عليا (بالعبرية עלייה الصعود) كلمة عبرية تشير للهجرة اليهودية لأرض إسرائيل أو فلسطين (وإلى دولة إسرائيل منذ تأسيسها في 1948). Traditionally described as "the act of going up" (towards the Jewish holy city of Jerusalem), moving to the Land of Israel or "making aliyah" is one of the most basic tenets of Zionism. أما هجرة اليهود من إسرائيل لخارجها فتسمى يريدا (النزول) (حرفياً 'descent').[1]

تعتبر عليا فكرة يهودية مهمة وهي حجر أساس في الفكر الصهيوني حيث يسمح قانون العودة الإسرائيلي لأي يهودي بحق العودة والمساعدة على الهجرة والاستقرار في إسرائيل بالإضافة للجنسية الإسرائيلية. يعتبرها كثير من اليهود عودة لللأرض الموعودة وتحقيقًا لوعد الله في التوراة لإبراهيم وإسحاق ويعقوب، وهي من ضمن الأوامر اليهودية ال613.

في الفكر الصهيوني تشمل عليا الهجرة الجماعية لليهود المضطهدين بالإضافة للهجرة الفردية الاختيارية.

For much of their history, most Jews have lived in the diaspora outside of the Land of Israel due to various historical conflicts that led to their persecution alongside multiple instances of expulsions and exoduses. In the late 19th century, 99.7% of the world's Jews lived outside the region, with Jews representing 2–5% of the population of the Palestine region.[2][3] Despite its historical value as a national aspiration for the Jewish people, aliyah was acted upon by few prior to the rise of a national awakening among Jews worldwide and the subsequent development of the Zionist movement in the late 19th century;[4] the large-scale immigration of Jews to Palestine had consequently begun by 1882.[5] Since the Israeli Declaration of Independence in 1948, more than 3 million Jews have made aliyah.[6] اعتبارا من 2014, Israel and the Israeli-occupied territories contain approximately 42.9 percent of the world's Jewish population.[7]

Since 2024, Israel has seen net negative migration: yerida is higher than aliyah.[8]

مصطلحات

The Hebrew word aliyah means "ascent" or "going up". Jewish tradition views traveling to the Land of Israel as an ascent, both geographically and metaphysically. In one opinion, the geographical sense preceded the metaphorical one, as most Jews going on pilgrimage to Jerusalem, which is situated at approximately 750 meters (2,500 feet) above sea level, had to climb to a higher geographic elevation. The reason is that many Jews in early rabbinic times used to live either in Egypt's Nile Delta and on the plains of Babylonia, which lay relatively low; or somewhere in the Mediterranean Basin, from where they arrived by ship.[9]

It is noteworthy that various references in the earlier books of the Bible indicate that Egypt was considered as being "below" other countries, so that going to Egypt was described as "going down to Egypt" while going away from Egypt (including Hebrews going out of Egypt to Canaan) was "going up out of Egypt". Thus, in the Book of Genesis 46 God speaks to Jacob and says “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there. I will go down to Egypt with you." And in the Book of Exodus 1, the oppressive new King of Egypt suspects the Hebrews of living in Egypt of being enemies who in time of war might "Fight against us, and so get them up out of the land".

Widespread use of the term Aliyah to describe ideologically inspired Jewish immigration to Palestine / Israel is due to Arthur Ruppin's 1930 work Soziologie der Juden.[10] Aliyah has also been defined, by sociologists such as Aryeh Tartakower, as immigration for the good of the community, regardless of the destination.[11]

Aliyah is an important Jewish cultural concept and a fundamental component of Zionism. It is enshrined in Israel's Law of Return, which accords any Jew (deemed as such by halakha and/or Israeli secular law) and eligible non-Jews (a child and a grandchild of a Jew, the spouse of a Jew, the spouse of a child of a Jew and the spouse of a grandchild of a Jew), the legal right to assisted immigration and settlement in Israel, as well as Israeli citizenship. Someone who "makes aliyah" is called an oleh (m.; pl. olim) or olah (f.; pl. olot). Many religious Jews espouse aliyah as a return to the Promised Land, and regard it as the fulfillment of God's biblical promise to the descendants of the Hebrew patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Nachmanides (the Ramban) includes making aliyah in his enumeration of the 613 commandments.[12]

Sifre says that the mitzvah (commandment) of living in Eretz Yisrael is as important as all the other mitzvot put together. There are many mitzvot such as shmita, the sabbatical year for farming, which can only be performed in Israel.[13]

For generations of religious Jews, aliyah was associated with the coming of the Jewish Messiah. Jews prayed for their Messiah to come, who was to redeem the "Land of Israel" (Eretz Yisrael, commonly known in English as the region of Palestine) from gentile rule and return world Jewry to the land under a Halachic theocracy.[14]

In Zionist discourse, the term aliyah (plural aliyot) includes both voluntary immigration for ideological, emotional, or practical reasons and, on the other hand, mass flight of persecuted populations of Jews. The vast majority of Israeli Jews today trace their family's recent roots to outside the country. While many have actively chosen to settle in Israel rather than some other country, many had little or no choice about leaving their previous home countries.[citation needed] While Israel is commonly recognized as "a country of immigrants", it is also, in large measure, a country of refugees, including internal refugees.

