Israel National News: "in 1998, there were about 25,000 Jews in the country including non-members of the community. Presently, the Jewish community has shrunk to 9,000. Jews have left the country, primarily for the United States. Others have gone to Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico and Israel." ~ Sammy Eppel is a member of the governing body of the Venezuelan Jewish community (CAIV).

Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky announced a $1 million fund to strengthen the connection between young South American Jews to Israel and the global Jewish community. Fabian Triskier, the JDC's Latin America director, says, 'Our conclusion is clear: The Jewish community of Latin America is moving forward.'" ~ JTA

Visas are Golden
Don't mean to be alarmist, but Persian Jewish refugees and Venezuelan Jewish refugees, heck, even Korean Jewish refugees and possibly Cuban Jewish refugees desperately seeking Visas is not a far-fetched scenario that organizations should be preparing accordingly for.
