Early Zionist leadership was broad and diverse. The World Zionist Organization elections included an astonishing range of opinion, from religious Zionists to Socialists to the right wing Revisionist movement. This lecture will explore the ideological diversity of the early Zionist movement, the political dynamics between each movement, the ways in which that diversity shaped the actions of the Zionist executive in pre-state Israel, and the diversity of the modern Zionist movement today. The speaker will also discuss the relationship between Zionism, Israel and American Jewish politics as well as American Jewry.
Ari Ne'eman is a congregant at Tifereth Israel and an amateur student of Zionist and Israeli history. He works as a disability rights activist and directs the Autistic Self Advocacy Network. He was a member of the New York Jewish Week's 2010 '36 by 36' List and also received the 2014 Morton E. Ruderman Award for Inclusion.

He has a bachelor’s degree from UMBC, where he studied political science in the Sondheim Public Affairs Scholars Program.
