In this article by the future Supreme Court Justice, Louis D. Brandeis, the early Zionist settlers or “Jewish Pilgrim Fathers” are compared to the first Americans who berthed at Plymouth Rock. Drawing a parallel to America’s inception, this call to action, distributed by the Provisional Executive Committee for General Zionist Affairs, appeals for support of the Emergency Fund to aid Palestine in building up a modern society.
