Abstract
ABSTRACT In July 1950, Moroccan Rabbi Yahya Ben Harosh wrote a letter to his students chastising those exposed to ultraOrthodox anti-Zionist influences for disparaging and denigrating Zionist leaders and the founders of the State of Israel. This article discusses the historical background to the letter, including the ideological foundation of the rabbi’s vigorous protest: from his position regarding the messianic concept to the religious affirmation of Zionism as a national-liberation movement. As such, Ben Harosh’s stimulating letter is not an isolated episode but a reflection of the longstanding religious and ideological antecedents of Zionism, dating back to the 16th century, which contained the main elements of the would-be Zionist endeavour. So much so that it is arguable that the 16th century set in motion a fundamental process worthy of being the departure point of Zionist historiography.
1950年7月，摩洛哥拉比Yahya Ben Harosh给他的学生写了一封信，谴责那些受到极端正统反犹太复国主义影响的人贬低和诋毁犹太复国主义领导人和以色列国的缔造者。本文讨论了这封信的历史背景，包括拉比强烈抗议的思想基础:从他对弥赛亚概念的立场到对犹太复国主义作为民族解放运动的宗教肯定。因此，本·哈罗什那封激动人心的信并不是一个孤立的事件，而是犹太复国主义长期存在的宗教和意识形态根源的反映，可以追溯到16世纪，其中包含了潜在犹太复国主义努力的主要因素。以至于可以说，16世纪开启了一个值得作为犹太复国主义史学起点的基本进程。
