Today, Zionism is understood as a national movement whose
primary historical goal was the establishment of a Jewish state.
However, Zionism's association with national sovereignty was not
foreordained. Zionism and the Roads Not Taken uncovers the thought
of three key interwar Jewish intellectuals who defined Zionism's
central mission as challenging the model of a sovereign
nation-state: historian Simon Rawidowicz, religious thinker
Mordecai Kaplan, and political theorist Hans Kohn. Although their
models differed, each of these three thinkers conceived of a more
practical and ethical paradigm of national cohesion that was not
tied to a sovereign state. Recovering these roads not taken helps
us to reimagine Jewish identity and collectivity, past, present,
and future.
