sions. The Agency and its
bitter rival, the Absorption
Ministry, are still as divided
as ever over the allocation of
funds for immigrants, but a
new effort to resolve these
differences is expected.
However, absorption
workers are warning that
the serious failures of 1984-
85, when the whole absorp-
tion infrastructure suffered
on the arrival of 10,000 Eth-
iopians, are likely to be re-
peated on a much bigger
scale this time, with as
many as 35,000 Russian
Jews, 5,000-7,000 Ethiopi-
ans, and thousands of Ira-
nian and Argentinian Jews
expected to immigrate to Is-
rael in the next 12 months.
Over the past two years,
about 1,000 elderly Ethiopi-
an Jews have been permit-
ted to join their families in
Israel, but strict curbs on
younger potential im-
migrants remained in force.
Jewish. Agency chairman
Simcha Dinitz said this
week that the separation of
Ethiopian Jewish families
was leading to an absorption
disaster of tragic propor-
tions, and that the news of
the easing of curbs on emi-
gration from Ethiopia can be
regarded as a timely miracle.
There have been a number
of cases of suicide among
Ethiopian Jews in Israel
these last few years result-
ing from severe depression
over being separated from
loved ones.
But on the whole, and de-
spite the severe traumas
faced by the thousands who
fled Ethiopia and were res-
cued, their integration into
Israeli society has been rela-
tively successful.
Hundreds of Ethiopian
Jews are now enrolled in in-
stitutions of higher learning,
and scores of Ethiopian im-
migrants serve in the top
elite units of the Israel De-
fense Forces.
In some cases, though, it
has taken as long as five or
six years to arrange for
permanent housing for Eth-
iopian immigrants. The
large family of Aveve
Worku, for example, has
just moved from crowded
rooms in a run- down ab-
sorption center to a luxury
apartment in a tall new
building overlooking the Ne-
tanya beach. The four- room
apartment, worth about
$85,000, was given to the
family by the Jewish Agen-
cy.
Aveve, an elderly matri-
arch, now believes that she
will be reunited with her
other children who were left
behind in Ethiopia. "Before
