Binyamin Ze'ev Herzl
Binyamin Ze'ev Herzl, often referred to simply as Theodor Herzl, was a Hungarian-born Jewish journalist, playwright, and political activist who is considered the father of modern Zionism. Born on May 2, 1860, in Pest, Hungary, Herzl played a crucial role in advocating for the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine, driven by the rising tide of anti-Semitism in Europe. He organized the First Zionist Congress in 1897 in Basel, Switzerland, which marked the formal beginning of the Zionist movement. Herzl's vision was articulated in his influential book 'Der Judenstaat' ('The Jewish State'), published in 1896, where he laid out the need for a sovereign Jewish homeland. He died on July 3, 1904, but his legacy continues to shape Jewish identity and the political landscape of Israel today.
