          Salmon, Yosef. Religion and Zionism: First Encounters. Hebrew

          [This book deals with the role that Jewish religion played in
          the evolution of the Zionist movement, both in the
          consolidation of a Jewish national consciousness and in the
          actual day to day activity of the Jewish nationalist movement.
          Insofar as national consciousness was concerned, a recurring
          question in the early movement was whether religious identit
          constituted a necessary component of nationalist identity. This
          book traces the tweists and turns of the interaction between
          these two forces in Jewish history from the early 1860s until
          1920.]
