Summary/Abstract: Nathan Birnbaum was a remarkable figure in the Jewish political life of the Austro–Hungarian Monarchy and beyond. He played a very import-ant role in all the major Eastern European Jewish political movements. He was acknowledged not only as one of the founders of the Zionism but also as a major figure of the Jewish politics and thought.His life had three main phases, representing a progression in his think-ing: a Zionist phase (1882 – 1899); a Jewish cultural autonomy phase (1900 – 1914) which included the organization of the first Yiddish langua-ge conference in Czernowitz; and last period of his life (1915–1937) when he turned to Orthodox Judaism.
