1982Hardback. 8vo. 671 pages. 23 cm. First edition. In Hebrew. Added title page: The "He-Halutz" movement in Poland, 1917-1929. The He-Haluts was a Zionist pioneering movement in Poland. The founders of He-? Aluts believed that no political or propaganda accomplishment would benefit Zionism in the long run unless it were complemented by deeds of personal fulfillment, which became a primary objective in the organizations overall ideology. In other words, to actually implement the principles of He-? Aluts, the individual was expected both to identify with the Histadrut (Labor Federation) and to live on a cooperative kibbutz in Palestine. On an ideological level, the basic foundations of the He-? Aluts movement were consolidated in 1917. Based on a combination of universal socialist and nationalist concepts, they drew ideological influence from the Tseire Tsiyon party. He-? Aluts continued to evolve in Russia even after the change of regime. The fundamentals of agricultural training farms and links with the budding kibbutz movement in Palestine were laid down. The Fourth Aliyah (19241929) marked the first test of the populist concept, since at the time of the Third Aliyah (19191923) the previous immigration waveHe-? Aluts had still been in an amorphous ideological phase and had been a marginal factor in Diaspora public affairs. When He-? Aluts held its world conference in 1923, the movement numbered only 7, 000 registered members, but membership increased to tens of thousands within a year and a half. This massive growth led to a change in the organizations social structure. High-school students and middle-class youth were now replaced with thousands of working-class youngsters and unemployed individuals, including members of Zionist Socialist parties.
