For those concerned for the future Jewish state, it became apparent that the first priority was to wrest the land from the brutish Ottoman regime. This would entail the Aaronsohn spy ring supplying information to Allenby's Egyptian Expeditionary Force, Dr. Chaim Weizmann developing a method to create acetone by fermenting chestnuts, and British determination that poor Jews fleeing persecution in Russia should not settle on their shores.

TFJ: Series 1 Episode 15: The Birth of Israel

Over six thousand gathered for Herzl’s funeral in Vienna. In 1949 the State of Israel honored Herzl’s request and brought his bones to be buried in the state that he envisioned. Assimilated Herzl did not appreciate the meaning of the Land of Israel to the Jews, and was more concerned about acquiring a pragmatic solution – even if it would not be in Israel. TFJ takes a look at other lands that were offered to the Jews such as Birobidzan in far-eastern Siberia.

TFJ: The Birth of Israel - Episode 11

From the Bible it is clear that Israel is the natural soil that can nourish a Jewish soul. Assimilated Herzl was unaware of Jewish tradition and how inviolate the tradition that Jews must ultimately return to their ancient homeland.
