HERZL: UP CLOSE
AND PERSONAL
In Pursuit of the Zionist Vision
A traveling exhibition celebrating the
visionary of the Jewish State on the 100th
anniversary of his passing
Herzl: Up Close and Personal
I truly believe that even
after we possess our
land, Zionism will not
cease to be an ideal. For
Zionism includes not only
the yearning for a plot of
promised land legally
acquired for our weary
people, but also the
yearning for ethical and
spiritual fulfillment.
from Theodor Herzl’s diary
Herzl: Up Close and Personal
100 years after Herzl’s passing, it is up to
a new generation to embrace Herzl’s
legacy and make it its own.
The exhibit is not just about Herzl – it is
about how contemporary Jews can
think about, define and shape their
own personal relationship to Israel and
the Jewish people
Individuals visiting the exhibit, reading the
materials, and considering the
questions posed can become engaged
in this process. Their experience can
even be enhanced if they are prepared
for it by community leaders and
educators.
