 * Cultural Zionism and Binationalism Among American Liberal Protestants is a journal article that was published in 2018, in volume 23 of the Israeli Studies Journal. The article discusses how Cultural Zionism is an alternative to Political Zionism, and how Americans, specifically American Christians viewed the movement throughout its history. This article would help to answer the knowledge gap of the American perspective that is currently not present in the Wikipedia article. The article also references how Ahad Ha’am and Judah Magnes, an American Rabbi, had crucial roles in the intellectual tradition of cultural Zionism that ultimately influenced liberal Protestants in the early 20th century. Magnes's influence highlighted the tension between cultural and political Zionism, which would be interesting context to incorporate into the Wikipedia page.

 * Ahad Ha'am's Cultural Zionism as a Global Phenomenon is an article that gives an overview of the Cultural Zionism movement. The article focuses on Ahad Ha'am, the founder of the movement, and provides helpful context about his background and how it relates to the movement as a whole. The article would help to provide a more detailed history of the Cultural Zionism movement that is currently not present in the Wikipedia article and potentially has enough information so we could write a small section on Ahad Ha'am.

 * This book gives a historical account of Theodor Herzl's life and founding of political zionism. It highlights differences in the ideologies surrounding cultural vs political zionism. We plan to use this in order to more accurately distinguish cultural zionism from other forms. We also plan to use it to compare the founders of the two ideologies and the motivations behind their ideas. We think this may have a content gap in that is focuses pretty heavily on political zionism since its about Herzl so the discussion of other forms of zionism may be a little light.

 * This journal article provides a synthesized view of Ahad Ha’am ideas on cultural zionism. As a result this article gives important historical context to the formation of cultural zionism. Using this will provide the reader will better background knowledge about the historical events that led people like Ahad Ha’am to feel the need for cultural zionism to exist. We think this article may have some gaps surrounding the effects of cultural zionism on non-jewish people.

 * Cultural Zionism’s Image of the Educated Jew is a journal article examining cultural Zionism in Israel in regards to traditional Judaism. This information will deepen the reader's understanding of zionism’s founding principles and its application amidst a modern wave of enlightenment. In analyzing Judaism’s transformation into a national culture, this will demonstrate to the readers the contrasting perspectives from cultural zionists and beliefs of the global Jewish community.


 * This examines Ahad Ha'am’s mention of the Palestinians in Truth from Eretz Yisrael. Ha’am’s criticism of Zionism was so controversial partly because he proposed an equal status for both Jews and Arabs, viewing the ethnic-tensions between the two as an inevitable conflict. There is little emphasis on Ha'am's vision for regional peace, so this can emphasize the diverging visions of cultural zionism and a Jewish state, in addition to the the geopolitical landscape of the region and the question of the Palestinian people.

This article explains how Zionism has progressed through many movements and how cultural Zionism has been indicative of a new lifestyle of Jews. The article highlights how the desire for Israel has shaped cultural Zionism. Opposed to the original Wikipedia article, this passage gives plenty of insight into how cultural Zionism formed out of a desire for the union of Jews through shared heritage.
