Million Soviet Jews Expected In Israel ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (JTA) - One million Soviet Jews so far have received permission to emigrate, and Israel is expected to absorb them over the next three years, according to Simcha Dinitz, chairman of the World Zionist Organization and Jewish Agency Executives. In addition, Israel expects at least 10,000 Romanian Jews to immigrate this year and thousands more from Ethiopia, Argentina and other Latin American countries, Dinitz said. His disclosure was the first from an authoritative Israeli source since Israel announced two weeks ago that it was imposing a blackout on aliyah figures as a protective measure. The WZO leader addressed more than 400 young American Jews here recently at the first Kesher Conference of the WZO's aliyah department. Dinitz said there were 20,000 Jews in Romania and 60,000 still living in Ethiopia. He did not specify how many Ethiopian Jews were expected in Israel this year, but indicated a number already have arrived. The increase is attributed to the warming relations between Israel and Ethiopia, which restored diplomatic ties in November. W.

"It is the task of every local church to promote cooperation between Christians and Jews," the Pope was quoted as telling the delegation, which included top officials of the American Jewish Committee. Y NEW YORK, (JTA)-Sen. Alfonse D'Amato (R-N.Y.) delivered a verbal spanking to the American Jewish community last week, chastising it for being "silent" and "complacent" in the face of threats of reduced support for Israel from the U.S. government.
