In spite of all of our efforts. and in spite of the remarkable fact that thousands of Jews have been allowed to leave the Soviet Union over the last decade. the Soviets concerted effort to suppress Judaism. which has continued since shortly after their 1917 revolution. is as strong as ever today. Earlier this year the formation of the AntiZionist Committee of the Soviet Public was announced. It is clear that we have much work still to do in order to assist Soviet Jewry. What can we do to protect Soviet Jews from harassment and arrest? How can we make it possible for them to emigrate in greater numbers? I think that the most effective means of coming to their aid lies in the organizational strength of the American Jewish community. There are two things we must concentrate on: Education and action.
