Jewish immigrants
Hebrew newcomers arriving
Jewish immigrants refers to people of Jewish heritage or faith who have relocated from one country to settle permanently in another.
The term appears frequently in historical discussions of migration waves, particularly the mass movements from Eastern Europe to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the establishment of Israel.
My great-grandparents were Jewish immigrants who came through Ellis Island.
The phrase encompasses both religious and ethnic dimensions of Jewish identity.
