Benzion Netanyahu > Quotes

“His soul was tormented by the national distress; and since his pain was not relieved through a national effort, it could find expression only in his burning prayers and moving lines of poetry. Once, young Pinsker witnessed his father’s tears when the latter prayed for the salvation of his people. It was a sorrow which bore deep into the child’s heart and imbued him with undying determination to change the lot of his people for the better.”
― Benzion Netanyahu, The Founding Fathers of Zionism
