Social participation and psychological distress among immigrants from the former Soviet Union
English The adaptation of immigrants to Israel and to Germany is compared. While in Germany immigrants were oriented towards the general society, in Israel they tended towards less social participation. Adolescent immigrants in Israel reported more stress than did their German peers, but no differences in the psychological stress were found among their parents. French Cette é tude compare la façon dont des immigrants en Israë l et en Allemagne se…
The Integration of Immigrants from the Former Soviet Union
Analysis of the integration of immigrants from the FSU is complicated from both theoretical and empirical points of view. First, Israel is at a turning point. The current wave of immigration began at a time when the country was undergoing change. Israeli society is less collectivist and more individualistic than in previous decades, less Zionist, less idealistic and more pragmatic. The economy is less rigidly structured. In other words Israel has…
The Increasing Political Power of Immigrants from the Former Soviet Union in Israel
The immigrants in Israel from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) followed a different pattern of political growth than other immigrant groups. Their increased power began on the national level and moved down to the local level, rather than from the periphery toward the centre – the pattern followed by the Oriental Jewish immigrants. We can trace three stages in the development of their political power. The first stage was during the 1992 elections whe…

Value‐Oriented Parameters in Migration Policies in the 1990s
This article focuses on value inputs at various junctures of the immigrant-absorption process in Israel and their possible implications for the future of the immigrants.... The model of value inputs of the 1990s suggests several directions in which absorption policy may head....One such direction is dominant in other immigration countries: the integration of the stronger immigrants--those whose ability to function in modern Western society is hig…

Awareness without legitimation
This paper deals with the response of the Israeli educational system to ethnic differences resulting from immigration. The Israeli educational system has never aimed at the preservation of cultural pluralism and ethnic differences. However, ‘ethnic’ or ‘quasi ethnic’ differences have obviously affected the outcome of the educational effort and therefore cannot be ignored. The average achievement of children whose parents came from Islamic Countri…
Between Two Worlds
A fascinating collection of essays by top Israeli sociology and psychology scholars that examines the impact of Soviet socialization on the personality, attitudes, and modes of behavior of immigrant children in Israel. The studies indicate that the children internalized the norms and values of the 'Soviet Man' found in their new environment
