The millions of dollars needed to realize this goal are to come from the UJA “Passage to Freedom” Cam paign. Statistics have shown that Soviets who have had the opportunity to visit Israel are far more likely to make aliyah than those who rely on hearsay about the coun try. Increasing travel oppor tunities to Israel could help Israeli efforts to counter Soviet smear campaigns. Since early 1988, approx imately 10,000 Soviet Jewish tourists, representing all age groups and professions, have arrived in Israel at a rate of about 30 per day. Rather than arriving in or ganized groups, they travel via Bucharest, Vienna, Cy prus or Athens, boarding any plane that will honor tickets purchased in Mos cow. Soviets are met by rel atives at Ben Gurion Air port. From there, they travel to relatives’ homes where they will live while in Israel. Visiting Israel is more compUcated for Soviet Jews than bujdng a ticket at the nearest Aeroflot office. Yet, despite bureaucratic and political difficulties they face, many seek to make this Have A Safe & Hapfiy AMERICAN LUNG ASSOOATION ^Discover old and new Jerusalem □/Weef decision makers, military and political leaders □ Ta//f with Israelis from all walks of life 1989 UJA HATIKVAH SUMMER SINGLES MISSION JULY 30-AUGUST 9 Cost of mission includes round-trip airfare*, five-star hotels and most mecUs.

Ironically, most Soviet tourists come with their ideo logical baggage in tow. Their years in the Soviet Union have told them of war in Israeli streets, food shor tages to rival those in the USSR, and an Israeli society that is religiously strict. But still they come. Permission to travel to Israel is given only to those Jews with immediate family there. Without an immediate family member, Soviet Jews are forbidden to apply for a visa, not even to visit friends. The process to ob tain permission is long and costly, requiring Soviets to maintain frequent contact with their Israeli relatives. Jewish Agency tour guides estimate that twenty- five percent of Soviet tour ists ask questions which clearly pertain to their own future absorption in Israel. Approximately one-third of those who tour Israel return to the Soviet Union with visas in hand and plans to make an application for im migration to. Israel at a fu ture date. (cont’d from page 9) have a place to come in and spend some time, and then go back to Eilat.” Patt said another area attraction, which could help keep tourists just one extra day in Eilat, translates into “tens of millions of shekels,” as well as additional employ ment. Toward that end, Patt said his ministry has invest ed $6 million toward an initial fund of $30 million, “mainly to introduce a new phase of tourism in Israel — desert tourism.” The latest attraction at the park is the Timna Center, a gazebo that houses a 140- seat restaurant run by eight members of kibbutz Eli Faz. Outside on the veranda there’s a place for cookouts, and near the lake there are showers for those who stay overnight in tents and sleep ing bags. So the next time someone tells you to go jump in a lake, tell them thanks — Eilat, and head 20 miles north.
