Aliyos

/ɑˈliːoʊs/ noun

Definition

An alternate or transliterated plural of 'aliyah'; multiple instances of Jewish immigration or going up to Israel.

Etymology

From Hebrew 'aliyot,' the native plural form of 'aliyah,' sometimes transliterated as 'aliyos' in English texts to preserve Hebrew pronunciation.

Kelly Says

Some English-language Jewish texts use 'aliyos' to stay closer to the Hebrew pronunciation rather than using the anglicized 'aliyahs'—it depends on who's writing.
