Hebrew labor

"Hebrew labor" (Hebrew: עבודה עברית; Avoda Ivrit) and "the conquest of labor" (Hebrew: כיבוש העבודה; Kibush haAvoda) are two related terms and concepts. The first refers to the ideal adopted by some Jews in Ottoman and Mandate Palestine during the late 19th and early 20th centuries and later embraced by Zionism to favour hiring Jewish rather than non-Jewish workers. The second is the slogan for the Jews to embrace productive (industrial and agricultural) labor rather than being engaged only in trades and professions.
