Build the Jewish Homeland Now: Palestine Restoration Fund $3,000,000
A fundraising poster for the Zionist Organization of America's Palestine Restoration Fund pairs the imperative 'Build the Jewish Homeland Now' with a Star of David marked with the Hebrew word for Zion above a sunlit hillside town with domes and a minaret, and a printed target of $3,000,000. The tell is the pairing: the sacred-place symbol and townscape carry the weight of the appeal, while the ask itself is reduced to an address and a sum.

The English text is printed in a decorative face with initial capitals in colour. The single Hebrew word inside the Star of David is read as 'Tziyon' (Zion), with vowel points. Only the Hebrew word is translated.
