Soviet Jews

first six months of employ-
ment, seeking skills which
will help them get a promo-
tion.
Sandy Hyman, Reset-
tlement Service director,
said although most Soviet
Jews have been housed in
apartments in Southfield
and Oak Park, a few have
been placed in Farmington
Hills because moderately
priced apartment space is
becoming scarce. Housing,
employment and learning
English are top priorities,
she said.
Although most Soviet
Jews say they are pleased
with the services they get
from the Detroit community,
the refugees are disap-
pointed when expectations
for finding a job are not met,
Hyman said.
Finding employment for
immigrants with specialized
skills that are not
transferable has been
difficult, Canada said. These
include engineers, doctors,
teachers and computer
operators.
"From where I sit I think
we're doing really well,"
Hyman said. "We try to ad-
dress all of their concerns. I
give us an A plus.
"We're trying to learn
from past resettlement
waves," Hyman said.
During the last Soviet
immigration wave 10 years
ago, Hyman said not much
effort was given toward ac-
culturation — a mistake the
Jewish community doesn't
want to repeat.
The influx began last June
when 26 Soviet Jews came to
Detroit. Soviet immigration
to Detroit from June 1989 to
May 1990 peaked in
November when 134
newcomers arrived.
The numbers fluctuated
throughout the year. In
December, 97 Soviet Jews
came to Detroit, but that
dropped to 58 newcomers in
January. It was back up to
97 in February and down to
54 individuals in March.
Twenty-nine individuals
came in April while 30 im-
migrants arrived in May.
The numbers of new ar-
rivals varied so much it
made it hard to know how
many staff people to hire and
the budget was "rewritten
17 times," Hyman said.
Since January 1989, more
than 110,000 Jews have left
the Soviet Union, according
to National Conference on
Soviet Jewry figures.
Emigration figures have
jumped steadily. In the past
two months, almost 21,000
Soviet Jews left.
Almost half of these have
gone to Israel. Since June
1989, 48,339 Soviet Jews
arrived in Israel, according
to the Union of Councils for
Soviet Jews. Last month
alone, more than 10,000
Soviets immigrated to
Israel.
Pat Spiller, the council's
research director and editor,
said the number of Soviet
Jews who went to Israel
began increasing last fall
when the United States en-
forced a limited immigration
policy.
Jewish officials estimate
60,000 Jews have entered
the United States since
January 1989.
In the next three months,
the Hebrew Immigrant Aid
Society expects 40,000
Soviet Jews to arrive in the
United States. 1=1
