Expanding the canonical book The Zionist Idea, The Zionist Ideas clarifies the wealth of rich ideas regarding the Jewish peoples sovereign national home in the land of Israel. This book will help flip todays destructive dialogue of the deaf into a thoughtful, constructive conversationperhaps from which a new shared vision for Jewish nationalism will emerge.
Ruth Calderon, member of Knesset 201315 and author of A Bride for One Night: Talmud Tales
As the story of Zionism continues to unfold in the twenty-first century, Gil Troy provides those who wish to understand its past, present, and future this invaluable guide. Building on Hertzbergs seminal volume, The Zionist Ideas expands our range of vision, exploring Zionism in its political, religious, and cultural dimensions as imagined by Zionists both in Israel and the Diaspora. With expertly curated selections and his own penetrating analysis, Troy accompanies us on a tour of Zionisms evolution from the ideology of a fledgling, yet ancient, national movement to the philosophical underpinning of its own manifestation: the miracle of statehood for the Jewish people. Embracing the diversity of views about an ideology come to life, he offers clues to Zionisms next chapters as Israel matures, struggles, and strives to keep faith with its founders vision.
Daniel B. Shapiro, former U.S. ambassador to the State of Israel
This work promises to be an important contribution to Jewish historiography. I highly recommend it.
Howard Sachar, professor emeritus of history and international affairs at George Washington University
Gil Troy is ideally situated to update this classic: as an outstanding scholar and historian, community leader, and one of todays most inspiring and influential Zionist thinkers and commentators. The result is a must-reada Zionist Bible for the twenty-first centurycomprehensive and compelling. The impressive range of thinkers, from yesterday to today, from pioneers to torchbearers, from left to right, illuminated by Professor Troys extraordinary commentary, attests to and affirms the enduring character of the Zionist idea.
Irwin Cotler, former minister of justice and attorney general of Canada, and human rights activist
This is an incredible collectionso very well thought out and conceptualized!
Csaba Nikolenyi, director of the Azrieli Institute of Israel Studies at Concordia University

In loving memory of our mother and grandmother, Rosalie Chris (Laks) Lerman, who blessed us with a passionate love for Israel and Judaism.
And in loving tribute to our teacher, Mel Reisfield, a life-changing Zionist educator who energized generations of American Jewish youth to understand the centrality of Israel to Jewish life.
Rosalie Chris (Laks) Lerman was born in Starachowice, Poland, in 1926 to Isaak and Pola Laks. Isaak and Pola were modern Jews and committed Zionists. They taught their three daughters Hebrew, Torah-driven values, and Jewish history. They raised their children to visualizeand hoped they would experiencea world in which Jews were restored to a national homeland in Israel.
The Nazi invasion of Poland upended their lives. Pola perished in the first death-camp deportations. Isaak died in Auschwitz months before the war ended. Miraculously, the Laks daughters survived Auschwitz and the death march to Ravensbruck.
Despite these experiences, Rosalie believed in the ability of the world to repair, and in the power of light over darkness and love over hate. She, along with our father and grandfather, Miles Lerman, spent a lifetime working to create a world of trust, understanding, and mutual respect among all people.
Rosalie felt privileged to experience the miracle of modern Israel. She celebrated Israels successes and was candid in acknowledging its flaws. She viewed Israel as a work in progress, knowing we still have much to do before the Zionist dream of a Jewish homeland thriving in peace and harmony with its neighbors is realized.
May the courage and optimism of Rosalie Chris (Laks) Lerman and the vision and passionate teaching of Mel Reisfield inspire us all.
David Lerman, Shelley Wallock, Brooke Lerman, Julia Lerman, and Ted Lerman

The Zionist idea gave meand millions of othersa meaningful identity. In June 1967, when I was nineteen, the call from JerusalemThe Temple Mount Is in Our Handspenetrated the Iron Curtain. Democratic Israels surprising victory in the Six-Day War, defeating Arab dictatorships threatening to destroy it, inspired many of us all over the world to become active participants in Jewish history. This notion that the Jews are a people with collective rights to establish a Jewish state in our ancient homeland, the Land of Israel, connected us to something more important than simple physical survival. Forging a mystical link with our people, we discovered identity, or as we call it, peoplehood. Suddenly we Soviet Jews, Jews of silence, robbed of our heritage by the Soviet regime, realized there is a country that called us its children.
As thousands of us applied to immigrate to Israel, roused by that cry from our distant past, anticipating a more hopeful future even while knowing the cost we would have to pay in the present, we found meaning in the Zionist idea.
