Soviet Jewish immigrants to Israel in the early 1990s arrived with an unprecedented void in Jewish knowledge and identity, posing a critical challenge for their spiritual integration into Israeli society. Through extensive qualitative research including classroom observations, immigrant interviews, and analysis of educational programs, a clear pattern emerged: approximately 30% of Soviet immigrants considered leaving Israel within five years, highlighting how economic absorption alone proved insufficient for true integration. The methodology involved direct educational engagement with several hundred Soviet Jews through Masorti (Conservative) Judaism programs across multiple Israeli cities and newly established schools within the former Soviet Union. Soviet immigrants demonstrated strong positive responses to pluralistic approaches emphasizing intellectual inquiry, historical-critical scholarship, and the integration of Jewish and secular wisdom, while rejecting fundamentalist or dogmatic religious approaches. Educational programs that successfully synthesized Judaism, Zionism, and modernity - prioritizing belonging and theological understanding over rigid behavioral compliance - proved most effective for long-term absorption. Though operating with significantly fewer resources and less governmental support than Orthodox institutions, Masorti Judaism's pluralistic and intellectually sophisticated approach emerged as a viable alternative to Orthodox monopolization of immigrant spiritual absorption.
