Abstract
Abstract At the turn of the century the New Yishuv was boosted by an immigration wave, known as the Second Aliya (1904–13). Pushed by the pogroms against Jews in Russia which broke out in Kishinev in 1903, most immigrants were young socialists motivated to reform the traditional Jewish way of life through the creation of a new, just society, with hard physical labour and collective effort elevated to the level of religious adoration. They numbered 35,000–40,000 persons and their influence was especially prevalent in the political elite of the Yishuv for years to come.2
