aliyah from the former
Soviet Union is down overall
so far this year, it has been
on the rise in Ukraine.
There were 3,500 olim
from Ukraine this year, up
from 2,696 in last year's first
quarter, according to Jewish
Agency Director-General
Arnon Mantver's office.
Both Mr. Gur and Mr.
Mantver said this pattern
would continue as a result of
the economic and political
state of crisis in the country.
With regard to aliyah from
the former Soviet Union in
general, Jewish Agency offi-
cials said they are expecting
roughly the same number of
immigrants this year as last,
despite the slight downturn
so far in 1994.
They are anticipating ap-
proximately 60,000 new ar-
rivals from the former Soviet
Union by the end of this
year, as compared to 66,000
in 1993.
Emigration from Russia
dropped from 4,766 in the
first quarter of last year to
2,230 in the same period this
year.
Prospective emigrants are
"not in a rush," but are try-
ing to gauge the unstable po-
litical situation and the
economic reforms, said Mr.
Gur.
Mr. Gur noted there has
also been a temporary slow-
down from Central Asia,
particularly in Uzbekistan,
because there was a severe
winter and because there
was a shortage of local cur-
rency and people could not
sell their homes.
They had also heard that a
new regulation would allow
them to take out unlimited
amounts of money and
wanted to wait and see
whether it would be put into
effect, said Mr. Gur.
In fact, he said, the new
rule is in place, and the
numbers arriving in Israel
have started to increase as of
this month.
Immigration to the United
States from the former
Soviet Union dropped during
the first quarter, as com-
pared to the same period last
year.
So far this year, 7,946
Jews arrived in the United
States, according to the Heb-
rew Immigrant Aid Society.
In last year's first quarter
the total stood at 9,283. O
I prefer the wicked, who
knows that he is wicked, to
the righteous, who regards
himself as righteous. . .He
who feels that he is a tzadik
is thereby no longer a tzadik.
