centers of Jewish secular and religious life.

Jewish refugees

• In the course of history, Jewish populations have been expelled or ostracized by various local authorities and have sought asylum from anti-Semitism numerous times.

• After its establishment in 1948, the State of Israel adopted the 1950 Law of Return making Israel a home not only for the inhabitants of the State, but also for all members of the Jewish people everywhere. This law also made Israel an ideal destination for voluntary Jewish immigration.
