The New Yishuv refers to those who built homes outside the Old City walls of Jerusalem in the 1860s, and to the establishment of Petah Tikva and the First Aliyah of 1882, followed by the founding of settlements until the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. The First Aliyah was the very beginning of the creation of the New Yishuv. More than 25,000 Jews immigrated to Israel. The immigrants came to Israel with the idea of creating a national home for Jews. Most of the immigrants were Russians escaping the pogroms, as well as some Yemenites. Many of the immigrants were affiliated with Habbayit Hayehudi/ Hovevei Tzion . Hovevei Tzion purchased land from Arabs and created many different settlements such as Yesod Hamaalah, Rosh Pinna, Gedera, Rishon Le'tzion, Nes Tziona & Rechovot. These agricultural settlements were supported by philanthropists from abroad, chiefly Theodore Rothschild . Eliezer Ben-Yehuda arrived in the first Aliyah. He took it upon himself to revive the Hebrew language. He along with Nissim Bechar started a school for teaching Hebrew and later on founded the first Hebrew newspaper. During the Second Aliyah in 1903-1914 35,000 new immigrants came over primarily from Russia.
