Another Zionism, Another Judaism

The biography presents a compelling portrait of Marcus Ehrenpreis, a pivotal Jewish leader whose vision for Zionism transcended nationalism, aiming instead for a spiritual and cultural renaissance of Judaism. Born in Ukraine in 1869, he served as a key figure during significant historical moments, including the first Zionist Congress and the Nazi era. Gèoran Rosenberg explores Ehrenpreis's quest to connect Jewish identity with broader humanity, reflecting on the complexities of Jewish existence in Europe and the evolving nature of Zionism against the backdrop of the Holocaust and the formation of Israel.
