The Jewish State: Proposal of a modern solution for the Jewish question - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

'The Jewish State' is a book written by Theodor Herzl. It is subtitled with "Proposal of a modern solution for the Jewish question", and originally called "Address to the Rothschilds" referring to the Rothschild family banking dynasty. It is considered one of the most important texts of early Zionism. As expressed in this book, Herzl envisioned the founding of a future independent Jewish state during the 20th century. He argued that the best way to avoid anti-Semitism in Europe was to create this independent Jewish state. Herzl, who had lived as a secular, largely assimilated Jew, was fluent in neither Hebrew nor Yiddish. His lack of contact with Jewish culture and intellectual currents, and his limited contact with Jews less assimilated than he was probably the reason he abandoned fundamental Jewish principals and rekindled Zionism with this text. The book was used to encourage Jews from all across Europe to purchase land in Palestine.
