Almost twenty years ago, I taught students whose parents, born and raised in Israel, had immigrated to the U.S. because they were already concerned about the direction their country was headed. More than one of the parents was the child of Holocaust survivors; others were from MENA countries that had expelled Jews. These parents were educated, scientists and professors. They all wanted to give their kids a better future and saw that as more possible in the United States than in Israel.
