“It was my privilege to be at the helm of our chapter at the time when we Jews realized a 2,000 year old dream and Israel became a state, a state of our own. The sincerity of our people in Saint John, the support and encouragement they gave us made the birth pangs lighter. I am sure they will stand by us through the infancy of our state, so that it can be said that Saint John, as usual, has put out both hands in support.”
Julia Isaacs, President’s Report, February 1950
