work). That, however, is 10 times
what they could expect at home,
and after several years work they
are able to fly back to Bucharest
with enough money to buy the
land, tractor and cows that will
subsequently permit them to
support themselves and their
families.
Not everyone is
upset about Israel's
flood of Rumanian
workers.
They live very frugally while
in Israel, but, collectively they
have considerable buying power.
Many enterprises that once
catered to veteran Israelis are
now catering primarily to the Ru-
manians.
Take, for example, the shop on
Rehovot's main street which, un-
til recently, sold high-priced spe-
cialty breads to local yuppies.
While the specialty breads are
still around, most of the yuppies
are not. They don't like mixing
with the Rumanians who come
in to buy the new products the
shop now stocks: standard
(cheap) bread, beer, sausages and
cigarettes. Likewise available are
the phone cards the building
workers require for calling home.
That shop is run by Yossie
Perlman. Though a Sabra, he
learned Rumanian from his par-
ents. He not only sells goods to
the building workers, but also
acts as a one-man social service
bureau.
He translates documents, ex-
plains where doctors and medi-
cines are available, suggests how
to deal with employers who with-
hold wages and arranges for odd
jobs. Yossie mainly counts on
word-of-mouth advertising to at-
tract more customers, but for
good measure he has posted a rc,
large Rumanian-language sign
at the entrance to his shop, a sign
which reads "Big reductions to
workers from Rumania."
A take-away service is in op-
eration as well. Not infrequent-
ly, Yossie will bring five or ten
cases of beer directly to a build-
ing site in the area.
Impresarios have also gotten
into the act. Just recently, for ex-
ample, some of Rumania's lead-
ing entertainers were brought
here for appearances up and
down the country. The Ruman-
ian building workers thorough-
ly enjoyed hearing the songs and
watching the dances of their na-
tive land, but the entertainment
left them with a feeling of home-
sickness, which not even a half-
dozen bottles of beer could
assuage.
