Course/Module description:
The Zionist Ideology was a strong enough force to revolutionize not only the lives of individuals, but also in the collective life of the Jewish people. It was able to create a modern national identity and finally a nation-state. In the decades that followed, however, its values have shifted dramatically, from a highly collective ideology to radical individualism.
