Overview

Excerpt from the book: Realities remained realities, and the Charter remained a distant vision. Chibbath Zion (Love of Zion) became an organised movement, and throughout Russia groups of Chovev Zion (Lovers of Zion) began to work for the settlement of Jews on the land in Palestine. Events soon showed that Chibbath Zion was as yet unable to achieve so large an aim. The first organised form of Zionism took shape in Russia under the stress of the pogroms of 1880-81. The first of the eight-which is also the first essay written by Achad Ha-Am-belongs to the early years of the Jewish national movement, when the Zionist Organisation was unborn, and the very name Zionism uninvented. About the AuthorAsher Zvi Hirsch Ginsberg, primarily known by his Hebrew name and pen name, Ahad Ha'am, was a Hebrew essayist, and one of the foremost pre-state Zionist thinkers. He is known as the founder of cultural Zionism. With his secular vision of a Jewish spiritual centre in Israel, he confronted Theodor Herzl. Unlike Herzl, the founder of political Zionism, Ha'am strived for a Jewish state and not merely a state of Jews.
