•- Kishinev, Moldavian S.S.R.
• —The relum of several Soviet
Jews who had emigrated to
.-'Israel • has upset the iarge
' Kishinev Jewish community
greatly, according to Jewish
. leaders here. ^ .
V-* "Before many, many people
•.•were sure they wanted to emigrate to Israel, but now they
have serious doubts," one Jew. ish activist here said.
I. "There is considerable feel­
ing' tiow, after we have heard
' first-hand reports about life in
' Israel, that it is not so much a
, Jewish .homeland as a -highly
militarized, typically capitalist
dog-eat-dog ghetto."
-r Emigration from Moldavia, a
• Soviet republic on the Ro' .manian border, is-continuing
with, an estimated 15 families
. leaving every week, but Jew­
ish sources here said that
fewer people are now applying
for exit visas.
• "Fearfal of making mistake"
' "People have become very
fearful of . making a terrible
misrake, a mistake that can
ruin their lives," said one Jew­
ish woman whose husband is
now. seeking to. withdraw his
' emigration application.
""Those who left and found

. time returning. Many.have not

" Israel because they de not

Jews here and in the district
town of Beltsy in northern Mol' davia said these doubts stem
