Fifth Aliyah
The Fifth Aliyah (Hebrew: העלייה החמישית, romanized: HaAliyah HaHamishit) refers to the fifth wave of the Jewish immigration to Mandatory Palestine from Europe and Asia between the years 1929 and 1939, with the arrival of 225,000 to 300,000 Jews. The Fifth Aliyah, or fifth immigration wave, began after the comeback from the 1927 economic crisis in Mandatory Palestine and the 1929 Palestine riots, during the period of the Fourth Aliyah.
