This analysis examined mortality among late-life Soviet Jewish immigrants in Israel, and the contribution of post-migration work status to their survival. The study linked 1997 survey data to mortality records, seven years hence. The results revealed that mortality was associated with older age, male gender, morbidity, and having less resourceful social networks. More importantly, after controlling for these background variables work status remained a significant correlate. Late-life immigrants who had never worked in the host country had a significantly greater risk of death than their immigrant counterparts who had ever worked (or were still working).

Russian-language Press and Immigrant Community in Israel
Narspy ZILBERG and Elazar LESHEM
As the community of new immigrants to Israel from the former Soviet Union rapidly grew to more than half a million people in the 1990s, more than 50 Russian-language periodicals appeared on the market. No other non-Hebrew-speaking language group has yielded such a large variety of periodicals. The independent immigrant press is a factor of consolidation of different immigrant groups into the wider community of ex-Soviet Jews in Israel, based on common identity, language and culture. The press maintains a complex balance between local ethnic and national activities and identification.
