summary

Interesting letter in which the Prime Minister waxes philosophical, observing how two opposite extremes of the Jewish spectrum historically opposed the Zionist enterprise: Religious Jews who believed in Redemption, but only through supernatural means and not by human hands. As opposed to assimilationist Jews who denied entirely the very existence of a Jewish People.
