add to cart   close window

The connection of the Jewish people with Palestine runs back over 3,000 years. Despite 2,000 years of exile, the country of the Book lives in the soul of the People of the Book and its memories cherished in poetry and prayer has never died. While many earlier attempts founded on religious and messianic hopes were made by the Jews to return to their ancestral land, the present national movement dates from the nineteenth century. Under enormous handicaps the Choveve Zion attempted small settlements in the early eighties and due to the sympathetic and generous support of activist Baron Edmond de Rothschild managed to survive.
