Judah L. Magnes (hereafter JLM), journal, June 16–18, 1923, in Arthur Goren, Dissenter in Zion: From the Writings of Judah L. Magnes (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard Univ. Press, 1982), document 42. 3. Here I disagree with Bernard Wasserstein who claims that Magnes worked “without ideological blinkers.” See Bernard Wasserstein,“The Arab-Jewish Dilemma,” in Like All the Nations? The Life and Legacy of Judah L. Magnes, ed. William Brinner and Moses Rischin (Albany: State Univ. of NewYork Press, 1987), 196. Magnes was motivated by ideology, only it existed dispersed within his political tracts rather than expressed as a separate entity. 4. Arthur Goren, “Between ‘Priest and Prophet,’” in Like All the Nations? The Life and Legacy of Judah L. Magnes, 57. 5. David Myers suggests that Magnes’s life reveals that the dichotomies between Judaism and Humanism, Diaspora and Zion, East and West are fluid. See David Myers, “The Search for the ‘Harmonious Jew’: Judah L. Magnes between East and West” (John S. Sills Lecture, Judah L. Magnes Museum, Berkeley, Calif., July 5, 1992), 22. 6.

Moses Rischin, “Introduction: Like All the Nations?” in Like All the Nations? The Life and Legacy of Judah L. Magnes, 13. There is biographical material available, but it is incomplete and disparate. Norman Bentwich’s For Zion’s Sake: A Biography of Judah L.

The selective collection of documents compiled by Arthur...
