i must sa i amaazed by this forum...lets see...i moved to canada when i was 13. from the ussr. went to a jewish school, summer camp, did the yearly "walk to jerusalem" collected money for various israeli organizations (rebuild the north, idf wounded, orphans etc). as far as i know, trumpeldor, jabotinski, dayan, peres, etc, etc, are from russia. how dare some of you paint an entire alyah with such colors? mafia? are famous israeli criminals russian? don`t think so. how about well publicized embezzlers, drug dealers that sold teir soul for money to the hezbollah? russian? don`t think so. oh, maybe igal amir was russian? or rabbis that say that you cannot pick your nose on shabbat?
People, where is your humanity? did you know, for example, that recently an israeli tied for 2nd place in the world chess championship? did you know that he emigrated to israel from belarus 9 years ago? open your minds and your hearts, Israel.
