Abstract:
In January 1882, the Romanian town of Focşani hosted a Zionist congress, attended by 56 delegates from 29 Romanian towns and presided over by Mosheh Halevy Goldring. Its attendees proposed that Jews return to the Land of Israel where they would reconstruct the land through farming. As a result of the congress, in August 1882 the ship Thetis left Romania for Palestine, with 228 emigrants. They built the first moshavim, Rosh Pinah and Zikhron Ya‘akov.
