“…One of the factors extensively studied in relation to the adaptation of immigrant adolescents is their cultural and national identity (Phinney, Horenczyk, Liebkind, & Vedder, 2001;Walsh & Tartakovsky, 2011). The findings are consistent with the main claims of Berry's acculturation theory (Berry, 1997), which posits four possible strategies of cultural adaptation (acculturation) among immigrants.…”

This exploratory and descriptive paper depicts a unique pilot program in Israel aimed at assisting and supporting immigrant families from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) whose children have been involved in criminal behavior after the immigration. The program is a joint venture of the Immigrant Parents Forum association, the Welfare Services Department at the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption (MIA), and the Juvenile Probation Service (JPS) at the Ministry of Welfare and Social Services. It provides structured help to the families of these youngsters, including mediation with the JPS and other officials and public bodies in the community, parental training, guidance, and emotional support. The program description, including case illustrations, is based on the program's internal documents and interviews with the following key figures: the chairwoman of the Immigrant Parents Forum, two program coordinators, the program supervisor, the director of the JPS, the deputy head of the regional JPS office in charge of implementing the program on a trial basis, and the regional social worker at the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption. Although the program is implemented in a particular social and political context, it may offer ideas about assisting immigrant parents regardless of origin, ethnicity, and specific social circumstances.

“…In the present study, we did not examine the immigrants' Jewish identification and their identification with the fellow immigrants. However, a previous study(Walsh & Tartakovsky, 2011) found a positive effect of these variables on psychological well-being.E.Tartakovsky et al …”

“…In addition, most studies conducted among ethnic minorities found a positive connection between ethnic identification and psychological well-being (Smith & Silva, 2011). However, several studies conducted among immigrants in Europe (Neto, 2001) and Israel (Amit, 2012;Walsh & Tartakovsky, 2011) have not found a connection between identification with the country of origin and psychological well-being.…”

“…It includes identification with fellow immigrants, identification with the country of origin, and identification with the receiving country (Amit, 2012;Berry & Hou, 2017;Ward, Gale, Staerklé, & Stuart, 2018). For immigrants who were ethnic minorities in their country of origin (e.g., Jews), the identification system also includes identification with the ethnic minority group (Tartakovsky, Patrakov, & Nikulina, 2017;Walsh & Tartakovsky, 2011). Each of these social entities may provide social support and, therefore, constitutes a social resource promoting psychological well-being.…”

In the present study, we examined satisfaction with life (SWL), group identifications, perceived discrimination, and socio-economic status among immigrants and stayers. The study had two main objectives: 1) to test the morbidity and salutary hypotheses of immigration by comparing the psycho-social characteristics of immigrants and stayers; 2) to test a resource model of wellbeing among immigrants and stayers by investigating the effect of different resources and stressors on SWL. The study was conducted using a random representative sample of firstgeneration immigrants from the Former Soviet Union to Israel (n = 400) and a not-random large and geographically dispersed sample of Jews staying in Russia (n = 935). The comparison of immigrants and stayers revealed that immigration is a mixed blessing, salutary in some aspects and onerous in others. In general, immigrants were more satisfied with their life than stayers. In addition, identification with the country of residence was stronger among immigrants than stayers. However, immigrants reported a higher level of perceived discrimination, and their socio-economic status was lower than that of stayers. Socio-economic status, identification with the country of residence, and perceived discrimination were directly connected to SWL among immigrants and stayers. In addition, among stayers, identification with the ethnic minority group was connected to SWL, while among immigrants, identification with the country of origin was not connected to SWL. Socio-economic status and perceived discrimination also affected SWL indirectly, through their connections to identification with the country of residence among immigrants and stayers and through their connection to ethnic identification among stayers.

“…6 Between 1990 and 2003 approximately 950,000 migrants (many of them highly educated) arrived in Israel from the former Soviet Union (FSU), which constituted 17% of Israel's total population (Walsh and Tartakovsky 2011). Data on Ukrainian migrants is usually presented as part of the FSU migration.…”
