JERUSALEM (JTA) --
Jewish communities in the
Diaspora will be asked to
raise $500 million over the
next five years to help finance Israel's absorption of
Jewish immigrants from the
Soviet Union.
The sum would represent
the Diaspora share of a $2
billion master plan to create
the housing, jobs and infrastructure needed to absorb an
estimated 100,000 Soviet
Jews expected to immigrate
to Israel in the next three
years.
The plan was incorporated
into a wide-ranging agreement reached by the Israeli
fovernment and the Jewish
gency for Israel at a meeting of their joint Coordinating Committee here recently.
The Diaspora share will
come from the proceeds of
the United Jewish Appeal in
the United States and the
Keren Hayesod elsewhere in
the world.
The $500 million will be
raised over and above regular campaigning for domestic and overseas needs,
and will not cut into the separate local campaigns for
Project Renewal, the United
Jewish Appeal-financed rehabilitation program for
economically depressed
localities in Israel.
The remaining $1.5 billion
is to come from the Israeli
