Is Zionism still relevant in the 21st century? The answer to this question largely depends on how we define the term. If Zionism was a movement aimed at solving a “Jewish problem” through establishing a state, then today we should acknowledge ourselves to be post-Zionists. 

But if the ingathering of our exiles, cultivation of our soil, revival of our language and attainment of independence merely represent important stages in a larger revolution, we want the official Zionist institutions to commit their resources to identifying and implementing what comes next.

The State of Israel is a work in progress with many policies, structures, and even foundational ideas in dire need of repair. Recognizing that narrow Jewish nationalism can only bring the Jewish people so far, we take it upon ourselves to formulate a uniquely Hebrew universalist vision that can protect Zionism’s positive achievements while addressing and rectifying its flaws.

Zionism has radically changed the Jewish position and created the material conditions for Israel to reach the next objectives of our people’s revolution. But discovering those goals requires that we not be satisfied with the outdated ideological paradigms of previous generations. 

In order to effectively advance Israel’s story to the next stage, we must create a new VISION relevant to today.
