Between 1989 and 1995, more than a half million immigrants arrived in Israel from the former Soviet Union (FSU). Data show that elderly persons (65 and older) composed 14 percent of this immigration wave. The process of immigration from the FSU is a process of change extending to all areas of life, including environmental changes (climatic conditions, household arrangements); problems of language, culture, mentality, and social norms; and the per…
