If you are a Jewish group and hold your meeting elsewhere, there still is no charge for the film, but you must furnish your ownequlpment.

Nice program, huh? (A filmstrip. is a series of still photos,, like slides, but all on one strip of film. The projector is simple to operate and the scripts are keyed to tell you when to move on to the next frame. Some filmstrips have cassettes to accompany them which beep when it's time for you to move on to the next picture.) Let's say your group wants to know more about the ArabIsrael conflict and wants a better understanding of how the Arab countries think. There are three cassette-filmstrips on that subject that would contriubtc to a stimulating program: WHAT IS THE MIDDLE EAST? IRAN, EGYPT, ISRAEL; SUEZ CANAL; and THE ARAB WORLD. Give Edle a call.

Yet during the same year of 1975, 51,000 Soviet Jews requested affidavits from their 'relatives in Israel or sought to renew expired affidavits - the first step in the emigration 'process — thus demonstrating the continuing demand of Jews to' leave Soviet Russia. .

Government-sponsored attacks against Jews take the form of articles, novels and television and radio broadcasts — often of the crudest sort — in a campaign that reaches tens of million of persons inside the Soviet Union and around the world. With increasing .frequency, mass meetings are called in factories, in offices and clubs to denounce Zionism and to attack Judaism. . When one. piece of Soviet antiSemitism, based on a Novosti press agency dispatch, was published by the Soviet embassy In Paris in September 1972, the editor of the embassy bulletin was charged with slander. In a decision that made French legal history, he was found "guilty of the offense of Incitement to discrimination, hatred or racial violence as forbidaen by French law." He was fined (April 24,1973) and ordered to publish a retraction. With the establishment of Israel in 1948, Jews were no longer considered "trustworthy" by Soviet authorities for leadership positions In the military and politics. In recent years, this discrimination has been extended, to bar Jews from top jobs In'
scientific institutions, universities and industry. Discrimination In university admission - the key to social and economic advancement — has also increased. From 1968 to 1973 the number of Jews enrolled - In graduate studies declined more than 20 percent (from 111,000 to 88,000). But while they are mcrwmlngly penalized for tbelr Jewish, origins, Soviet Jews cannot live asJews. <•* There Is no rabbinical training Iri the Soviet Union, no Jewish religious education and rf\o publication of Hebrew books or books on Judaism. (Such facilities remain available for other religious sects in the U.S.S.R.) Hebrew books sent from abroad have been confiscated or returned. There is only one synagogue in Moscow, one in Leningrad, one is Odessa, one In Kiev — the four largest Jewish population centers In the country, where (according to the Soviet census) nearly 700,000 Jews live.
literary artists were murdered. In the area of Jewish cultural and religious rights, Jews seek no special advantage. They ask simply for that which the Soviet' constitution guarantees tfnd which other officially-designated nationality groups receive. The first Brussels Conference for Soviet Jewry five years ago had an electrifying effect, not only on -world opinion, but also on the leaders of the Soviet Union and Soviet Jews themselves. For the first time, Jews Inside the U.S.S.R. organized themselves in a daring campaign of non-violent confrontation with Soviet authorities inspired by the Brussels Declaration that declared In part: W^J fl^SSG^SS^SSC^X X^A

"Now they are closing shut again, and the fate that awaits Soviet Jewry — and the struggle Soviet Jews are.waging to avoid that fate and.' remain part of the Jewish people — has.become'intimately Involved with questions of U.S.Soviet detente and trade. The JacksonVanik Amendment to the 1974 Trade Act linked the granting of most-favored-nation status ty the U.S. with a liberalization of Soviet emigration procedures. Then, early in 1975, the Soviet Union renounced its previous agreements and understanding with tbe U.S. on Jewish emigration. The decline In emigration became steeper, repression of Jewish life harsher.*
