This was a quarterly magazine, and in 1949 there is a certain euphoria that the young State of Israel has completed a full year, together with a world survey and an obituary about Paul Goodman, the former Chairman of the Synagogue Council and editor of the Gates of Zion, as well as other articles in English and Hebrew.
Paul Goodman, who was born in Dorpat in Estonia in 1875, emigrated to England in 1891. He served as the secretary of the Spanish and Portuguese Congregation and became a Zionist after hearing Theodor Herzl speak in London in 1896.
The Central Synagogue Council of the Zionist Federation had 122 member synagogues in 1949, including Synagogues all over the British Isles, 18 Synagogues of the United Synagogue and 42 from the Federation of Synagogues.
The magazine was printed by the Narod Press in Whitechapel.
