About Basel

Basel, a city on the Rhine in northwestern Switzerland, has a Jewish community of long standing and a central place in modern Jewish history as the site of the First Zionist Congress, convened by Theodor Herzl in 1897, which founded the World Zionist Organization and adopted the Basel Program. Several later Zionist congresses were also held there.
