===Yerida=== | |||
*Yerida refers to emigration by Israeli Jews from the State of Israel. Yerida is the opposite of Aliyah, which is immigration to Israel. The emigration of non-Jewish Israelis is not included in the term "Yerida". | |||
*Common reasons for emigration given are the '''high cost of living, a desire to escape from the instability of ongoing Palestinian political violence and the Arab–Israeli conflict, academic or professional ambitions, and disillusion with Israeli society.''' | |||
*Between 1948 and 1958, over 100,000 Jews emigrated from Israel. | |||
*According to the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics, a little over 500,000 Israelis emigrated between 1990 and 2014, of whom about 230,000 eventually returned to Israel. | |||
*Over 100,000 Israeli citizens are believed to be living in '''Russia.''' '''Moscow''' has the largest single Israeli citizen community in the world, with 80,000 Israeli citizens living in the city as of 2014, almost all of them native Russian-speakers. | |||
*The 1990 '''United States''' decennial census indicates that 94,718 Israel/Palestine-born persons lived in the United States. The 2000 U.S decennial census indicates that the number of Israel/Palestine-born U.S. persons rose to 125,325. | |||
*The 2010 '''United States''' Census found an increase of 30 percent of persons born in Israel, some 140,323 persons born in Israel, up from 109,720 in 2000. | |||
*The 2006 '''Canadian''' census counted 26,215 persons who reported Israeli citizenship, of whom two-thirds lived in the '''Ontario region'''. | |||
*In 2009, a study by the University of British Columbia concluded that there were 45,000 Israelis living in '''Canada''', while other estimates put the figure at 60,000. Of them, about 26,000 were found to live in the '''Vancouver Metropolitan Area'''. Overall, Israeli expatriates were estimated to make up 14% of Canadian Jewry. | |||
*Between 40,000 and 60,000 Israelis have either emigrated to or established long-term residency in '''India''', and live primarily in '''Goa and Maharashtra'''. | |||
*The 2001 UK census recorded 11,892 Israelis living in the '''United Kingdom'''. Most of them live in '''London'''; particularly in the densely populated Jewish area of '''Golders Green'''. It has been estimated that there are up to 70,000 people of Israeli descent in the UK. | |||
*About 7,000 Israelis live in '''Australia'''. They are heavily concentrated in '''Sydney and Melbourne'''. | |||
*Between 8,000 and 15,000 Israeli expatriates live in '''Germany'''. Practically all of them reside in '''Berlin'''.<ref>"Yerida", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yerida#Demography, accessed 12 June 2021.</ref> | |||
