 Zionism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The word "Zionist" is derived from the word "Zion" (Hebrew: ציון, Tziyyon), being one of the names of Jerusalem, as mentioned in the Bible.
Despite this, many religious Jews were not enthusiastic about Zionism before the 1930s, and many religious organisations opposed it on the grounds that an attempt to re-establish Jewish rule in Israel by human agency was blasphemous, since (in their view) only the Messiah could accomplish this.
Proto-Zionist groups such as Hibbat Zion were active in the 1880s in Eastern Europe where emancipation had not occurred to the extent it did in Western Europe (or at all).

Thought the Zion dance scene a touch hokey bit otherwise I thought the brothers showed the same style as Bound and delivered a more adult film this time round.

 The Jewish Peril: The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, published by The Britons   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The grandness of our might will require that suitable punishments should be awarded, that is to say, that they should be harsh, even in the case of the smallest attempt to violate the prestige of our authority for the sake of personal gain.
For example, our judges will know that, by attempting to show their indulgence, they will violate the law of justice, which is made in order to award an exemplary punishment to men for the offences which they have committed, and not in order to enable the judge to show his clemency.
This good quality ought only to be shown in private life, and not in the official capacity of a judge, which influences the whole basis of the education of mankind.

Where a community boasts more than one candidate for the Maccabee Award, it might be wise to plan for occasional get-togethers in one of the homes, at a conveniently located synagogue or school, or in a retreat or Shabbaton setting.
In connection with the articles and objects to be identified by the Maccabee Award candidates, it might be highly beneficial to have every youngster take an instant photograph of the items he has selected to describe and to make a scrapbook of them with appropriate captions.
For the limited purposes of this award, however, it is not essential that the candidate be familiar with all of them.

Sobol, whose play Ghetto won the 1989 Evening Standard Award, said: "I could hardly think of writing a play that would not address the situation or that would be out of context with the violent events.
Either the situation is being addressed directly or indirectly." Hisplay Eye Witness (2002) deals with an Austrian conscientious objector during the second world war, and Real Time (2002), as yet unproduced either at home or abroad, addresses the subject of the reservists' protest in Israel, which Sobol is involved in as an adviser.

 Israel’s Answer to the Zionist Dream   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
It is clear to me, as I’m sure it is to all of you, that the chief guardians of Zion are the members of the Israel Defense Forces, who offer this country better protection than the Jews have ever mustered, perhaps since their beginnings as a people.
Had it not been for the “romance” of Zion, the Jews could never have survived the humiliations of exile, yet when the time came to renounce the exile, it was painful to give up such a powerful dream.
We are now obliged to protect its reality as passionately as we once dreamed of Zion.  So far, it must be said that Israelis have done a far better job of defending their country militarily than they have done in projecting their feats of valor.
