Résumé anglais Catherine Poujol, The relations between Central Asia and Palestine or the ways of an emotional sionism. Regenerated spiritually by a messenger from the Holy Land in 1793, the Bukharan Jewish community never ceased from then on to develop its economic, cultural and sentimental links with Palestine. As from the « fashionable » pilgrimages to Jerusalem, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, to the settlement of Rehovot in 1890 close to Jerusalem, all kinds of bilateral relations form the core of this early sionism. This trend involved both the wealthy members of the community - enriched by the Russian colonization of Turkestan - and the poorer strata that their circumstances induced to emigrate, to « go up » to Palestine. Several waves were observed before the Russian revolution of 1917. With the implantation of Soviet regime, the Bukharan Jews were faced with a new choice : Sionism or Communism which will generate new emigration streams.
