Hi , My name is Susie and I’m an absorption coordinator in the Jewish Agency’s program “ At Home Together . ” This morning I contacted a new immigrant named Claudia who arrived from Argentina a few days ago . I met her at her home and together we went to town on the bus . We went to the bank where I helped her open a bank account and then we went to register her and her children at a health care center ( kupat holim ) . I speak Spanish , so we were able to speak freely and to develop a good relationship . Tomorrow , I am going to help her sign up for Hebrew classes at an ulpan * and register her children at school . I’m also planning to invite her and her family over to light Hanukah candles with my family . At first , Claudia will study Hebrew at the ulpan , but in a few months , she will have to begin working . She is a pianist . I hope I’ll be able to help her find a job by writing her resume in Hebrew and referring her to places where she might find work . I know other immigrants from South America and I’m planning to introduce her to them . I’m sure she’ll be happy to meet people with similar backgrounds . ulpan – – a school for teaching Hebrew . 1 In Argentina , Claudia was able to do everything independently , but in Israel , she needs Susie’s help to do these same things . Why does she need someone to help her in Israel ? 2 Claudia’s children will begin school in Israel . Give at least two examples of the kinds of things that their classmates can do to help them . 3 Do you think it’s the responsibility of the veteran students to help the new immigrants , or should each student be free to decide how they wish to relate to the new immigrants ? Explain .
