Jerusalem Program
The Jerusalem Program (Template:Lang-he) is the ideological plataform of the Zionist Movement, and was initially adopted in 1951 at the 23rd World Zionist Congress to replae the Basel Program [1]
The Jerusalem Program differed from the original Basel Program in which it shifted the goals of the Zionist Movement once the State of Israel was already established.
The 1953 Jerusalem Program stated that[2]:
The task of Zionism is the consolidation of the [[State of Israel[[, the ingathering of exiles in Eretz Israel, and the fostering of the unity of the Jewish people.
The program of work of the World Zionist Organization is:
1. Encouragement of immigration, absorption and integration of immigrants; support of Youth Aliyah; stimulation of agricultural settlement and economic development; acquisition of land as the property of the people.
2. Intensive work for halutziut (pioneering) and hachsharah (training for halutziut).
3. Concerted effort to harness funds in order to carry out the tasks of Zionism.
4. Encouragement of private capital investment.
5. Fostering of Jewish consciousness by propagating the Zionist idea and strengthening the Zionist Movement; imparting the values of Judaism; Hebrew education and spreading the Hebrew language.
6. Mobilization of world public opinion for Israel and Zionism.
7. Participation in efforts to organize and intensify Jewish life on democratic foundations, maintenance and defense of Jewish rights.
The Jerusalem program revised by the 27th Zionist Congress in 1968, and It was most recently revised at the meeting of the Zionist General Council in June 2004.
