Zionism emerged at the end of the 19th century as an organized movement – with members, elected officials, a program, and all the other trappings of a political, diplomatic, and practical apparatus, including fundraising.
Zionism set an agenda for the Jewish people, inspired, motivated, and confirmed by the history of the Jewish people – its writings and prayers, and the constant attempts of individuals and groups to return to the Land of Israel, the Jewish homeland – despite their loss of independence and sovereignty throughout the centuries.
