The New Jewish Diaspora

How do we make sense of the concepts of “diaspora” and “homeland” in a globalized world?

The vast majority of Russian-speaking Jews today live outside the former Soviet Union. We spoke with Zvi Gitelman about this population, their remarkable impact on the societies that send and receive them, and how traditional notions of "diaspora" and "homeland" have blurred in our globalized world.
