Israel Is Preparing
For So. African Aliyah

Jerusalem (JTA) — The Jewish
Agency for Israel is poised to re-
spond to any increased interest
in aliyah among South African
Jews in the wake of the African
National Congress' election vic-
tory there.
But it is being careful not to ex-
ploit the uncertainty some South
African Jews feel in the face of
their new and untested black
leadership.
"This is a proper time to re-
assess our way of operating in
South Africa," said Yehiel Leket,
acting chairman of the Jewish
Agency and the World Zionist Or-
ganization.
But he said the Jewish Agency
has "decided to adopt a policy of
emphasizing the attractiveness
of Israel" rather than of "warn-
ing Jews of the potential danger "
So, for instance, the agency is
increasing the number of pilot
trips it offers to Israel for South
Africans considering aliyah.
And meanwhile it has estab-
lished a "situation room" in Tel
Aviv to facilitate up-to-the-
minute monitoring of political de-
velopments in South Africa,
which is home to 110,000 Jews,
including 20,000 native Israelis.
But whether South African
Jews will begin flocking to Israel
remains unclear.
On the one hand, the transi-
tion to democratic, majority rule
and the end of Pretoria's diplo-
matic isolation may usher in a

Some Israeli
officials feel that
any aggressive
lobbying for aliyah is
inappropriate.

new era of stability, one in which
Jews feel they can "contribute to
the upbuilding of a new South
Africa," said Mr. Leket.
On the other hand, aliyah from
South Africa has already in-
creased from 200 newcomers in
1992 to a projected 1,200 in 1994.
This is a "significant sign that
many people feel it's the right
time to come to Israel," he said.
Mr. Leket's sanguine approach
to South African aliyah under the
new regime contrasts with pro-
nouncements by Hanan Ben-
Yehuda, the Jewish Agency
treasurer and chairman of its
Committee for South African Af-
fairs.

Some Israeli officials have said
that any aggressive "lobbying' for
emigration from South Africa
now, in the wake of the victory
for democratic principles, is in-
appropriate.
Mr. Leket said the Jewish
Agency is working "in full coop-
eration with the government of
Israel, and there is no contradic-
tion between our policy (of aliyah)
and the good relations we (Israel)
have to develop with South
Africa."
There is no atmosphere of pan-
ic among the Jews nor a sudden
increase in aliyah. Nonetheless,
there is a substantial increase in
the number of people making se-
rious inquiries about emigrating
for Israel.
Mr. Leket told Ambassador
Liel he wishes the new South
African government well and
hopes for a continued strength-
ening of relations between Israel
and South Africa.

Youths Nabbed
In Firebombing

Berlin (JTA) — Four young men
have been arrested as suspects
in an arson attack five weeks ago
against a synagogue in the north-
ern city of Lubeck. The men will
be charged with attempted mur-
der and arson.
The four suspects range in age
from 19 to 24. Hatred of foreign-
ers and Jews prompted the at-
tack, which was planned a few
hours before it was perpetrated,
the Federal Prosecutor's Office
said in a statement.
Early on March 25, the four al-
legedly threw two Molotov cock-
tails into the entrance of the
building which houses the syn-
agogue and then ran away.
Five people who live above the
synagogue were asleep at the
time. They were alerted by neigh-
bors who heard glass breaking
and discovered the fire in its ear-
ly stage. No one was hurt and
only slight damage was caused
to the synagogue.
According to a local newspaper
in Lubeck, the four who were ar-
rested live in a city district known
as a stronghold of extreme right-
wing parties.
Following the arson attack,
thousands marched in Lubeck
and other cities against hatred of
foreigners and Jews.
Last week, 100 German artists
opened an exhibit in Lubeck to
raise money for repairing the syn-
agogue. The organizers said the
exhibition is "a sign of solidarity
with our Jewish neighbors."
