A Zionism for Tomorrow
In this Rabbinic beit midrash, Micah Goodman explores the ideas, ideals, and values of a forward-looking Zionism for the 21st century. Drawing from biblical sources and Zionist visionaries, Micah charts a new course for Zionism that puts Judaism at the center.
Whereas Zionism had previously deployed universal frameworks such as nationalism to solve Jewish problems, a new Zionism will seek to develop Jewish frameworks for the sake of universal problems.
