The Jewish attachment to Zion is many centuries old. While the
modern Zionist movement was organized a little more than a century
ago, the roots of the Zionist idea reach back close to 4,000 years
ago, to the day that the biblical patriarch Abraham left his home
in Ur of the Chaldees to settle in the Promised Land, where the
Jewish state subsequently arose. From that day to the establishing
of the state of Israel in 1948, the Jewish people have been in a
constant struggle to either regain or maintain their homeland.
Although 60 years have now passed since the establishment of
Israel, many of the political and religious factions that made up
the Zionist movement in the pre-state era remain active. The second
edition of the Historical Dictionary of Zionism through its
chronology, maps, introductory essay, bibliography, and over two
hundred cross-referenced dictionary entries on crucial persons,
organizations, and events is a valuable contribution to the
appreciation for both the diversity and consensus that characterize
the Zionist experience.
