FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1991
Jerusalem (JTA) — The
unexpectedly high rate of
emigration from the Soviet
Union this month has aliyah
officials elated. But
economists are alarmed by
fast-rising unemployment
among the newcomers.
The good news is that
aliyah from the Soviet
Union is on the upswing,
despite predictions of a fall-
ing-off after new Soviet
passport regulations took
effect July 1.
Under the new rules, any-
one can leave the Soviet
Union; but those leaving
must now have passports.
The new demand was ex-
pected to bog down the inex-
perienced Soviet bureau-
cracy, delaying emigration
for months, if not years.
But immigrant arrivals
reached a rate of 350 a day
during the past week, Sim-
cha Dinitz, chairman of the
Jewish Agency and World
Zionist Organization Ex-
ecutives, reported to the
WZO Executive here last
week.
About 500 Soviet Jews
arrived here over the
weekend and another 500
landed Monday, raising the
total to more than 10,000 so
far this month.
Mr. Dinitz predicted the
upward trend would con-
tinue. About 1 million Soviet
Jews have obtained Israeli
affidavits, he reported.
About 100,000 of them al-
ready have exit visas, half of
them for Israel, he said.
"The aliyah potential
stands at 1.5 million Jews,
and we continue to prepare
ourselves to bring them to
Israel as early as possible,"
the Jewish Agency chair-
man said.
The Jewish Agency
presently has about 83
emissaries in the Soviet
Union.
He said the Polish au-
thorities had assured him at
a meeting in Warsaw last
week that Poland will assist
in the movement of Soviet
Jewish emigrants, partly by
instituting special night
flights.
In contrast to Mr. Dinitz's
rosy picture, the latest fig-
ures published by Bank
Leumi economists showed a
42 percent unemployment
rate among new immi-
grants.
Absorption Minister Yit-
zhak Peretz predicted there
will be 150,000 jobless Jews
in the country by the end of
the year.
