Old Yishuv
The Old Yishuv (Hebrew: היישוב הישן, romanized: haYishuv haYashan, lit. "Old Settlement") were the Jewish communities of the region of Palestine during the Ottoman period, up to the onset of Zionist aliyah waves, and the consolidation of the new Yishuv by the end of World War I. Unlike the new Yishuv, characterized by secular and Zionist ideologies promoting labor and self-sufficiency, the Old Yishuv primarily consisted of religious Jews who relied on external donations (Hebrew: צְדָקָה, romanized: Tzedakah, lit. 'Justice', often translated as 'Charity') for support.
