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. 410 0$aStanford studies in Jewish history and culture. 606 $aImmigrants$zPalestine$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJews, East European$xMigrations$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJews, East European$zPalestine$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aPalestine$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aImmigrants$xHistory 615 0$aJews, East European$xMigrations$xHistory 615 0$aJews, East European$xHistory 676 $a304.8/5694047089924 700 $aAlroey$b Gur$0940491 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464842403321 996 $aAn unpromising land$92457802 997 $aUNINA 999 $p$43.75$u12/26/2019$5Poli
