Weiner; “however, by the end of
the trip, 67 of the 69 kids were

The countries to be visited on
the Mission include Germany,
Austria, Rumania, France and
Israel. The Mission will spend
two weeks in Europe and four
weeks in Israel. The program in
Europe includes a

personalities of

supported by UJA dollars. In
Israel, the Mission will travel
throughout the land, meet with
the top leaders in every village,
with students, with new
immigrants and will make an
in-depth study of the country’
and its problems.
The cost per person,
including overseas flights, all
travel abroad, meals and hotels is
$1,400. Applications for

The UJA is conducting its 7th
University Students Mission this
summer. Participants will be
selected on the basis of potential
for leadership on the campus
and in the community. The
Mission is co-educational, with
students from throughout the
country who have completed
their freshman year of college
and are under the age of 24,
eligibile for participation.
Miss Weiner, in describing her
experiences of last summer, said
“We saw the land of our people
- Israel, their pride, their hope,
their determination, and all of a
sudden, I realized it was my
pride, my hope and my
military training or to those
who, by the nature of their
activity, are involved in the work
touching upon the national
interests of the Soviet Union.”
During 1972, “as in the
previous years, the competent
Soviet authorities gave careful
consideration to all applications
by persons of Jewish nationality
who, for various reasons —
dissociated family, religious
attitude, impact of Zionist
propaganda — express a wish to
leave the Soviet Union for Israel
and, as a rule, comply with such
requests,” the statement
declared. It added that since “all
types of higher education in the
USSR are provided free of
charge,” reimbursement “is not
unusual and is applied in many
countries.”
The statement again cited
exceptions to and reductions in
the education tax requirement,
based on old age, length of years
of work in the Soviet Union and
for persons going abroad because
of marriage. It added “no
compensation for education is
levied in cases of Soviet citizens
leaving for Socialist countries.
The statement also
commented on “certain persons
of Jewish nationality imprisoned
in the Soviet Union that are
being cited by Zionist
propagandists and those in their
service.” Such persons, the
statement said, had been
condemned by Soviet courts for
iTcriminal offenses” and
“naturally, their nationality or
their desire to leave for Israel are
in no way connected with these
judicial decisions.”
UJA Students Mission Seeking Applications
“Where do you begin to tell
about six of the most profitable
weeks of your life?” So began
Miss Linda Weiner, daughter of

the opportunity to visit Europe
and Israel under the auspices of

SOVIET UNION
EDUCATION TAX
UNITED NATIONS, (J TA) -
I'he Soviet Union has again
detended its education tax on
Soviet Jews seeking to emigrate,
this time in a press release from
the Soviet Mission to the United
not send me to college. All I got
was words, “Zei Nisht Kein
Nahr, Hub Saichel, Voo Toreh
Dorten Is Chuchme”. The years
have blown, the world had
turned, things I’ve forgotten,
things I’ve learned. Yet this 1’11
always remember, “Zug Dem
Emess, Gib Tizedukah, Hab
Rach Munis, Zei A Mensch.”
Today there are Jews, mostly
young, who are willing to enter a
synagogue and perform a few
traditional ceremonies, for the
sake of their parents. This is, by
no means, an unworthy motive,
for consideration of parents
often senes as a bridge from the
period of ignorance to the
period of knowledge. Tomorrow
these former young people, now
mature-parents, will wish their
own off-springs to live more
piously. Transitionally the
modern parent says to the
Rabbi, “I will ask my son or
daughter if he or she wishes to
attend Hebrew School to
become Bar Mitzvah or Bat
Mitzvah, but 1 will do nothing to
urge either, as
their desire”.
Although we now face a
crossroad of a nominal
attachment to the synagogue or
the choice of a road blessed with
the rich inner feelings that result
from the observance of Jewish
rites in a house of worship, 1 call
upon you to enroll your children
in educational groups with
Rabbis who are wanting the
chance to teach customs,
symbols and ceremonials. This
practice in Judaism will give our
children and generations to
come, a better understanding of
their life on this earth. Shalom
Uvracha v’Chol Tov.

WITH OUR RABBIS
Before the tangibles that
today’s affluent society bestows,
Jewish parents gave their
children far greater and
meaningful intangibles thru
words of wisdom and examples
of their own ascetic lives. An
illustration from an unknown
author of yesterday follows:
When 1 was young and
fancy-free, my parents had no
fine clothes for me. All I got was
words, “Gottz Zu Danken, Gott
Vet Geben, Zul Men Nur Leben
Zein Gesunt”. When I was ready
to travel far, they did not
provide for me with a car. All 1
got was words. “Geh pamelach,
Geh Gesunt. Hub A Glikliche

increase my knowledge, they did