عليا قبل الصهيونية

ازداد عدد اليهود المهاجرين لأرض إسرائيل من الشتات بشكل هام فيما بين القرنين الثالث عشر والتاسع عشر لأسباب أهمها صعوبة حياة اليهود في أوروبا وتزايد الاضطهاد الديني فيها. وقد اعتبر البعض أن طرد اليهود من إنكلترا (1290) ومن فرنسا (1391) ومن النمسا (1421) ومن اسبانيا (مرسوم الطرد أو مرسوم الحمراء في 1492) علامات على اقتراب خلاص اليهود مما رفع من توقعاتهم بمجيء المسيح وبمملكة اليهود في ذلك الوقت.

حرضت الهجرات في ذلك الوقت بحمى توقع مجيء المسيح لدى اليهود في فرنسا وإيطاليا والولايات الألمانية وبولندا وروسيا وشمال أفريقيا. حيث أن الاعتقاد بالمجيء الوشيك لمسيح اليهود وأن المنفيين يتجمعون وأن مملكة إسرائيل ستعود شجع الكثير ممن لم تكن أمامهم خيارات أخرى على تلك الرحلة الشاقة إلى أرض إسرائيل.

لاقت المستعمرات اليهودية في فلسطين درجات مختلفة من النجاح، فلا يعرف الكثير مثلًا عن مصير هجرة سنة 1210 لثلاثمائة حاخام وأولادهم، بل يعتقد أنهم هلكوا بسبب الغزو الصليبي في 1229 وطرد المسلمين لهم في 1291. وبعد سقوط الإمبراطورية البيزنطية في 1453 وطرد اليهود من اسبانيا (1492) ومن البرتغال (1498) هاجر الكثير من اليهود إلى الأرض المقدسة. وهاجر أيضًا الآلاف من أتباع حاخامات من القبالاه والحسيدية ومن تلاميذ فيلنا غاون Vilna Gaon وتلاميذ موسى سوفر مما أدى إلى زيادة ملحوظة لعدد السكان اليهود في القدس وطبرية والخليل وصفد.

وقد ألهمت أحلام فيلنا غاون المسيحية إحدى أكبر موجات الهجرة، واستوطن مئات من تلاميذه في 1808 في طبرية وصفد، وكونوا لاحقًا نواة يشوف في القدس.

وجرت محاولات لاستئجار شمال فلسطين لتوطين اليهود كما فعل البريطاني الصوفي لورنس أوليفانت في 1879.

بسبب حد الحكومة البريطانية لأعداد المهاجرين The British government limited Jewish immigration to Mandatory Palestine with quotas, and following the rise of Nazism to power in Germany, illegal immigration to Mandatory Palestine commenced.[15] The illegal immigration was known as Aliyah Bet ("secondary immigration"), or Ha'apalah, and was organized by the Mossad Le'aliyah Bet, as well as by the Irgun. Immigration was done mainly by sea, and to a lesser extent overland through Iraq and Syria. During World War II and the years that followed until independence, Aliyah Bet became the main form of Jewish immigration to Mandatory Palestine.[citation needed]

Following the war, Bricha ("escape"), an organization of former partisans and ghetto fighters was primarily responsible for smuggling Jews from Eastern Europe through Poland. In 1946 Poland was the only Eastern Bloc country to allow free Jewish aliyah to Mandate Palestine without visas or exit permits.[16] By contrast, Stalin forcibly brought Soviet Jews back who lived in occupied or soviet territory to USSR, as agreed by the Allies during the Yalta Conference.[17] The refugees were sent to the Italian ports from which they traveled to Mandatory Palestine. More than 4,500 survivors left the French port of Sète aboard President Warfield (renamed Exodus). The British turned them back to France from Haifa, and forced them ashore in Hamburg. Despite British efforts to curb the illegal immigration, during the 14 years of its operation, 110,000 Jews immigrated to Palestine. In 1945 reports of the Holocaust with its 6 million Jewish killed, caused many Jews in Palestine to turn openly against the British Mandate, and illegal immigration escalated rapidly as many Holocaust survivors joined the aliyah.[citation needed]

