The Odessa Committee, officially known as the Society for the Support of Jewish Farmers and Artisans in Syria and Eretz Israel, was a charitable Zionist organization in the Russian Empire. The pogroms of 1881-1884 and the May Laws of 1882 gave impetus to mass emigration and political activism among Russian Jews. More than two million of them fled Russia between 1881 and 1920, the vast majority emigrating to the United States. The Tsarist government sporadically encouraged Jewish emigration. In 1882, members of Bilu and Hovevei Zion made what came to be known the First Aliyah to Palestine, then a part of the Ottoman Empire. These organizations were not official. In order to attain a legal recognition, a Jewish organization had to be registered as a charity. In 1890, the authorities approved the establishment of the "Society for the Support of Jewish Farmers and Artisans in Syria and Eretz Israel" based in Odessa (now in Ukraine) and headed by Leon Pinsker dedicated to practical aspects in establishing agricultural Jewish settlements in the Land of Israel.
