Immigrants on the Threshold »

This first large-scale empirical work on the adjustment problems of immigrants in Israel is now updated with a new introduction by the author and a new preface by Alex Weingrod. The extraordinary phenomenon of worldwide immigration to Israel made this searching study of people in transit possible. Immigrants on the Threshold reports on the attitudes and behaviors of almost 2,000 people from twenty countries during their first year in Israel during the early years of mass migration.
