EARLY ALIYOT


        The first aliyah lasted from 1882-1903. Nearly 35,000 Jews came to Palestine. Many Jews came in the beginning from Russia because of many pogroms(which are organized massacres). the Jews left for political and spiritual reasons.
           
        Most of the immigrants chose to farm (they were not individual farmers they formed groups). The immigrants faced many difficulties. Some of the difficulties that they faced were bad climate(they had desert like climates), they  had high taxes from the Turkey government,they suffered from disease and lack of medicine, and the Arabs were against the Jews staying . By the end of the first aliyah 15,00 people stayed but the rest  left.

        If I were alive back then and  I had a choice to go to Israel I would go and I would stay because I would want to help build the State and improve it.While I am there I would want to figure out how to help with the taxes and the health of the people who stayed. I would also like to convince the people who want to leave to stay by showing them that if we all work together things will get better.

    i agree with samara because if someone offers you land and everybody is going to kill you in Russia get away from there ASAP because i would rather go to a land and survive then stay in a land and die and whats worse than dying is watching your family die in front of you and they cold do that

    really good blog, i agree with you every bit. you listed the events correctly and stated what happened. what you would do about it is very true, and all of us would do the same.

    I agree with Samara because if I was there I would go too. Everyone would do that. I mean, I think everyone would go if they could in this situation. I really liked your blog. You told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

    I liked your blog. you stated what happened to the Jews who arrived on the first Aliya and made us feel the struggles they went through. I was happy to see that you said that if you were alive at that time you would have made aliya and stayed in Israel.
