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.
