Abstract

The paper addresses Jewish migration from Argentina to Israel in the post-pandemic period. Results of a virtual survey conducted among people who made aliyah during 2022 are analyzed. According to data of the Jewish Agency for Israel, as of 2020, at the same time as the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, the number of olim from Argentina increased considerably, doubling in 2021 and 2022 the previous numbers from 2019. Data analyzed here belongs to a larger ongoing research project that aims to understand the profiles of people who have made aliyah during the post-pandemic period. Three central dimensions are presented on the one hand, for the total number of people surveyed, and on the other hand, making a comparison between people who migrated alone or with their families. These three aspects account for: (a) sociodemographic characteristics, including place of origin, age, highest level of education, migration modality (single or with family); (b) links with Jewishness, taking into account participation in Jewish community organizations and Jewish educational spaces, identifications around Jewishness, and knowledge of the Hebrew language; (c) links with Israel, based on previous trips, having relatives and/or close friends, as well as the modalities by which they are informed about Israeli daily life. From an interdisciplinary approach in the field of social sciences and Jewish studies, this work seeks to contribute to the knowledge of the recent transformations of Jewish communities globally.
