For almost fifty years, the Zionist labour movement led the Jewish
community in Palestine and later, in the State of Israel. Among the
close-knit group of its founding fathers, Berl Katznelson was a
unique figure. He was an intellectual, a politician, a man of
letters, a statesman and the initiator of many of the social and
economic institutions THAT shaped the face of the movement and in
its wake, the character of the country as a whole. The biography of
Berl is more than the biography of an individual: it is the story
of a movement. The book traces Berl from a young Russian socialist
and romantic pioneer on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, into the
propounder of a work ethic and the founder of the central political
current of the Israeli labour movement. The development of this
movement is depicted against the background of the major political
events of the period: Jewish-Arab relations, the European crisis of
the thirties as it affected the Jewish people and the successes and
failures of Zionist policy. It is required reading for anyone who
wants to understand in depth the complexity of Israeli society
today.
