The newspaper Cel (Objective), issued by the Jewish State party in Poland, was published during the years 1934-1937. This volume comprises the first 17 issues of the newspaper, from the years 1934-1935: four issues from the first year, November-December 1934 (issues 1-4); and thirteen issues from the second year, January-July 1935 (issues 5-17).
In 1933, following Ze'ev Jabotinsky's demand to leave the World Zionist Organization, a split occurred in the World Revisionist Movement. Those opposed to the secession, headed by Meir Grossman, split from the Union of Revisionist Zionists (Hatzohar) headed by Jabotinsky and established the Jewish State Party. The party established a vast network of branches throughout Europe, founded a youth movement named Brit HaKana'im and published newspapers in various languages, including this one. In 1946, it rejoined the Revisionist Zionists.
