Female religious mediation in wartime labour migration: Ukrainian Greek Catholic women in Israel
In wartime, Ukrainian migrant women in Israel sustain religious meaning, community, and national belonging through religious practices enacted outside formal clerical authority. Drawing on an ongoing ethnographic research project that includes in-depth interviews, sustained participant observation in a Ukrainian Greek Catholic parish in Jaffa, and digital ethnography of Facebook, this article develops the concept of female religious mediation to …
Post-Liturgical Women’s Rituals Among Western Ukrainian Female Labor Migrants in Israel
This article develops the analytical concept of post-liturgical female rituality to examine informal religious practices created by Western Ukrainian female labor migrants in Israel. Drawing on approaches that conceptualize ritual as flexible, embodied, and processual, it focuses on women’s ritual activities that take place in close temporal and symbolic proximity to official church liturgy while remaining outside canonical frameworks. Rather tha…
National Identity in Times of War: Temporary Labor Migrant Women from Western Ukraine in Israel
Domicide and Homemaking in Times of War: Ukrainian Female Labor Migrants in Israel
This article examines domicide and homemaking among Ukrainian temporary labor migrants in Israel, shaped by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war. Living between two wars compels these women to navigate both the destruction and the creation of home, producing fragile and layered attachments across borders. Based on 26 in-depth interviews and participant observation, the study analyzes four interconnected domains of homemaking and …
“Girls Blended in, While Boys Had to Fight: ” Gendered Integration Scripts Among (Ex)Soviet Immigrant Adolescents in Israel’s Geo-Social Periphery
International research on the integration of immigrant youth often overlooks significant gender differentials in how boys and girls experience prejudice and social exclusion in the host societies. This article draws upon biographical interviews with members of the ex-Soviet immigrant Generation 1.5 who grew up in disadvantaged Israeli neighborhoods rife with intergroup violence. Interviewees shared their memories of school years spent among other…
Food as a source of ethnic pride: Online food narratives, nostalgia and hybridity among former Soviet immigrants in Israel
Moral Remittances at War: The Impact of the Full‐Scale Russian Invasion on Money Transfers by Ukrainian Female Labour Migrants in Israel
This study examines the remittance practices of Ukrainian female Prewar labour migrants in Israel and their evolving roles as economic providers and transnational actors amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. Based on 26 in‐depth interviews and participant observations conducted at a Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC) in Jaffa, the study employs an interpretative analysis to explore the intersections of gender, migration, and conflict. The central …
Dignity at Work: Employer Relations and the Experiences of Ukrainian Pre‐War Female Migrant Workers in Israel
This article examines the experiences of Ukrainian pre‐war female migrant workers in Israel's eldercare and cleaning sectors, focusing on how employer relations and workplace conditions shape their dignity. Drawing on in‐depth interviews with 26 Ukrainian migrant women, the study explores the structural constraints and power dynamics that influence their lived experiences. The analysis identifies three key themes shaping migrant women's dignity: …
I always knew I could only rely on myself: Gendered dimensions of Ukrainian women's labor migration to Israel
Rituals of nonbelonging and their emotional toll: Encounters with the orthodox Jewish weddings and burials among generation 1.5 former Soviet Union immigrants in Israel
This article examines the encounters of Generation 1.5 Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union (FSU) with the Orthodox establishment within the framework of weddings and burials in Israel. These Orthodox Jewish weddings and burials are referred to here as rituals of nonbelonging and provide a lens for understanding the role of rituals in the marginalisation and exclusion of immigrants and ethnic minorities from religious and national colle…

