Klal Yisrael
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Klal Yisrael (Hebrew: כלל ישראל, lit. "All of Israel") is an expression developed since the 1880s among Orthodox Jews of the Hibbat Zion movement to describe and promote a sense of shared community and destiny among all Jews, in Palestine, in the diaspora, and later in Israel and the USA.[1] It was defined and used differently by other movements, streams, and ethnic backgrounds, as well as by those religious, non-religious, Zionist and non-Zionist. Differences over specific definitions of klal Israel have determined the limits of tolerance and cooperation, since that time, and issues that emerged then are still of consequence today.[2]
