This migration has made deep marks on the social, cultural, and political terrain of many countries, in particular the United States, Israel, and Germany.

Some chapters offer data-driven analyses that seek to quantify the impact Russian-speaking Jewish populations are making in their adoptive countries and their adaptations there. Others take a more ethnographic approach, using interviews and observations to determine how these immigrants integrate their old traditions and affiliations into their new identities. Further chapters examine how, despite the oceans separating them, members of this diaspora form imagined communities within cyberspace and through literature, enabling them to keep their shared culture alive.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAbove all, the scholars in \u003ci\u003eThe New Jewish Diaspora\u003c\/i\u003e place the migration of Russian-speaking Jews in its historical and social contexts, showing where it fits within the larger historic saga of the Jewish diaspora, exploring its dynamic engagement with the contemporary world, and pointing to future paths these immigrants and their descendants might follow.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e           List of Figures\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e           List of Tables\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e           Acknowledgments\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIntroduction: Homelands, Diasporas, and the Islands in Between\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e           Zvi Gitelman\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePart I              Demography: Who Are the Migrants and Where Have They Gone?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eChapter 1      Demography of the Contemporary Russian-Speaking Jewish Diaspora\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e             Mark Tolts\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eChapter 2      The Russian-Speaking Israeli Diaspora in the FSU, Europe, and North America: Jewish Identification and Attachment to Israel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e             Uzi Rebhun\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eChapter 3      Home in the Diaspora?
