We have in the past. and we can in the future. With this hope and goal in mind. I am adopting Yakov Mesh. along with his wife Maima and his son Marat. for todays fast and vigil. Yakov has applied for permission to emigrate from the Soviet Union to join the remainder of his family in Israel many times during the last few years. Repeatedly promised by authorities that his familys applications were "soon to be approved." all three have been denied emigration on each occasion. At one point. Yakovs mother asked authorities why the latest petition had been denied.
