Abstract
Most studies on the adaptation of immigrants have a number of typical features. For the most part, they concern immigrants from Third World countries with a low level of formal education who represent a small minority group in the host country. This paper will focus on the phenomenon of mass immigration of Russian Jews to Israel during 1989-1992—in many respects a unique phenomenon. The distinguishing features of this wave of immigration are its size, the educational level of the immigrants, and their strong ties with Russian culture.Keywords
