U. of M. Coed Relates Tragedy of Jews Letvin-Simons Troth
in Russia as Viewed on Summer Trip Is Announced Here

"A community of whisperers in
a kingdom of fear" is how Uni-
versity of Michigan coed Ellen
Panush described the Russian Jews
she saw on a trip behind the Iron
Curtain this summer.
Miss Panush, 19-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard
Panush of Roselawn Ave., related
her experiences in a Yom Kippur
Eve sermon at Beth Aaron youth
services in the Jewish Center.
Describing the state of isolation
and ignorance under which Rus-
sian Jews are forced to live, Miss
Panush said she was taken to see
the Leningrad synagogue on Fri-
day evening. "We finally arrived
at a beautiful gate with Hebrew
inscriptions on it — it was locked.
The synagogue was also elaborate
— also locked."
On a visit to relatives of a
friend who lives in Moscow, one
of my American friends mentioned,
`the political atmosphere in the
Soviet Union is becoming freer,
perhaps in another 20 years, Rus-
sian Jews will be able to go to
Israel.'
" 'In another 20 year s,' the
Russian replied with a strange
mixture of sadness and derision,
`the Soviet Jews will no longer
be Jews.' "
"The youth especially seemed
uncomfortable with their Jewish-
ness, ill at ease. What is it? What
for? Who needs it?"
Miss Panush said she had
brought talleisim and siddurim to
the Moscow family, but "the elder,
Yasef, was the only member of the
family who appreciated the gifts I
brought . . . the only one who
has ever used them in his fam-
ily. The six family members speak
Yiddish at home, but have never
heard a word of spoken Hebrew.
Never do they attend synagogue,
except rarely, 'to look around.' The
younger couple laughed at the
thought of a religious wedding ..."
As an example of the discrimina-
tion against Russian Jewry, Miss
Panush referred to the experience
of a distinguished Jewish professor
who served for many years as head
of the French department in one
of the universities.

Asked as a favor to teach for
one semester in the English depart-
ment, he complied only to find at
the end of that semester his place
as head of the French depart-
ment had been assumed by his
assistant.
"While his superiors sympath-
ized with his predicament," Miss
Panush said, "he could not re-
turn to teach under his former
assistant, and he could not con-
tinue in the English department
since a new teacher had ar-
rived to fill the vacancy. Under
the circumstances, it was hinted
that it would be best for him to
retire. He is now retired.
"This has a special name among
Jews in Russia: The process is
MISS BARBARA LETVIN
called the salami method, since
Mr.
and Mrs. Sam Letvin of Sus-
one's position is diminished slice
by slice until there is nothing sex Ave. announce the engagement
of their daughter Barbara to Rob-
left."

Leonard Simons of Radclift Ave.,
A 'Beauty' Among Many Oak Park.
The bride-elect, a junior in
Antique Show Items
Wayne State University's college
of education, is affiliated with Phi
Sigma Sigma Sorority.
A March 27 wedding is planned.

Branch 2 to View Slides

Slides of a recent trip to Israel
will be shown by some members
of Branch Two, Labor Zionist Or-
ganization, at a meeting of the
group 7:30 p.m. Oct. 24 at the
home of Y. L. Stone, 18643 Green-
lawn. Refreshments will be served.

This little beauty, a salesman's
sample used at the turn of the
century, is reminiscent of many
such fine examples shown to the
public in • bygone days and now
dear to the heart of collectors of
such fine items. Many of these
fine replicas such as this stove,
concrete mixers, trucks and wagons,
are often to be found at the Great
Lakes Antique Show, the "Old
Reliable" show, slated for Detroit's
Masonic Temple Wednesday
through Oct. 23.
