`JewsofRussia'PaperbackText Stephen Wih-on Takes Issued for Students of IJIIS Janet Eagle as Bride The United Hebrew Schools, re- sponding to the mounting call for curricula on Soviet Jewry, has is- sued a 55-page illustrated booklet, "The Jews of Russia," for use by the upper grades of the element- ary department. In a foreword to the paperback text, Albert Elazar, UHS superin- tendent, credited Dr. Naphtali Wiesner, educational consultant of the Hebrew Schools, for suggest- ing the booklet and for compiling its contents. Others who helped prepare the material were Mrs. Lillian Rosinger and Richard Gold. The booklet deals with the Jews of Russia; past and present, and shows how their future is linked with the Jewish communities of Israel and the United States. Elazar pointed out that the study of Soviet Jewry is in line with the central aim of Jewish education: "to help enrich and enlarge the total personality of the American-Jewish child by in- fluencing and developing his uniquely Jewish qualities and re- sponsibilities. It is essential to encourage students to identify with Jews wherever they are and to feel responsible for their fate." Among the subjects dealt with are life under the Czars and the revolution; the various contribu- tions of Russian Jewry—from Has- idism to art, literature and sci- ence—Jewish leaders in the Soviet Union; Jewish cultural life in vari- BY POPULAR DEMAND!

Although the booklet is in Eng- lish, a number of Hebrew terms and names are inserted. Stamps, drawings and photographs illus- trate historical eras in the Soviet Union. The writing is scaled to the needs of young people, and at its conclusion, the booklet stresses the need for youth to join in the pro- tests on behalf of Soviet Jewry: "We, as Jews, must remember that wherever there are injustices in the world, we have a responsi- bility to speak out against them. Perhaps some day the Russian government will hear the cries of millions of people and grant Jews complete freedom."

Hebrew Institute for the Deaf, and was under the impression that I was fully aware of the plight of the Jewish deaf, but I must admit that this was a shattering experi- ence. At this convention I learned that the Jewish community and its lead- ers have completely neglected and ignored, through the years, the Jewish deaf as though they didn't exist. There are no Jewish schools for the deaf. There are no shules. There are no trained rabbis for the deaf. New York City alone has 4,000 Jewish deaf population who are lost to Judaism due to religious ignorance. Many of our deaf intermarry. According to Msgr. Houriban of Newark, the church takes an active interest in the spiritual guidance of their deaf society. All church members are taxed to meet the high cost of educat- ing the deaf. They recognize the need and answer the call. At- this convention I met Jewish deaf people who cried out for reli- gious guidance and education for themselves, their children, their grandchildren. A Jewish School for the Deaf was started five years ago, serv- icing all states, Canada and Israel. Why must this school go begging to be maintained? Why must it con- tinually plead for funds to get our Jewish children out of Catholic schools and into our own? Let us act now and give these children what we lavish so freely upon our hearing children, a Jew- ish education.
