Teaching of the play, which contains decidedly anti-Semitic overtones, was originally protested by the parents of a Jewish high school student.

Turning to the issues of "dropouts" — Soviet Jews who use Israeli exit visas but settle elsewhere once out of the Soviet Union mainly in the United States — Dulzin warned that the growing number of dropouts could endanger the future of the Jewish Soviet emigra- tion.
