state. A century later, we will be visiting some of the most important destinations in his travels, reflecting on the momentous impact of his life journey, delving into the circumstances and events that shaped the man and his vision, rejoicing in all that the Zionist enterprise has achieved, and considering all that it yet has to accomplish.
