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."
