January 21, 1882 - Bilu (Hebrew initials of Beit Ya'akov Lekhu ve-Nelkhah; "House of Jacob, come ye and let us go," Isa. 2:5) was initiated by a fast on this day as an organized group of young Russian Jews pioneered the modern return to Erez Israel. "Bilu was a reaction to the 1881 pogroms in southern Russia, when the ideology of Jewish nationalism began to replace that of assimilation, which was prevalent among the youth."
