To remain true to the voice of each of the stories, we have included all pronunciations. A glossary appears at the end of the book for further clarifi cation. In the course of reading this book, you may feel like you are learning a whole new language. Th at’s because you are. In Israel, people who speak English (or any other language) as their mother tongue quickly adopt a certain lexicon of words that are always said in Hebrew (or Yiddish) even if they are speaking in their native tongue. Th is book contains words of Torah. Please do not read this book in the bathroom, rest it on the fl oor, or dispose of any part of it. FOREWORD Th e Happiest Place on Earth The happiest place on earth isn’t Disneyland, though I would defi nite- ly put Disneyland in the top fi ve. No, I’m convinced that the happiest place on earth is the arrivals’ hall of Terminal 3 at Ben Gurion Air- port. Everyone is happy. Whether they’re waiting in nervous but happy anticipation for their loved ones to land, coming for a visit, home aft er a visit, or home aft er a lifetime, everyone is in various stages of euphoria to have landed on Israeli soil. Th e festivity is enhanced by the myriad balloons on the ceiling. I had wondered how they had gotten there until one time I came to meet my son with a balloon and, in my haste to hug him, I let it go and it fl oated up to join its friends. Th ere’s contained Israeli mayhem as people talk on their cell phones, dogs bark, and people squeal and rush to greet their friends and family. Th e airport workers intermittently try to shoo people back behind the barrier as people stream in from the dozens of fl ights from all over the world. But they do so half-heartedly, knowing it is a lost battle. Israelis are fi ercely loyal to their traveling relatives. And then there are the groups on pilgrimage or friends of Israel who, dressed in various 15 Songs of Ascent costumes, come in singing and dancing or beating drums. Th ere are the Birthright groups and the tourist groups. People don’t get disconcerted if you shout at them, “Hey, what fl ight were you on?” And everyone comes out smiling, beaming, grateful. It’s also a very user-friendly hall. For those of you who’ve never been here (what are you waiting for?), the arrivals’ hall is in a semi-circular shape with a decorative barrier so that you can see the arrivals and they can see you as soon as they come out of the doors, and you don’t get in people’s way if you happen to jump the barrier in your enthusiasm to greet someone. A huge board clearly displays the arrivals and when they’re supposed to arrive, and while you’re waiting you’re surrounded by food options. I’ve even seen someone bring brownies. Unlike in bigger city airports, you will invariably meet

  • Biography of Ralph Israel Charak
    Heritage Project: Biography of Ralph Israel Charak Sarah Charak, December 2010 1 I’ve always been fascinated by my Saba’s story. As a small child, I remember being told stories of his survival. I would sit on his lap, imagining my Saba as a hero; my Saba creeping through the forests; my Saba fooling the Nazis… As I grew up, my mental image of Saba changed. I was amazed less by his heroism and more by his intelligence and resourcefulness. When I started to interview Saba earlier this year, my understanding of his story changed again. Discovering the details – the dates and the names and the places, and the countless stories of lucky chances – forced me to think about the miracle that was his survival. I questioned, wondered, and tried to understand. How? WHY? * Childhood November 1926 – September 1939 My Saba was born on 18th November 1926, in a district town ‘Galicia… stretches from the outer edge called Sokal, in Galicia, in the part of town on the eastern of core Poland, north of the regional bank of the River Bug.

  • Patterns of Immigration and Absorption
    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.

  • Israel States of America
    UnitedIsrael States of America No. 413 JuneJuly 20072008 Israel In terms of area and population, Israel is quite a small coun- try. Its national territory roughly corresponds in size to that of the US state of New Jersey and, with about seven million inhab- itants, it is similarly densely populated. The amount of attention that the Middle East’s strongest economy has always attracted bears no relation to these somewhat unspectacular figures. Israel is constantly present in media and political discourse, primarily attributable to the often war-like conflict between Jews and Palestinians that has been smouldering for more than 60 years. With regard to the subject of migration, too, Israel is unusu- al in one very important way: the state is virtually built on immi- gration. Apart from brief interruptions, Jews have immigrated continuously into the originally Ottoman and later British-ad- ministered Palestine since 1882.

Grazie in particolare al mio relatore, Dario Miccoli, che, oltre ad essere un amico, mi ha accompagnata per la seconda metà di questo tortuoso percorso con infinita pazienza e senso dell’umorismo.

Items have come from the USA, Israel and Uk – keep up the flow. I already have pieces for the next edition! As a result of contact with the Holocaust Museum in Washington, I have sent the last Newsletter there. A new item is Help for Dissertations, as quite frequently requests are coming in to AJR and then passed to me. Please help if you can. No Newsletter would ever appear without the terrific work of Andrea. Thanks Andrea. I wish you and your families Shanah Tovah and Chag Sameach . Hi Fellow Kinder I hope you are managing to enjoy our rather damp summer and of course revelling in the successes at the Olympics. Just to give you advanced warning we are planning to celebrate the 75 th anniversary of the decision by parliament to let us in to this country, on Sunday 23 June at J.F.S. It seems to us better that we have the celebration in Summer rather on the actual date in November. Hopefully the weather will be more amenable at that time of the year.
