Ahad Ha’am and Martin Buber: Zionism, Existentialism, and Community
Buber and Ahad Ha’am, each representing a discrete Jewish response to modernity, are inextricably linked in the history of Jewish thought in the twentieth century. We explore the histori­cal and philosophical context of the activities of these two giants; thence analyze their writings—existentialism and Judaism, struggles over political versus cultural Zionism, the nature of Jewish community, tradition, and renewal—and assess their impact on Jewish history, politics, and thought in the twentieth century and beyond.
