Soviet Jews' plight lamented
Problems Jews face in the Soviet
Union today are a symbol of the
Soviets’ failure to create a perfect
society,” said Professor Baruch
Gurevitz at a presentation given last
night in the HUB.
Gurevitz, a professor at the
University of Tel Aviv on a lecture
tour discussing the problems of Jews
in the Soviet Union said Jews are
unable to find their national
fulfillment there.
“Most Jews are nationally com
mitted to another land and that land
is Israel,” Gurevitz said.
The Soviet Union, according to
* Gurevitz, decided to let some of the
American leaders issue protests

They are also not allowed to give their
