According to a staff member of the
Department of Information and Publication of the Absorbtion
Ministry and Jewish Agency of Israel, the Aliya Pocket Guide
is now in its 8th edition and was probably in its 4th edition in
1991 (20 June 1995). The source added that to the best of her
knowledge, the Aliya Pocket Guide has been available in
Russian at the Israeli consulate in Moscow and at the 11
information centres in the Soviet Union and the successor states
since 1991.
This Response was prepared after
researching publicly accessible information currently available to
the DIRB within time constraints. This Response is not, and does
not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular
claim to refugee status or asylum.
