Block 28 closes the diaspora and aliyah section. The four major Jewish diaspora communities and their aliyah pipelines: US (~6.3M, Nefesh B'Nefesh), France (~440K, surge post-2014), FSU (~1M historical, ongoing), Latin America (~400K, crisis-driven). The aliyah infrastructure: Sokhnut (diaspora-side), Misrad HaKlita (in Israel), Sal Klita (financial package), Ulpan (Hebrew school), Ulpan Kibbutz (immersion track), lone soldier programs. Lessons covered US Jews, French Jews, Russian Jews, Latin Americans, the Sokhnut, Misrad HaKlita, Sal Klita, Ulpan Kibbutz, and lone soldier paths. This summary consolidates the 10 essential terms, key institutions, and key communities.
Cultural note, Israel\'s "ingathering of exiles" (kibbutz galuyot) is its founding mission. Each community brings a distinct culture: US Anglos = English + religious-Zionist; French = Mediterranean + traditional Sephardi; Russians = secular intelligentsia + classical music; LatAm = warmth + Mediterranean cafe culture. Knowing the lexicon = navigating Anglo-Israeli, French-Israeli, Russian-Israeli social circles. After Block 28, you can guide a friend through aliyah, claim sal klita, choose an ulpan, and register at Misrad HaKlita, full aliyah fluency.
