He also claims that club repre- sentatives contact his office almost daily for information on reaching Russian Jews in Chicago. Arkaday Lvow, a Russian Jewish writer who arrived in New York several years ago, said it isn't surprising that Russian Jews are lured to Christianity given their lack of Jewish identity in Russia. With their Jewish iden- tity sheathed in ignor- ance, many Russian Jews now enter an Ainerican Jewish society increas- ingly devoid of concrete religious, national or his- torical content. Recent Russian Jewish emi- grants, said Lvow, are simply following their way into the American mainstream which encourages seculariza- tion. Lvow, who says he knows of 40 Jews who have con- verted in Manhattan, be- lieves the onus is on Ameri- can Jewry to help educate Russian Jews on their his- tory and culture. Tzal warns that increased conversion among Russian Jews is a harbinger of what could eventually happen "to' the entire Russian Jewish community here" if Ameri- can Jewry remains passive. "It is not enough to give Russian Jews housing, jobs and financial assistance in the U.S.," said Tzal, whose department is responsible for bringing Russian Jews to Israel. "But if Jewish organizations wish to pro- vide such aid, they should be equally concerned with insuring that those emi- grants remain Jewish." "The national pride which exists among Ameri- can Jewry for playing an important role in saving many Russian Jews can quickly turn to national shame if this situation is not reversed," the Jewish Agency official said.
