FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1988
Yuli, Eliezer, Inna and Mattityahu Kosharovsky
Also joining in the hunger
strike are Rabbis Norman
Roman of Temple Kol Ami,
Stanley Rosenbaum, Efry
Spectre of Adat Shalom and
B'nai David's Rabbi Morton
Yolkut and Cantor Stuart
Friedman. Eleven years ago,
B'nai David adopted the
Kosharovskys.
The fast began last Tuesday
night with members of the
Women's Hadracha of the
Jewish Welfare Federation
comprising the first minyan.
It will end on March 10, to
coincide with the date 17
years ago when Kosharovsky
was first denied permission to
emigrate.
For Wilson, helping to
organize the hunger strike is
just the latest of many efforts
to gain freedom for Kosharov-
sky, his wife Inna and their
sons, Eliezer, Mattityahu, and
Mikhail.
Her interest in the family
began about 11 years ago
when she read an article
about Soviet Jewry in The
Jewish News. Wilson wanted
to "adopt"- a refusenik fami-
ly and was given the name of
the Kosharovskys.
Like
many
other
refuseniks, Kosharovsky has
repeatedly been denied an ex-
it visa because of his access to
.state secrets. During his work
with the Scientific Research
Institute of Automatization in
Russia, the refusenik was, in
fact, privvy to such informa-
tion — but he left that posi-
tion more than 20 years ago.
Today, Kosharovsky has
gained fame among Jews in
Moscow for his work on behalf
of the Soviet Jewish com-
munity, and for his expertise
as a Hebrew teacher.
Mike Winkelman, who met
with the family three years
ago during a visit to the
Soviet Union, called
Kosharovsky a heroic leader
among the refuseniks.
Unfortuantely, his name
also is well-known to Soviet
authorities. Kosharovsky's
stepson, Mikhail, has been
harassed, at school, where he
was called "a dirty Jew," and
his wife has not been permit-
ted to work in her field of
mathematics, which she
studied at Moscow State
University.
Although they have never
met, and despite the Soviet
authorities' frequent in-
terception of their letters,
(Wilson has received only two
pieces of mail directly from
the refusenik family in the
past seven years), Wilson's
bond with the Kosharovskys
is strong.
She traces the friendship
with a collection of photos
that show Eliezer and Mat-
tityahu as young boys to more
recent pictures of them at
their current ages of nine and
six. Gazing at one of these she
asked: "How can people crush
them?"
Her home also is laden with
gifts from the Soviet Jewish
family, delivered by way of
travelers returning from
meetings with the Kosharov-
skys. These include a hand-
cut wooden bowl and a
tablecloth that Wilson uses
every Pesach.
"We're like family," she
said. "Writing to Inna is just
like writing to my sister. I
remember when she wrote
about wanting to have
another child, but they were
worried about what kind of
life he would live there."
Wilson also has written to
OVIR, the Soviet emigration
office, and to elected officials
in the area in her attempt to
gain freedom for the
Kosharovskys. Most recently,
she joined with other
members of B'nai David in
appealing to Sen. Levin, who
in turn wrote to Soviet Am-
bassador Yuri Dubinin and
Edward Fox, assistant
secretary for legislative and
