She represents mothers who have not seen their children for as much as 28 years. These mothers and children are being separated by the Soviet Union's re- fusal to allow Russian Jews to emigrate to Israel. "These are not political cases," Mrs. Slovin said.

"For many Jews in Russia, Is- rael is their historical motherland.

I dreamed all my life about Israel," Mrs. Slovin said. sia—all of them parent-child re- lations—Mrs. Slovin has visited Rita Hauser, U.S. representative to the UN Human Rights Com- mission, and several U.S. senators.
