The early twentieth century was the \u201cgolden age\u201d of postcards, and among Jews, the Rosh Hashanah greeting card was easily the star of this particular show. With the rise of electronic communications, the custom has naturally faded, and today it is likely that most of the New Year greetings we receive arrive via other mediums: text message, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Tiktok, email, the list goes on. But we wanted to look back for a moment, to those distant days when sending a Rosh Hashanah greeting required more than just a click.<\/p>\n<p>The holiday postcards usually carried Jewish-related motifs, such as traditional and ideological symbols, or illustrations of major Jewish current events. With the formation and rise of the Zionist movement, Rosh Hashanah greeting cards became platforms for conveying ideological and Zionist messages related to prominent public events.<\/p>\n<p>This Jewish New Year greeting shows what the opening of the Second Zionist Congress in the city of Basel looked like in the last week of August 1898. Encouraged by the first Congress that had convened there the year before, hopeful representatives of Jewish communities from all over the world gathered together again to plan the future of Zionism. In the center of the photo we can see Theodor Herzl addressing the crowd.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1-FL19309721_\u05d4\u05e7\u05d5\u05e0\u05d2\u05e8\u05e1-\u05d4\u05e6\u05d9\u05d5\u05e0\u05d9-\u05d4\u05e9\u05e0\u05d9-\u05d1\u05d1\u05d6\u05dc-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32460\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1-FL19309721_\u05d4\u05e7\u05d5\u05e0\u05d2\u05e8\u05e1-\u05d4\u05e6\u05d9\u05d5\u05e0\u05d9-\u05d4\u05e9\u05e0\u05d9-\u05d1\u05d1\u05d6\u05dc-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1-FL19309721_\u05d4\u05e7\u05d5\u05e0\u05d2\u05e8\u05e1-\u05d4\u05e6\u05d9\u05d5\u05e0\u05d9-\u05d4\u05e9\u05e0\u05d9-\u05d1\u05d1\u05d6\u05dc-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1-FL19309721_\u05d4\u05e7\u05d5\u05e0\u05d2\u05e8\u05e1-\u05d4\u05e6\u05d9\u05d5\u05e0\u05d9-\u05d4\u05e9\u05e0\u05d9-\u05d1\u05d1\u05d6\u05dc-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1-FL19309721_\u05d4\u05e7\u05d5\u05e0\u05d2\u05e8\u05e1-\u05d4\u05e6\u05d9\u05d5\u05e0\u05d9-\u05d4\u05e9\u05e0\u05d9-\u05d1\u05d1\u05d6\u05dc-1-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the spring of 1901 a meeting between Herzl and the Turkish Sultan Abdul Hamid stirred hopes in the Jewish world.
