The three rabbis staked out the accepted positions of their denominations, but made no headway in reaching accomodation. Soviet Jewry At Center Stage S oviet Jewry was a focal point of the Council of Jewish Federations meetings. With the Dec. 6 Washington Mobilization the topic of several sessions, a ma- jor resolution, and an early morning Miami Beach run were devoted to Soviet Jewry. More than 250 delegates participated in the five kilometer Freedom Run/Walk for Soviet Jewry at 6:30 a.m. last Friday despite heavy overnight rains and threaten- ing skies at race time. The CJF resolution calls Soviet Jewry "a burning national concern" and "we call on all federations to provide whatever resources are neces- sary to ensure a maximum representation" on Dec. 6. Saturday night, the CJF delegates participated in a dialogue with recent Soviet emigre Ida Nudel in Jerusalem via a satellite transmission. Nudel, who is coming to Washington Dec. 6, thanked the Jewish people for supporting her during her 16-year struggle to emigrate from Russia to Israel. In halting English, she asked for the same kind of support for all Jews who remain in the Soviet Union. "After the Holocaust, we must save all Jews in lands of persecution. And I would tell (Soviet Premier Mikhail) Gorbachev that you can not make Jews` into Russians." The cause of Soviet Jewry also received a boost from the 1960s folksinging trio Peter, Paul and Mary, who perform- ed at the Wednesday evening plenary. Opening with their popular "Blowin' In The Wind," "If I Had a Hammer," and "Puff the Magic Dragon," Mary Travers then had the crowd cheering as she describ- ed her visit to the Soviet Union in 1983 with a Union of American Hebrew Con- gregations delegation. Describing herself as 'the towering shiksa," Mary dedicated a Hebrew song to the Soviet Jewish refuseniks. "It is a song that I have never recorded," the fifty-ish grand- mother said, "but the KGB has." She asked the audience to join her in Washington on Dec. 6. Peter Yarrows led the au- dience in "Don't Let the Lights Go Out," a popular number which he said he wrote for Chanukah and "as an expression of my own Jewishness." U.S. Aid Cuts A Mixed Blessing? A worrisome assess- ment of Israel's out- look for U.S. economic and military aid was presented by AIPAC Director Thomas A. Dine. With the U.S. federal deficit an increas- ing concern, and federal budget cuts almost assured, Dine outlined several steps that should be undertaken by American supporters of Israel. He said Israel must be pro- tected from drastic U.S. aid cuts, but the prospects are bleak. He said Israel's long- range debt payments may be relieved by privately refinan- cing U.S. loans from the Yom Kippur War. Israel's interest payments of $1 billion per Thomas Dine year could be reduced by $150 million annually if Congress approves the refinancing plan. Additional steps to offset reductions in U.S. aid include making the two-year-old free trade agreement between the U.S. and Israel as success, and opening the U.S. and NATO to Israel defense goods and services. Dine said Israeli exports to the U.S. rose eight percent in the first seven months of 1987 while U.S. exports to Israel rose 30 percent. However, there are glitches such as Federal Aviation Adminstra- tion rules which prohibit Israel from bidding on civilian aircraft repair con- tracts. Dine said Israel's high technology expertise can help the U.S. and NATO countries while offsetting the worst ef- fects of the cancellation of the Lavi jet fighter project. Dine also advocated U.S. support for Israel's new anti- missile missile, the Arrow; giving Israel a one-time ex- emption to buy naval equip-
