18 Marcheshvan - Chovevei Tzion Founded - 1884
On this day in 1884, the Chovevei Tzion, or Lovers of Zion was constituted. The group aimed to promote Jewish immigration to pre-state Israel and to support Jewish agricultural settlement there. While focused on practical goals rather than political activism, the organization is considered foundational to modern Zionism. Their efforts laid the groundwork for the establishment of a Jewish State.
The movement emerged during a period of heightened persecution of Jews in the Russian Empire, including the May Laws of 1882 and waves of violent pogroms. Many Jews fled the region, with some choosing to immigrate to Ottoman-ruled pre-state Israel as part of the aliyah movement. One of the earliest successes of Chovevei Tzion was the founding of Rishon LeZion in 1882 by ten enthusiasts from Kharkiv, Ukraine despite challenges from the Ottoman government. Through fundraising and support from philanthropists like Baron Edmond James de Rothschild and Kalonymus Kalman Wolf Wissotzky, Chovevei Tzion worked on their goals.
On this day in 1884, the Kattowitz Conference brought together 34 delegates, including religious leaders like Rabbi Shmuel Mohilever and secular leaders like Leon Pinsker, to formalize the Chovevei Tzion movement. By the 1890s, the Russian branch gained legal recognition as "The Society for the Support of Jewish Farmers and Artisans in Syria and Eretz Israel," commonly known as the Odessa Committee. The committee played a pivotal role in founding settlements like Rechovot and Chadera and supporting other Jewish agricultural initiatives. By 1897, the organization had over 4,000 members, and many of its societies joined the Zionist Organization established during the First Zionist Congress in 1897, ensuring that the legacy of Chovevei Tzion would continue to shape the Zionist movement.
