Russian Jews who are considering immigrating to Germany can call a toll-free number to get legal advice from the Berlin Jewish community there. The hotline was opened by the Berlin office of the World Congress of Russian-speaking Jewry, or VKRE, and will be operational only on the first Monday of each month. VKRE officials said they expect the hotline to be popular with future Russian Jewish immigrants now that Germany’s new immigration rules are going into effect.
