"The State of New York," Noah sailed knowingly, "is the largest of the United States. It covers 40,000 square miles divided into 55 counties, containing 6,087 towns and cities, along with 80,000 square miles of agricultural land. The Constitution of the State is founded on equal rights. We do not discriminate against any religion for its followers... Here, in this great and progressive state, the long wanderings of my beloved people will come to an end." In the first half of the 19th century, a Jew named P'Loni observes the lives of his people, and sees that their condition is very bad. Just then, strange news arrives from the New World: a Jewish-American diplomat announces the establishment of a state of refuge for Jews on Grand Island, New York. Through the eyes of a certain man and in legendary language, British-Jewish author Israel Zangwill paints a colorful portrait of a real-life figure: Mordechai Manuel Noah, who envisioned himself as a judge over Israel in ancient times. Through his character, we are exposed to the true story of the unfounded Jewish state, which is read today not only as a story based on a chapter in Zionist history, but also as a parable that foreshadows the future of the Jewish people.
