Ultra-Orthodox Luring
Soviet Kids, Says Paper

Jerusalem (JTA) — Ultra-
Orthodox groups are trying
to gain control of the chil-
dren of Soviet immigrants
and alienate them from their
non-observant parents, ac-
cording to a report in
Hadashot.
The newspaper cited the
complaints of two families,
who said they were persuad-
ed to send their youngsters
to ultra-Orthodox boarding
schools as part of the direct
absorption process. Under
that process, olim are sent to
their own apartments in-
stead of to absorption
centers and study Hebrew at
ulpanim, where they get in-
tensive language instruc-
tion.
The director general of the
Absorption Ministry, Rabbi
Aharon Lapidot, said the
ministry "does not en-
courage the immigrants to
send their children to the
ultra- Orthodox educational
system."
Yisrael and Rosa Gedayev,
who recently arrived in
Israel from the Soviet
Union, reported that five of
their six children are now
living in yeshivot away from
home.
"When they knocked on
our door a day after our ar-
rival and offered to give the
children a good education,
we thought it was a good
idea," the couple said.
They said the man who
came to them painted a rosy
picture of how they would
study Hebrew at the ulpan
without having to worry

about their children, who
would be getting a good Jew-
ish education.
"The problem is that now,
a few weeks later, the chil-
dren don't want to come
home, because in the ultra-
Orthodox school they have
told them we are no good,"
Yisrael Gedayev said.
According to the news-
paper, some parents have
been forbidden to visit their
children for the first three or
four weeks, "in order not to
disturb their concentration."
Lida Shimonov, another
recent arrival from the
Soviet Union, said a "beard-
ed man" came to her door
while she was still settling
in her apartment. He want-
ed to talk about her 10-year-
old son's education, she said.
The boy is now living at an
ultra-Orthodox yeshiva.
The Aboorption Ministry
and the Education Ministry,
meanwhile, have reached
agreement to enable the es-
tablishment of ultra-
Orthodox ulpanim.
They will have to meet
adult education standards
set by the Education Min-
istry, which will supervise
the selection of teachers and
learning materials.
No new ulpanim of any
sort have been opened in
Jerusalem despite the up-
surge of immigration in re-
cent months. The reason is
that only a small percentage
of the newcomers go to
Jerusalem, according to
Avraham Tsivion of the Ed-
ucation Ministry.

Washington (JTA) -- Secre-
tary of State James Baker
said recently the United
States has done all it can to
advance the peace process in
the Middle East, and that it
is now up to Israel to take
the next step.
"We've really done pretty
much all we can do, we
think, from our end, and we
are awaiting a response from
the Israeli government,"
Baker told a House Ap-
propriations subcommittee
hearing.
Another State Department
Middle East expert was
questioned by the subcom-
mittee whether Israel and
the Palestinians are com-
mitted to making the tough
choices needed to advance
current peace efforts.

"In our view, the question
right now is essentially
whether the parties them-
selves have the political will
to continue in the process,"
said Peter Eicher, deputy di-
rector of the department's
Office of Egyptian Affairs.

Eicher, who is in touch
with Egypt, the main diplo-
matic channel between the
Palestinians and the United
States, spoke at a panel
discussion on "Palestine:
The Peace Process," spon-
sored by the National
Association of Arab Ameri-
cans.
The United States has
devised "a simple agenda"
for Palestinian-Israeli talks
"which focuses on elections
and practical progress."
