Drawing on a phenomenological design and in-depth interviews with 11 educators in southern Tel Aviv, Israel, the analysis traces educators’ lived experiences as they contend with unfamiliar cultural norms, emotional exposure, and institut…
Transnational-Diasporic Social Integration of Israeli Migrants in the United States Over Time
This study examines transnational-diasporic social integration patterns among Israeli migrants in the United States by comparing short-term (several months to 3 years) and long-term (4 to 10 years) immigrant cohorts, particularly in response to the 2023 judicial reform crisis and October 7 attack. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, 71 semi-structured interviews were conducted in Hebrew with Israeli migrants (66% women, average age 43)…
From exclusion to inclusive multicultural education
Between social integration, incorporation and exclusion
This research focuses on various social integration patterns, as perceived by both Eritrean asylum seekers and professionals from NGOs and the Tel Aviv municipality who assist them. The study explores various theoretical concepts such as social exclusion, adaptation, incorporation, and integration in the context of migrants' interaction with the host society. These concepts traditionally suggest a linear progression; however, our findings indicat…
Multi-level and Multi-sector Governance and the Incorporation of Eritrean Asylum Seekers in the City of Tel Aviv
This study investigated a multilevel, multisector governance model regarding the incorporation of Eritrean asylum seekers in Tel Aviv, from perspectives of both Israeli civil society organization (CSO) professionals and asylum seekers, through semi-structured interviews, using a qualitative phenomenological design. The research revealed a complex interplay among governmental agencies, local authorities, and CSOs in negotiating legal actions and r…
Jewish Women, Native-Born and Migrants, in Brussels
The purpose of this study is to compare two groups of Jewish women, native-born and migrants, who reside in Brussels regarding their social integration into native-born Jewish and non-Jewish communities and the acculturation strategies they employ. It seems that Brussels is not as socially and culturally open, as perceived by the interviewees. Hence, the social networks of women in our study, as well as their acculturation patterns, differ in deg…
North-African Jewish People in Paris
The purpose of this study is to compare native-born and immigrant Jewish people from North African roots who reside in greater Paris regarding their multiple identities: ethnic-religious, as Jewish people; national, as French citizens; and transnational, as migrants and 'citizens of the world'. This study employed the correlative quantitative method using survey questionnaires (N = 145) combined with qualitative semi-structured interviews. The ma…
Getting to know ‘them’ changed my opinion’
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of intercultural encounters with the Other (between Jews and Arabs) during graduate studies, at colleges of education and university education departments, on the level of intercultural competence reported by them. Intercultural competence means a long-term change in the level of knowledge, feelings, attitudes and actual behavior that enables positive interactions with members of other cultural …
Jewish immigrants from the Greater Middle East to France and Belgium
The present study focused on two groups of immigrant Jews from the Greater Middle East, Israel and North Africa, who currently reside in three cities in Europe: Paris, Brussels and Antwerp. By using mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative), I compared the two groups and found that each one has its own subethnicity: Israelis can be mainly characterized as belonging to the ethno-communal pattern: refer to themselves as secular and use symbols d…
Acculturation Strategies and Ethnic Identity Among Second-Generation Israeli Migrants in the United States
“Us and them”
I sraelis in the U nited S tates
More than half of Israelis who emigrated from Israel live in the United States. Most of them have high socioeconomic status. Their ethnic identity and identification are dynamic and differentiated by the migration generation. Some of them identify with and assimilate into the host society, some are more attached to the local Jewish population, while others keep their main social and cultural connections with the homeland, Israel. While first‐gene…
North Americans, Israelis, or Jews? The Ethnic Identity of Immigrants’ Offspring
Between Authenticity and Ethnicity
Heritage tourism takes on a new meaning when conceived and implemented in the framework of a diaspora – homeland context. Trip organisers utilise heritage tourism that identifies the signifiers of national collective identity or Peoplehood and construct an experience of authenticity that supports a newly reconstructed narrative of personal and collective identity that bridges the diaspora and homeland identities. This paper examines into the diff…

Globalization and the Role of Educational Travel to Israel in the Ethnification of American Jews
The globalization of contemporary life has been observed as having the twin consequences of, on the one hand, the homogenization of different cultures, while, on the other it brings out the commonality of all cultures relativization due to the heightened contact between them. Globalization also generates a renewed ethnicity as a response to cultural homogenization. This study will present, through comparative longitudinal analysis, the changes in…
Confidence in Mathematics and its Consequences
Gender differences in mathematics learning in the high school serve as a basis for achievement in mathematical disciplines in higher education, as well as in social mobility in Western society. The main findings reported here are that, in the Jewish sector in Israel, even when the level of mathematics is held constant, so that the perceived degree of achievement in mathematics of boys and girls is similar, girls are nevertheless found to report a…
