Pioneers of Religious Zionism
describes the lives and philosophies of the most important
rabbinical Zionists of the nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries: Yehuda ben Shlomo Alkalai (1798-1878), Zvi Hirsch
Kalischer (1795-1874), Samuel Mohliver (1824-1891), Jacob Reines
(1839-1915), Abraham Isaac Kook (1865-1935) and Judah Leib
(Fishman) Maimon (1875-1962). They joined secular Zionists in the
struggle for the re-establishment of a Jewish national home - an
unusual act for their time - and had to contend with fierce
opposition and condemnations from many rabbis in Eastern Europe,
who believed that the return of the Jewish people to its ancestral
homeland of Israel depended upon the arrival of the Messiah. In
their lives and writings, Rabbis Alkali, Kalischer, Mohliver,
Reines, Kook and Maimon provided the foundation on which modern
religious Zionism was built.
