Flint Leaders Call Upon Syrians
to Permit Jews Their Freedom
In a co-signed letter to the
permanent representative of
the Syrian Arab Republic to
the United Nations, Michael
A. Pelavin, president of the
Flint Jewish Community
Council, and Hy Klein, chair-
man of the Council's com-
munity relations committee,
called upon the ambassador
and his government to ad-
here to the Declaration of
Human Rights, and in the
name of humanity, "to pro-
vide the Jews of Syria with
the dignity deserved by any
human being. We ask you to
rescind the special laws for
Jews, and to permit them
their freedom and their right
of emigration."
The letter to the Syrian
ambassador was sent in the
wake of the recent murder
of four Syrian Jewish women
and the subsequent accusa-
tion against two respected
members of the Jewish com-
munity. The letter goes on:
"The reported arrest of the
two men along with two
Moslems for the dastardly
murders is apparently a
blood plot against an already-
suffering Syrian Jewish corn_
munity."
In the communique, Klein
and Pelavin list the principal
restrictions in force upon the
Jewish community and add
"It is inconceivable and un-
palatable to believe the gov-
ernmental fabrication of the
charge of complicity in mur
der against the two arrested
Jews. Such an affront to the
intelligence of the civilized
world and to all concepts of
justice and humanity could
only have been contrived by
a regime that has forfeited
every claim to decency."
The Flint Jewish Commu-
nity Council is requesting
everyone to protest the re-
cent murders and jailings to
tire Syrian president and the
Syrian ambassador to the
United Nations:
President Hafez al Assad,
Presidential Palace, Damas-
cus, Syria; and Ambassador
Haissam Kelani, Permanent
Representative of the Syrian
Arab Republic to the United
Nations, 964 Third Ave., New
York 10022. Copies of protest
letters also should be sent to:
Hon. Kurt Waldheim, United
Nations General Secretary,
UN Building, UN Plaza, New
York 10017.

RES. 642-6836
The recent "Festivals of
Spring" sponsored by the
International Institute includ-
ed a Passover exhibit ar-
ranged by Annette Schafer,
assisted by Barbara Abram-
son.
The table was complete
with a seder plate containing
traditional symbols, matzo
and matzo cover, afikoman
in a special case, cup for
Elijah, candles and kidush
cup. In addition, there was a
display of Hagadot, a basket
of matzo for visitors to
sample and literature about
Passover.
On hand to help explain
the holiday and its customs
were Gene, Michael, Rhina
and Suzanne Griffel; Adeline
Loikrec, Leslie Schafer, Celia
Schwartz, Sharon Stein and
Barbara Yale. The exhibit
and information reportedly
were well received.