Contextualising the Russian to Hebrew language shift in three generations of Russian Israelis
The research on language dynamics in the context of migration and integration has been dominated by applied linguists and educators, who described and measured native language attrition and emerging bilingualism among immigrants and their children. In parallel, sociolinguists discussed the role of language ideology/policy of the host society and family language milieu. Adopting a macro sociolinguistic view, the current article explores the social…
Orientalization, or sidewards assimilation of second-generation Russian-speaking migrants in Israel's urban periphery
This article explores the assimilation of second-generation migrants from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) who grew up in Israel’s social and geographic urban periphery. Their upbringing in peripheral towns and neighborhoods exposed them almost exclusively to Mizrahim (Oriental Jews), a stigmatized minority group whose members make up the overwhelming majority in those locations. We argue that their interaction with members of this group resulted in…
"Living in limbo": Digital narratives of migrants fleeing Russia after the Russian invasion of Ukraine
Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine more than one million Russian citizens have left Russia. This Russian migration is a political protest against Vladimir Putin’s regime — people are leaving due to their opposition to the war, persecution by authorities, and fear of mobilization — and are writing about this migration online. Despite fulfilling the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (1951 Refugee Convention or the Ge…
Critical citizenship and civic participation in three generations of Russian Israelis
Civic behaviour of immigrants reflects both their pre-migration political socialization and the exposure to new political realities in the host country. Jewish immigrants to Israel receive citizenship soon upon arrival and are endowed with all political and economic rights in their adopted country. This essay highlights the long-term dynamics of civic attitudes and participation in three consecutive generations of ex-Soviet Israelis: from adult m…
Hosts, not guests, in Israel”: Younger generations of Russian Israelis on the path to active citizenship
Jewish immigrants to Israel (olim) receive citizenship soon upon arrival and are endowed with all political and economic rights in their adopted country. Civic attitudes and behaviour of olim reflect both their pre-migration political socialization and their exposure to Israeli realities. This article highlights the dynamics of citizenship and civic participation in the younger cohorts of ex-Soviet Israelis (generations 1.5 and 2.0) vs. their par…
Connecting Ethnicity and Space: The New Russian-Mediterranean Pop Culture in Israel’s Periphery
Ethnic trauma in migration: FSU-born Israeli women’s narratives in an online support group
This article lays ground for the concept of ethnic trauma for understanding the crisis of migration and its aftermath. The analysis is based on autobiographical stories recently published by the online community of the women who immigrated to Israel from the USSR/FSU as children or adolescents (Generation 1.5) in the early 1990s. Despite its self-selected nature, this story-telling project captures many generic features of the Russian-Israeli (an…
Immigrants' ethnic provocation in the art created by the Russian-Israeli Generation 1.5
This article explores the political relevance of popular artistic productions by immigrants and the links between art and identity politics in the context of Israel. I propose the term ethnic provocation as an analytical tool for understanding the role of immigrant artists’ critical stance in their new society, and the anti-hegemonic spirit they advance. I examine the work of immigrant artists, members of the Russian-Israeli Generation 1.5, who c…
On generation citizenship: The new Russian protest among young immigrant adults in Israel
This article describes an emerging social protest movement among Generation 1.5 of Russian speakers who immigrated as older children or adolescents and came of age in Israel. It examines the generation, gender, and class aspects of the new social and cultural activism among Russian Israelis, while drawing on the concept of generation citizenship. Contrary to the civic conformism of their parent’s generation, the new Generation 1.5 leaders have de…
Homeland holidays as anchors of immigrant identity: New Year (Novy God) celebration among young Russian Israelis
The article presents the emerging forms of ethno-cultural activism among the so-called Generation 1.5 of Russian-speakers, who immigrated as older children or adolescents and came of age in Israel. It describes and interprets two episodes of the New Year’s Eve (Novy God) celebrations organized by these 1.5ers in Israel in 2015 and 2016 through the constructionist lens applied to ethnic identity in migration. The article explores the process of re…
Ethnic fusion in migration: The new Russian–Mizrahi pop-culture hybrids in Israel
A fascinating new phenomenon aimed at redrawing the boundaries of two different (and conflicted) ethnic groups – Russian and Mizrahi (North African and Middle Eastern) Israeli Jews – is increasingly visible in recent years. Young, Russian-speaking, ethnic entrepreneurs have invented the hybrid cultural trope of ‘Mizrahi or Mediterranean Russianness’ expressed in various popular culture venues: video-clips, festivals, public events, and music and …

Generation 1.5 of Russian Israelis: Integrated but distinct
Over the last 5 years, we conducted several ethnographic studies on the social, cultural, and political locations of the young Israeli adults who belong to Generation 1.5 of the ex-Soviet immigrant wave of the 1990s (those who moved to Israel as older children or adolescents). These studies showed that despite successful instrumental integration in the local middle classes in terms of educational and occupational mobility, these 1.5ers keep disti…

Subversive identity and cultural production by the Russian-Israeli Generation 1.5
This article belongs to the series presenting our ongoing ethnographic project on the Russian-Israeli Generation 1.5 . It discusses the nexus between immigrant identity, civic activism and cultural production among young adults born in the (former) Soviet Union, who migrated to Israel as older children or adolescents. We examine the new, protest-driven activism among young Russian Israelis while drawing on the concepts of reactive ethnicity and c…
Russian Israelis and Religion: What Has Changed after Twenty Years in Israel
Most former Soviet immigrants who arrived in Israel had a secular or atheistic outlook, with only a small minority leaning toward Orthodox Judaism or Christianity. To understand how 20 years of life in the ethno-religious polity of Israel have influenced their religious beliefs and practices, we conducted a survey of a national sample of post-1990 immigrants. The findings suggest that most immigrants have adopted the signs and symbols of the Jewi…

Celebrating Memory and Belonging: Young Russian Israelis Claim Their Unique Place in Tel-Aviv's Urban Space
Drawing on the theoretical concept of collective memory and migration, and politics of belonging, this article explores performative belonging enacted in the series of holidays and commemorative rites organized by young Russian immigrants in Israel's major metropolis. Our ethnography is based on 18 months of participant observation at the cultural association Fishka in South Tel-Aviv. As part of our field work, we documented public celebrations o…
Weddings in the Town Square: Young Russian Israelis Protest the Religious Control of Marriage in Tel–Aviv
The article discusses alternative wedding ceremonies staged in urban spaces as a statement of protest among immigrant couples that cannot marry in rabbinical courts, because they are not recognized as Jews. These public weddings are organized and sponsored by the Fishka association of young Israeli adults of Russian origin. Our field–work at Fishka included participant observation of its various events during 2013–2014, as well as in–depth interv…
Cultural Capital in Migration: FishkaAssociation of Young Russian-Speaking Adults in Tel-Aviv, Israel

This article examines the activities of Fishka, an association of young Russian Israelis living in Tel-Aviv and vicinity, who immigrated to Israel from the former Soviet Union as older children or adolescents. Our empirical analysis draws upon the concepts of social and cultural capital in immigration and explores h…
