"A most intriguing read." (Haaretz) "Between 1971 and 2009, some two million Jews left the Soviet Union, settling mainly in Israel, the U.S. and later, Germany. The focus of this study is on these immigrants and how they succeeded (or failed) to adapt to their new homes ... The essays, most by Israeli scholars, approach the subject from different perspectives, to determine what the creation of this new Jewish diaspora has meant to the three countries where most have settled, and to the immigrants themselves." (Chicago Jewish Star) "An important contribution to the growing body of literature on contemporary Russian Jews around the world." - David Shneer (University of Colorado) "The New Jewish Diaspora provides an invaluable resource for students and scholars in Jewish Studies, Russian Studies, and Diaspora and Transnationalism. The thematic breadth and the complex questions this volume poses make it particularly well-suited to serve as a textbook for courses on diasporic Russian-Jewish culture and society....The New Jewish Diaspora is a major contribution to the study of diasporic Russian-Jewish culture and society."
