In November 1908 the executive committee of the
“
Zionistischen
Ortsgruppe
Hamburg-Altona”
[
Zionist chapter
Hamburg-Altona]
hosted a lecture: Pastor
Otto Eberhard, who was
presented as “one of the leading experts on the modern cultural state of
Palestine,” was to
speak on the ninth of the month on the subject of
“Folk Life in
Palestine.” In
addition, the newsletter announced an Oriental costume ball, with which the end of
Hanukkah was to be celebrated on
December 26. Reports on both events were published in
the “
Jüdische Rundschau” [Jewish Review] in
the section “
Vereins-Rundschau,” [review of
club activities] to which the secretaries of the respective
Zionist local chapters could submit their own reports on local events. The author is
not explicitly named, as was customary for the column. The same reports were also
included in the main Zionist medium, “
Die Welt”
[The World].
