Abstract:

Emigres from the Former Soviet Union form the largest single group of Jewish immigrants to the United States during the past 50 years. While our goal of rescue may nearly be achieved, our commitment to redemption—to resettlement and to sustaining the lives of the emigres in our communities—must continue.
