Jewish Nationalism is a movement that seeks to establish and promote a national identity for the Jewish people. It emphasizes the importance of a shared culture, history, and language, often centered around the idea of a homeland in Israel. This movement gained momentum in the late 19th century, particularly with the efforts of leaders like Theodor Herzl, who advocated for the establishment of a Jewish state. At its core, Jewish Nationalism aims to unite Jews worldwide and foster a sense of belonging and pride in their heritage. It also addresses the historical struggles faced by Jews, including persecution and displacement, by advocating for self-determination and the preservation of Jewish culture and traditions.
