Pace Of Soviet
Aliya Picks Up
Jerusalem (JTA) — The
pace of aliyah from the
Soviet Union picked up
quickly as the fighting end-
ed in the Persian Gulf.
During the final five days
of February, about 500
Soviet immigrants per day
arrived in Israel, about twice
the daily rate during the
first five weeks of the war.
But war jitters brought the
monthly immigration total
for February down to 7,164
Soviet Jews, according to the
Jewish Agency for Israel.
That is just over half the
number of Soviet Jews who
arrived in January and not
even a fourth of the record
35,000 who arrived in
December.
Concern about the Iraqi
missile attacks on Israel,
however, did not deter a
large number of Ethiopian
Jews from immigrating last
month. Aliyah from Ethi-
opia totaled 1,100, the
highest rate since the end of
Operation Moses six years
ago.
According to the National
Conference on Soviet Jewry
in New York, February's
immigration figures bring
Soviet Jewish aliyah for
1991 so far to 20,524. The
Jewish Agency and the
ISraeli government expect
some 300,000 Soviet Jews to
arrive by the end of the year.
On March 4, HIAS re-
ported that 1,713 Soviet
Jews immigrated to the
United States last month, up
from 1,300 in January.
Scuds May Have
Survived War
Jerusalem (JTA) — Israeli
military sources believe a
number of mobile Iraqi Scud
missile launchers may have
survived the Persian Gulf
war unscathed.
According to the sources,
all 30 stationary launchers
were wiped out by American
and allied bombers before
they could fire a single mis-
sile.
But Iraq also had 20 to 30
mobile launchers before the
war started on Jan. 17, some
in the south and some in
western Iraq, from where
they were used against
Israel.
Only 6 percent of the
110,000 allied sorties flown
during the war were aimed
at the mobile launchers in
western Iraq, the sources
said.
The 39 Scuds that hit
Israel carried conventional
high- explosive warheads.

It is with deep disappointment
that we announce the cancellation of
The Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra
Benefit Concert.
This performance, featuring Misha Dichter,
was to have taken place on Israel's Independence Day,
April 17, 1991, at Orchestra Hall.
To those of you who rallied to support Israel and Hebrew University
by purchasing tickets, we thank you! We hope to offer you another
such opportunity in the near future.
