Description
The Hope
The Rebirth of Israel
DVD by Gordon Robertson
“At Basel, I founded the Jewish State. Perhaps in five years and certainly within 50, everyone will know it.”
Theodor Herzl wrote these words in his diary on September 3, 1897. Fifty years and nine months later Herzl’s dream became a reality when David Ben-Gurion announced the establishment of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948.
The Hope is the story of the half-century before Israel’s rebirth, told through the eyes of the Nation’s founders.
Theodor Herzl – “The Father of Modern Zionism,” who dedicated his life to the idea of a Jewish State.
Chaim Weizmann – Israel’s first President, who helped secure International support for the State of Israel.
David Ben-Gurion – Israel’s founder and first Prime Minister, whose love for the Bible inspired his drive for independence.
