Mind you, this special term refers specifically to new immigrants to Israel.

An עולֶה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/עולה-חדש-#.m4a” /] (a male) or an עולָה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/עולה-חדש-#.m4a” /] (female) is someone who has made aliyah – immigrated to Israel (literally, one who ascends). Thus an עולה חדש[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/עולה-חדש-#.m4a” /] or an עולה חדשה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/עולה-חדש-#.m4a” /] is a new immigrant.

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/עולה-חדש-#.m4a” /]פעם היינו עולים חדשים, אבל היום אנחנו אזרחים רגילים.

Once we were new immigrants, but today we’re regular citizens.

An immigrant to a country other than Israel is a מהגר[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/עולה-חדש-#.m4a” /] (male) or מהגרת[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/עולה-חדש-#.m4a” /] (female).
