Rabbi Herzl Fishman's sweeping vision for Israeli identity challenges the fundamental premises of secular Zionism in his landmark Hebrew work "Hazon VeSivro" (The Meaning of Jewish Destiny). At the heart of Israel's contemporary spiritual crisis, Fishman argues, lies a profound misunderstanding of Zionism's essential character. Through extensive documentation from scholarly studies, historical analysis, and contemporary Israeli discourse, he demonstrates that Jewish peoplehood and religion are inseparable, both emerging from the Sinaitic covenant. This relationship demands that authentic Zionism move beyond mere national normalization to reconstitute the Jewish people on their historic soil, fulfilling their divine mandate as "a light unto the nations." The nearly 400-page analysis reveals how Israeli secularism, shaped by Emancipation-era ideologies and paradoxically reinforced by Orthodox religious establishment practices, has impeded the realization of Zionism's true potential. Rather than declaring Zionism a failure, Fishman contends it has never been genuinely attempted, advocating for a new synthesis of Jewish religious values with national statehood that transcends Western democratic individualism to create an authentically Jewish society.
