The Jewish attachment to Zion is many centuries old. While the modern Zionist movement was organized a little more than a century ago, the roots of the Zionist idea reach back close to 4,000 years ago, to the day that the biblical patriarch Abraham left his home in Ur of the Chaldees to settle in the Promised Land, where the Jewish state subsequently arose. From that day to the establishing of the state of Israel in 1948, the Jewish people have been in a constant struggle to either regain or maintain their homeland.

Although 60 years have now passed since the establishment of Israel, many of the political and religious factions that made up the Zionist movement in the pre-state era remain active. The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Zionism―through its chronology, maps, introductory essay, bibliography, and over two hundred cross-referenced dictionary entries on crucial persons, organizations, and events―is a valuable contribution to the appreciation for both the diversity and consensus that characterize the Zionist experience.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Since political Zionism began in the late nineteenth century, this movement to restore Jews to their ancestral homeland, supported by both Jews and non-Jews, has become one of the most inspiring but also controversial ideologies in modern times. This enlarged and revised dictionary of Zionism provides more information on this important topic. Compiled by two prolific scholars, the work follows the format of the Historical Dictionaries series: an introductory essay followed by alphabetical entries covering individuals, organizations, and major events. The work also includes useful appendixes and an unannotated bibliography divided by topic (“General History of Zionism,” “Culture and Religion,” etc.). Cross-references are helpfully noted in bold type. Entries range from a few sentences to several pages. This work is an excellent ready-reference source that should answer basic questions from general readers and students. The standard format of the Historical Dictionaries series evokes the only quibble: the entries do not list sources. Despite this problem, the work is highly recommended for academic and large public libraries. --Donald Altschiller

Review

This is a useful resource that provides a concise overview of Zionism. It belongs in public, academic, and synagogue collections. ― American Reference Books Annual
