Reaching out to the East European Jewish diaspora in Germany.

From Spiegel Online: "Many Eastern European Jews who emigrated to Germany have been rejected by local Jewish communities. Now Israel is sending envoys to Germany to try to encourage them to emigrate to Israel to boost the flagging population."

Bottom line: German Jews do not accept East European Jews for many reasons, and Israel is looking for Jewish immigrants, because one out of five Israeli citizens is of Arab descent and the rate is increasing.
