Zionism is a post-Emancipation phenomenon
Jewish Identity
Those Jews who were seeking just survival and economic security emigrated
to America in the wake of pogroms and pauperization. Those who, on the
other hand, went to Palestine, did not just flee from pogroms nor were
they bent on economic safety and success Ottoman Palestine was hardly an
economic paradise. They were seeking self-determination, identity,
liberation within the terms of post-1789 European culture and their own
newly awakened self-consciousness.
Zionism was the most fundamental revolution in Jewish life. It substituted
a secular self-identity of the Jews as a nation for the traditional and
Orthodox self-identity in religious terms. It changed a passive,
quietistic, and pious hope of the Return to Zion into an effective social
force, moving millions of people to Israel. It transformed a language
relegated to mere religious usage into a modern, secular mode of
intercourse of a nation-state.
