Original photograph of the 12th Zionist Congress. Ze’ev Jabotinsky, Chaim Weizmann, Menachem Ussishkin and others, 1921

Original photograph from the Zionist Congress, with Ze’ev Jabotinsky and Chaim Weizmann sitting next to each other. It was apparently the 12th Zionist Congress.
The 12th Zionist Congress convened in Carlsbad, Czechoslovakia in September 1921. This was the first congress following World War I, the Balfour Declaration and the institution of British sovereignty in Israel.
The discussions were primarily dedicated to expansion of the settlement in Israel and the establishment of enterprises with national value. During the conference, the proposal to establish the Keren HaYesod (United Israel Appeal) was approved. In addition, the purchase of land in Emek Yizrael and settlement of that area were approved. Jabotinsky was invited to this congress by Dr. Chaim Weizmann, and even sat at the presidium table (as can be seen in the photograph). At this event, Weizmann was elected President of the World Zionist Organization.
