The immigration of Jews to Israel; the act of going up or ascending, particularly in religious and historical contexts.
From Hebrew 'aliyah' (ascent, going up), the standard English transliteration of the Hebrew word. It became a central concept in Zionist ideology and Jewish national movements.
The term 'aliyah' carries deep spiritual meaning—Jewish immigrants don't just 'move' to Israel, they 'go up,' reflecting the idea that Israel is the promised land on a higher plane.
