Tel Aviv (JTA) — A ship
carrying 387 immigrants
from the republics that for-
mally constituted the Soviet
Union arrived last week in
the port of Haifa.
It was the second shipload
of immigrants to arrive in
Israel in a week and served
as another reminder of the
days of the Jewish state's
first immigrants, who made
the journey by sea.

Just as on Dec. 26, olim
disembarked from the Greek
passenger liner Mediterra-
nean Sky, which has been
chartered by a British
Evangelical group that be-
lieves the return of the Jew-
ish people to their ancestral
homeland will speed the
coming of the Messiah.
The group is expected to
bring a third shipload of
immigrants here soon.

Eliahu Ben-Haim, an
Israeli consultant to the
British Ebenezer
Evangelical Society, said the
group has chosen to bring
immigrants by ship because
of a verse in Isaiah (60:9),
which reads: "Surely the
isles shall wait for Me, and
the ships of Tarshish first, to
bring thy sons from afar,
their silver and gold with
them."
Mr. Ben-Haim pointed out
that sea passage enables the
immigration of people who
are unable to fly because of
certain ailments.
The organization signed
an agreement that it would
refrain from any missionary
activity among the passen-
gers before, during or after
the ship sets sail. The group
also allowed rabbis to sail
with the passengers, to en-
sure they be fed strictly
kosher food.
The second group of
seaborne olim was smaller
than the first. Ten days
earlier, 447 olim arrived.
Both times, the ship left port
in the Ukrainian city of
Odessa, on the Black Sea.

The latest arrivals seemed
more satisfied than those
who came on the first voy-
age, who made their crossing
during a storm. Their ar-
rangements and baggage,
too, seemed better in this se-
cond crossing.
The ship is not returning
empty, according to Jack
Padwa, one of two Israeli
businessmen involved in the
venture. The Mediterranean
Sky will return to Odessa
with 15 former immigrants
and several dozen tourists.
