Jewish Socialism

Jewish Socialism is a movement that merges Jewish values—such as social justice, community, and charity—with socialist principles advocating for equality, workers' rights, and collective ownership. It emerged in the 19th and early 20th centuries among Jewish communities facing poverty and discrimination, emphasizing solidarity and ethical treatment of all people. Jewish Socialists sought to improve societal conditions through social reforms, often combining religious ideals with political activism, and played significant roles in labor movements and the founding of countries like Israel. It reflects a commitment to social justice rooted in cultural and spiritual traditions.
