In a world before the internet, social media, or endless efforts to delegitimize Jewish nationhood and nationalism, Zionism was a beacon of light against the threat of hate and division that threatened the stability of Jewish life in Europe in the 1800s. One man is remembered for his courageous acts of diplomacy and leadership - Theodor Herzl, a young man whose vision has since become a reality in the thriving modern yet old state of our one and only Israel.

As leaders from around the world gathered this weekend in Basel, Switzerland, they represent the streams of commitment, passion and hope that have continued to thrive since the first Zionist Congress in that very space so many years ago. Our Israel Forever leaders were there representing the hopes of all our Virtual Citizens of Israel who believe that we share in the fate of this ancestral legacy.

It is with great honor that we are pleased to present to you these original resources we have compiled in honor of the 125th anniversary of the Zionist Congress on behalf of The Israel Forever Foundation.
