Podhajce.
Our new club is making
visible progress. The number of members is growing, opposition
has been given up, and all meetings offer the unusual sight of a
thoroughly Zionist Jewish community. On the 13th and 14th of
February, Mr. L. Taubes from Kolomea spoke and achieved a brilliant
success. He was supported by Mssrs. B. Kittner and S.
Marienberg, whom the club must especially thank. Club evenings,
lectures, meetings, at the same time shekel collections, are the
tangible successes of the agitation. But also other results
have occurred in this short period: an interest for general questions
not just Jewish questions, hardly explicable under the oppressive
conditions, and that would be a permanent advantage, should it
continue. We hope so -- everything enables us to do so.

Podhajce, 7
August 1899. In support of the workers
from Boryslawer, the youth of Podhajce organized a discussion evening
on Wednesday, the 2nd of this month. Mr. Moritz Lieblich welcomed the
numerous guests in attendance. In his address, he depicted the
said state of the Jews and characterized Zionism as the only solution
to the Jewish question. We also performed the pageant “Israel’s
Mission” by Adolf Motek; actors were Mssrs. M. Lieblich, J.
Ojerskis, S. Schapira, and J. Seidler. The performance of the
play made a very good impression on the audience. Mssrs. G.
Scheer and H. Marienberg made speeches. Mr. J. Ojserskis gave
the conclusion. Mr. M. M. Ojserkis contributed much to the staging of
this play, for which the committee heartily thanks him. The remaining
course of the entire celebration was a brilliant one.
