Central Room, Modernized Kitchen Approved for 10 Mile Center
_ .2
The Jewish Welfare Federation Board of Governors
has approved the expenditure of about $90,000 for renova-
tion and expansion of facilities at the 10 Mile Branch of the
Jewish Community Center.
Expansion plans include enclosing the atrium in the
middle of the building to provide a large room capable of
seating 300 persons. At present, the 10 Mile Center's
largest room can seat only 130.

The kitchen will also be modernized and enlarged. It is in
constant daily use for the morning Koffee Klatch and the
mid-day light lunch; the facility is also used by 11 senior
adult groups to prepare luncheons, birthday parties and
holiday celebrations.
A large increase in the Center's senior adult mem-
bership in recent years, from 685 to more than 1,200,
makes expansion necessary, said Center President
Joel D. Tauber. Up to 500 persons attend a program at
the 10 Mile Branch every day.
A new 100-unit building is being constructed by
Jewish Federation Apartments, next door to the 10 Mile
Branch, and when it is completed the Center's membership
is expected to increase again.

TEL AVIV (JTA) — "Silva Zalmanson will testify whenever she saw me I
assured her that her husband, Eduard Kuznetsov, will return," Premier
Menahem Begin asserted Monday. "I told her he will return and here he is."
Begin made this statement as he welcomed Prisoners of Conscience Kuz-
netsov and Mark Dymshits at Ben-Gurion Airport after they arrived from New
York where they had been taken from a Siberian prison along with three other
Soviet dissidents in exchange for two Russians jailed in the U.S. on spy charges.
Silva Zalmanson also accompanied -- _
her husband from New York.
Also there to greet the two new
arrivals were five other Soviet
Jews, who, like them, had been
imprisoned in the 1970 Lenin-
grad hijacking trial and who
had arrived in Israel Sunday. One
of them was Vulf Zalmanson, Sil-
va's brother.
The welcome Monday was almost a
carbon copy of Sunday's joyous greet-
ing ceremony. Begin again spoke in
Hebrew, Russian Lnd English as he
called Kuznetsov and Dymshits
heroes of the spirit. He again
thanked President Carter for what
he has done in behalf of Soviet Jewry

NEW YORK (JTA) — The 100,000 persons who jammed Dag Ham-
marskjold Plaza across from the United Nations for the eighth annual "Solidar-
ity Sunday for Soviet JeWry," Sunday joyously welcomed two Soviet Jews who
were released from a Siberian prison camp only two days before and cheered as
Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D-Wash.) and New York's two .U.S. Senators declared
that the Jackson-Vanik Amendment must not be repealed until the Soviet
Union agrees to free emigration for all Jews and others who want to leave.
Eduard Kuznetsov and Mark .
Dymshits., who arrived in New York
Friday along with three other Soviet
dissidents, thanked American Jews
for their efforts on behalf of Soviet
Jewry and urged continued support
for 14 other Jews in Soviet prisons as
well as all Jews who wish to emigrate
from the USSR.
The two Jews, along with Alek-
sandr Ginzburg, a 42-year-old
Soviet human rights activist;
Georgi Vins, a Soviet Baptist
leader; and Valentin Moroz, a
leader of the Ukrainian
nationalist movement, were ex-
changed for two Soviet former
employes of the UN who had been
