NEW YORK (JTA) — The 25,000
Jews of the Syrian community in
New York marked the fast day of
the 17th of Tamuz with special
prayers on behalf of the estimated
4,000 Jews of Syria who are barred
from leaving Syria, it was reported
by the Committee for the Rescue
of Syrian Jewry.
A proclamation issued by the
Rabbinical Council of the Syrian-
Sephardic Community of America
urged international action to free
the Syrian Jews to emigrate and
rejoin their families in various
parts of the world.
The proclamation was issued by
Rabbis Abraham Raful, Joseph
Hariri and Haim Benoliel.
(The 17th of Tamuz commemo-
rates the breaching of the Jeru-
salem wall by the Babylonian in-
vaders in 586 BCE).
Sen. George McGovern (D.S.D.)
and Hubert Humphrew (D. Minn.)
both issued appeals on behalf of
Syria's remnant Jewish commu-
nity. Sen. McGovern, in a state-
ment issued to mark the special
fast day, reiterated an earlier plea
to the Syrian government to per-
mit the emigration of that coun-
try's Jewish residents.
Sen. Humphrey called upon
President Nixon to have the issue
of Syrian Jewry brought before
the United Nations. Sen. llum-
phrey, who is honorary chair-
man of the committee, report-
edly asked Nixon "to pursue ac-
tively the other diplomatic chan-
nels at his disposal to help pro-
cure the right for Syrian and
Soviet Jews to emigrate."
Ambassador Yosef Tekoah, Is-
rael's representative to the United
Nations, informed the Security
Council that his country will con-
tinue to "pursue its efforts to free
the Jews of Syria from oppres-
sion." Ambassador Tekoah made
that statement in a letter to Lazar
Mojsov, of Yugoslavia, this month's
president of the Security Council.
The letter was in response to one
sent to the Security Council by the
Syrian Ambassador June 13 com-
plaining about mounting interna-
tional indignation at Syria's treat-
ment of its Jewish minority.
President Salvador Allende re-
ceived two Chilean Jewish com-
munity leaders in Santiago and
heard their plea for his interven-
tion on behalf of persecuted Syrian
Jews.
The leaders, Gil Sinay, president
of the Jewish Central Committee
of Chile and Leon Tichimino, pres-
ident of the Chilean Zionist Fed-
eration, described the meeting
afterward as "very cordial."
