"Faith, land and people are
the strand's that enter into the
fabric of Jewish history, and the
resumption of national life in
the ancient land is a basic credo
of the Orthodox faith," Rufus
Learsi asserts in his impressive
new book, "Fulfillment: The
Epic Story of Zionism." He
makes this statement to prove
that "no skill is required to prove
that Jewish national restoration
is an integral part of tradition-
: al Judaism."
"Fulfillment," issued by World
Publishing Co., (2231 W. 110th,
Cleveland 2), is an excellent
complement to Learsi's earlier
history, "Israel: History of the
Jewish People."
• Writing under the pen name
"Rufus Learsi," Israel Goldberg,
the author of this volume, car-
ries on a great one-man tradi-
tion in modern Jewish literature
and humor. He was co-author
of "Outline of Jewish History."
Now he again makes American
Jewry his debtor with his splen-
did book "Fulfillment."
Covers Entire History
Covering the entire history of
Zionism, from earliest days,
Learsi traces every era in Jewish
nationalism, including such as
were inaugurated by Mordecai
Manuel Noah in this country,
the hopes for a redeemed Israel
that were expressed in Jewish
piety, the aspirations of the
great poet Yehudah Halevi, the
periods of the "false messiahs,"
etc.
"England was not the only
country that produced Christian
champions of Jewish national
revival in Palestine," he points
out in reviewing the activities
of people in other lands who
backed the Zionist idea.
The losses and the gains in
the course of Israel's upbuilding,
in the years during which Zion-
ists struggled in behalf of the
Jewish national idea, are re-
counted with skill by this able
writer. His volume, which also is

-

illustrated with photographs of
Zionist leaders and maps, is ex-
cellent for private reading, as
well as textbook in our schoois
and for use by adult classes and
cultural groups. It is a splendid
work which concludes with these
realistic words which should
help Zionists carry on their
work:
"Zionism Will Not Die"
"As historic movements go,
Zionism had a speedy passage
from inception to realization,
whether we consider it to have
begun with the meteoric appear-
ance of Herzl in 1896, or with
the upsurge of Chibat Zion in
1881. But those dates, like many
others in history, are arbitrary:
the inner and outer pressures
that gave wings to the _ Chibat
Zion of Rabbi Samuel Mohiliv-
er and Baron Edmond Roths-
child and the Political Zionism
of Herzl and Nordau were born
when the Romans destroyed the
Second Jewish Commonwealth,
and the modern Movement reap-
ed what the centuries had sown.
For in a wider and truer sense
Zionism is the sum total of the
thoughts, emotions and deeds to
which the Jewish people the
world over have been stirred by
the land called Holy, the cradle
and center of their national and
spiritual life. And in that sense
it may be safely affirmed that,
whatever its forms and instru-
ments, Zionism will not die but
live."
The history of every branch in
the Zionist movement is pre-
sented by Learsi dispaSsionately.
without bias or preference,
strictly with historical back-
ground as the objective. Thus,
whether one is Poale Zionist,
Mizrachist, General Zionist, he
will find "Fulfillment" valuable
and instructive. Here is a volume
which, indeed, will be a guide for
all Zionists in an hour when the
movement beckons for new
strength.
