An important letter about the chronicles of Zionism from prof. Tosef Kluzner addressed to Mr. Chaim Prozanski from the Zionist society "Bnei Zion" in Warsaw
Prof. Yosef Kluzner (1874-1959) was a literature critic, researcher and author, of the designers of the Israeli Academy and an enthusiastic Zionist. At the end of the 19th century, in Odessa, a central Zionist group formed, Kluzner served a main role together with other intellectuals. The groups supported the new settlements in Israel. In 1919 Kluzner left Odessa and immigrated to Israel. In Israel he was amongst the important philosophers in Israel and founders of the Hebrew University. In 1949 he was nominated as a candidate to be Israel's president, from the right wing.
This letter was written at his youth, in Warsaw, at the age of 28, as part of his involvement in the Zionist group. Kluzner addresses Pruzanski to assist the "Bnei Zion" society that set agoal to help the settlements in the land of Israel, and to the different institutes. He proposes that the Zionist activists from Warsaw (headed by "Bnei Zion") will gather and write a letter to the Odessa group, to expand their support of the settlements especially a school in Jaffa.
