WINTER Special to The Jewish. News I srael is faced with an almost insurmountable task — creating jobs for tens of thousands of skilled Soviet Jewish immigrants. Try as they might, Israeli companies cannot now pro- vide a sufficient number of jobs for the massive aliyah from the Soviet Union. But American Jews can help create new jobs through in- vestments, buying Israeli goods and tourism. Here's how you can make a difference: 1. If you are a manufac- turer, get answers from your associates to these questions: • Can we purchase certain materials or parts from Israel that we are presently buying in other countries? • Can we subcontract to Israel some of the parts we manufacture ourselves? • Can we open a factory in Israel — and thus enjoy 40 percent grants from the government — and use Israel to sell our products to either the U.S. and/or Europe, duty-free? • Can we conduct R&D in Israel using the 50 percent grants offered by the government? • Can we take advantage of Israel's scientific know-how to develop software programs for our company? 2. If you are a retailer, visit Israel to determine whether there are products that you can market in your store — apparel, food, wines, fur- niture, toys, etc. Set up an "Israel Week" and other special promotions in your store. Feature products carry- ing the label, "Made in Israel." 3. If you are a wholesaler or importer, check with Israeli manufacturers who are try- ing to expand their sales into the American marketplace. 4. If you are engaged in research and development, find an R&D program that employs Israelis and Russians by contacting the Chief Scien- tist of Israel, 4 Hamatmid, Jerusalem, or the Bi-National Industrial Research and De- velopment Fund, Israel Economic Office, 350 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10018. Elmer L. Winter is chairman of the Committee for Economic Growth of Israel, 5301 North Ironwood Rd., Milwaukee, Wis., 53217. 5. If you are a lawyer or ac- countant, find out about the many attractive incentives and tax holidays Israel offers to foreign investors. More than 150 American com- panies are successfully operating facilities in Israel. Why can't the company you represent do the same? 6. If you are a stockbroker or investment advisor, follow the activities of the more than 20 Israeli companies whose stocks are being sold on Wall Street, many of which have done remarkably well this year. Consider joining with friends in founding an Israel Investment Club. 7. If you are a member of a synagogue or fraternal order, organize a "Made in Israel" fair. 8. If you participate in the work of your local Jewish federation, suggest the laun- Israeli companies cannot now provide sufficient jobs for the massive Soviet aliyah. American Jews can help create new jobs through investments. ching of an Israel Economic Development Task Force that will study the possibility of buying Israeli products, in- vesting in Israeli enterprises or conducting R&D in Israel. Some further suggestions: 1. Plan to visit Israel in the near future. Take your order book with you if you are in a position to buy products made in Israel. 2. Step up your contribu- tions to your local federation and increase your bond pur- chases. And pay up your pledges now Israel needs cash to offset the high cost of ab- sorbing Soviet Jews. 3. Appoint yourself a one- person PR representative for Israel. Listen to the call-in shows on radio and TV. Make your case for Israel, forcibly and to the point. 4. Answer negative letters to newspaper editors. Let the readers of your local newspapers get Israel's side of the story. This is a critical time for all of us to roll up our sleeves and do everything that we possibly can to expand Israel's economy and defend its political position. ❑
