"Ziona" was the name given to women's Zionist societies, particularly the youth wings of the Women's International Zionist Organization (WIZO), designed to draw young Jewish women to the Zionist movement.

Other groups such as the Order of Ancient Maccabeans established "Ziona" groups to help groom Jewish youth to enter the Zionist movement.

History

Origins

The name "Ziona" was adopted at the first conference of the Youth Movement of the W.I.Z.O. in Great Britain, held at the Communal Centre in London on 25 September 1932. According to the Jewish Echo, the movement's chief work was to maintain girls at the Agricultural College and Hostel in Tel Aviv, to which all money collected by Ziona would go, and Miss F. Olswang represented Glasgow on its executive.[1] Ben Braber's history of Glasgow Jewry describes Ziona as "the local youth section of WIZO" in Glasgow.[2]

Formation of the Glasgow group

The next Glasgow meeting, on 17 October 1932 at 8 Bruce Road, Pollokshields, was to hear Miss R. Goldberg on "Ness Ziona", an address by Miss E. Carnovsky, M.A., and recitations of Bialik by Miss I. Bernstein.[1] In November 1932 new members were enrolled at 14 Balmoral Crescent, the home of Miss R. Cohen, where Miss F. Glass gave an address,[3] and Miss Olswang represented "Ziona" at a meeting of the Glasgow Ladies' Zionist Organisation presided over by Mrs Teitleman.[4] The Ladies' Zionist Organisation's report in March 1933 recorded "the formation of the 'Ziona' during last year",[5] and at the sixth annual general meeting of the Glasgow Women's Zionist Organisation, held at the Ca'doro Restaurant in Union Street, it was reported that "The Ziona group, formed two years ago, were doing exceedingly well" and had rendered excellent services at the recent bazaar.[6]

Activities, 1932–1934

Ziona's executive organised films of the Maccabiade and of Palestine in November 1932.[7] At a meeting at 355 Albert Drive, Pollokshields, the residence of Miss Cissie Taylor, on 15 January 1933, it was reported that the Ziona stall at the Zionist Sale of Work had realised £17 17s.[8] Ziona's first annual meeting was held at 20 Athole Gardens, Newlands, the home of Miss B. Werner, M.A., with Miss F. Olswang presiding; the money raised was to go to a Palestine School of Domestic Science.[9] Ziona ran stalls at the Jewish National Fund bazaar in 1933[10] and at the JNF Purim Bazaar in 1934, where the stall made about £92 (£57 going to the JNF); the second annual general meeting, at the home of Miss M. Benson, 16 Giffnock Park, Giffnock, heard that £133 had passed through the society, "a splendid achievement for a two year old organisation".[11] In October 1934 Mrs Teitleman, "the hon president of the Glasgow Ziona", gave a presidential address at Miss Olswang's home, 325 Albert Drive, and Misses F. Olswang, B. Werner and E. Carnovsky were named as Glasgow delegates to the Ziona annual conference in London on 3–4 November.[12]

National figures

In February 1933 Mrs Stein, described as an "Executive member of the Federation of Women Zionists and the Chairman of the 'Ziona' youth movement", visited Glasgow with Mrs Sacher.[13] In December 1933 the Jewish Echo described Mrs Stein as "founder of the Ziona group in Britain and the Junior Hadassah movement in America",[14] and Mrs Stein and Mrs Sacher addressed the Glasgow Ziona group.[15] Mrs E. M. Landau of London was hon. vice-president of the Glasgow group in 1934 and sent a telegram to its second annual general meeting.[11]

Edinburgh section

An Edinburgh section was addressed by Mrs Diamond of Leeds at a meeting at the home of Mrs Nathan, 88 Dalkeith Road, in January 1933.[16] Its president, Miss Celia Nathan, presided at a Purim party at the Duncan Street Halls in March 1933,[17] the Edinburgh Ziona society held a first anniversary ball on 10 January 1934,[18] and in April 1934 "The Glasgow Ziona Group entertained the members of the Edinburgh Ziona".[19] Miss Nathan visited the Glasgow group in April 1934.[11]

Later years

By 1936 Ziona had numbered groups: a donations list in February 1936 includes "Mrs. Lovat, St. Andrews Dr." "(Per 'Ziona' Group 1)",[20] and at the opening of the new Zionist Centre in Queen Square in November 1936 Miss F. Olswang was described as "president of the Glasgow Ziona (Group I)".[21] In December 1938 Councillor Rosslyn Mitchell addressed a conjoint meeting of Ziona at the residence of Miss Eva Woolfson, 38 Mansionhouse Road, on "A Gentile looks at the Jewish Problem", with Miss Beatrice Rosefield in the chair.[22] On 3 November 1940 Ziona Group I held a cultural meeting at the residence of Miss Ruth Lovat, 54 St Andrew's Drive, addressed by Mr Abe Lever, as listed in the diary of the Glasgow Jewish Youth Representative Council.[23] In 1944 "Ziona I" met at the home of Miss A. Flacks, 152 Battlefield Road,[24] and Ziona held a cake and candy sale at the home of Mrs M. Shapiro.[25]
