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.
