Twenty-Sixth Congress
Jerusalem, 1964-1965

In his opening address to the Congress, Nahum Goldmann called on the Zionist movement to take greater responsibility for the situation of Diaspora Jewish communities. He called on the organization to support Jewry in their struggle against spiritual decay and assimilation.

Certain political resolutions were passed at the Congress, including a call on governments to halt arms supplies to Middle Eastern countries -- and a demand that the Soviet Union alleviate the situation of its Jewish community. Nahum Goldmann was reelected to the post of President of the WZO.
