In the wake of the1999–2002 Argentine political and economic crisis, manyArgentine Jewsemigrated to Israel. The1992 attack on the Israeli embassy and the1994 bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires also helped create an impetus for Jews to emigrate.
More than 10,000Jews from Argentina immigrated to Israel since 2000, joining the thousands of previousolim already there. During 2002 and 2003 theJewish Agency launched an intensive public campaign to promotealiyah from the region, and offered additional economic aid for immigrants from Argentina and Uruguay. Although the Argentine economy improved, Jews continue to immigrate to Israel, albeit in smaller numbers than before. Some of those immigrants returned to Argentina in the wake of Argentine economic growth from 2003 onwards.[1][2]
Olim from other Latin American countries, such asUruguay,Chile,Peru,Venezuela andBrazil, are also makingaliyah in smaller numbers.
