Abba Hillel Silver (January 28, 1893 – November 28, 1963) was an American Rabbi and Zionist leader. He was a key figure in the mobilization of American support for the founding of the State of Israel.
He saw such a settlement as a means to protect Jewish heritage, rather than having it serve as a main point of purpose for Jews.[1]
