<<FIRST HEBREW EDITION OF HERZL’S HERALD OF MODERN ZIONISM.>> Within this slim tract Theodor Herzl founded political Zionism - an epochal call for the establishment of a Jewish State as a national home for the Jewish People. “That (such a) State was created in Palestine within fifty years of (Herzl’s) death was due to the vision and the practical methods expressed in (this) manifesto.” Carter & Muir, Printing and the Mind of Man (1983) no. 381.
