Martyr, Victim, Sacrifice, Warrior
This chapter demonstrates that although the language of the first two aliyot (1882–1918) was dominated by “the myth of heroism and sacrificem,” the figure of the aqedah was not, however, central to their ethos and rhetoric. It also examines the continuity of Jewish religious martyrological terms within a secular socialist Hebrew culture and the unmistakable mark of a Russian impact. The chapter explores the gender trouble of one of the heralds of Zionist ideas in the Hebrew Revival literature, the novella Le'an? (Whither?) by M. Z. Feierberg (1875–1899).
Keywords: heroism, aliyot, Hebrew culture, gender, M. Z. Feierberg, aqedah
