12'qriday, September 19, 1986 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

Dear Friends:
My mother, her sister, and
I, then a baby, arrived in the
U.S. exactly eighty years ago
on July 4. We had escaped
our little village in Russia
after a pogrom in which, I
was told, many had been
hurt. We traveled in steerage
aboard a steamer bound for
Boston. As we entered the
harbor, a big fireworks dis-
play for the holiday went off
in front of our eyes. My
mother, knowing nothing of
American traditions,
exclaimed in Yiddish,
"What's happening?" She was
frightened that we were in
the midst of another pogrom.
But persecution has not
been my experience since ar-
riving in the United States.
On the contrary, this country
has given us so much. Both
my husband Morris, now de-
ceased, and I were immig-
rants. We gave what we
could to the United States —
he as a soldier during World
War I, I as a member of the
first cultural delegation from
the U.S. to the German
camps after World War II.
Detroit, in particular, has
been good to us. When my
family came here in 1916, we
did not have much. Detroit
gave us the opportunity to
make something of our lives.
Detroit also provided a set-
ting for my parents to prac-
tice their lifelong commit-
ment to Chabad-Lubavitch,
first at the little synagogue
on Alfred Street. For awhile,
it seemed that many people
had forgotten Chabad. As
adults, we became involved
in the group to revitalize
Chabad-Lubavitch, which
met in our home. Rabbi
Shemtov, who came to De-
troit in 1960 as an emissary
from the Lubavitcher Rebbe
Schneerson, was an inspira-
tion for our efforts. Our
Lubavitch community has
grown since then, as more
and more people became in-
terested. Their support has
helped to establish the net-
work of schools, camps, and
houses that we now have.
Why am I a Chabad-
Lubavitcher? I came into it
naturally. I come from a long
line of Lubavitchers on both
sides. I didn't know my
grandparents in Russia, but I
feel that they lived their lives
with dignity and pride. They
were good Jews. I feel
privileged that I was born a
Jew. It is in my blood, it goes
back centuries.
I am concerned about the
perpetuation of our people.
Our young people today are
searching for something
spiritual. They don't know
where they belong, or to what
they may return. All during
this century, the children of
Jewish immigrants have been

becoming Americanized at
the price of losing their roots.
We saw this assimilation
happen in Germany, too, in
the twenties and thirties, and
we know the terrible price
paid there by children who
lacked the education to com-
prehend their own persecu-
tion. The massive forgetting
of roots in this century has
hurt all of us.
One of the things that the
Lubavitchers have done is to
become visible on the scene
with our young people in col-
lege towns and urban areas.
As an example on a more
personal level, long after I
became involved with
Chabad-Lubavitch, its work-
ers helped my son Isaac to
re-identify his heritage. The
tireless rabbis, their wives,
and even their children, also
visit hospitals, prisons, senior
citizens' homes, and many
other people in need. Their
actions are good deeds done
not for the thank you, but for
the accomplishment of the
good deed itself. Chabad-
Lubavitch respects all reli-
gions and embraces all Jews,
whether practicing or not.
The Lubavitch movement
would like to see more Jews
observing, more Jews under-
standing.
I have lived a long time,
and done many things. I was
privileged to be one of three
artists selected for the first
cultural delegation sent to
Germany after World War II.
In those times the people in
the camps didn't think about
music or poetry. The first
things to be done for them
were to feed and clothe the
body, give shelter, and take
away the fear — inculcated
in them — about survival.
After that, it was important
to provide food for the soul.
This meant different things
for the young and the old
ones. The children could
know nothing of our heritage.
All they thought about was
running, hiding, surviving.
The older ones could re-
member. So I sang Jewish
songs, Hebraic songs. They'
all needed to feel who they
were — that they were not
scum, or parasites, but that
we have a rich heritage that
binds us together, over coun-
tries and generations.
For myself, I know that I
am Jewish in my gut. I feel
good with my Jewishness.
When I was honored on my
eightieth birthday, at which
Isaac Stern performed in con-
cert, it was a great compli-
ment to me as a singer.
