And therein lies a tale. For while organizers stressed the fact that virtually every segment of the Jewish community participated in the rally, the right-wing element of the Orthodox movement did not. In part because some of their leaders, including Rabbi Eliezer Schach of Israel, came out against the rally on grounds that it would be harmful to the Jews of Russia to protest and that quiet diplomacy is the favored policy. The small Agudas Harabonim organization came out publicly against the rally. The powerful Agudath Israel movement in this country maintained a neutral position on the rally, neither condemning it nor taking part in it. In Baltimore, the Ner Israel Rabbinical College, Talmudical Academy, Torah Institute and Bais Yaakov School for Girls had agreed — after some varying degrees of reluctance, according to in- siders — to participate in the rally. But when it was learn- ed during the final week that Mary Travers would be per- forming, in violation of the Halachic prohibition against Jewish men hearing a woman singing, they withdrew their participation. Nationally, according to Gerald Strober, about 50,000 people attended from the greater Washington area and more than 30,000 from the New York area. Organizers now admit that they had expected between 70,000 and 80,000 people, with the weather and the Washington area turnout be- ing the single biggest un- knowns. They arranged for a sound system to accom- modate about 120,000 people, which is why almost half of the crowd never heard the program, much less saw the speakers. But despite that frustra- tion, those who attended ex- pressed a sense of deep satisfaction at having taken part personally in such an historic occasion. "There was a sense of being part of a larger whole," noted Maggi Gaines. "It's not often that you feel that your presence can make a difference, but this time it was true." She and others noted that the rally not only bolstered the cause of Soviet Jewry but the American Jewish com- munity's feelings about itself. Leonard Fein, the author, said the rally transcended na- tional politics and national Jewish politics. "Fifteen years ago," he said, "when this movement started, the Soviets figured they would wait three months and the tumult would die down. But this community has hung in for 15 years, and seen several hundred thousand Jews allowed to leave the USSR, and maybe the Kremlin is beginning to believe that our rhetoric is true: we're not go- ing to go away or be quiet un- til the Soviet Jews are out." ❑ White Hat Continued from preceding page pick up a brown bag as they passed through the boarding gate. Borman's had provided 877 bagels with lox and cream cheese and a container of orange juice. While Michael Berke helped distribute the Tauber doughnuts on Plane C, Tauber used the plane's public address system to issue demonstration instructions, set the tone for the rally, and thank Gilbert and Stuart Borman, who were aboard. "This sure brings back memories," said Southfield Judge Susan Moiseev. "I haven't done anything like this since 1972 when I stood in front of the White House to protest the bombings in Cam- bodia." Another veteran of many demonstrations, Detroit black leader Horace Sheffield, com- mented that he was glad to be going along "to give our sup- port." Sheffield was part of an 11-member contingent from the Council of Black Trade Unions. "It's all part of the
