Ahad Ha’am’s Cultural Zionism: Moses in the Shadow of Jeremiah and Muhammad: Dr. Yosefa Raz, The Torah.com. Apr. 19, 2024 — Asher Ginsberg (1856–1927), better known as Ahad Ha’am, “one of the people,”[ was a principal intellectual figure of Russian Zionism, and was most known for his pithy and authoritative essays. A reclusive, self-taught scholar, he was active in a small circle of elite male Hebraists in early twentieth-century Odessa. His essays detailed an ambitious program to revive the Hebrew language and found a “spiritual center” in Palestine that would radiate outward, educating and inspiring world Jewry. At the heart of his work was his belief in a Jewish prophetic-national spirit with the potential to awaken European Jews, curing them both of exilic woes and the seductions of Emancipation.
