Mario Cuomo. has declared today to be Shcharansky Day. and Im here today to register my outrage at the continued imprisonment of Anatoly. and the unabated persecution of all Soviet Jews. The Jewish high holidays now being celebrated are a time to renew commitments. reflect on our actions. and undertake plans for the new year. Jews in the Soviet Union are not allowed the freedom to enjoy the new year as their faith directs. thousands of them are waiting for permission to emigrate to Israel where they may practice their faith in peace. Those of us In the United States should use this time to renew our commitment to helping those people realize their dream. Anatoly has suffered tremendously at the hands of Soviet authorities.
