Abstract

Seventy years after the creation of the modern State of Israel in which not all of its problems were solved but at least they were faced, many of these are expressed and clarified through Hebrew literature. Among these issues are the migrations that occurred during these seven decades and the absorption of newcomers who needed to adapt to life in the country, from the new language to new socio-cultural conformations. The varied motives for these migrations also weigh on these new Israelis. The award-winning novel Haroman hamitsri (The Egyptian Romance), 2015, by Orly Castel-Bloom, which in a saga reports about the immigration of the Castil family (surname of her family) from Egypt to Israel, its Sefardites origins and the demolition of their Zionist dreams will be approached in order to follow this trajectory.
