1919

October
The well-known Zionist leader Menahem Ussishkin makes aliyah and is appointed to head the Zionist Commission, the most senior Zionist representation in Palestine.

Joseph Trumpeldor, a member of the Second Aliyah, who previously left the country, makes aliyah a second time. He has come to prepare the ground for the aliyah of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of members of the HeHalutz (The Pioneer) movement in Russia.
