Abstract

This article examines the Zionist commitment of four rabbis of Hungarian descent who were active in Bohemia and Moravia around 1900. Only their transnational careers provide a satisfactory explanation of their political involvement.

They tended to conceptualise a specifically Jewish nation faster than some of their colleagues. Some also endeavored to smuggle Zionist ideas back into Hungary.
