Hebrew teachers face the threat of imprisonment. and cultural selfstudy groups have been forcibly disbanded. Worse yet. in the face of such renewed hardship. Jews are being given even less of an opportunity to emigrate than at any time in the past 10 years. Jewish emigration. once reaching a highpoint of 51.320 in 1979. has come to a virtual standstill with only 2.688 Jews permitted to leave in As we join with other nations in placing pressure on the Soviet Union so that its leaders are made to feel the consequences of their brutal act. we should also seek relief for the plight of Soviet Jewry. The Soviets could begin to improve their standing in the eyes of those nations concerned with human rights by respecting the rights of Soviet Jews.*
