Kabbalah Transforms into Zionism

The concluding session focuses on two key historical figures of the 19th century – a sherif of New York Mordecai Manuel Noah and a Serbian kabbalist Rabbi Judah Alkalai, and their concrete plans to revive Jewish sovereignty in the land of Israel. Each had a different plan; however, both shared a fundamental commonality - the kabbalistic thought that lies at the heart of their Zionism.
