Wein, Verlag des Vereines "Erez Israel", 1898.
The publication of Herzl's 'The Jewish State' in 1896 provided the blueprint for modern Zionism. Later, the World Zionist Movement became the force to drive the practical issues and implement Herzl's plan. The Congress was the Parliament of the Zionist Movement and the first Jewish representative political assembly. The first Zionist Congress held on the 29-31 of August 1897 was a landmark in Zionist and Jewish History, and one of the seminal moments in modern Jewish history.
