Religious-Zionist historiography has at times attempted to
emphasize continuity, turning Abraham into the first Zionist and
Nahmanides' travel to the Holy Land into another landmark in the
realization of the religious-Zionist ideal. By contrast, this book
approaches the creation of the Mizrachi as a genuine revolution,
when the religious and rabbinic world entered institutionalized
politics and, to some extent, assumed the demands of modernity.
This is the first study in English tracing the course of religious-
Zionism since the creation of the Mizrachi in 1902 until recent
years, when traditional structures have changed or even collapsed
and the movement confronts a new horizon. Dov Schwarz was Dean of
the Faculty of Humanities at Bar- Ilan University (2003-2006) and
head of the Department of Philosophy (1999-2002). He occupies the
Nathalie and Isidore Friedman Chair in the Teachings of Rav J. B.
Soloveitchik, and currently heads the Department of Music at
Bar-Ilan University. He is the author of Religion or Halakhah? The
Philosophy of Rabbi J. B. Soloveitchik, 2007; Central Problems of
Medieval Jewish Philosophy, 2005; Studies on Astral Magic in
Medieval Jewish Philosophy, 2005; and others.
