Since the establishment of the State of Israel in May 1948, more
than 40,000 Iranian Jews have moved to Israel, with the last big
wave arriving after the Iranian Revolution of 1978/79. As the
governments of these two states continue to display animosity
towards each other, an examination of the Jews of Iran who now live
in Israel provides important insights into the nature of the
relationship between these two key countries in the Middle East.
Alessandra Cecolin combines a historical approach to the patterns
of Iranian Jewish emigration to Israel with a political analysis of
Iranian-Israeli relations, exploring how the political and
diplomatic interactions between the two have shaped the processes
of emigration and integration of Iranian Jewry in Israel. In this
book she explores how this community is often caught between a
Persian cultural identity and Israeli nationality, and draws out
the implications this has both for the community in Israel and for
the wider region.
