past, to grant Jews just cul-
tural and religious rights and to
permit those who wish to go to
Israel to leave the USSR peace-
fully.
Similar action was taken last
week in Chicago where the Si-
berian dancers were greeted by
Jewish representatives, were pre-
sented with vodka and cakes and
were asked to transmit the Jewish
appeal to their government. There
was a friendly exchange, but the
artists did not promise to take the
appeal to their government.
The Siberian Dancers also will
be asked by the Flint Christian
community to transmit to their
government a plea for the restora-
tion of freedom to 28 Leningrad,
Riga and other Jews "whose
crime is their desire to be re-
united with their families in their
historic homeland of the Jewish
people." Signed appeals for this

Russia.

Mrs. Rosky said the role of the
women's division will be to "help
spread the story of the enormous
human needs of the people of Is-
rael as well as to solicit gifts for
the emergency fund."
"Some Women mistakenly be-
lieve that because their hus-
bands give," Mrs. Dodge said,
"there is little that they as wom-

women here. They are desperate.

peal campaign. They led 105
participants on a 10-day in-depth
study of the human needs in
Israel. The group met with gov-
ernment leaders, and other
prominent Israelis, including
Cabinet Minister Shimon Peres,
to gain an insight into the hu-
manitarian needs of the people
of Israel.
money they can give, but also for
their time and efforts. In our
past campaigns, the women of
this community have done a
splendid job in rallying support
for UJA. We hope that this 1971
campaign will engender even
greater response."
Parallel with Mrs. Wigoder's
personal history, "Hope Is My
House" presents the drama of Is-
rael's emergence as a modern
nation and its most recent role
as a practical inspiration for the
rising African nations.
