Max Isidor Bodenheimer (Hebrew: מקס בודנהיימר; 12 March 1865 – 19 July 1940) was a lawyer and one of the main figures in German Zionism. An associate of Theodor Herzl, he was the first president of the Zionist Federation of Germany and one of the founders of the Jewish National Fund.[1] After his flight in 1933 from Nazi Germany, and a short sojourn in Holland, he settled in Palestine in 1935.
