The entire national Order of the Aleph Zadik Aleph of the B’nai B’rith will sponsor a nation-wide essay contest the latter part of this year or the early part of next year. The exact details of this contest will be announced within the near future by Aleph David Koppel, who has been appointed chairman of this district. Further details will be announced later.
