Todd Helfman
Shares Bar Mitzvah
Todd Helfman will share his
bar mitzvah with Igor Iosovich,
in absentia, at Cong. Beth
Shalom on Sunday at 10 a.m.
Igor is the son of Iosip and
Zoya Iosovich. One year after
they applied for an exit visa,
they were turned down with no
reason given. Iosip was fired
from his job two years after the
application was filed.
Until 1970 Iosovich was chief
agronomist in a kolkhoz (collec-
tive farm). After that he
became chairman of the
kolkhoz. From 1974 to 1979 he
was assistant director of a
souvenir producing factory. His
wife Zoya worked as a
laboratory technician in a food
factory.
In Jaunary 1979, Iosovich's
parents and brothers left the
Soviet Union. In March 1980,
Iosovich and his family submit-
ted emigration papers to join
them in Israel. He waited more
than a year, but no word came
from the authorities. Finally,
when he questioned local of-
ficials, he was told that if he
had not received an answer it
meant that he had been denied
a visa.
Although the officials gave no
reason for the refusal, they told
Iosovich not to trouble himself
by making further inquiries.
Zoya's mother and brother were
also turned down, even though
they too had received invita-
tions from first-degree relative's
in Israel.
Todd is the son of David and
Marleen Helfman of Oak Park,
the grandson of Rosalind
Weisenburg, Natalie and Sid
Riskin, all of Lake Worth, Fla.
Todd will read from the Torah
for both he and Igor.
Ryan is the son of Allyn and
Nita Stearn of West Bloomfield
and grandson of Paul and Mary
Teens To Twin
B'nai Mitzvah
vah with Alik Maliy of Cher-
novtsy, Ukrainian, USSR.
Alik's father, Israel Maliy, ap-
plied to emigrate to Israel in
March 1979. He was refused on
the grounds of army service
which he completed in 1969,
ten years before his visa
application.
Alik's mother Fira has a
brother who has been in Israel
since 1978 and her family longs
to be reunited with him.
Ryan has written several
times to Alik and the congrega-
tion will honor Alik in absen-
tia during the bar mitzvah
service.
Jared Hurvitz, son of Harvey
Hurvitz, and Matthew Kent,
son of Marilyn and Michael
Kent, will share their bar mitz-
vah on Saturday at Cong.
Shaarey Zedek with Alexander
Gilman, son of Evgina and
Boris Gilman.
The Gilmans, who live in
Gomelsky Oblast in the Soviet
Union, applied for exit visas to
Israel in 1979. Having had no
access to military or scientific
secrets, they did not anticipate
any problems or complications.
They wished to join Gilman's
parents and his father-in-law
who live in Israel.
Permission was denied to
both and they lost their jobs.
They have reapplied since 1979
but have continued to be refus-
ed permission to emigrate.
JAred and Matthew have
been writing to their twin for
more than a year. The com-
munity can write to the Gilman
family at Mikrorayon 2, Dom 1,
Apt. 308; Zhlobin, Gomelsky
Oblast, Bel. SSR, USSR.
