for Moslem Brotherhood
literature or - adherents
should be obvious. Yet
the crackdown on the
Moslem Brotherhood has
led to searches of Jewish
homes and the rape of a
young Jewish housewife.
The term "Musawi" (fol-
lower of Moses, i.e. Jewish)
is entered on the identity
cards of Jews and they are
barred from traveling even
to neighboring countries.
The Syrian authorities have
turned- a deaf ear to re-
peated requests for family
reunions to the United
States.
A recent Swiss visitor to
Syria reported that racial
pressures are growing
within Syria for Jewish
women to convert and
marry Moslems.
While all persons in Syria
are subject to the arbitrary
whim of a lawless regime,
Jews know from bitter ex-
perience that they have spe-
cial reason to feel vulnera-
ble. It is thus all the more
urgent to intensify
humanitarian efforts to ob-
tain the right of Syrian
Jews to emigrate.

carious day by day. They are
uniquely discriminated
against by a strict ban on
Jewish emigration. -
Seven Jewish men are
currently- in prison for al-
legedly having attempted to
leave and other Jewish men
and women have been killed
or severely wounded in ear-
lier escape attempts. Jews
are also subjected to special
decrees, restricting their
right to sell or inherit prop-
erty.
As Syria continues to be
wracked by civil strife, Jews
suffer from the adverse ef-
fect of governmental action
to root out the fanatical
Moslem Brotherhood,
which has murdered top of-
ficials and sought to assas-
sinate President Hafez al-
Assad last summer. To
counter the Brotherhood,
Assad has unleashed his
Defense Arigades and the
Mukhabarat (secret police)
who commit acts in viola-
tion of fundamental human
rights, including searches
without warrant, torture,
detention without trial and
summary executions.

The collective effort re-
sulting in this book contains
many important features. It
defines the dietary laws,
has recipes for the Sabbath
meals as well as all the fes-
tivals, with the introduc-
tory comments about all of
them.
The commendations "The
Best of Jewish Cooking" re-
ceived from the temple in -
New Jersey where it was
produced will surely be
echoed wherever the cook-
book will be used in Jewish
homes.
