NEW YORK, (JTA) — Two
New York rabbinical leaders,
reporting on a seven-week tour
in Europe, said the Communist
regimes of Czechoslovakia and
Hungafy expect the Jewish
communities of those countries
to eventually disappear "be-
cause the state is convinced
that religion cannot long endure
in the climate of a society that
vigorously pursues a policy of
materialistic atheism."
Rabbi David I. Golovensky,
president of the New York
Board of Rabbis, and Rabbi
Israel Moshowitz, chairman of
the group's international Jewish
Affairs commission, thus sum-
med up their findings at \a. press
conference here today.
They reported that the 18,000
Jews remaining out of a pre-
Hitler population of 200,000 in
Czechoslovakia were trying to
develop a meaningful Jewish life
"out of the chaos and void they
inherited." The rabbis noted
that the Czechoslovak regime
provides financial support to
churches and synagogues, pay-
ing the salaries of such func-
tionaries as rabbis, cantors and
sextons, but that this is being
done not in approval of religion
but rather because "the state is
convinced that religion c

to atheism.

the thousands now have two
or three isolated Jewish fami-
lies "leaves little ground for
an optimistic prognosis."
During a ten-day visit to Hun-
gary, the rabbis reported, they
came to the conclusion that
"considering the nature of Com-
munist ideology and its opposi-
tion to religion," there was "a
surprising degree of authentic
and pulsating Jewish life." They
said that there were in Buda-
pest "three magnificent syna-
gogues and a number of small
prayer chapels serving the esti-
mated 80,000 Jews." They re-
ported visiting a yeshiva "and
examined with satisfaction
some of the 16 Talmudic stu-
dents, 8 to 12 years of age.
Some Communist leaders,
they found, believe that "with
the gradual alienation of the
youth from religion, material-
ism will emerge victorious.
Many Jewish leaders, both rab-
binic and lay, however, assured
us that the Jews have the oppor-
tunity and the instruments, fi-
nanced at least in part by the
Hungarian government, to main-
tain an enduring Jewish life."
