Abstract
Since the mid-1960s, over 280,000 Jews from the former Soviet Union have immigrated to the United States. Although they share similarities with many American Jews whose ancestors also moved from that geographical region, there are many factors that make the demographics and experience of these Soviet immigrants unique. After 20 years of serious immigration, enough data can be collected to evaluate how Soviet Jews are faring and have fared, how well they are integrating into American society, and to what extent the hopes and expectations of American Jews have been realized.
