A Yearning to Belong Sholom Aleichem believed that before Jews could return to the Jewish land, they had to “return to the Jewish People.” It was an idea that struck a chord with Jews throughout Eastern Europe—including many with little or no interest in Zionism. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, thousands of young people, Jews and Christians alike, joined youth groups, clubs, unions and other organizations that sprang up throughout Poland. These groups gave members a sense of purpose and satisfied their yearning to belong. |
