Rabbi Yitzchak Ya'akov Reines (1840-1915), rabbi and Av Beit Din of Lida, was a great Torah scholar in Lithuania. Unlike many of the rabbis of his time, he was greatly impressed by Theodor Herzl's idea of a "State" and publicly supported it. In 1902 he founded 'Ha'Mizrcahi' Movement and served as its first president. Among others, he wrote the books 'Edut Be'Ya'akov' and 'Or Chadash al Zion'.
