months will require an intensified effort on the part of each and every Zionist in the Diaspora who is capable of contributing to political and information work. I assume that in the Committee for Political Affairs and Information of this Zionist General Council, there will be ample opportunity to deal with the various aspects of the situation before and after the elections, and this will, indeed, be an appropriate time for.such a discussion. 8 I. NAVON What else will we be discussing at this session? We have two major areas of interest. One relates to the preparations for the Zionist Congress due to take place in February 1978, and the Membership Drive which must be organized and intensified in anticipation of the elections.

    GUIDE TO THE ARCHIVAL RECORD GROUPS AND COLLECTIONS Jerusalem, July 2003 The contents of this Guide, and other information on the Central Zionist Archives, may be found on Internet at the following address: http://www.zionistarchives.org.il/ The e-mail address of the Archives is: [email protected] 2 Introduction This edition of the Guide to the Archival Record Groups and Collections held at the Central Zionist Archives has once again been expanded. It includes new acquisitions of material, which have been received recently at the CZA. In addition, a new section has been added, the Maps and Plans Section. Some of the collections that make up this section did appear in the previous Guide, but did not make up a separate section. The decision to collect the various collections in one section reflects the large amount of maps and plans that have been acquired in the last two years and the advancements made in this sphere at the CZA. Similarly, general information about two additional collections has been added in the Guide, the Collection of Announcements and the Collection of Badges. Explanation of the symbols, abbreviations and the structure of the Guide: Dates appearing alongside the record groups names, signify: - with regard to institutional archives: the period in which the material that is stored in the CZA was created. - with regard to personal archives: the birth and death dates of the person. Dates have not been given for living people. The numbers in the right-hand margin signify the amount of material comprising the record group, in running meters of shelf space (one running meter includes six boxes of archival material).

It argues that youth movements are key sites for the formation and transmission of communal identities into subsequent generations. It entails institutional studies of three Jewish youth organisations: the Jewish Lads’ Brigade, the Victoria Boys’ and Girls’ Club, and the Maccabi Union and is divided accordingly, with chapters devoted to each. The thesis examines the preferred identities that each club sought to impose on their members, using these identities as case studies for the wider British Jewish community.
