Although he studied and qualified as a doctor of law at the University of Vienna, Herzl soon chose to leave the legal field and work as a journalist, writer and playwright. From an early age, Herzl connected with German fiction. During high school, Herzl sometimes became enthusiastic about humanities, literature, poetry, and German history. He read a lot and his two favorite poets were Heinrich Heine and Nicholas Lanau. In 1887 Herzl began to publish several filigrees himself. But the plays he staged were rejected several times by the theaters he approached, most notably the Burgtheater (Vienna City Theater). The increase in antisemitic phenomena that Herzl had witnessed caused him to stop engaging in theater and plays and focus on finding a political solution to the Jewish problem.

The New Ghetto (Das neue Ghetto) - a four-act play by Theodor Herzl - translated from German by Reuven Brainin. Published by "Ahiasaf" - first edition in Hebrew. Warsaw, 1898.

Herzl wrote the play under the influence of the Dreyfus trial, which he covered as a journalist, and he wrote it fastly in only 17 days! At the center of his plot is an assimilated Jewish lawyer who tries to get out of the social ghetto that was forced on Western Jews, but fails. At the end of the play, the lawyer is murdered by an antisemitic nobleman who has damaged his dignity. When he dies, the lawyer says in a weak voice: "Jews, my brothers, one day they will let you live - when you know how to die." In a thunderous voice and with his last strength he says: "Get out! Get out of the ghetto!". Samuel's death was intended to serve as a warning that the stay of the Jews in Europe was dangerous. In the play, Herzl first expressed his national view. The play has been staged over the years in more than 20 locations across Europe.
