Novel Profiles Pioneers MAURICE SAMUELSON A rarely told chapter in the founding of Israel is told in a new novel published at the outset of Israel's 40th anniversary year. Elon Salmon's Gates of Hope is set in 19th Century Palestine, and follows the for- tunes of a Jewish family — from the arrival of its patriarch in 1812 to the fami- ly's role in the establishment six decades later of Petach Tikvah, the Yishuv's first modern farming community. A moving, human saga with a wealth of dramatic and poignant anecdotes, it is first and foremost a work of fic- tion. But it is a good deal more, since it illuminates a shadowy chapter of Jewish history which is usually overlooked by the chroniclers of the Zionist movement. Based for the most part on the lives of real people, the story is woven into a tableau of actual events in Europe and the Middle East. It shows how decades before the emergence of Theodor Herzl and the earlier "Lovers of Zion movement" there were real stirrings of Jewish na- tional revival in the im- poverished "old Yishuv" of Palestine. One of the book's pro- tagonists is based on the founder of Petach Tikvah, Yoel Moshe Salamon, who also founded Halevanon, the first Hebrew newspaper in Jerusalem; the Bikkur Cholim health organization; and Assia, now one of the world's • leading phar- maceutical companies. Author Salmon, 50, one of Salamon's descendants, has devoted the past nine years to researching and writing the book. "The story of this book has always been with me," said Salmon, a ninth- generation Israeli who con- tributes pieces on Middle East affairs to the London Economist. "It is my heritage, my birth certificate. It is not just the story of my family, but the story of Israel." The novel commences with the arrival in Palestine of Solomon Zeff, a Lithuanian Jew, with his wife and young child. They make their way to Safed, but disaster compels them to go to Jerusalem, where three generations of their descendants are to lead the growing Jewish communi- ty and found Petach Tikvah. The character of Zeff is bas- ed ' on the author's first ancestor to reach Palestine, Zalman Tsoref, who came from Lithuania "out of blind faith," according to Salmon. Like their counterparts in the novel, Tsoref, his sons and grandsons were energetic, successful people involved in public life. "They were a force in the old Yishuv and wanted to break the old mold so that it could achieve self-suffi- ciency," he said. But they were not socialists, and re- tained great respect religious tradition. The novel ends abruptly in 1898, during Herzl's cele- brated visit to Jerusalem in the footsteps of the German Kaiser. That was not, however, the end of the story for the Salamon family. The author's father, the late Col. Katriel Salmon, was close to David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first premier. After being serious- ly wounded in the War of In- dependence, the colonel became Israel's first military attache in London and suc- ceeded Chaim Herzog in the same post in Washington. He died in an auto accident in 1967. The novelist himself served Israel as an officer in the Golani Brigade in the Six- Day War and as a civil ser- vant in the Ministry of Iburism. But his most dur- able achievement is this epic story of the forgotten founders of the Jewish state. Copyright 1987, JTA, Inc.
