ship and consider themselves
Israeli citizens forced to
reside in the U.S.S.R. Mrs.
Chernobilsky teaches
Hebrew and the family is
preparing themselves for liv-
ing in Israel.
During this past year, Mrs.
Cohen, a teacher at Thomp-
son Middle School in
Southfield, has written to
Mrs. Chernobilsky in Russian
and in Hebrew, with the help
of her students. To date, she
has received no confirmation
that her letters have been
delivered.

8th Grader
Shares Rite

Ilana Beth Rosenbaum, an
eighth grader at Hillel Day
School, will be called to the
Torah in honor of her bat
mitzvah this Shabbat morn-
ing at Congregation B'nai
Moshe. Ilana will symbolical-
ly share this occasion with
Irina Knokh of Leningrad.
Irina is the daughter of
Vladimir and Asya Knokh.
Knokh is a radio engineer,
and Mrs. Knokh is a music
teacher.
Irina, who has received
prizes for some of her musical
compositions, passed her
music school exams in 1983.
The Knokhs have a special
friend living in Lod, Israel.
The Knokh family first ap-
plied for exit visas in 1974.
They have had repeated
refusals since February 1975.
"Secrecy" is the reason listed
for these refusals. Despite
many setbacks, including
searches by the KGB, Knokh
and his family continue to
fight for their rights. He has
even given material help and
advice to other refuseniks
over the years, and he has
become one of the main
teachers of Hebrew in Len-
ingrad. In 1979, he renounc-
ed his Soviet citizenship as a
protest against official
anti-Semitism.
Ilana has written many
times to Irina and has sent
her an invitation to her bat
mitzvah service and celebra-
tion. She has not yet receiv-
ed a reply.
