Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cosmopolitanism and Zionism The union of a sane universalism with a sane patriotism is not often achieved, because on the one hand we have the so-called intellectuals, who would boil down all the nations, strain ofi their local peculiarities, and retain the pure tea of the enlightened international, or rather cosmopolitan, man; on the other hand, we have the Violent jingoes, who would save the world by con quering it and impose on it the government of the one nation they hold to be really able to educate and develop the other races that one nation being, of course, their own. We have to defend ourselves against both the cosmopolitan and the jingo. People imagine a cosmopolitan man who does not exist. They talk of intellectuals being the same in all countries. So they would be if there were any pure intellectuals or brains walking, but there are not; all those called intellectuals retain some national prejudice and some peculiarities of race temperament they may not know this, but it is so. The ideal intellectual man, or the ideal capitalist, is a mere diagrammatic man. If you could enter a world where all men were moved by one motive - desire for impersonal knowledge or acquisition of wealth or dominion, there would be no nationality. All men would be the same.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Zionism and the Jewish Diaspora The special place which the land of Israel occupied in the spiritual as well as in their national life was, of course, part of that religious discipline which, like the people, was intended to serve a higher purpose. But it is only necessary to refer to the great Prophets of Israel, who proclaimed the universality of His sway, to realise that the land of Israel was indeed regarded as a priceless possession. It was not only, in the words of Deuteronomy, a land which the Lord thy God careth for always are the eyes of the Lord thy God upon it (deut. Xi., or in the appeal of the psalmist, For thy servants take pleasure in her stones and favour the dust thereo (ps. Cii., but it is out of Zion that the Law shall go forth to the nations of the earth. The second Isaiah, the. Most universalistic of the Prophets, hailed also in most exalted strain the triumphant return of the exiled people to its own land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Stanislawski's provocative study of Max Nordau, Ephraim Moses Lilien, and Vladimir Jabotinsky reconceives the intersection of the European fin de siècle and early Zionism. Stanislawski takes up the tantalizing question of why Zionism, at a particular stage in its development, became so attractive to certain cosmopolitan intellectuals and artists. With the help of hundreds of previously unavailable documents, published and unpublished, he reconstructs the ideological journeys of writer and critic Nordau, artist Lilien, and political icon Jabotinsky. He argues against the common conception of Nordau and Jabotinsky as nineteenth-century liberals, insisting that they must be understood against the backdrop of Social Darwinism in the West and the Positivism of Russian radicalism in the fin de siècle, as well as Symbolism, Decadence, and Art Nouveau. When these men turned to Zionism, Stanislawski says, far from abandoning their aesthetic and intellectual preconceptions, they molded Zionism according to their fin de siècle cosmopolitanism. Showing how cosmopolitanism turned to nationalism in the lives and work of these crucial early Zionists, this story is a fascinating chapter in European and Russian, as well as Jewish, cultural and political history.

Consider the years of many generations: Ask thy father, and he will shew thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee." Deut. xxxii.7. "Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen." - Isaiah xliii. 10. "The life of man is numbered by days: The days of Israel are without number." Ecclus. xxxvii. 25. "Kingdoms arise and kingdoms pass away, but Israel endureth for evermore." - Midrash. "Man is made man by history. The Jew recognizes that he is made what he is by the history of his fathers, and feels he is losing his better self so far as he loses his hold on his past history. "The history of Israel is the great living proof of the working of Divine Providence in the affairs of the world. Alone among the nations Israel has shared in all great movements since mankind became conscious of their destinies. If there is no Divine purpose in the long travail of Israel, it is vain to seek for any such purpose in man's life. In the reflected light of that purpose each Jew should lead his life with an added dignity." - Joseph Jacobs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the life and thought of one of the most important but least known figures in early Zionism, Nathan Birnbaum. Now remembered mainly for his coinage of the word "Zionism," Birnbaum was a towering figure in early Jewish nationalism. Because of his unusual intellectual trajectory, however, he has been written out of Jewish history. In the middle of his life, in the depth of World War I, Birnbaum left his venerable position as a secular Jewish nationalist for religious Orthodoxy, an unheard of decision in his time. To the dismay of his former colleagues, he adopted a life of strict religiosity and was embraced as a leader in the young, growing world of Orthodox political activism in the interwar period, one of the most successful and powerful movements in interwar central and eastern Europe. Jess Olson brings to light documents from one of the most complete archives of Jewish nationalism, the Nathan and Solomon Birnbaum Family Archives, including materials previously unknown in the study of Zionism, Yiddish-based Jewish nationalism, and the history of Orthodoxy. This book is an important meditation on the complexities of Jewish political and intellectual life in the most tumultuous period of European Jewish history, especially of the interplay of national, political, and religious identity in the life of one of its most fascinating figures.
