 | The Biluim came to Eretz Yisrael with high hopes of success as a peasant class, but their enthusiasm was perhaps greater than their agricultural ability. |
| The difference between the charity that sustained the Bilium and the charity that sustained the scholars was that the Bilium used donations for land and agricultural equipment purchases. |
| Unfortunately, something had happened to the Biluim between their arrival in the country and the turn of the 20th century. |

| First Aliyah: Biluim wearing traditional Arab headdress, the keffiyeh. |
| The first group of Biluim was founded by fourteen ex-university students from Kharkov who in July 1882 arrived in Palestine, then an undefined region within the Ottoman Empire which was defined by the historical Jewish homeland. |
| The same month, after an unsuccessful attempt to attend a Jewish farming school in Mikveh Israel, they joined Hovevei Zion pioneers in establishing Rishon LeZion ("First to Zion") as an agricultural cooperative on the purchased lands of the Arab village Eyun Kara. |
