Beat the heat...

to introduce him to
synagogue life when he first
arrived, his main interests
were focused on finding a
place to live, a job, and learn-
ing English. But when he had
settled in a bit, after about a
year, and was ready to explore
the new horizon of
synagogues and Jewish com-
munal life, the organized
Jewish community had lost
interest in him. "Just when I
was getting curious, they had
given up on me," he said.
He recommends concen-
trating on providing the
newcomers with the basic ab-
sorption and resettlement
needs first, and then in-
troducing them to the range
of religious and communal
experiences.
But others say that if we
wait too long, we'll never at-
tract the newcomers to
Jewish life, particularly in

terms of a Jewish education
for the children.
Either way, it is our respon-
sibility to give these Soviet
Jews an opportunity to ex-
plore their Jewishness and to
encourage them to provide
their children with a Jewish
education. In a very real
sense, we are a mirror for the
newcomers. -If they see us
placing real value on Jewish
education, synagogue par-
ticipation and organizational
life, they may follow our lead
and do the same. But if they
see us paying lip service to
these causes, or simply en-
couraging them for others,
they will realize soon enough
that it is all a sham.
Our future and their future
are inextricably linked; when
we strengthen our own com-
mitment to Jewish life, we
help the newcomers - and
ourselves. ID
