Abstract

From Turkey to Israel after the foundation of
the Israeli state is one of the most interesting events in recent Turkish
history.  Foundation of the Israeli State
was one of the main reasons that led to the immigration of most of the Turkish
Jews from Turkey to Israel. If this issue is looked at closely,  it could also be seen that the reason behind
the migration of some of the Turkish Jews were rather personal, such as higher
pay rates, better employment opportunities, 
and religious  feelings.  It is also important to emphasize that, on
the whole, Turkish Jews who migrated from Turkey to Israel had positive
impressions and memories about Turkish society and Turkey. 

Keywords
