Theodor Herzl was, at first glance, an unlikely hero. An unremarkable journalist and a mediocre playwright, and yet, fate had something extraordinary in store for him.
A scandalous trial—fueled by the poisonous antisemitism—shook Europe and sent Herzl on an improbable journey: Within less than a decade, this Viennese outsider transformed into a visionary leader, founded a global movement, and planted the seed of a future Jewish state.
In our first episode of Israeli Puzzle, we’ll tell the story of Theodor Herzl— His unlikely rise, his impossible dream, and how he became the visionary behind the State of Israel.
