עמוד:29
Zionism The Zionist movement was founded at the end of the 19 th century . The Zionists wanted to establish a Jewish state in the Land of Israel . The State of Israel was established in 1948 and many Jews fulfilled the ancient dream to live in an independent Jewish state in the Land of Israel . We have seen that many members of Hadas’s family immigrated to Israel . Did many members of Jonathan’s family also immigrate to Israel ? The Shoah Six million Jews were murdered in Europe during World War II . Large , vibrant Jewish communities were completely destroyed . The vast majority of the victims of the Shoah were European Jews . Why did the Shoah have a greater impact on Jonathan’s family than on Hadas’s ? Integration and Assimilation During the past two hundred years , Jews living in different countries have participated actively in their surrounding society and become an important part of it . They have worked with non-Jews and become friends with them . Many have become less connected to Jewish tradition and the Jewish community . This process is called assimilation . Assimilation can sometimes lead to intermarriage . Hadas’s family Have any of Hadas’s family intermarried ? If so , did this happen in an earlier or later generation ? Where do these couples live ? Jonathan’s family Have any of Jonathan’s family intermarried ? If so , did this happen in an earlier or later generation ? Where do these couples live ? List the phenomena mentioned above in your notebooks : migration , Zionism , the Shoah , and integration and assimilation . Next to each one , write how much you think they affected Jonathan’s and Hadas’s families : “ major impact , ” “ minor impact , ” or “ no impact . ”
