Jerusalem 1881: The Russian Pogroms That Sparked a New Aliyah

9 min14 juni 2026

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the wave of Jewish immigration to Jerusalem that followed the 1881-1884 pogroms in the Russian Empire. They discuss the Bilu and Hovevei Zion movements, the role of Baron Edmond de Rothschild in funding new agricultural settlements, and the impact on the city's demographic and physical landscape. The conversation also examines the Ottoman response, including restrictions on Jewish immigration, and the tensions between the Old Yishuv and the newcomers. Specific topics include the founding of Petah Tikva and Rishon LeZion, the influence of Leo Pinsker's pamphlet 'Autoemancipation', and the emergence of the first modern Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem like Yemin Moshe and Nahalat Shiv'a. The episode provides a nuanced look at how external events in Eastern Europe reshaped the future of the Holy City.
