    Patterns of Immigration and Absorption Aviva Zeltzer-Zubida Ph.D. [email protected] Director of Research, Evaluation and Measurement, Strategy and Planning Unit The Jewish Agency for Israel Hani Zubida Ph.D. [email protected] Department of Political Science The Max Stern Yezreel Valley College May 2012 1. Introduction Throughout the course of its modern history, Israel has been perceived as an immigration state. From the first days of the ―new Yishuv,‖ at the end of the nineteenth century, the development of the Jewish society in Palestine has been dependent on immigration, first from Eastern European countries, later from Central Europe and, immediately after the establishment of the state in 1948, from the Middle East. The centrality of immigration to the reality of Israel, to the nation, to the Israeli society, and to the Jews who came, can be appreciated from the Hebrew word coined to describe it, ―aliyah,‖ which means ascending, but this is much more than just verbal symbolism. Immigration to Israel, that is, aliyah, in effect implies rising above one‘s former status to assert one‘s Jewish citizenship and identity. Jewish ius sanguinis1 thus trumped all other issues of status and identity (Harper and Zubida, 2010). As such, there are never “immigrants” to Israel, but only Jews returning home, asserting their true identity and, as codified in Israel‘s right of return and citizenship laws, their legitimate claim to residence and citizenship. Thus, by this logic, Israel is not an immigration state, but is rather the homeland of the Jewish People. In this article we start with a survey of the major waves of immigration to Israel dating back to the pre-state era and review the characteristics of the various groups of immigrants based on earlier studies.

  • 2017 Report Century
    THE COMMUNITY REPORT 2016–2017 TO CENTURY We’ve lifted lives shared dreams and brought our community together. OUR FIRST Today, we’re more vibrant and inclusive than ever. OUR SECOND CENTURY FRIENDS, DEAR The launch of our second century was a historic opportunity to pursue the ideas, investments, and innovations that bring meaningful impact to the communities we serve. Since 1917, our forward-thinking mindset has been coupled with a readiness to continuously learn from our experience. That’s how we’ve arrived at a UJA that is more inclusive and agile than ever before, poised to advance our community in ways that our founders could never have imagined. What hasn’t changed over these past 100 years? The sense of responsibility for Jews and people in crisis, wherever they may be, and the conviction that when we come together, we can do so much more than when we stand apart. Those same values guided our response to multiple crises in late summer and fall 2017. After neo-Nazi groups marched in Charlottesville, a delegation of New Yorkers traveled to Virginia to offer emotional support to a deeply shaken Jewish community. In the wake of widespread devastation wrought by Hurricanes Harvey, Maria, and Irma, we sent experts and vital resources to Texas to aid recovery efforts and dispatched lifesaving supplies to Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. A Year of Strengthening Jewish Community Many will also remember this as a year of growing political divisiveness. As a much-needed antidote, we stood above the fray, offering safe spaces to talk with civility about difficult issues and generating opportunities to transcend difference and build kehilla — from Shabbat dinners to widely attended community conversations.
