| Title | The Reception of Early Zionist Movement in Budapest (1897-1914) |
| Summary | The topic of this thesis is the reception of the early Zionist movement in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. Based on the articles of contemporary Jewish newspapers the debate between Neolog, Orthodox Jews and Zionists is presented between the time of the First Zionist Congress (1897) and the outbreak of the First World War (1914). The aim of the research was to analyze the attitude of the emancipated Jewish community of Budapest towards Zionism and the responses given to that by the Zionists. The two major denominations of Judaism rejected the Zionist movement in their official organs. The Neologs referred to their loyalty to the Hungarian state, while the Orthodox Jews did not support it due to its secular nature and to religious reasons. The debate evolving around Zionism exposes some of the characteristic features of assimilation, emancipation, integration and nationalism in Hungary. |
