Theodore Binyamin Ze'ev Herzl grew up in a secular Jewish family, but during his life he was exposed to the Jewish tradition as part of various events such as his Bar Mitzvah. Although he acquired his academic education in the field of law, he chose the field of writing and upon graduation he gradually began to specialize in the field of journalism.Herzl's effects on the Zionist state began with an event called the Dreyfus trial. In the Dreyfus trial, the Jewish officer Alfred Dreyfus was accused of espionage, fraud and treason. Herzl, who was at the time a senior journalist, covered the event for one of the most influential newspapers in Vienna - the Neue Freya Persa. The anti-Semitism he was exposed to during the trial made Herzl realize that a solution must be found for the Jewish nation, and he decides to dedicate his life to the cause.He writes books, in which he plans in detail the Jewish state he aspires to - its appearance, the conditions it offers to its residents and the ideology that stands at its foundation. In order to realize his idea, he will meet with high-ranking leaders, travel from one country to another and recruitmoney.
