Written just after the first Zionist Congress in 1896, the author, adopting Theodore Herzl's vision of a Jewish state, ends the novel with a mass immigration of Jews to the Land of Israel. Each version was copied by a different hand. It seems that the version in LC Hebr. Ms 77B is the final version and there are numerous corrections in different hands.
