mer Soviet Union already have
fled. Those who remain have de-
liberately decided to cast their
lots with a society whose track
record with Jews offers little
cause for optimism. Is it the
moral duty of American Jews to
provide these people with the
substance of the Judaism they
now crave? Or does that just en-
courage them to remain in a so-
ciety that may be on the brink of
a new fascism?
Mr. Levin argued that the re-
ligious and cultural renaissance
helps develop a strong Jewish
identity among Soviet Jews, and
that this increases the likelihood
that they eventually will immi-
grate to Israel. Worsening eco-
nomic and political conditions
may also increase aliyah, he said,
citing recent statistics in the
Ukraine, where the number of
Jews immigrating to Israel has
increased because of worsening
economic conditions.
The same kinds of difficult
choices face American policy-
makers. American aid to the
Yeltsin government may be a
small drop in a huge bucket, and
even before the current drive in

Does giving Russian

substance sway
them?

Washington to slash foreign ex-
penditures, it was inconceivable
that the United States could pro-
vide enough aid to make a real
difference in President Yeltsin's
drive for survival. But the cur-
rent wave of budget-cutting in
Washington will make Russian
aid much harder to sustain.
Yet, the alternative — aban-
doning Russia and other Soviet
republics to their internal furies
— is unthinkable, especially since
Russia remains the world's sec-
ond biggest nuclear power. The
specter of that power in the
hands of a Vladimir Zhirinovsky
compels us to act, even when that
action seems hopelessly ineffec-
tual.
President Yeltsin, he said, is
still "the only game in town" for
U.S. policymakers. But develop-
ing strategies for supporting the
embattled president, he said, is
difficult.
So Jewish leaders and officials
in Washington share having an
enormous vested interest in the
agonies of the former Soviet
Union, but essentially are being
spectators in this high-stakes dra-
ma. Jewish leaders will continue
to do what they can to convince
Russian Jews to leave, knowing
that it will never be enough —
and to help those who stay be-
hind, knowing that their actions
may just strengthen the ties that
bind so many Jews to this nation.
