Zealand and so choose those
countries. The wait varies
from two months for the
United States, if no problems
exists, to six months or even
a year for Canada or
Australia.
And there are problems,
because glasnost has caused
American authorities to deny
• refugee status to Soviet Jews
in favor of granting parole
status, meaning they must
have a sponsor in the United
States to come here. "And
they can't have U.S. citizen-
ship unless they marry an
American citizen," the rabbi
said.
The Soviet Jews "are so ir-
ritated at, and disappointed
in, the United States — some
have been in Ladispoli six
months already," he said.
"It's not their fault
nobody's claiming them,"
Rabbi Roman said, adding
that the Soviets he visited
would ask him, "What can
you do for me? Can you help
me? Can you call your senator
for me?"
Adding to the Soviet Jews'
anxieties are the facts that
some 300 new emigrants ar-
rive daily in Ladispoli; the
Italian government has no
responsibility for the Soviets
Jews' safety because they're
not citizens and don't have
Italian visas; Romans soon
will be looking for their vaca-
tion residences in Ladispoli
and money for the
transmigration facility — pro-
vided by the American
Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee (JDC) — is runn-
ing low.
Last week, Detroit's Jewish
Welfare Federation voted to
begin a two-month, sup-
plementary campaign to raise
$2.5 million for Soviet Jewish
resettlement. The effort is
part of a special UJA national
campaign, "Passage to
Freedom," to raise $75
million.
Not only are 30,000 to
36,000 Soviet Jews expected
through Ladispoli — a town of
14,000 — this year, but Ira-
nian Jews are coming as well
as Polish, Armenian, Afghan
and Indian immigrants.
Although owners of the
apartments and resort
facilities rented to the im-
migrants are benefiting from
the "found money" in the off-
season, Rabbi Roman said
anti-Semitic posters and signs
give the feeling the Italians
are saying, "Enough already."
In the meantime, he said,
Israel is suffering from a lack
of immigrants as well as a
lack of tourism.
Rabbi Roman said more
American Jews toured the
Soviet Union in 1988 than
toured Israel. "Our UJA mis-

sion was the first this year to
have visited the Leo Baeck
School (a Reform educational
center) in Haifa and only the
second group to visit there
since August, and they're us-
ed to having two to three
goups per week visit them."
Regarding Romania, he
said, "Rabbi Moshe Rosen in
Romania (the country's chief
rabbi) has been able to main-
tain Jewish education,
Jewish spirit, Jewish pride,"
with the . help of President
Nicolae Ceausescu.
During the rabbinical mis-
sion's visit to Romania, "We
saw kids' choirs, adult choirs
— there may be only a half-
dozen Jews left one day in
Romania because most are
leaving. But now they sing
Hebrew songs and maintain
Jewish traditions," Rabbi
Roman said.
Noting he had visited
Poland two years ago and
found it "one vast Jewish
graveyard," Rabbi Roman
said Romania "is not a dying
community — it's not grow-
ing, but it's not depressing to
visit there and the Jewish
community is existing in a
very successful way .
In Romania, an elderly
woman brought out a large
box containing her late hus-
band's kaputa, or chasidic
robe. "It was not given us in
a sad, depressing manner, but
rather with the optimism and
confidence that someone else
will wear it," Rabbi Roman
said.
The Detroit rabbi, whose
family comes from Romania,
had his most intense ex-
perience in that country. "I
saw my daughter's face in a
synagogue choir. It just shows
how the Jewish world con-
nects."
He said he was unable to
find the girl afterward and
never learned if they were
related. But the synagogue
schoolbus had the name
"Roman" above its grill, he
said. 1=1
