Malchi, Isac Fridlander, Arieh Navon, and others), pictures (among them, a picture taken by Helmar Lerski), and more.

Many articles emphasize the various educational activities carried out by the Zionist "Canadian Hebrew Culture Fund, " such as the publishing of Hebrew books and the distribution of Zionist
promotional materials.
