T oday,

The university,
with its prestigious
reputation, was a
big attraction for
the Soviet Jews,
many of whom are
college-educated
professionals.

atives Marty and Gloria
Cohen of West Bloomfield

ing one's first exam.
The Soviet Jews, listening
with the help of Soviet-born
translators Viad Tsoglina
and Leo Paransky, asked
questions about such things
as tuition and the variety of
subjects taught. Some young
people even asked how they
might get to attend the
school.
The scientific and art ex-
hibits at the Hands-On Mu-
seum also had a special ap-
peal for the visitors, a
number of whom came with
families spanning three
generations.
Leonid Smorgonsky, an
automotive engineer in his
20s who came to the United
States from Moscow five
months ago, said, "I never
saw this kind of museum
where science is used for
play. Little children who
come to this museum might
end up being very scientific
adults."1=1

Soviet Jews with American
families. Shalom Sunday is a
program designed to en-
courage recent Soviet
emigres to see the Jewish
community as a resource.
The excursion featured a
brown bag lunch at the Ann
Arbor Jewish Community
Center, a tour of the Univer-
sity of Michigan's central
campus, including the
natural history museum,
and a visit to the Hands-On
Museum in downtown Ann
Arbor.
The university, with its
prestigious reputation, was
a big attraction for the
Soviet Jews, many of whom
are college educated profes-
sionals. Group members
were impressed by the size of
the university -- 35,000
students -- and by the
spacious campus.
"In the Soviet Union most
universities are in big cities
and occupy one or two
buildings, not the whole
town," said Kalish.
