Passover '78 Doubly Notable Soviet Jewish Artist Speaks
at Shaarey Zedek Art Show
for Russian Jewish Family
Soviet Jewish under-
Passover, the Festival of
Freedom, held double sig-
nificance for the Zinovy
Simanovsky Family. It
marked not only the tradi-
tional celebration of the -de-
liverance of the ancient
Jews from their oppressors
in-Egypt, but the deliver-
ance of this Russian Jewish
family from their Soviet op-
pressors.
Highlighting the occasion
even more was the celebra-
tion of the Bar Mitzva of
Oleg Simanovsky, youngest
of the family's two children.
Oleg became Bar Mitzva at
second day Passover serv-
ices at Cong. Beth Shalom,
at which Rabbi David A.
Nelson officiated. Cantor
Samuel Greenbaum, who
chanted the liturgical por-
tion of the service, trained
the family for their aliyot
and the Bar Mitzva for his
recitation.
Prevented from actively
practicing Judaism in Rus-
sia, the family wanted more
than anything else upon ar-
riving in the U.S. to be
counted as members of the
Jewish community.

In their quest for
recognition by their co-
religionists, the family
began by enrolling in
English classes at the
Jewish Community Cen-
ter, and at the request of
Joanna Berger, who
teaches English to newly
arrived Russians, the
family was given a crash
course at Beth Shalom.

Mitzva and aliyot was the
beginning of the family's
Jewish education. He found
the Simanovskys eager to
learn.

recited the Shehekhyanu,
and received a gift of an
Haggada. Alex received a
