Der Judenstaat

Der Judenstaat (in French: the State of the Jews ) is the title of the famous book published in 1896 by Theodor Herzl, considered as the founder of the Sionisme, in which this last analyzes the question of the Juifs and takes for asset the facts that:

the people of the world will be able to support, in the long term, neither the Peuple of Israel in their center, neither his religious particularism, neither its leaders, nor his mentality;
the growing Anti-semitism, at the base of the national alarm clock of the People of Israel, will oblige, early or late, the people of the world to find an appropriate solution with this problem. It takes 6 weeks for Herzl to write its book Der Judenstaat , in 1895, and this in a context of intense inspiration.

In its book, Herzl proposes a detailed program of the creation of a State for the Jews, with his internal organization and her institutions. Theodor Herzl defends the idea there to restore in a modern form the Jewish national entity which had existed in Palestine at the time antique. Only this Jewish national State would offer a solution to the problem of the Antisémitisme.

The publication of the book in 1896 involves simultaneously a sharp opposition in the official Judaïsme and at the Rabbin S of Western Europe, as well as a passion and an important recognition among the Jews of Eastern Europe. Der Judenstaat is translated first Hebrew once in by Michael Berkovitz, then one second by Asher Barash.
