Seeking
Zion
Modernity and Messianic Activism in the Writings
of Tsevi Hirsch Kalischer
Author Information - Contents - Reviews - Listing
This
study examines the modern revival of the belief among religious Jews that
they are duty-bound to hasten messianic redemption. It focuses on the
efforts of Rabbi Tsevi Hirsch Kalischer, who presented a unique interpretation
of classical Jewish texts in support of reviving sacrificial worship and
Jewish agricultural settlement in Palestine. Kalischer’s achievements
are placed in the context of the Enlightenment, Jewish civic emancipation,
European colonialism, and the emerging religious divisions between Jews.
