Asher Zvi Hirsch Ginsberg (18 August 1856 – 2 January 1927), primarily known by his Hebrew name and pen name Ahad Ha'am (Hebrew: אחד העם, lit. 'one of the people', Genesis 26:10), was a Hebrew journalist and essayist, and one of the foremost pre-state Zionist thinkers.
Ahad Ha'am ou Asher Hirsch Ginsberg (né le 18 août 1856 à Skvyra et mort le 2 janvier 1927 à Tel Aviv-Jaffa) est un penseur nationaliste juif et leader des Amants de Sion. Il est l'un des pères de la littérature hébraïque moderne.
Aḥad Haʿam (born Aug. 18, 1856, Skvira, near Kiev, Russian Empire [now in Ukraine]—died Jan. 2, 1927, Tel Aviv, Palestine [now in Israel]) was a Zionist leader whose concepts of Hebrew culture had a definitive influence on the objectives of the early Jewish settlement in Palestine.
Ahad Ha’am believed that the creation in Eretz-Israel of a Jewish cultural center would act to reinforce Jewish life in the Diaspora. His hope was that in this center a new Jewish national identity based on Jewish ethics and values might resolve the crisis of Judaism.
Ahad Haam (pseudonyme d'A. Ginsberg, 1856-1927) s'attachera surtout à définir le contenu d'un sionisme culturel. Il écrira et publiera en 1889 Lo zo haderekh (Ce n'est pas la bonne direction), pamphlet qui le rendit justement célèbre.
Ahad Ha’am was convinced that “long ago, in the days of the Prophets, we Jews learned to despise physical force and to respect only spiritual power.” In it he saw the justification for the efforts to assure the survival and reflowering of Judaism.
Ahad Ha-Am was indisputably the outstanding intellectual and also the prime critic of Ḥoveve Tsiyon. When Theodor Herzl captured center stage in the Zionist movement in 1896, Ahad Ha-Am was responsible for much of the dissent directed at Herzl.
