JEWISH SIGNS
Both these terms are in common use to-day in speaking of the popular and significant movement in the Jewish Nation. The former is the more ancient, the latter the more modern.
The love of Zion possesses a wonderful hold on the Jewish heart. Zionism and Nationalism are not identical. The one turns to the past, which it would feebly restore, the other looks to the future, which it would strengthen and idealise. The one seizes on the passing phases of Jewish life, the other fastens on the eternal phases. The one thinks of restoration, the other of accomplishment. The one lives on memories, the other on hopes. The one throws itself on the material and the physical, the other on the spiritual and the religious.
An important meeting has been held at Liberty Hall, New York, which was well attended, to consider the formation of a new Zionistic Society in that city. Amongst those present were ex-Register Ferdinand Levy, Dr. Pereira Mendes, Rabbis Kopfstein, Klein Drachmann, Dr. G. Appel, and Herr M. Singer, Editor of the Toleranz. It was resolved amid great enthusiasm to form the new society which shall co-operate with the European societies, and that the movement shall be adequately represented at the Munich Congress, and that the Society will labour on the lines indicated in Dr. Herzl's "Judenstaat," eschewing all local political questions.
A weekly Zionistic organ Die Welt is about to make its appearance in Vienna. This journal will support the forthcoming Zionist Congress in Munich.
