Of these, 97 have been resettled in Columbus. This year should see the largest exodus of Soviet Jews in history, with another 22,000 expected to arrive in the United States by the end of December and an increasing number going directly to Israel. In addition to the 97 mentioned above, another 100 Soviet Jews will be resettled in Columbus by Dec. 31, according to Federation Board action on Oct. 25. An emergency national meeting was held on Oct. 11, in which the sudden opportunity to resettle 18,000 additional Soviet Jewish refugees was discussed It was at that meeting that all communities were asked to 1 accept a proportionate share of the 18,000 (with Columbus' share being 100). Between Jan. 1 and Sept. 30, 1990, another 66 Soviet Jewish emigrants will make Columbus their" home, bringing Columbus' total of resettled "New Americans" to 263 within less than two years. For decades, American Jews have spared no effort so that their brethren behind the Iron Curtain could emigrate and begin new lives in freedom and dignity. In December 1987, nearly 250,000 Americans rallied in Washington, D.C. in support of Soviet Jewry. Earlier this year, the national United Jewish Appeal, in partnership with Jewish Federations throughout America, launched its Passage to Freedom Special Campaign for Soviet Jewry to help pay for the refugees' resettlement in Israel and the United States. To date, almost $40 million has been raised toward the goal of $75 million and the funds collected have been distributed for* overseas and local resettlement needs. Columbus' own "Passage To Freedom" efforts have raised just under $800,000 toward a goal of $1 million. Under the leadership of Co- chairs Herbert Glimcher and Jack Wallick, Vice- Chair Miriam Yenkin and Honorary Co-Chairs Samuel M. Melton, Jerome Schottenstein and Leslie H. Wexner, efforts are still underway to involve all those who have not yet made a 1989 "Passage To Freedom" contribution. Checks may be sent to the Columbus Jewish Federation, 1175 College Ave. 43209. Phone pledges are being accepted, with payment required prior to Dec. 31. ' 'We have come to begin a new life," said Alexander Fridgan, an engineer from Kharkov, who had just arrived in the United States with his wife, son and in-laws. "We were on the bottom," said Helen Polevoy from Kiev. "With all the economic difficulties, everything was blamed on the Jews. You had to tell neighbors that you weren't Jewish or they wouldn't let their kids play with your kids." "Being a Jew, I had an uncomfortable feeling all the time. I left because I wanted my children to have the opportunity to make their lives without any man or government in • their way," said Gregory Varchnyansky, a mining engineer from Kiev. On Sept. 28, 1,356 Soviet Jews landed at Kennedy Airport in New York City. This was the largest group of Jewish refugees to arrive in the United States on any single day since the end of World War II. For further information or to make a pledge call 237-7686. 'Yitz' Greenberg To Lead In-Depth Study Series At Agudas Achim Nov. 15 "The Agudas Achim Synagogue is pleased that. Rabbi Irving Greenberg, president and co-founder of CLAL (National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership), will inaugurate their in- depth study series on "Genesis: Images and Mysteries" on Wednesday, Nov. 15, at 7:30 p.m., announced Herbert Glimcher, chairman of the Board of Trustees. Jerilyn Wolman, chairwoman of the Program Committee, noted that the Agudas Achim is gratified to be the first synagogue in the United States to offer an opening lecture seminar presented by CLAL scholars. CLAL is a North American- based organization dedicated to preparing Jewish leaders to respond to the challenges of a new era in Jewish history. Co-founded by Rabbi Greenberg, Elie Wiesel and Rabbi Steven Shaw, CLAL's basic principle is that education and renewed encounters with Jewish sources and vital Jewish experiences are the keys to renewed religious growth. "Genesis: Images and Mysteries" was selected as the theme for study since the Torah is the wellspring of Jewish ideas and values from which all of Jewish insight, knowledge and tradition flow," Wolman stated. Temple Israel To House Homeless Temple Israel will soon become Columbus' first Jewish congregation to join an interfaith housing coalition by • bringing three to four homeless families to the synagogue to eat and sleep there for a week. Between 12-18 persons will stay at the Temple from 6 p.m.- to 7 a.m., Sunday, Nov. 5, through Friday, Nov. 9. The participating congregations are expected to repeat this involvement bi-monthly. Thirty-two Protestant and Catholic churches in Columbus are already involved in the interfaith effort by helping homeless families that, for the most part, have been evicted or otherwise lost their homes recently, undergone economic hardship or been anguished by loss of the household breadwinner. "Our Temple family is housing Homeless families because we must," said Rabbi Bradley Bleefeld, spiritual leader of Temple Israel and the driving force behind this Temple social action effort. "It is our Jewish tradition and dedication to "Tinkun -Olam" (to repair and improve the world) that prompt us as a faith arid as a community to help the less fortunate. The prophetic vision of putting values into practice is the basis for the Reform movement and we, at Temple Israel, are responding to our fellow hu- manbeings."
