Judaica / Zionism - Pendant / Medal in memory of Benjamin Zeev Herzl - JNF
Face: A relief of Herzl's portrait facing left and above it the embossed inscription in Hebrew "If you will, this is not a legend"
Back: In English "Herzl memorial medal 1860-1904" and under "Jewish national fund"
Benjamin Zeev Theodor Herzl was a Jewish journalist, jurist, writer, playwright and statesman, born in Budapest. Developer of the idea of political Zionism and founder of Zionism as an institutionalized national-political movement. In the Zionist movement, and later in the Jewish public in the locality of Eretz Israel and around the world, as well as in literature, art and research, he was awarded the title "State Contract".
From the convening of the first Zionist Congress in 1897 until Herzl's death, the Zionist movement became a political and practical, dynamic and significant movement. Herzl's ideas resonated with European Jewry, reaching Jewish communities around the world. The support of the masses of Jews for the ideas of Zionism influenced the increase in the waves of immigration to the Land of Israel, and it was this that ultimately enabled the establishment of the State of Israel.
