The Unknown Essays of Vladimir Jabotinsky (Research Note) by Louis Gordon

April 20, 1997

While most of Vladimir Jabotinsky's articles have been published in various volumes of collected writings and have thus been available to scholars for years, a number of his essays remain unknown to both scholars as well as his disciples. This is largely due to the fact that the Revisionist party's archives were destroyed during the bombing of London, but also because of the wide range of publications in which Jabotinsky published. This article introduces four recently discovered essays, "Self-Administration for Palestine" (1920), "The Justice of the Jewish Claim" (1921), "Shall the Jewish Middleman be Spared" (1930), and "The Jewish Mission, the Religious Ideals of the Jew and of the Aryan Compared" (1923), and discusses how they add to our understanding of Jabotinsky as well as their continued relevance for our own era."

This is Only the Fact, But We Have the Idea: Solomon Schechter’s Path to Zionism

April 20, 1997 | David B. Starr

In 1905, after much hesitation, and in spite of significant opposition from lay supporters of the Jewish Theological Seminary, Solomon Schechter declared publicly his allegiance to Zionism. This essay explores his path to that occurrence, and argues that three factors influenced his course of action. First, the events of 1904 and 1905: Herzl's death, the Russian pogroms in the fall of 1905, and the continuing interest in territorialism, all of which suggested a need for leadership and a program that could unify world Jewry.
