The most comprehensive Zionist collection ever published, The
Zionist Ideas: Visions for the Jewish Homeland—Then, Now,
Tomorrow sheds light on the surprisingly diverse and shared visions
for realizing Israel as a democratic Jewish state. Building on
Arthur Hertzberg’s classic, The Zionist Idea, Gil Troy explores
the backstories, dreams, and legacies of more than 170 passionate
Jewish visionaries—quadruple Hertzberg’s original number, and
now including women, mizrachim, and others—from the 1800s to
today. Troy divides the thinkers into six Zionist schools of
thought—Political, Revisionist, Labor, Religious, Cultural, and
Diaspora Zionism—and reveals the breadth of the debate and
surprising syntheses. He also presents the visionaries within three
major stages of Zionist development, demonstrating the length and
evolution of the conversation. Part 1 (pre-1948) introduces the
pioneers who founded the Jewish state, such as Herzl,
Gordon, Jabotinsky, Kook, Ha’am, and Szold. Part 2 (1948 to
2000) features builders who actualized and modernized the Zionist
blueprints, such as Ben-Gurion, Berlin, Meir, Begin, Soloveitchik,
Uris, and Kaplan. Part 3 showcases today’s torchbearers,
including Barak, Grossman, Shaked, Lau, Yehoshua, and Sacks. This
mosaic of voices will engage equally diverse readers in
reinvigorating the Zionist conversation—weighing and developing
the moral, social, and political character of the Jewish state of
today and tomorrow. Â
