"Such groups in Israel,
supported by similar
units in the cities from
which olim have emi-

catalysts for a smoother
absorption," Kotlowitz
said. "Experience has
taught us that the
smoothest absorption

Kotlowitz told Israel
Aliya Center shlikhim to
urge their communities to
establish support groups
and that his Jerusalem
office will enact a similar
plan.

Berman, whose Israel
Aliya Center is responsible
for servicing all of Michi-
gan, all of Indiana, Toledo,
Ohio and Windsor, Ontario,
Canada, said Kotlowitz told
him that he planned to
name ombudsmen for olim

Kotlowitz said that he

effort to urge the absorption
ministry to establish pro-
grams for singles and re-
tirees "in a serious manner
that will encourage these
two groups of Jews to im-
migrate to Israel in greater
numbers."
