A Study on Cultural Identities of Jewish Immigrants fromFormer Soviet Union in Israel : Focused on the Language Useand Acceptance of Religion of the Newcomers who immigratedduring the 1990sChoi, A-YoungSince 1989 about one million Jews from Former Soviet Union have immigratedto Israel. Now Russian speaking Jews are the second largest ethnic groups afterthe Israeli Jews who were born in Israel.
Although FSU Jews have returned to their ethnic homeland, they continue tolive as 'foreigners' due to a cultural distance between sending and receiving society,such as, lack of knowledge about Jewish tradition and religious practice and lowlevel of Hebrew proficiency. Because of this reason FSU immigrants tend to continueremain strong ties with Russian language and culture.
There are several reasons for such a relatively slow process of language shiftof FSU Jewish immigrants, the language shift to Hebrew. Firstly, majority ofFSU immigrants moved to Israel since the 1990s are older than 45. Secondly,their first residences in Israel are mostly located in small and mid-sized cities,where the proportion of Russian speaking immigrants is more than 30%. Andfinally they consider Russian culture is 'superior' to Israel's Levantine culture.
For many Jewish diasporic communities, Judaism was a dominant factor forself-consciousness, but because of Soviet regime, aimed to break all the religiousinstitution including Jewish, Soviet Jewry was uprooted from their religioustraditions. Besides about 30% of FSU immigrants are not defined as Jews bythe Jewish religious law(Halakhah). And many of them are reluctant to convertto Judaism. FSU Jewish immigrant agree that Israel must be a Jewish state, butfor them 'Jewish' does not include religious elements. FSU immigrants considerthat religious affiliation of citizens of Israel should not affect their civic rights.
