EP 74: The Immigration from Argentina to Israel

This lecture will examine the experience of migration and “return
migration” among Argentines who have migrated to Israel and then
left, undergoing at times multiple migrations. Emigration from
Israel to other parts of the world has not yet received significant
scholarly attention, as the subject is a sensitive one in Israeli
society. Yet, thousands of Jews from all over the world have lived
between two homelands, as the Israeli-Argentine case demonstrates.
This study sheds light on issues of immigrant identities,
belonging, and expectations. The lecture is based on Dr. Krupnik’s
latest book Between Two Homelands: Argentine Migration to and from
Israel.. The opening words will be spoken by Prof. Michael Brenner.
The lecture is held in English.
