Seder 'llappenina' at Jewish Center
Calls Attention to . S oviet Jews' Anguish

;,," A. novel multi-media "happen-
ing" t, dedicated to Soviet Jewry
f. "the dream and the hope of
an:,'
freedom," was presented last week
at the Jewish Center, with some
250 adults and children in atten-
dance.
The "third seder," sponsored by
the Center Hebrew department,
combined -slides, dramatizations,
songs and - recitations,--in all, an
ambitious production, directed by
Eliav Naharin, assistant director
of the department-. .
Sitting at long "seder tables,"
the audience followed the proceed=
ings with stylized "hagadot," writ-
ten for the occasion by Judy Kar-
bal and Harriet Gaba. _
The -short drama revolVed around
a Russia-xi- Jewish famil3f-, made to-
suffer 'because of its unflagging
love for Zion. On . the eve of the
first seder, a chance meeting
with an Israeli tourist revives the
the viewer is subjected to the seder
in the typical (?) American Jewish
home, where the elder son holds
forth against the seder rituai, hiS
.parents, materialism and other
_sundry evils.
- Accompanying slides reinforced
the comparison — showing the
pitiable condition of Soviet Jews
and the overabundance and com-
placency in America.
The scenes were interspersed
with Hebrew songs, notably "Blue
and White," written and sung un-
dercover in Russia by Jews long-
ing for Israel. Most were perform-
ed by a chorus from Hashomer
Hatzair, but the audience partici-
pated in a number of them. Other
highlights were the recitation of
Babi -Yar by Lorraine Ernst and
the dedication of a contemporary
"Four Questions" to Soviet Jewry.
The latter bear repeating:
Why are we not allowed to prac-
tice our religion in Russia while
other religions in Russia are open-
ly flourishing?
Why do they not allow us to
emigrate to Israel if they so de-
spise us?
Will the Jews of the world allow
us to die our silent deaths without
coming to our aid?
Why are we not told of the
martyrdom of Soviet Jews during
the Nazi Holocaust? -

If there was any glaring weak-
ness in the presentation, it was a
tendency to the melodramatic. Not
that the condition of Soviet Jewry
isn't bad—it is, undeniably so. But
the emphasis on contrast left the
viewer with the impression that
America is simply a playpen of
overindulged brats and that Amer-
ican Jewish parents are driving
their misunderstood children right
into the enemy , camp.
The point is, both performers
and guests at this happening
are a living denial of that con-
tention. Adult members of the
Hebrew department, Hashomer
members_ and Jewish Parents'
Institute students — all were
there together, - Many as family

units.

If it weren't for the concern of
such American Jews, both young
and old, the happening wouldn't
have happened at all. Hopefully,
such efforts will continue on an
annual basis—until, God willing,
there is no need for them.
