Letter from Morris Brafman about Soviet Jewry Memorandum (1967)
Dear and Esteemed Friend: I have asked the office of the American League for Russian Jews to mail you a copy of the Memorandum that we presented to the 25 National Organizations in the American Conference for Russian Jews. Because of your genuine concern for the Jews in Russia, and the leading position you occupy in the effort to help them, I wanted you to be informed about our proposal. I have given my promise to the Chairman of the Conference, Rabbi Israel Miller, to entrust this Memorandum only to the spokesmen of the 25 National Organizations, and to a select group of dedicated friends.I would, therefore, greatly appreciate it if nothing is written about it in any newspaper in order to give the 25 organizations a fair chance to consider it and make their decisions.I know I can count on your discretion, and remain,Respectfully yours,Morris BrafmanMB;RCSpecial Delivery
