Chaim Weizmann: 150 Years since His Birth - An Evaluation
Summary
It is 150 years since the birth of Chaim Weizmann (1874–1952), former chairman of the World Zionist Organization and the first president of the State of Israel. He once claimed, “Miracles do happen, but one has to work very hard for them.” What was his dream for Zionism in this increasingly dark world? Can his dream still be realised?
