Fewer Soviets
Entered U.S.

Washington (JTA) —
Although some 6,000 fewer
Soviet Jews entered the
United States as refugees in
1990 than the year before,
this temporary slowdown is
believed to be over.
A steady flow of 4,000
Soviet Jews a month is ex-
pected for 1991, said Karl
Zukerman, executive vice
president of BIAS, the Heb-
rew Immigration Aid Socie-
ty.
Mr. Zukerman said the
number of Soviet Jewish
refuges arriving in the
United States in 1990 to-
taled about 32,000, com-
pared with 36,738 in 1989.
But this total is somewhat
misleading, Mr. Zukerman
said, since the figure is for
the calendar year, while the
50,000 slots Washington has
set aside for refugees from
the Soviet Union are based
on the fiscal year, which
begins Oct. 1. Of this
number, 40,000 slots are
specifically for Soviet Jews.
The number of Soviet Jew-
ish refugees arriving in the
United States at the end of
the 1990 fiscal year on Sept.
30 was 39,019.
The lower 1990 calendar
year figure was due partly to
a change of procedure in-
stituted by the U.S. govern-
ment in October 1989 in
which all requests for refu-
gee status would be process-
ed in Moscow, eliminating
the former sites in Rome and
Vienna.
Before the United States
stopped granting automatic
refugee status to Soviet Jew-
ish emigrants, the over-
whelming majority came to
the United States despite
leaving on Israeli visas.
Since then, the flow has been
largely to Israel, with more
than 180,000 making aliyah
in 1990.

JCRC New York
Wins Law Suit

New York (JTA) — The
New York State Supreme
Court has upheld a lower
court's ruling that the Heb-
rew-Christian missionary
group Jews for Jesus was not
a victim of discrimination
when a Jewish communal
agency circulated a warning
about its activities.
The unanimous decision
by the Supreme Court's Ap-
pellate Division last week
ended six years of litigation
that began when Jews for
Jesus filed suit against the
Jewish Community Rela-
tions Council of New York in
1985.
