Three Contextual Questions

We are starting our class on the Emergence of the Jewish State with these three critical contextual questions:
Three main questions:
1. What are the historical contexts of Zionism? When, where, why?
2. How did Zionism realize its goal of creating a Jewish state in Palestine?
3. Zionism wasn’t interested only in a Jewish national home (that’s the politics), but also very interested in trying to change Jews. What was this concern with Judaism, Jews, Jewish people, and what led to the sense of needing to change the Jews?
