Abstract

Obnova Države Izrael 1948. godine, nakon dva tisućljeća izgnanstva (galut) i preživljene nacionalne katastrofe Holokausta predstavlja događaj koji je u potpunosti promijenio dinamiku odnosa na Bliskom istoku. Taj je događaj unutar religijske židovske zajednice stvorio pomutnju, otvorio brojne teološke dvojbe i stvorio potrebu temeljitog propitivanja stava te zajednice o cionizmu kao političkom pokretu. Od neuspjeha i katastrofe Bar Kohbina ustanka 135. godine ta je zajednica bila neprijateljski raspoložena prema bilo kakvom obliku političkog aktivizma. Cionizam je doživljavala bogohulnim projektom koji ljudskim djelovanjem nastoji postići kolektivno otkupljenje te naseljavanje Erec Izraela. Religijska židovska zajednica je smatrala kako je izgnanstvo židovskog naroda kao i cjelokupna povijest isključivi plod suverene Božje odluke koji ima plan za židovski narod, a na njemu je da obdržava sve zapovijedi, duhovno se obnovi te strpljivo čeka Božje smilovanje. Ukratko ta je zajednica osobnu pobožnost smatrala preduvjetom za postizanje političkog suvereniteta. Međutim nakon obnove državnosti ona je postepeno mijenjala svoj stav o cionizmu kao obliku političkog aktivizma. Ovaj diplomski rad opisuje tu promjenu i propituje kako su se dva izvora cionizma koji su dugo vremena bili oštro razdvojeni počela spajati.

Abstract (english)

The reconstruction of Israel in 1948, after two millennia in exile (galut) and following the horrific fate that befell the Jewish people during the Holocaust, completely changed the dynamics of relations in the Middle East. This event left religious Jewish communities in a state of reflection, raised numerous theological dilemmas, and created a need for thorough examination of the community's attitude towards Zionism as a political movement. Due to the failure and catastrophe of Bar Kokhaba's uprising in 135 AD the community grew hostile towards any kind of political activism. They viewed Zionism as a blasphemous project that sought to achieve collective redemption and the settlement of Eretz Israel by the human hand. The religious Jewish community saw exile and the entire history of the Jewish people as part of God's plan and it was on them to obey his commands, seek redemption and wait patiently for his mercy. To summarise, the Jewish community saw their personal piety as the foundation of their political sovereignty. After the restoration of their statehood, they gradually changed their view on Zionism. This master thesis describes that change and examines how the two sources of Zionism, which had historically been divided, started merging.
