Will Britain miss its Jews once they have gone?
The Jews are gone. No more Friday evening rush before sundown. No bakery windows stripped bare of freshly baked challah and bagels for the weekend. No more community centres, school halls or synagogues packed with fundraising dinners, charity auctions, school campaigns, along with the endless arguments over politics, antisemitism, Israel, whether the “golden age” of Jews in the UK has come to an end, or should we stay or should we go.

Just a few years after the publication of that essay Herzl authored another publication Altneuland (Old New Land), describing his imaginary future state. It would be a prosperous, liberal, multi-ethnic Jewish Commonwealth. Both Altneuland and Der Judenstaat formed the ideological bedrock for Zionism upon which the State of Israel was founded. For Herzl, Zionism was not just about the physical existence of a Jewish country, it was also about its character...
