Rescuing the Wandering Jew

Rescuing the Wandering Jew

Watch as we dive into the ingathering of the exiles or Kibbutz Galuyot, one of the central missions of the state of Israel and the Zionist movement and talking about the Law of Return.This sometimes controversial law means that Israel considers any Jew, no matter where they live, to be potential citizens. It explains why Israel has gone out of its way to rescue Jews from countries such as Yemen, Ethiopia and even Saudi Arabia in a series of daring operations including Operation Magic Carpet, Operation Moses and Operation Solomon. Ultimately, it also raises the ongoing and always contentious question of what it means to be a Jew in the eyes of the State of Israel.
