      ab: A study explored aspects of the intercultural encounter in the marriages between Israeli-born Jews and recent immigrants from the former Soviet Union (FSU). Data were obtained from interviews with 18 intermarried couples in Central Israel; the wives were the immigrants in 12 of the couples and the husbands were immigrants in 6 of the couples. Findings revealed that immigrant spouses experience an inexorable drift toward the hegemonic cultural identity and lifestyle, or “Israelization,” often at the expense of cutting ties with their culture of origin. Findings suggested that for many, this transformation was voluntary and desirable, albeit not without qualms. Findings and implications are discussed in detail.
