"If we are not together, I don't want to live at all," he wrote. "Don't worry; everything will be okay," the doctor would write back. "We'll be together again." Tsivya learned the only way she could see her hus- band, albeit briefly, was to invite him for a month's visit. In the meantime, Isreil's children decided to move to Israel. Isreil realized he might not see his son, daughter-in-law and two teen-age grand- daughters again soon, but he chose the month with Tsivya. She sent him the papers, and Isreil applied immedi- ately for a visitor's visa. Isreil left almost every- thing behind in Baku, corn- ing to New York with two small suitcases of seasonal clothing and $370 in exchange money. He also brought a wedding ring. When he arrived, Soviet friends in the Big Ap- ple whisked Isreil and Tsivya off to a justice of the peace, where they finally became legally married. Through the Jewish Fami- ly Service's Resettlement Service, Tsivya has applied for her legal permanent resident (green) card, after which Isreil can apply for his, as a family member. Isreil has received clothing through the JFS warehouse; his guest privileges at her apartment have been ex- tended and the couple is stu- dying English. It has been a long journey for Dr. Tsivya Shapiro. As a young girl, she wat- ched her father wear his tallis and daven. He taught her about Shabbat, holidays and traditions and Yiddish, but also that for believing in and doing these things, Jews could suffer beatings. Tsivya is struck by the irony that she worked 40 years in the Soviet Union for a meager pension of 130 rubles a month, but now receives assistance in America, where she never worked. "America is very warm," she said. "It hugs us like a mother." And then there is Isreil. "Tsivya is the typical pic- ture of the Soviet woman: strong and hard," says San- dy Hyman, director of the Resettlement Service. "But when Isreil says he loves her, she blushes like a 21- year-old." ❑ Save Big Bucks •PASSPORT • SPECIAL $7.95 $2.00 off 24 exposures $14.95 • 1 set $3.00 off 36 exposures $1.00 off 12 exposure or disc (on developing and printing 110,126.135.
