Dear David: I’d like to invite you to join me in a dvar mitzvah – and one that is urgent and pikuach nefesh. The enclosed letter is one I received from a Russian Jew who spent 27 years in Siberia, and is now trying to get his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter out of Russia. The letter is self-explanatory. We have to help, and I’d like it to be done as soon as humanly possible if we’re to be of any assistance. First, call Western Union or RCA and send off the following telegram (a night-letter os cheapest) to: 1. Ambassador Dobrynin, USSR Embassy, Washington DC; and 2. Minister of Interior, Moscow, USSR JUSTICE AND DECENCY DEMAND PERMISSION FOR DR. BENJAMIN SCHAPIRA AND FAMILY OF BELGOROD OBLASTNOI TO BE REUNITED WITH THEIR FAMILY IN ISRAEL. URGENTLY IMPLORE YOUR INTERCESSION. PROF. NORMAN LAMM Ask the telegram people to send you copies of the cables as soon as possible.
