Jewish Immigrant Populations in Israel

This curriculum guide explores three Jewish immigrant communities in Israel: Ethiopian, Former Soviet Union, and North American.  Students will examine these populations through 3 lenses: historic narratives, culture, and Jewish practice.  They will consider the advantages and disadvantages that accompany immigration while discovering the strength of the message that “Kol Yisrael areivim zeh la’zeh: All people of Israel are responsible for one another."  Students will gain insights into their own Jewish identities, history, practices, and modes of Jewish self-expression.
