http://www.jpost.com/Features/InThespotlight/Article.aspx?id=278456 Начиная работу над новым номером нашего журнала, я обычно просматриваю сотни ссылок на различные ресурсы в поисках чего-нить интересного. И вот обнаружил, что The Jerusalem Post сослался на мою англоязычную монографию о Лазаре нашем Марковиче, изданную пару лет назад в Нью-Йорке.
In his earlier years, Zamenhof was an ardent Zionist. Indeed, he told The Jewish Chronicle in 1907 that during his time as a medical student at the Imperial Moscow University, he initiated the founding of - what he believed to be - the first Jewish political organization in Russia. Over the years, however, Zamenhof's views shifted. According to Aleksandr Korzhenkov's The Life, Works, and Ideas of the Author of Esperanto, Zamenhof came to believe that the Jewish people were making a mistake in merging ethnicity with religion, since this meant that they could neither be absorbed into another ethnic group, nor could they themselves absorb different peoples. Zamenhof instead, adopted an ideology which he called "Hillelism," based on Rabbi Hillel's ethos: “What you do not want done to you, do not do unto others.”
