Gershenson To Speak
At Soviet Jewry Concert

64 YEARS SERVING Nit THO DI TAO ,

SOUTHFIELD: 24777 Telegraph
353-2500
Other locations: Wayne and Lincoln Park

Joel Gershenson

Joel Gershenson, founding
chairman of the Soviet Jewry
Committee of the Jewish Com-
munity Council, will speak on
"Our Role in the Liberation of
Soviet Jews" as an introduction
to the Solidarity Freedom Con-
cert to be held at Mat Shalom
Synagogue on Wednesday at 8
p.m.
During his remarks, Ger-
shenson will announce the
launching of the "Empty
Chair" program in honor of
Soviet Jewish refuseniks (those
who have applied for exit visas
and been refused) to be con-
ducted by families each Friday
evening at Sabbath dinner.
A place is to be set at the
family table for an absent
Soviet Jew and a special
reading, distributed by the
Jewish Community Council's
Soviet Jewry Committee, will
be recited in the refusenik's
honor by family members.
Special attention will be
focused, by Gershenson on the
only remaining Soviet Jewish
Prisoner of Conscience, Alexei
Magarik, a cellist by trade.
Magarik's father, Vladimir, a

Jerusalem resident, will be pre-
sent at the concert in support
of his son's efforts to leave the
Soviet Union.
Alexei Magarik is currently
serving a three-year sentence
in a Soviet labor camp. The
charge is possession of drugs —
a small amount of hashish the
authorities said they found in
Magarik's bag when he was
preparing to fly home to
Moscow after visiting a friend
in Tbilisi, in the Soviet republic
of Georgia. Vladimir, however,
says he knows the charges are
false.
Alexei's wife, Natasha, and
son Chaim, anxiously await his
release. The Soviet Procurator
General's office has advised the
family that Alexei's sentence,
which began in June 1986, may
be reduced by half.
An expected crowd of 1,000
will be asked by Gershenson,
Concert Chairman Sharon
Hart, and Jeannie Weiner,
chairman of .the Soviet Jewry
Committee of the Jewish Com-
munity Council, to send cables
to the Magarik family and
postcards demanding Alexei's
release to Yuri Dubinin, Soviet
ambassador to the United
States.
lb open the evening's pro--
gram, Cantor Larry Vieder will
lead the audience in singing
the Star Spangled Banner and
Hatikvah. -
Pianist Emanuel Ax will per-
form a classical program in-
cluding works by Haydn,
Brahms and Chopin.
Tickets for the Solidarity
Freedom Concert, being spon-
sored by the Soviet Jewry Com-
mittee of the Jewish Communi-
ty Council, are available at the
door.
