While some Jews around the world associate Germany with the most tragic chapter in Jewish history, the nation has recently seen swathes of Israeli Jewish migrants arriving on its shores. Who are the community of Israelis who now call Germany home? Why did they select Germany? And what have their experiences been like integrating into this new culture?

Join us in person as Professor Uzi Rubzhen explores the delicate interplay between the emigration of Jews from Israel to Germany, and their construction of a new identity in the shadow of antisemitism – both past and present – in their new home.

About the expert:

Professor Uzi Rebhun is a Professor of Jewish Demography and Sociology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel. His books include A Double Burden: Israeli Jews in Contemporary Germany and Jews and the American Religious Landscape.

This talk is in partnership with Sydney University’s Department of Hebrew, Jewish and Biblical Studies and Mandelbaum House.
