Nahum Socoloff was a Zionist leader, author, translator, and a pioneer of Hebrew journalism. He was born in 1859 in Poland where he had a religious education and almost started to study to become a rabbi until his father was persuaded by Governor Baron Wrangel to enroll him in a secular school. After moving to Warsaw he became a journalist and later co-owner of the Hebrew newspaper HaTzfira. In 1906, Sokolow became the secretary general of the World Zionist Congress which made him travel throughout Europe and North America. In 1914 after the outbreak of World War One he moved to London to work with Haim Weitzmann who later became the first president of the State of Israel in 1948, later promoting the Zionist cause especially after the Balfour Declaration of 1917 in which the British government declared its support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine. In 1931, Sokolow was elected President of the World Zionist Congress and served until 1935, when he was succeeded by Chaim Weizmann. Sokolow also served as President of the Jewish Agency for Palestine (now called the Jewish Agency for Israel) between 1931 and 1933. He died in London in 1936.
