Like many of his generation, he grew up in an accultured German Jewish home. His birth house on Krausnick Street was just around the corner from the grand New Synagogue, which would open its portals two and a half years after his birth. Oppenheimer’s father, Julius, was a reform rabbi serving in the Johannis Street Synagogue, Berlin’s first reform temple. Hence, the logical starting point for an inquiry into Oppenheimer’s Jewishness would be his upbringing in reform Judaism and its ingrained social message. In his autobiography Oppenheimer framed his major career turning points in the ethical core of his upbringing,which included scorn for “Mammonism” widespread among educated Jewish middle class families like Oppenheimer’s.2 This was a guiding principle both in his initial decision to pursue a career in medicine following in the footpaths of his maternal grandfather, and in his later transition to academic sociology and social reform.3 Accordingly, biographers commonly explained Oppenheimer’s Jewish identity by reference to tikkun olam, which literally means “to repair the world,” and is a central precept of Liberal Judaism calling for positive action to improve the lot of the socially deprived.4 Following Oppenheimer’s self-proclamations would not be necessarily wrong, but it could be misleading in reference to the centrality reform Judaism played for him. As will be seen in the discussion of Oppenheimer’s Zionist inclinations, he was certainly influenced by the universal message of the prophets of Israel, an important staple of reform Judaism. Yet all too often Oppenheimer downplayed the influence of Judaism on his thinking, as in this example:","PeriodicalId":446385,"journal":{"name":"Zionism and Cosmopolitanism","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125055520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These discursive interventions aimed to promote involvement in colonial enterprises among Jews and make Zionist colonization palatable for non-Jews by integrating it into a broader German colonial movement. This chapter deals with other forms of discursive interventions meant to purge antisemitism, though not necessarily racism, out of the racial and colonial discourses. The aim was to strengthen liberal conceptions of imperialism and increase acceptance and social prestige for German Jewry. To this end, Altneuland fostered strong ties to liberal imperialists who demanded a careful approach to indigenous populations and connected colonial expansions with social and political reform of the motherland.2 These ties outlived the First World War, resulting in the establishment of Pro-Palästina – Deutsches Komitee zur Förderung der jüdischen Palästinasiedlung [Pro-Palestine – German Committee for Promoting Jewish Settlement in Palestine] founded in 1918 to lobby for Zionism. Essays by Altneuland contributors such as Otto Eberhard, Max Blanckenhorn and Davis Trietsch were predominant in the publications of the short-lived Pro-PalästinaKomitee.3 The utter dissonance between colonial fantasies and colonial reality cannot be emphasized enough.While Altneuland was being published, German colonial","PeriodicalId":446385,"journal":{"name":"Zionism and Cosmopolitanism","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131766248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
