many their troubled passage from the
former Soviet Union.
They have escaped from bondage
themselves," said Joanna Berger, a
long-time Beth Shalom member and
co-chair of the New American
Committee. "Many of these people
haven't had seders since they were 5
years old, and their memories of
Passover are of sneaking into syna-
gogues at 2 a.m. and of matzahs
baked in secrecy in the middle of the
night."
The Circle of Friends began as a
weekly conversation group where
members meet to socialize, practice
English and study Jewish history and
culture. Its 25 members say they are
happy.to be in the United States;
many are grateful for the chance to
be proud Jews. One new member,
Asya Dalbir, choked with emotion as
she read a passage from the
Haggadah.
The group's unofficial translator,
Genrikh Shif, a former English
teacher who emigrated from Moldova
in 1994, said he enjoys meeting
Americans and conversing with them.
He and his wife joined Beth Shalom,
along with several dozen other immi-
grant families.
Member Yuriy Muskin emigrated
to America from the former USSR
over a decade ago. "Before coming, we
only knew about our belonging to the
Jewish people through the attitudes of
our neighbors and co-workers. Part of
our discovery of American life is our
Jewish heritage," Muskin said.
Mark Goldsmith, congregation
president, said Beth Shalom's outreach
to new Americans is unique.
"We were very active in bringing
Soviet Jews to the United States, and
we knew once they were liberated that
our job wasn't done. We wanted to
make them feel welcome in the Jewish
community and we wanted them to
be a part of Jewish life. We believe
that a synagogue setting is the best
place to achieve this.
The Circle of Friends is the most
developed branch of the congrega-
tion's New American Committee,
founded to cement the newcomers'
entry into Jewish communal life.
Goldsmith noted that the immi-
grants who have joined Beth
Shalom are a plus for the whole
congregation. Its very invigorating
for veteran Americans to share in
their sense of yiddishkeit and watch
the new Americans become
enthralled with Jewish culture and
religion," she said.
