Title
The Push and Pull Factors of Aliyah and the Anomalous Case of Canada: 1967-1982
Abstract
The rate of Aliyah, or migration to the homeland (Israel), has been relatively low among Quebec Jews. Despite incentives to leave Canada (declining economy, political uncertainty in Quebec, etc.), the author concludes that most Quebec-born Jews stay in the country because of individual prosperity, historical stability, local patriotism, negative attitudes towards life in Israel, the influence of United States patterns and, above all, the possibility of moving to other Canadian regions if necessary where Jews have prospered.
