After the State of Israel’s creation, Ben Gurion argued that Zionism no longer had any purpose. Prompted by widespread Israeli cynicism, the World Zionist Congress recently asked whether he had been correct, meaning presumably that the Congress was an anachronism. Eisen believes the latter may be true, but the former is not. Drawing on classical and contemporary sources, we will learn how Zionism—redefined for Israel's upcoming 70th anniversary—remains core to Jewish life in both America and Israel.
