No place like home... Sat., December 18, 2004 Tevet 6, 5765 Report: Germany to stop accepting ex-Soviet Jews By Reuters BERLIN - Germany is to stop offering unlimited immigration to Jews from Russia and eastern Europe from Jan. 1, 2006, ending a policy it launched with the collapse of the Soviet bloc, German newspapers reported on Saturday. Germany began offering Jews from the former Soviet bloc the right to settle in the country in 1991 to help rebuild its own Jewish communities, devastated by the country's Nazi regime. Some 190,000 Jews had taken up the offer by the end of 2003. But the fact that the number of ex-Soviet Jews coming to Germany has in recent years been higher than the number going to Israel had led to a policy rethink, the newspapers said. Berliner Zeitung reported around 9,400 ex-Soviet Jews were expected to come to Germany this year, exceeding the number settling in Israel by more than 1,000 for the first time. The newspaper said also Berlin's Jewish Community was under financial pressure because more than three-quarters of immigrant Jews were reliant on welfare payments. Germany's Interior Ministry was not immediately available for comment. New rules will mean those applying to come to Germany will have to show knowledge of German and be under 45 years old. They will also not be eligible for social aid, the paper said. Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung cited a ministry official saying Germany's 16 states and federal government agreed on Thursday to draw up new rules for Jewish immigrants. The ministry declined to say if the new rules would restrict immigration, the newspaper said. haaretz.com
