Jewish immigration

Jewish immigration refers to the movement of Jewish people from various countries to seek refuge, freedom, or better opportunities elsewhere. Historically, waves of Jewish migration occurred due to persecution, economic hardship, or political upheaval, especially in Europe. Significant migrations include those to the United States, Israel, and other countries in the 19th and 20th centuries. In Israel, mass immigration increased after its founding in 1948, transforming the new state with diverse Jewish cultures. These migrations have shaped Jewish communities worldwide, impacting cultural identity, demographics, and the development of national policies related to immigration and refugee support.
