Return to Zion

Return to Zion refers to the historical and spiritual movement of Jewish people returning to their ancestral homeland in Israel, particularly Jerusalem. The term "Zion" symbolizes the aspiration for national and spiritual renewal in the land of Israel. This movement gained momentum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, culminating in the establishment of the modern State of Israel in 1948. It encompasses both a connection to ancient Jewish history and a contemporary quest for self-determination, identity, and a safe haven for Jews worldwide.