After Aliyah Bet, the process of numbering or naming individual aliyot ceased, but immigration did not. A major wave of Jewish immigration, mainly from post-Holocaust Europe and the Arab and Muslim world took place from 1948 to 1951. In three and a half years, the Jewish population of Israel, which was 650,000 at the state's founding, was more than doubled by an influx of about 688,000 immigrants.[19] In 1949, the largest-ever number of Jewish immigrants in a single year—249,954—arrived in Israel.[6] This period of immigration is often termed kibbutz galuyot (literally, ingathering of exiles), due to the large number of Jewish diaspora communities that made aliyah. However, kibbutz galuyot can also refer to aliyah in general.[citation needed]

At the beginning of the immigration wave, most of the immigrants to reach Israel were Holocaust survivors from Europe, including many from displaced persons camps in Germany, Austria, and Italy, and from British detention camps on Cyprus. Large sections of shattered Jewish communities throughout Europe, such as those from Poland and Romania also immigrated to Israel, with some communities, such as those from Bulgaria and Yugoslavia, being almost entirely transferred. At the same time, the number of Jewish immigrants from Arab countries greatly increased. Special operations were undertaken to evacuate Jewish communities perceived to be in serious danger to Israel, such as Operation Magic Carpet, which evacuated almost the entire Jewish population of Yemen, and Operation Ezra and Nehemiah, which airlifted most of the Jews of Iraq to Israel.[19] Egyptian Jews were smuggled to Israel in Operation Goshen. Nearly the entire Jewish population of Libya left for Israel around this time, and clandestine aliyah from Syria took place, as the Syrian government prohibited Jewish emigration, in a process that was to last decades. Israel also saw significant immigration of Jews from non-Arab Muslim countries such as Iran, Turkey, and Afghanistan in this period.[citation needed]

This resulted in a period of austerity. To ensure that Israel, which at that time had a small economy and scant foreign currency reserves, could provide for the immigrants, a strict regime of rationing was put in place. Measures were enacted to ensure that all Israeli citizens had access to adequate food, housing, and clothing. Austerity was very restrictive until 1953; the previous year, Israel had signed a reparations agreement with West Germany, in which the West German government would pay Israel as compensation for the Holocaust, due to Israel's taking in a large number of Holocaust survivors. The resulting influx of foreign capital boosted the Israeli economy and allowed for the relaxing of most restrictions. The remaining austerity measures were gradually phased out throughout the following years.[citation needed] When new immigrants arrived in Israel, they were sprayed with DDT, underwent a medical examination, were inoculated against diseases, and were given food. The earliest immigrants received desirable homes in established urban areas, but most of the immigrants were then sent to transit camps, known initially as immigrant camps, and later as Ma'abarot. Many were also initially housed in reception centers in military barracks. By the end of 1950, some 93,000 immigrants were housed in 62 transit camps. The Israeli government's goal was to get the immigrants out of refugee housing and into society as speedily as possible. Immigrants who left the camps received a ration card, an identity card, a mattress, a pair of blankets, and $21 to $36 in cash. They settled either in established cities and towns, or in kibbutzim and moshavim.[19][20] Many others stayed in the Ma'abarot as they were gradually turned into permanent cities and towns, which became known as development towns, or were absorbed as neighborhoods of the towns they were attached to, and the tin dwellings were replaced with permanent housing.[citation needed]

In the early 1950s, the immigration wave subsided, and emigration increased; ultimately, some 10% of the immigrants would leave Israel for other countries in the following years. In 1953, immigration to Israel averaged 1,200 a month, while emigration averaged 700 a month. The end of the period of mass immigration gave Israel a critical opportunity to more rapidly absorb the immigrants still living in transit camps.[21] The Israeli government built 260 new settlements and 78,000 housing units to accommodate the immigrants, and by the mid-1950s, almost all were in permanent housing.[22] The last ma'abarot closed in 1963.

In the mid-1950s, a smaller wave of immigration began from North African countries such as Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, and Egypt, many of which were in the midst of nationalist struggles. Between 1952 and 1964, some 240,000 North African Jews came to Israel. During this period, smaller but significant numbers arrived from other places such as Europe, Iran, India, and Latin America.[22] In particular, a small immigration wave from then communist Poland, known as the "Gomulka Aliyah", took place during this period. From 1956 to 1960, Poland permitted free Jewish emigration, and some 50,000 Polish Jews immigrated to Israel.[23]

Since the founding of the State of Israel, the Jewish Agency for Israel was mandated as the organization responsible for aliyah in the diaspora.[24]

From 1948 until the early 1970s, around 900,000 Jews from Arab lands left, fled, or were expelled from various Arab nations, of which an estimated 650,000 settled in Israel.[25] In the course of Operation Magic Carpet (1949–1950), nearly the entire community of Yemenite Jews (about 49,000) immigrated to Israel. Its other name, Operation On Wings of Eagles (Hebrew: כנפי נשרים, Kanfei Nesharim), was inspired by

Exodus 19:4: "Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself."[26]

و

Isaiah 40:31: "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint".[27]

Some 120,000 Iraqi Jews were airlifted to Israel in Operation Ezra and Nehemiah.
