Soviets Tighten Limitations on Jews

NEW YORK (JTA) —
The Soviet government

has recently enacted new
legislation which imposes
new and greater restric-
tions on religious freedom
in the Soviet Union, ac-
cording to the Greater
New York Conference on
Soviet Jewry.
The new laws require
advance special permis-
sion for each occasion
that a religious service be
held in a private home.
Permission would thus be
needed for prayers in the
house of a mourner or for
circumcision ceremonies
held at home, the
GNYCSJ noted.
In addition, the regis-
tration of religious
societies has been made
more difficult; the right of
appeal against expropri-
ations of houses of prayer
has been abolished, and
funds for the mainte-
nance of religious
societies — which could
previously be solicited
anywhere — must now be

collected on the premises
of the house of prayer.
In a related develop-
ment, a dozen Jewish dis-
sidents said that they had
been taken to a forest out-
side Moscow and beaten by
plainclothesmen after a
two-day sit-in at an ad-
ministrative building of
the Supreme Soviet.
The men had all applied
for, and been refused,
visas to emigrate to Is-
rael. They said they had
gone to the Supreme
Soviet, the country's
legislative body, to ask for
written statements on
how long they would have
to wait to leave and what
the reasons were for de-
nying them permission to
emigrate.
Arkady Polishchuk, a
former editor of the
magazine Asia and Africa
Today, said that the
group had stayed in a re-
ception room at the Sup-
reme Soviet's adminis-
trative building all day
Monday and Tuesday.
About 5:30 p.m. Monday,
he said, plainclothesmen
had evicted them from
the building, put them in
a bus and let them out at
the edge of Moscow.
The pattern was re-
peated Tuesday, he ad-
ded, except that the bus
went to a forest about 35
to 40 miles outside the
capital, the men said.
Polishchuk reported
that the plainclothesmen
pushed and dragged the
Jews from the bus, and
chased them through the
woods, pummeling and
kicking them.
The National Confer-
ence on Soviet Jewry and
the Student Struggle for
Soviet Jewry angrily de-
nounced the beatings. .
Meanwhile, the Na-
tional Conference on
Soviet Jewry has learned
that Mikhail Eidelman of
Riga, who has been apply-
ing to emigrate since
March, 1971, has again
been refused an exit visa.
His only daughter and
grandson are now living
in Israel.
The NCSJ also learned
that former Prisoner of
Conscience Dr. Chaim
Rennert has arrived in
Israel. A radiologist, he
was sentenced to five
years in a prison camp for
allegedly attempting to
bribe an official of the
Soviet emigration office
for an exit visa.
In New York, thou-
sands of New Yorkers
celebrated a Simhat
Torah "Festival of Free-
dom" on the steps of the
New York Public Library
in midtown Manhattan
last week as Soviet Jews
prepared to courageously
sing and dance in the
streets of Moscow.
The festivities here
were marked with a Torah
procession, "Sukka
mobiles," colorfully deco-
rated kosher food stalls
and dancing to the tunes of
Jewish musical bands. The
event was sponsored by
the Greater New York
Conference on Soviet
Jewry.
Participating in the
festival were numerous
local civic leaders, and
Senatorial rivals James
L. Buckley and Daniel

Patrick Moynihan.
Meanwhile, in Grand
Rapids, Mich., 50 persons
attended a vigil to com-
memorate one year of
continuous weekly vigils
in support of Soviet Jews
trying to emigrate to Is-
rael, and to celebrate the
recent release of the Yuii
Kalman family of Israel,
formerly of USSR.
In New York, an Appeal
from Soviet scientist Ven-
iamin Levich for "un-
compromising protests"
by the free world on be-
half of scientists in East-
ern Europe was read at a
meeting on Soviet-
American relations held
by the Academic Commit-
tee on Soviet Jewry to
honor its chairman, Hans
J. Morgenthau.
