Soviet Stat e ment
Disputed by AJC

NEW YORK, (JTA) — The
American Jewish Committee is-
sued an analysis of the statement
on Jewish religion in the Soviet
Union made public here laSt
month by the Soviet delegation
to the United Nations.
"Analysis by AJC specialists
showed that references to the
Soviet law in this document were'
carefully culled from a few per-
missive sections of a sweeping
anti-religious decree issued by
the Soviets twenty-six years
ago," the American Jewish Com-
mittee pointed out. It stresses the
fact that the Soviet statement
made no attempt to deal with
"documented evidence that Jew-
ish cultural and religious insti-
tutions in the USSR have been
systematically liquidated; nor did
the Soviet disclaimer mention the
fate of 'missing' Jewish writers
in Russia, or what happened to
extinguish Jewish communal
life in Biro•idjan which was pro-
claimed a Jewish autonomous
region more that ii twenty-five
years ago."
The AJC emphasizes that al-
though the recent Geneva Con-
ference gave hope to the world
that the "cold war" may be
eased, a larger part of "the acid
test will be whether Communist
policies change significantly to
demonstrate respect for human
rights and the sanctity of the in-
dividual."
"Elementary justice demands
that the Soviet Union release all
Jewish leaders jailed because of
their communal activities; return
deported Jews to their homes;
permit freedom of religious wor-
ship and education; allow Jewish
religious communities and cul-
tural institutions to administer
their affairs freely; allow emigra-
tion to those Jews who wish to
do so," the American Jewish
Committee says, referring to a
resolution which it adopted to
this' effect last January.

Yiddish Course Planned
by School in Denver

- DENVER, -Colo. (JTA) — Yid-
dish will be taught to the chil-
dren of parents who want them
to learn that language at Con-
gregation Beth Ha Medrosh Hago-
dol here, it was revealed by
Rabbi Gershon Winer in a Sab-
bath sermon here. The spiritual
leader of the Conservative Con-
gregation said that "An elemen-
tary knowledge of the Yiddish
language is essential for Jewish
living and cannot therefore be
excluded from our program of
religious instruction."
The rabbi urged that recogni-
tion be given to the fact that Yid-
dish "has served as the medium
of expression for the largest seg-
ment of our people throughout
the world for at least 500 years."
In a statement to the Intermoun-
tain Jewish News here, Rabbi
Winer said that the new course
would not be introduced at the
expense of the Hebrew curricu-
lum but that special arrange-
ments are being made for the
teaching of Yiddish on a volun-
tary basis during additional
hours.

New York Synagogue Wins
Battle Against Demolition
NEW YORK (JTA) — A 400-
member congregation on N e w
York's Lower East Side has won
its fight to keep its synagogue
from being condemned and
wrecked to make room for a hous-
ing project. After several years
of legal battles, the New York
Housing Authority has agreed
that the congregation can keep
the building if it can obtain a
mortgage to finance its purchase.
The synagogue was actually
sold to the. Housing Authority by
the official trustees of the con-
. gregation, originally the Temple
of Sineer • and Vilna, most of
whose original members have
moved out of the area. The wor-
shippers who remained, now or-
ganized under the name of
Temple Beth Haknesses, however,
refused to leave the temple and
would accept no substitute build-
ings offered by the Housing Au-
thority. The Authority paid $124,-
000 for the building and has
agreed to take $15,000 in cash and
a mortgage if the present con
gregation members can obtain a
bank loan.
