He lauded the idea of an
intercongregational dinner
and said it should be
duplicated throughout the
country. "Jews," he said,
"must work together to con-
tinue the achievements of
the past."
The U.S. Supreme Court
was given particular praise
by Rabbi Saperstein for its
years as the protector of the
Bill of Rights. But he
criticized recent decisions of
the court which are overtur-
ning years of civil rights
legislation.
He described the shift
toward democracy in East-
ern Europe as an opportuni-
ty and a danger for the small
Jewish communities re-
maining in the Communist
bloc. The democracy move-
ment is leading to more

word processing class, but I
decided to come here at the
end of July," Paretskya said.
"Here" is a two-bedroom
apartment in Sterling
Heights where the couple
has lived together since
Paretskya arrived.
Slowly they began estab-
lishing their careers and
furnishing the apartment.
But it wasn't until last mon-
th when they bought the liv-
ing room sofas that they felt
financially secure enough to
set a wedding date.
Paretskya became a secre-
tary at Jewish Resettlement
Service in October. Two
weeks ago her co-workers in-
troduced her to an American
tradition - the bridal shower
where she received kitchen
goods and lingerie.
Speaking about their plans
a few days before the couple
tied the knot, Paretskya said
they have never seen a re-
ligious wedding ceremony.
In the Soviet Union only
civil weddings are perform-
ed.
"I'm not sure what we
have to do during the
ceremony," Paretskya said.
The couple's only guidance
is a booklet which Rabbi
Feder gave them.
Both Fingerman's and
Paretskya's relatives tried
to keep their Judaism alive
while in the Soviet Union.
Now that the couple have an
opportunity to practice
Judaism, they are not going
to let it go to waste.
"We wanted to have a Jew-
ish wedding," Fingerman
said.
Although the couple has
lived together for seven
months, the ceremony
means a lot to them both.
Paretskya, who will change
her name to Fingerman,
said, "We'll feel more like
husband and wife."
Last-minute jitters didn't
seem to affect the couple, es-
pecially the groom. Before
the ceremony, he spent half
the day at work.
"He's a workaholic,"
Paretskya explained.
But Fingerman said,
"Why not? I have a lot of
work to do." ❑
