The Way

The discovery of Karl Marx’s writings by Russian Jews in the mid-1870s changed the way they viewed their situation and provided a framework for them to become political actors. The chapter provides a careful reading of Jewish philosophical texts and propaganda literature from the late 1870s. It suggests that Jews who were drawn to Marx viewed Marx in conjunction with, not in opposition to, the Hebrew Bible and the Kabbalah. The early Jewish Marxists’ primary target was the Russian state, not their Jewish parents. The Jewish materialists teased out the messianic universal aspirations and nationalist assumptions that they saw behind Marx’s theories of revolution.

Alliance Israelite Universelle

The true historical invention of modern Jewish nationalism was the result of an internal development within the Jewish Enlightenment movement known as the Haskalah. The Haskalah began in Germany in the mid-eighteenth century under the aegis of Moses Mendelssohn, one of the most formidable philosophers of his age. “Modern Jewish Nationalism, 1872–1897” outlines early Jewish nationalist ideology including Peretz Smolenskin’s periodical Ha-Shahar (The dawn), founded in 1868; Russian Jews Moshe Leib Lilienblum and Eliezer Ben-Yehuda; Leon Pinsker; the Alliance Israélite Universelle, set up to improve the conditions of the Jews around the world; and the movements Bilu and Love of Zion that set up agricultural communities in Palestine.
