Jews in odd places: Argentina: At last, the exodus to Israel may be slowing. A record 6,325 Argentine Jews made aliyah last year. More than 2,600 did so during the first half of the year.

But this year, only 485 made aliyah during the same period.

The reason, experts say, is the expectation that financial conditions may improve in Argentina, a country that may be emerging from nearly two years of economic free fall.
