A wave of Polish-Jewish immigration to Palestine…

A wave of Polish-Jewish immigration to Palestine is spurred by a political and economic crisis in Poland and the Johnson-Lodge Immigration Act passed by the United States Congress, which curtails mass immigration to America by setting the quota at two percent of the 1890 census.

Known as the Fourth Aliyah, which refers to the fourth wave of the Jewish immigration to Israel from Europe and Asia who will come based on Zionist motives between the years 1924 and 1928, this group contains many middle class families that move to the growing cities, establishing small businesses and light industry.
