He is expected to be put on trial soon for "disseminating anti-Soviet agitation." "In layman's terms," said Jerry Rogers of the Detroit Committee, "anti-Soviet agi- tations means telling the truth." Rogers and Alex Prut- kov believe the Soviet officials did not want Prutkov avail- able to testify on behalf of Mesh at the.upcoming trial. The Prutkovs had been de- nied permission to emigrate despite the fact that his par- ents, Arkady and Sima Prut- kov, and his brother-in-law and sister, David and Lud- milla Sirota, came to Detroit in 1978. Alex was part of the Jewish cultural movement, teaching Hebrew to fellow Jews in Rus- sia. The official reason that they could not leave the U.S.S.R. was that Alex had served in the Soviet military and "might" be aware of state secrets. The Berenfeld family has been blocked through differ- ent means. Benjamin's father, Mark, was told they do not have close relatives in Israel to warrant emigration. Unoffi- cially, Benjamin's grandparents have withheld permission for their daughter, Benjamin's mother, to leave. Mark Berenfeld is part of the Moscow Scientific Seminar, composed of refuseniks meet- ing weekly in an effort to keep current their scientific knowl- edge. The group recently ap- pealed to the European Physi- cal Society to meet in Moscow to focus attention on their plight. How does Lowell Friedman react to the swirling intrigues of the Soviet Union intruding on this momentous day in his life? "Ilana was bat mitzvah in Russia," he told The Jewish News. "She should have a turn here, to see how it feels." And Lowell has not been sharing all the attention this week — on Monday he celebrated his 13th birthday at Hillel Day School by being called up to read the Torah. Dr. Melvyn and Susan Friedman, Lowell's parents, are proud of Lowell's attitude. "It is a mitzvah," says Susan. "There is so little that we can actually do for Soviet Jewry. But for us, the Prutkovs are a symbol. The more letters that go to Russia, the better it is. If the refuseniks don't get the letters, the Russian gov- ernment will. If not the gov- ernment, then the KGB. At least they will know that we are watching." After Cindy Friedman's bat mitzvah at B'nai. Moshe in November 1982, the first time a bar or bat mitzvah was twin- ned at B'nai Moshe with a Russian youngster, the Friedmans celebrated with a trip to Israel. "Cindy was asked by a rabbi about her bat mitzvah," said Susan, "and she got up and talked about her twinning." The Friedmans also telephoned the Israeli aunt of Cindy's twin, "which helped complete the triangle for us. It really means some- thing for us." That meaning will carry forward Saturday morning when Ilana Prutkov of Odessa and Oak Park joins Lowell Friedman on the bimah. Cindy Friedman will read a transla- tion of liana's brief remarks in Russian. Ilana will describe how she and her Jewish friend were discriminated against in school and called "killers" by their classmates during dis- cussions of the Lebanon War. She will ask Jewish youth to
