resistance path that connects to the earth. This prevents the buildup of voltages that could cause an electrical accident. Grounding is normally a secondary protective measure to protect against electric shock. It will substantially reduce the risk of injury or death in case of shock, especially when used in combination with other electrical safety measures. An equipment ground helps protect the equipment operator. It furnishes a second path for the current to pass through from the tool or machine to the ground. This additional ground safeguards the operator if a malfunction causes the toolâs metal frame to become energized. The resulting flow of current may activate the circuit protection devices.
Zionism is the Jewish national movement. Zionism derives its name from Zion, (pronounced Tzyion in Hebrew) a hill in Jerusalem. The word means marker or commemoration. Shivath Tzion is one of the traditional terms for the return of Jewish exiles.
The primary goals of Zionism until 1948, were the re-establishment of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel ( Eretz Israel  in Hebrew), ingathering of the exiles, and liberation of Jews from the antisemitic discrimination and persecution that occurred in their diaspora.
