Recently:

The Jews brought themselves to Israel. They chose to realize their vision of creating a Jewish State.

There were some cases where the push factors were very strong as well. In Post-Holocaust Europe as well as the Arab States, Jews were made to feel extremely unwelcome. However, no country attempted to subsidize or direct Jewish movements towards Israel.

In ancient times:

Zerubavel led the first group who returned to Judea, near the end of the Babylonian exile. The main group was brought by Ezra a couple of decades later.

When did Abraham live Judaism?

To call Abraham a Jew is a bit anachronistic. Abraham is indeed the first patriarch of the Jewish people, but the term Jew as a reference to any member of the people now called Jewish was first used in the Book of Esther in the Bible. Later in Jewish history, there was a tendency to project Jewish practice back on the patriarchs, so you could say that after the Babylonian Exile, the Jewish community as a whole started considering Abraham to be a Jew. Before the exile, tribal identities were more important, and the collective terms "am Israel" (people of Israel) or "benei Israel" (children of Israel) were used to refer collectively to the 12 tribes. Recall that Israel was the name assumed by Abraham's son Jacob after the incident at the ford of Jabbok.
