| Summary/Abstract |
During the Mandate era a custom of re-interment of Jewish thinkers and leaders developed. These were mostly Zionists leaders and ideologists who passed away in the Diaspora and their remains were brought to be buried in Palestine. The article deals with the conflict between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem on the right to re-inter within their boundaries Zionist leaders such as Theodor Herzl, Max Nordau, Leo Motzkin and Yehuda Leib Pinsker. Although this phenomenon was universal, the Zionist case was unique and exceptional as most of the political Zionist activity took place outside of Palestine, mostly in Europe.
