Anglo-Israelis, also referred to as Anglo-Saksim (Hebrew: אנגלו-סקסונים) or English-speaking Israelis, are Anglophone Jewish olim, whether born-Jews or gerim, and their descendants in the State of Israel. An integral part of Israeli Jewish society, they have imported into Israel the customs of their countries of origin.[1][2][3]
Anglo-Israelis come from a variety of different countries, such as the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, India, Kenya, the Caribbean, and South Africa.[4][5][6][7]
Name origin
The term "Anglo-Saksim" is not an ethnic term in Israel, but rather a cultural and linguistic term for diaspora Jews whose first language is English and who grew up in a country within the Anglosphere.[8][9][10]
The name derives from the Anglo-Saxons who were the precursor population to the modern English people.[11]
History
Jews have existed in the English-speaking world since the Middle Ages when Jewish merchants from Normandy arrived in England in 1070.[12]
During the Israeli War of Independence in 1948, the 7th Armored Brigade became known as the "Anglo-Saxon Brigade", due to its heavy amount of Anglo-Israeli soldiers.[13]
