Max Bodenheimer, 1865-1940

An early leader of German Zionism, Bodenheimer helped establish a Jewish bank in Ottoman Palestine and the Jewish National Fund, for which he was the first chairman. Bodenheimer corresponded with Theodor Herzl, attended the first and many subsequent Zionist Congresses, and served on the Zionist General Council from 1897 to 1921. He joined the Revisionists in 1929 and made aliyah in 1935.
