TOM TUGEND Special to the Jewish News L os Angeles — As the favorite destination of waves of legal and il- legal immigrants from Latin America and the Far East, Los Angeles has been dubbed the new Ellis Island. Jewish immigrants, in smaller streams and from other parts of the world, have also been attracted to Southern Calif- ornia and the Jewish com- munity is now trying to cope with the needs and integra- tion of the newcomers. Four main groups make up the bulk of Jewish immi- grants during the past 13 years, according to a recent- ly completed study by a special task force of the Metropolitan Region of the L.A. Jewish Federation Council. The groups consist of Jews from the Soviet Union, who number about 14,000; from South Africa, approximately 2,000 in Los Angeles and neighboring Orange counties, and another 500 in San Diego; and from Iran, be- tween 15,000 and 30,000. The task force found it hardest to get a fix on the number of Israelis living in Los Angeles, with "authoritative" estimates ranging from a low of 10,000 to a high of 120,000. The total Jewish popula- tion of Greater Los Angeles is 550,000. But given the low birth rate and high level of in- termarriage, the newcomers have been a strong factor in maintaining the numerical strength and relative youth- fulness of the community. In this light, a major aim of the task force's findings is to harness the immigrants to communal endeavors, includ- ing social, religious and charitable activities. Other goals, according to the task force report, are "to provide services which ad- dress (the newcomers') needs and problems" and "increase appreciation of the positive impact which immigrants have on our community." Although the four groups face diverse barriers to ad- justment and integration in the New World, the demo- graphers, social workers, lay leaders and spokesmen for the newcomers on the task force listed three Overriding priorities on the immigrants' agenda: help in finding jobs, help in learning English (ex- cept the South Africans), and help in financing a Jewish education for their children. The focus of the task force study was not on the newest newcomers, but on immi- grants who arrived in Amer- ica during the last three to seven years, according to Bobbi Asimow, assistant di- rector of the M _ etropolitan Region. Soviet Jews started coming to Los Angeles in the mid '70s and appear to have had the most difficulty in finding suitable jobs and in becoming part of the community. Their spokesmen were the most re- luctant to meet with the task force, due perhaps to their poor English but more likely because of the deeply in- grained distrust of all "governmental" bodies, an at- titude justifiably formed in their native country. That suspicion has also kept them from joining Jew- ish organizations, except for a Pioneer Women chapter made up entirely of Soviet Jews, or from contributing to communal fund drives. By contrast, the South Africans have had the easiest time of it. They have no language problem, are readily accepted, and, after some struggle, can usually find pro- fessional positions similar to the ones they left behind. The South Africans are also helped by a strong tradi- tion of communal involve- ment and synagogue affili- ation. However, leaders of SA- JAC (South African Jewish American Community) warn that the anticipated next wave of their Jewish country- men will arrive with fewer financial and occupational resources and may need help from the larger community. The Israelis stand some- where between the Russians and the South Africans. Since they take their Jewishness for granted, Israelis see no need to join community groups or synagogues, notes the report, and adds: "In fact, (the Israelis) often resent paying dues to attend religious services or being asked to make contributions to the Jewish community, since this was not the custom in Israel!' However, there is some organized bonding among Israelis, as in the Hebrew- speaking Shalom Lodge of B'nai B'rith, the Israeli Business and Professional Group, and an Israeli Boy Scout troop. In addition, the report continues, many Is- raelis are anxious to enroll their children in Jewish day schools, but need financial help in the form of schol- arships. The first groups of Jews arriving from Iran were well- to-do businessmen but recent waves have been quite poor. They are continuing to come, and some 400 are expected this year, more than settled last year, says Ethel Taft of the Jewish Family Service. Iranian Jews bring with them a history of communal
