The Zionist Imperative:
The Goals of Zionism Today
Herzl's political Zionist vision has been realized by the State of Israel, but the spiritual Zionist vision of Ahad Ha'Am – the creation of a fully developed modern Jewish culture - has not. Despite the desire of most Israeli Jews to maintain their cultural identity, many are “assimilating” to Western ways. To reverse this trend, the Zionist quest to create a Jewish spiritual center in Israel must be actively pursued in Israel by Israelis.
