THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
PRESENTING THE NEW ONE WAY FARE
FROM RUSSIA TO ISRAEL. $15,000.
And we're not talking about traveling first class.
$15,000 a person is approximately what it costs to bring a Soviet Jew
from Russia to be resettled in ISrael. Provided, of course, they're
permitted to leave. -
And if we're talking about resettling a family of four, you do the
arithmetic.
The cost of bringing Soviet Jews into our community and resettling
them has nearly doubled in the last five years. And this year, the
Resettlement Service is expecting 500 immigrants, more-than twice the
number who arrived in Detroit last year.
The agencieS of our Jewish Welfare Federation will be called upon to
feed and house them, to provide medical care and to help in the search for
jobs, to teach them English and to give their children a Jewish education.
This once was an immigrant community. We understand. And
whatever it takes to help those who need our-help —in Detroit, in Israel and
elsewhere abroad — we shall not fail. Because wherever we are,
we are one.
1979: A year of Jewish renewal at home and overseas.
