Golah
Golahrefers to theJewish diasporacommunity. While sharing the same Hebrew letters as the termgalut,the terms are not interchangeable: whilegolahrefers to the diaspora itself (and thus, to those who do reside in such a state), the termgalutrefers to the process of residing in diaspora (that is, to be extricated, or to make voluntaryyerida,from the land of Israel), and is mostly synonymous with the English wordexile.
The termsgolahandgalut,however, are the object of controversy within Jewish literature and Jewish politics, as they have become most prominently used since the 20th century withinZionismin its ideological promotion of thenegation of the Diaspora.[1][2][3][4]
