This week, we’re diving into the subject of Zionism and looking at where the idea of Jewish return to the Land of Israel came from. But what does this return look like? How has it changed through the centuries and what do we mean by Zionism anyway?
Many people believe that “Zionism” originated with Theodore Herzl. That’s certainly an important piece of the puzzle.
However, the connection of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel has been an integral part of the Jewish story for at least 3,000 years.
Even when the Jews were no longer in the Land of Israel, they’ve had a longing to return.
Join us as we outline the history of Zionism - from the bible onwards - and explain how this millenia-old yearning ultimately culminated in the establishment of the modern State of Israel.

Young, beautiful Zo Flamenbaum found herself stuck in an unhealthy codependent relationship. She hated how he treated her, how he treated her friends, how she felt around him. But she still couldn’t leave. This was not run-of-the-mill boyfriend girlfriend stuff. In this video, she talks about the courage it took for her to walk away from an emotional dependency and take back her life after so long.
In her video, Zo talks about dealing with dependency, bad relationships, depression and meds and finding the bravery to face how disconnected she was from herself.
Using her experiences, Zo now empowers thousands of women to find their inner strength and happiness with her organization School of Shine, a women’s wellness community dedicated to helping women in Israel and around the world lead happier, healthier lives. Check it out: http://www.schoolofshine.com/
“If I am not for me, who is for me? And if I am (only) for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?” - Hillel, Ethics of the Fathers 1:14
This video raises important conversations around codependency, recognizing the signs of an unhealthy relationship, the reality of physical versus emotional dependency and controlling relationships, and the right time to take antidepressant medication. Zo realized that what she needed was not antidepressant meds, but for many people that is the right choice. Let us know what you think in the comments and let’s have a conversation about this!

Best known for being Israel’s first (and only to date) female prime minister, Golda Meir, started life in Kiev before moving with her family to Milwaukee in 1906. After a quick stint in Denver, she immigrated to Israel in 1921.
One of only two women who signed Israel’s Declaration of Independence, Meir served as a labor minister and as foreign minister, and in 1969 became prime minister.
Though some of her five years as prime minister were controversial, her commitment to helping the Jewish people and the State of Israel remain her legacy, earning her a spot as an integral part of Israeli history.

Black Jews have been a part of American history since before the colonial era. In fact, Jews of Roman-African or Afro-Caribbean descent, of diverse lineage, or who have converted continue to contribute to the rich and multi-faceted history of the Jewish people.
Today, some of these Jews of Color have come together in communities and organizations to bring them out of the margins and into the mainstream of American Jewry.

When two young Christians were murdered in Kishinev, the heart of Moldova, in 1903, popular journalist Peva Krushevanl seized the opportunity to blame the Jews for their deaths.
Using his daily newspaper as a personal soapbox, he riled up thousands of Kishinev’s civilians to take revenge against the Jews in a deadly pogrom which killed 49 people.
This attack inspired Jewish poet Chaim Nachman Bialik to publish works to awaken the Jewish spirit and successfully invoked Jews across the world to take action against the rampant antisemitism in Europe.

In the aftermath of historical events that impacted Jews of Eastern Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, two groups rose up that inspired generations of Jews to revolutionize the way they practice Judaism.
The birth of Hasidic Judaism was inspired by the Baal Shem Tov and his successor, Dov Ber, who spread a more accessible form of Judaism focused on infusing joy into its practice. The movement began to spread across Eastern Europe until it reached Rabbi Elijah Kremer, AKA the Vilna Gaon in Lithuania. The Vilna Gaon and his followers, the Mitnagdim, or “opponents of Hasidism,” outwardly rejected the movement and denounced it as heresy.
While these groups disagreed with each other’s teachings and continued to clash for decades, in the long run each of their movements was strengthened by the other. Hasidism gave rise to close knit communities that deepened their dedication to Torah study. Meanwhile, the Mitnagdim created the first yeshiva whose purpose was to make Jewish learning accessible; a central feature of Judaism to this day.

The libelous claim that Jews controlled the slave trade in the Americas began circulating in 1991, when an extremist organization known as the Nation of Islam claimed to have gathered 'irrefutable evidence' to prove it.
More recently, the claim reared its ugly head when NBA star Kyrie Irving promoted the film “Hebrews to Negroes”, which makes some pretty outlandish allegations about the Jewish role in the slave trade.
Although the Jewish involvement in the slave trade was minimal, with only a few individuals participating, the overall perpetuation of this claim serves to fuel hatred and division among marginalized communities.

On this week’s History of Israel Explained we’re talking about Israel’s least-known war - the 1956 Sinai Campaign. Lasting just over a week-and-a-half, this blink-and-you’ll-miss-it conflict changed the fortunes of Israel on the world stage and was so important it’s been called Israel’s Second War of Independence.
Last week’s video on Unit 101 and the Fedayeen:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjDNwNwk95s
To understand this short skirmish, we’ll be talking about mandates, pan-Arabism, Gamal Abdel Nasser, the Cold War, Moshe Dayan, anti-semitism, colonialism, Ariel Sharon, the Suez Canal and a whole lot more.
It may have been a short war, but it had huge ramifications.
After almost a decade of infiltrations and terror attacks, Israel’s success in the Sinai Campaign left the country with a restored sense of security and pride in its military. It also paved the way for Israel to defend itself in the years to come.
What do you think of this week’s episode? Is the Second War of Independence tag deserved? Drop your reactions in the comments section below.

Immediately after its establishment in 1948, the newly minted state of Israel found itself fighting for survival.
With immigration of Jews from all around the world placing a massive burden on the economy, and the constant threat of terror looming from neighboring countries, Israel’s leaders struggled to find solutions to ensure its existence.
Thanks to the financial help of German reparations, Israeli agricultural innovation, and land deal negotiations with Egypt, Israel rose above these struggles and found the footing it needed to thrive.
