‘It’s Time to Get Out’: Why Jews Are Fleeing South Africa for Israel

 In the first eight months of 2021, 350 South African Jews moved to Israel – more than the total number for 2020. At the current pace, Jewish Agency officials estimate that more than 500 will arrive by the year’s end. That would be the largest number in any given year since the fall of the apartheid regime. It would be surpassed only by the aliyah waves that followed the 1967 Six-Day War and the Soweto riots of the mid-1970s.

  1. Actually the time to get out was 20 years ago when Israeli housing prices were much lower.
