Zvi Hirsch Kalischer (March 24, 1795 - October 16, 1874) was an Orthodox German

rabbi and one of Zionism's early pioneers in Germany.

He proposed:

  1. To collect money for this purpose from Jews in all countries;
  2. To buy and cultivate land in Palestine;
  3. To found an agricultural school, either in Palestine itself or in France; and
  4. To form a Jewish military guard for the security of the colonies.

To these and similar Zionist ideals he gave expression in his Derishat Zion,

containing three theses:

  1. The salvation of the Jews, promised by the Prophets, can come about only in a natural way - by self-help;
  2. Colonization in Palestine;
  3. Admissibility of the observance of sacrifices in Palestine in the present day.

The appendix contains an invitation to the reader to become a member of the colonization societies of Palestine.

The second part of the book is devoted to speaking to "the nations" who believe

in The Bible and the prophets, and persuading them, that this new course in history

is a logical one, and that they too can hope for the salvation of the Jewish nation

as part of the salvation of the entire world.
