Physicists Drs. Grigory Golds-
tein and Isai Goldstein, his wife,
Elizabeta and son, Avi, leading
Russian Jewish refuseniks who
were allowed to emigrate to Is-
rael in March after 15 years of
denial by the USSR, will speak
at Thursday's Jerusalem Day
celebration at Southfield Lat-
hrup High School.
The Goldsteins were among
the 25 Jews for whom Sen. Ed-
ward M. Kennedy interceded
during a February visit to
Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gor-
bachev. They renounced their
Soviet citizenship after the mas-
sacre of the Israeli athletes in
Munich, stating that they could
no longer be Soviet citizens
since the Soviets supplied
ammunition to the PLO.
Former residents of Tblisi,
Georgian SSR, USSR, the Golds-
teins were active in the unoffi-
cial "Phantom Orchestra." Com-
prised of Jewish activists and
non-Jewish human rights cam-
paigners, the "Phantoms" drew
attention to Soviet human
rights abuses, performing for
and visiting with foreign
tourists and journalists.
Most are members of the unof-
ficial Georgian Helsinki Agree-
ment monitoring group. In June
1985, the Tblisi KGB raided the ,
homes of nine members of the
"Phantoms," interrogating the
Goldsteins and others for sev-
eral days.
In 1978, Grigory Goldstein
was sentenced to a year in a
labor camp near the Arctic Cir-
cle for parasitism, after consis-
tently being refused employ-
ment because he had applied for
repatriation to Israel.
Upon arrival in Israel the
Goldgteins urged attention be
given to the hundreds of
thousands of Jews who want to
leave the Soviet Union.
The Jerusalem Day celebra-
tion will feature a concert at
Southfield-Lathrup High School
by Aric Sinai, Israel's leading
contemporary folk-pop singer, at
7:30 p.m. Thursday. The Golds-
teins will address the audience
prior to the performance.
The evening will conclude
with the blowing of 19 shofarot
individually and in unison in
honor of the 19 years that
Jerusalem has been a city where

all faiths can practice freely.
Sol Lachman is chairman of
the Jerusalem Day celebration.
Jerusalem Day marks the 19th
anniversary of the reunification
of Jerusalem by the Israel De-
fense Forces in the 1967 Six-
Day war. The local celebration
is jointly sponsored by the De-
troit Zionist Federation, Ameri-
can Zionist Federation and other
local Zionist groups.
Lachman said that he is still
in need of some men in the
community who can blow the
shofar and would like to partici-
pate in the concluding cere-
mony.
The Goldsteins' visit to De-
troit is sponsored by the Detroit
Zionist Federation and by the
Friends of the Soviet Jewry
Education and Information Can-
ter.
Four boys in the Detroit
Jewish Community have twin-
ned their b'nai mitzvah with
Avi Goldstein, and have been
notified that he has won the
right to live in Israel and will
soon be in Detroit.
