Poalei Zion in Yedinitz

Moshe Magen-Shitz

In sources on the history of Poalei Zion in Russia, i.e. chronological lists in various Jewish encyclopedias (some of which were written by Ber Borochov), there is mention of cities and town in Bessarabia where groups and supporters of the movement operated. Among them were Kishinev, Talnesht, Soroki, Bender and others, but not Yedinitz. In those days in the beginning of the 20^th century, individual Zionists or groups undefined by party were active. Only after the First World War and the Romanian conquest distinctions among Zionists emerge.
