Editor, The Jewish News:
As Detroit area Jews and
their families observe the
High Holy Days of Rosh
Hashana and Yom Kippur,
there are some "forgotten
people" among us who lack
the opportunity to partici-
pate in the celebration.
It may come as a surprise
to learn that a significant
number of Jewish people re-
side in nursing homes, espe-
cially since the Jewish
community takes pride in
its strong family ties and in
providing its own well-run
homes for the aged. But
with more and more people
living to a very old age, and
with changes in family life-
styles, greater numbers of
the aged are living in pri-
vately owned nursing
homes and this includes
Jews.
The typical nursing home
does not provide a Jewish
atmosphere. Religious holi-
days, observing the Sabbath

Soviet-Iraqi Issue

pagE
Escfhop

Jabotinsky spoke unpopu-
lar words. Nearly all dif-
fered with him and bitterly
opposed him. He was barred
from speaking, barred from
writing in so. many places.
He was opposed by the
Zionist leadership, by the
religious leadership, by the
press. He was opposed and
isolated, made a pariah.
But those who silenced
him were proven wrong,
and the Jewish people suf-
fered untold tragedy be-
cause of it. I can only hope
that in the United States,
Jews have learned a lesson
from this.
You know that there
are many hundreds of
thousands of hidden and
silent Jews who agree
with my views. It is a view
that may be against the
mainstream, but it is a
Jewish view that by its
very controversy, de-
serves a hearing.
I recall all the things I
said a decade ago that were
unpopular THEN; that
brought down censorship
and wrath, THEN. The call
for physical Jewish defense
against Jew-haters; the
need to angrily demonstrate
for Soviet Jewry; the warn-
ings against Kissinger and
Sadat — when everyone
was viewing them as Vice
Messiahs.

Perhaps the things I say
today will also be proven
correct — perhaps not. But
should not the Jewish pub-
lic have the right to listen?
