This effort has been named "Operation Exodus." On May 6. I was honored to speak at a major fundraising event for Operation Exodus at Har Sinai in Baltimore. The Jewish community there will welcome 1.000 new immigrants and will contribute to resettlement costs in Israel. Also addressing the gathering was Leon Uris. author of "Exodus." Mr. Uris reminded us of the refuseniks. left in the Soviet Union and the difficulty which Soviet Jews face in trying to practice their religion and keep their traditions. He analyzed the state of Soviet society today. And he discussed the everrecurrent issue of antiSemitism.
