Letter from Victor Weinman to R. Jung about Including Soviet Jewry Plight in Sermon (1966)

Dear Rabbi Jung: December 11th, which is Chanukah and United Nations Human Rights Day, has been designated by the American Jewish Conference on Soviet Jewry and the North American Jewish Youth Council as a day of national protest. I have already spoken to Rabbi Israel Miller and he has assured me that a directive will be sent to all Rabbis asking them devote their December 10th sermon to discussing the plight of Soviet Jewry. I am, therefore, asking you, as the Rabbi of the Synagogue which I attend, to consider implementing the above. I feel that the membership and friends of the Jewish Center will benefit greatly from hearing, on December 10th, not only what kinds of oppression and harassment are being enacted upon our brothers in Russia, but also what has and can be done to improve the situation.Impatiently awaiting a reply, I remainSincerely yours,Victor WeinmanYouth Chairman, New York Youth Conference for Soviet Jewryc.c.
