Leaving Palestine -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index The Jewish migration at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries was one of the dramatic events that changed the Jewish people in modern times. Millions of Jews sought to escape the distressful conditions of their lives in Eastern Europe and find a better future for themselves and their families overseas. The vast majority of the Jewish migrants went to the United States, and others, in smaller numbers, reached Argentina, Canada, Australia, and South Africa. From the beginning of the twentieth century until the First World War, about 35,000 Jews reached Palestine. Because of this difference in scale and because of the place the land of Israel possesses in Jewish thought, historians and social scientists have tended to apply different criteria to immigration, stressing the uniqueness of Jewish immigration to Palestine and the importance of the Zionist ideology as a central factor in that immigration. This book questions this assumption, and presents a more complex picture both of the causes of immigration to Palestine and of the mass of immigrants who reached the port of Jaffa in the years 1904–1914.Stanford studies in Jewish history and culture.ImmigrantsPalestineHistory20th centuryJews, East EuropeanMigrationsHistory20th centuryJews, East EuropeanPalestineHistory20th centuryPalestineEmigration and immigrationHistory20th centuryEurope, EasternEmigration and immigrationHistory20th centuryElectronic books.ImmigrantsHistoryJews, East EuropeanMigrationsHistoryJews, East EuropeanHistory304.8/5694047089924Alroey Gur940491MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464842403321An unpromising land2457802UNINA$43.7512/26/2019Poli
