The Jewish State

Theodor Herzl's journey from a Hungarian upbringing to becoming a pivotal figure in the establishment of Israel is marked by his response to rampant anti-Semitism in Europe. He envisioned a Jewish homeland in Palestine, articulating his ideas in "The Jewish State," published in 1896. This influential work advocated for diplomatic efforts to gain international support for a Jewish nation, aiming to liberate Jews from poverty and oppression. Herzl's writings have been widely disseminated, playing a crucial role in shaping Jewish national identity and the Zionist movement.
