HERZL: UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL In Pursuit of the Zionist
Vision
A traveling exhibition celebrating the visionary of the
Jewish State on the 100th anniversary of his passing
Herzl: Up Close and Personal
I truly believe that even after we possess our land, Zionism will not cease to be an ideal. For Zionism includes not only the yearning for a plot of promised land legally acquired for our weary people, but also the yearning for ethical and spiritual fulfillment.
from Theodor Herzl’s diary
Herzl: Up Close and Personal
100 years after Herzl’s passing, it is up toa new generation to embrace Herzl’s
legacy and make it its own.
The exhibit is not just about Herzl – it is about how contemporary Jews can think about, define and shape their
own personal relationship to Israel and the Jewish people
Individuals visiting the exhibit, reading the materials, and considering the

even be enhanced if they are prepared for it by community leaders and
educators.
