From “aliyah” to onward moves
This article examines Argentine Jewish migration, a substantial share of Latin American movement to Israel. Rather than rehearse linear, nation-centred push–pull models that structure national narratives of aliyah, we adopt a circular, networked perspective that situates Israel as one node within wider migratory circuits. Reading Zionist state archives – documents originally crafted to promote a one-way journey – against the grain, we show that m…
Returns and beyond
In recent years, migration to and from Israel has returned to the centre of public debate, once again becoming a buzzword in a moment of crisis. The war that followed October 7, together with a broader climate of social and political uncertainty, has made exit newly salient in Israeli public life, much as it did in earlier periods of upheaval. Jewish immigration, deemed Aliyah, has always been constitutive of Zionist and Israeli history. Early mi…
There’s No Home Like Place
In the final third of the twentieth century the interpersonal ties between Moroccan Jewish migrants and their homeland significantly diminished due to migration patterns that effectively ended Jewish community life in Morocco. This shift led to the creation of Moroccan Jewish diaspora organizations, which fostered new community networks that became “melting pots” for the reconstructed memories of Morocco among migrants in their new places of resi…

Far East" Legacies and the Normalization of "Non-Ashkenazi" Histories in Israel
How is a Sephardi-Mizrahi protest in Israel interconnected with a Western fascination with "Far East" civilization? This essay introduces The Jewish Communities in the Far East (Hebrew; Jerusalem, 1982), jointly published by key Zionist Sephardi organizations. Authored by Reuben Kashani, an Afghan-born intellectual who made significant contributions to various Sephardi-Mizrahi periodicals in Israel, alongside his broader Jewish readership, the bo…
Expanding the dimensions of Moroccan (Jewish) migration
Analyses of the migrations from Morocco in the second half of the twentieth century tend to view them as part of a larger pattern of South-to-North postcolonial circular migration, while Jewish Moroccan migration is deemed an exceptional national phenomenon, unrelated to the study of these global developments. Yet, Jewish migration from northern Morocco to Venezuela was characterised and influenced by a number of sub-regional, ethno-religious, li…
Selkea! Memories of Eating Non-Kosher Food among the Spanish-Moroccan Jewish Diaspora in Israel
Drawing on life-story interviews and ethnography conducted in Israel from 2009 to 2023, this article examines how members of the Spanish-speaking Moroccan-Jewish diaspora in Israel recalled their habits of eating non-kosher food in Morocco. We explore how these memories emerged in response to commonplace discourses that depict Moroccan Jews as a distinctly religious-traditional ethnic group, untouched by European secular influences, and dichotomo…
Repositioning Ethnicity and Transnationalism
The methods that communities exploit to cope with national hegemonies that dispossess and exclude them have attracted the interest of migration scholars who emphasize the development of transnational strategies as community-building vehicles. Some scholars focus on migrant communities, whereas other studies analyze the “stayers”—those who remain in the countries of origin—in their analyses of the impacts of transnational trends on these groups. Y…
A transnational millet in the Jewish state
Between 1948 and 1956, 36,302 Jews migrated from Turkey to Israel, forming the largest Turkish diaspora hub at that time. Drawing on the nine newspapers published by Turkish Jews in Israel in their vernacular, Ladino (Judeo‐Spanish), this article sheds light on the complex nature of the migrants' transnational affinity to the Turkish Republic and on how it coexisted with their Jewish nationalism. In addition to situating this development within t…
"The Moroccan "Yizkor Book
The writing of "Yizkor books" (Yizker bikher, יזכור ביכער)-memorial books for European Jewish communities that were destroyed in the Holocaust-has developed and expanded as the remnants of these lost communities scattered around the globe in the post-war era. The motives for writing comparable books among non-European Jewish communities-which experienced different circumstances of dispersal but were still influenced by Holocaust memory-and the wa…
Remapping ‘tradition’
For Jews in colonial North Africa and beyond, modernization is often deemed a linear process of physical and cultural disengagement from traditional urban spaces. In contrast, this article portrays the process as dialectical and contextual mental transitions between the oppositional experiences of ‘modern-colonial’ and ‘traditional-communal’ spaces that mutually shape modern Jewish life across real and imagined townscapes. Focusing on one of the …
Beyond the Nation-State
The post-1948 mass migration of Jews from Arab Muslim countries to Israel is widely seen by scholars as a direct result of decolonization and rising nationalism across the Middle East and North Africa, coupled with the emigration and immigration policies of regional powers. In this article I draw on local histories of northern Morocco to critique the existing literature. I apply new methods to reconceptualize that migratory experience as shaped b…
The Ingathering of the Jewish (Moroccan) Diaspora
Homeland/diaspora dichotomies are emblematic of the Zionist philosophy and, as a consequence, also in the common critical annals of long-lasting diasporic ethnicities among Jewish immigrants to Israel. This observation applies in particular to Jewish immigrants from Islamic countries, whose Eastern pre-immigration cultures conceivably contrast with the Western character of the national-Zionist venture. In this article, I focus on MABAT, an Israel…
‘Inappropriate’ Voices from the Past
This study is based on the analysis of some rare audio recordings from the first organized group tour of olim (Jewish immigrants in Israel) from northern Morocco, to their former hometowns in Morocco. The tour was organized in 1987 by mabat , the principal émigré association of northern Moroccans in Israel during the 1980s. I compare this ‘free-style’-oral audio source with related printed-edited narratives, written by mabat before and after the …
