have reduced the Jewish
population to 1,811,000,
about 88 percent of whom
live in the western regions.

"Soviet sources indi-
cate that only between
one and three percent
practice their faith, al-
though the figure is
somewhat higher in the
Baltic Republics. Jews
living in the Caucasian
republics and in Central
Asia are more religious;
perhaps 20 percent are
practicing.

"In sum, there may be
60,000 to 100,000 observant
Jews in the Soviet Union
today, for whom Rabbi
Yakov Fishman of Moscow's
Arkhipov Street
Synagogue, and his assis-
tant, Rabbi Adolf
Shayevich, act as spokes-
men. At the same time,
there are between 50 and 60
open synagogues (as
against some 6,000 in 1917)
and an indeterminate
number of smaller "prayer
houses."
"Of the synagogues, ap-
proximately half are in
Central Asia and the
Caucasus.
"The Soviet Union today
has no more than a handful
of trained rabbis. Certainly,
most synagogues do not
have one. The tiny, ill-
equipped yeshiva (school)
attached to Moscow's
Choral Synagogue, with a
current enrollment of five,
cannot replace the rabbis
who have retired or died
during the last decade.

"Recently some half-
dozen young Jews have
been allowed to study at
yeshivas in Budapest and
New York. These pro-
grams are clearly insuffi-
cient to replenish the
rabbinate in the Soviet
Union.

"Jewish religious litera-
ture has been virtually im-
possible to obtain for de-
cades. The Moscow and
Leningrad synagogues do
publish calendars, but since
the 1920s three editions of a
prayer book and one edition
of the Pentateuch comprise
the sum total of Jewish reli-
gious literature printed in
the Soviet Union.
"Prospects for the survi-
val of Jewish secular cul-
ture - of the Jewish "na-
tionality," as it is officially
described - are generally
considered bleak. State-
encouraged anti-Semitism
will doubtless deter many
from identifying with
Judaism.
"But throughout the
1970s thousands of Euro-
pean Jews from precisely
the most secularized strata
of the population have cul-
tivated a sense of their
Jewishness. And with the
likelihood of greatly re-
duced emigration in the
1980s, the Jewish cultural
renaissance, stimulated by
the emigration movement,
may well develop a more
religious direction."

We can scarcely hate
anyone that we know.
