Aliyah Down
Focus On Youth

Jerusalem (JTA) — In an
effort to bolster sagging
aliyah from the former
Soviet republics, the Jewish
Agency has announced a
new, youth-oriented
strategy.
/—
"We will now stress in-
novative programs for pro-
moting aliyah among young
adults and teen-agers," Sim-
cha Dinitz, chairman of the
agency's Executive, said
after his recent trip to the
region.
During the first four mon-
ths of 1992, aliyah from the
former Soviet republics has
dropped an alarming 60 per-
cent from the same period
last year.
From Jan. 1 to April 30, a
total of 20,079 Jews im-
migrated here from the re-
publics, compared to 50,146
during the same period last
year, according to figures
compiled by the Soviet
Jewry Research Bureau of
the National Conference on
Soviet Jewry in New York.
In April, a total of 5,629
people immigrated to Israel,
including 4,696 from the
Soviet successor states. This
represents a 10 percent
decrease in overall aliyah
from March, when 6,274
olim came, among them
4,913 Soviets.
Total aliyah in April was
only a third of the April 1991
total, while the number of
olim from the former Soviet
republics was just over a
quarter of the 1991 figure.
In New York, the Hebrew
Immigrant Aid Society re-
ported that 3,011 Jews from
the former Soviet republics
immigrated to the United
States in April, bringing the
total for the first seven mon-
ths of the 1992 fiscal year to
26,184.
Experts agree that
difficult economic conditions
in Israel coupled with new
property ownership laws in
the former Soviet republics
have led to the slowdown in
aliyah.
Realizing that Israel's
high rate of unemployment
has dissuaded many adults
from making aliyah, the
Jewish Agency has decided
to focus its energies on en-
couraging immigration
> among the younger genera-
tion.
This summer, for example,
the agency will sponsor
summer camps throughout
the republics. About 6,000
youths are expected to at-
tend the camps, whose em-
phasis will be Jewish cul-
ture, Hebrew-language
courses and aliyah.
