Special thanks were offered
during morning prayers at
Yeshivat Akiva following
Anatoly Shcharansky's release
from the Soviet Union. And in a
unique expression of gratitude,
the entire student body, from
kindergarten through the 11th
grade, addressed messages of
thanksgiving and congratula-
tions to Shcharansky in
Jerusalem.
"Everyone in the school feels a
special relationship with Mr.
Shcharansky," explained Rabbi
Shmuel Lopin, principal of
Yeshivat Akiva. "His wife, Avital
Shcharansky, was a guest
speaker at the 1983 annual
Akiva banquet, and her descrip-
tion of her husband's plight af-
fected us all."
"Akiva students also listened
to a talk from Yosef Mendelevich
this fall about his 11 years in a
Soviet prison," noted Barry
Eisenberg, president of Akiva.
"They are very aware of the
plight of Soviet Jewry. Many
share their bar and bat mitzvah
with Jewish boys and girls in the
Soviet Union who are unable to
mark their own coming of age in
accordance with Jewish tradi-
tion."
The
Akiva
letters
to
L hcharansky included a banner,
prepared by the first grades.
Fifth grader Rivky Schramm
wrote Shcharansky "that my
grandfather had also gotten out
of Russia, so I knew how he felt."
"I hope your mother and your
brother get out of Russia," wrote
Stacy Morse, a student in the
fourth grade.
The officers and administra-
tion of Akiva addressed a more
formal letter to Shcharansky.
"Every day we have offered
prayers to Hashem in gratitude
for your redemption," wrote Phil-
lip Applebaum, executive direc-
tor of the school. "How happy we
are to see you, at last, living as a
free man!"
Another letter from Akiva was
sent to President Ronald Reagan,
expressing Akiva's appreciation
for his efforts on behalf of
Shcharansky.
.................
More than 200 letters, includ-
ing a copy of the one to President
Reagan, are being hand carried
to Shcharansky by Eileen Bor-
sand, a parent in the school. Mrs.
Borsand will also be visiting her
daughter, Marcy, who is par-
ticipating in Akiva's senior year
in Israel program.
The plight of Soviet Jewry will
also play a role in Akiva's annual
banquet on April 13. The honoree
is Rep. William S. Broomfield
(R-Birmingham), whose efforts
on behalf of Soviet Jewry will be
acknowledged.
