“Ever since the establishment of the State everything has been done to save Jews in trouble,” Moshe Rivlin, Jewish Agency general director, told 60 students, United Jewish Appeal activists from the U.S. who ended a six-week study tour of aliya and absorption of Soviet Jewish immigrants. Rivlin added there was not one case where a Jew in trouble was not assisted in aliya wherever it was possible.
The American students began their study tour in the Schoenau Center in Vienna, where they stayed three days with Russian immigrants. They also visited former concentration camps at Dachau and Mauthausen and visited the Jewish community in Rumania. They spent four weeks in Israel, visiting absorption centers and development town.
More than 500 objects found during the archaeological excavations near the Temple Mount during the past five years went on public display in Jerusalem near the Jaffa Gate of the Old City. The exhibition includes a large scale model of the southern edge of the Temple Mount and its approaches, based on the latest archaeological finds. The exhibition is being presented in the context of the country’s 25th anniversary celebrations.
