The voices of the dedicated Soviet Jewry activists in this country were finally listened to in Moscow. From Brooklyn. NY. to Brookline. MA. to Boise. ID. the steady cries of "let my people go" could no longer be ignored by the Soviet Government. And as Mr. Gorbachevs reforms took hold and the iciness of the cold war began to melt. Soviet Jewish emigration increased. In the last 15 months. as the winds of democracy blew like a hurricane throughout Eastern Europe. over 80.000 Jews have been allowed to taste the sweetness of freedom In the West. But while we rejoice in this exodus. now Is not the time for us to be complacent.
