Not all immigrants from the former Soviet Union are living an austere life in Israel.
More of them are buying cars than apartments, and a few can afford both, according to a survey by the Tazpit Research Institute.
The survey, taken in March, found that 19 percent of the approximately 350,000 former Soviet Jews who have come to Israel since 1989 owned cars. That is nearly 50 percent more than owned cars last October.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
