The Hamon Am were Zionist. All the frum shuls collected for JNF and were involved in Zionist activities. I read this in a biography of one whom the Chareidim consider a big gadol. He became the Rav, and tried to stop what was a long established practice. He ran into tremendous opposition from all the baalei batim who could not believe what was now going on all of the sudden that they could not have their annual appeal.
