Federations May Back
Loans For Soviet Olim
New York (JTA) — North
American Jewish federa-
tions are considering a pro-
gram in which they would
guarantee loans made to
Soviet immigrants to Israel
that would be intended to
cover part of their initial ab-
sorption expenses there.
A memo circulated recent-
ly by the heads of the Coun-
cil of Jewish Federations de-
scribes this proposal, which
is now being discussed by
federation leaders. CJF did
not feel it was appropriate to
comment on the proposal un-
til those deliberations have
been completed.
The loans would replace
part of the assistance now
provided in cash to new im-
migrants by the Jewish
Agency for Israel, whose
programs are funded by
money raised in the United
States by federations in con-
junction with the United
Jewish Appeal and by
money raised in other coun-
tries by Keren Hayesod.
The loans would be made
to the new immigrants by
commercial banks in Israel
and would be guaranteed by
the federations. The loans
would not be made available
to "the elderly, the han-
dicapped or those without
the potential to repay," ac-
cording to the proposal.
"These groups would receive
the funds as grants as at
present."
Until mid-1990, the Jew-
ish Agency funded half of
the "absorption basket" of
cash and services received
by immigrant families dur-
ing their first year in Israel,
with the government of
Israel paying the other half.
The Jewish Agency's por-
tion was later cut to 25 per-
cent and will probably be cut
even more, because of a cash
drain caused by the ac-
celerated aliyah from the
Soviet Union. The agency
pays the entire cost of
transporting the immigrants
to Israel.
The total value of each
family's "absorption basket"
stood at 22,000 shekels early
last year, but was later cut
by the Finance Ministry to
18,000 shekels, and then to
15,000 shekels. At today's
exchange rate, that means a
drop from $10,846 to $7,395.
The proposal to provide
part of this assistance
through loans instead of
grants arose as part of the
preparations by federations
and the UJA to provide $1.2
billion over the next three to
five years for the aliyah and
absorption of 1 million
Soviet Jews in Israel.
This is in addition to the
$600 million being raised by
world Jewry at the present
time through Operation Ex-
odus, and to the amounts
raised for the Jewish Agency
in the regular UJA and fed-
eration campaigns.
The $1.2 billion figure
reflects what the Jewish
Agency needs to cover
transportation and shipping
expenses, and some initial
absorption costs for 1 million
Soviet immigrants.
Part of this sum will be
provided through a spec-
ial fund-raising campaign,
known informally as
"Exodus II," while the rest
will be raised as grants or
loans.
Jewish Agency leaders in
Israel estimate that the
target for "Exodus II," to be
launched later this year, will
be $1 billion, the bulk of
which will be raised by UJA
and the local federations.
Federation sources,
however, believe that the
amount to be raised through
conventional philanthropy
will be considerably less and
will probably be close to the
$600 million goal of the cur-
rent Exodus campaign.
Vandals Deface
Toronto Shuls
Toronto (JTA) — Two
Toronto-area synagogues
and two other Jewish in-
stitutions were defaced with
anti-Israel graffiti Jan. 17 at
about the time that Iraq was
firing SCUD missiles at
Israel.
The vandalism appears to
have been the work of one
person or group. The Cana-
dian Jewish Congress has
offered a $5,000 reward,
Karen Mock, national di-
rector of the League for
Human Rights of B'nai
B'rith Canada, said slogans
that appeared to be related
to the Palestine Liberation
Organization were sprayed
across the windows, doors
and outside walls of Beth
David Synagogue, Pride of
Israel Synagogue and the
AssOciated Hebrew School.
The North Jewish Com-
munity Center, which
houses the CJC, was also a
target.
The wall of the Jewish
center was painted with the
words "PLO/Hussein. Israel
No."
