Over 120 years ago, the First Zionist Congress met to hammer out a vision for the Jewish people’s future.

This week, Israel observed the 121st anniversary of the First Zionist Congress, a momentous occasion at which the idea of a nation in the Jewish people’s ancestral homeland began to become a reality.

Over one hundred years later, the Jewish people thrive in the State of Israel, a modern nation that is home to the spiritual capital of the world.

Take a look back at some critical moments in the Jewish state’s inception!
