Early Zionist Activities Among Sephardim in Argentina Victor A. Mirelman The beginnings of organized Zionism in Argentina followed closely upon the arrival of news about the First Zionist Congress in Basel. On August 12, I 897, a few Jews in Buenos Aires gathered to found a Ho- vevei Zion (Lovers of Zion) group. During the following two decades several small Zionist societies functioned in Buenos Aires, in the cities of the interior, and in the agricultural colonies of the <strong>Jewish</strong> Coloniza- tion Association. Though the Zionist movement in the country remained limited during those first twenty years, it served as the basis for more extensive activities in the decades to come. A Labor Zionist (Poale Zion) Society was established in the capital as early as 1906. Fi- nally, in 19 I 3, after a hard-fought battle between two rival Zionist groups in Buenos Aires for recognition by the Zionist headquarters in Europe, the Federaci6n Sionista Argentina (FSA) was founded.' A period of fundamental Zionist growth in Argentina was in- augurated in 19 I 7.

The Balfour Declaration of Novem- ber 1917, moreover, bolstered the hopes of Zionist leaders, brought many more Jews into the various Zionist societies, and gave new impe- tus to the practical work. In addition, the formation of a <strong>Jewish</strong> Legion to fight on the side of the British in Palestine during World War I generated further enthusiasm, which was fed by the numerous public ceremonies in Buenos Aires to bid farewell to the fifty volunteers who left for the battlefront. During the next thirteen years, up to 1930, the various Zionist cir- cles operating in Argentina began to have a degree of influence on some of the country's Jews. By 1930, although many sectors of Argen- tinian Jewry remained apathetic to the Zionist idea, the movement had successfully recruited important members of the Sephardic com- munities and of the West European Congregaci6n Israelita as well as a
