TORONTO —
Can Yeladim. the city's first kosher day care centre, opened recently after two years of planning.
Two classrooriis. with a capacity for 34 children, have -been leased from — Beth Emeth Bais Yehuda Synagogue for the centre, ■ which will cater to children in the 2 to 5 years age group.
At present, there are 15 children attending. The cost per child is $60 per. week. All four staff members have degrees in early childhood education.
"Wc  adhere to the ■strictest kashruth, under, supervision of Canadian Jewish Congress." said
Dorothy Lipovenko, a Toronto newspaper reporter, ; who with five bthers set up an organizing cotrimittee in the fall of 1978. She said children get a hot .dairy lunch and two snacks. Not only is the food-kosher but the rnilk is "cholov Yis-roel," (strictly supervised), she added: _
The centre closes early for Shabbat and is closed on Jewish holidays.
The philosophy of the centre is to provide a "stimulating environment and enable the children to learn through direct experience." explained Lipovenko.
Penny Gilary, one of the members of the fpijhding committee and a programmer for the centre, said
the children do niitzvot at their level, such as sharing, they say prayers bcl'ore each meal and learn a few. words in Hebrew. : ;
One recent morning at 8:30. aftereach child was greeted by . the teacher with "bpker tov^ (good morning), one little, boy explained he was wearing a kippa and warned his. friend not to touch, the Hannukah menorah or else he would burn himself. Another group was making chalah out of play-doh.and a third group was learning tocount.^
The organizing committee was sparked by a 1975 study. prepared by the National Council of Jewish Women, that indicated
81% of the 571 families surveyed wanted day care. with jfewish content and more than hajf want it kosher. After Lipovenko read the report, she said. "I floated the idea on people I knew" and" some expressed interest for kosher day care.
All donations to set up the centre came from private individuals, said Gilary. Once a site, was found which met fire, health and safety regulations; and a license was granted by the provincial governmeiit, the classrooms were renovated to make them suitable for younger children. The centre is a noii-profit charitable organization.
Henry Ruschin said he
became involved with the centre two years ago because he was sending his son to a~day care centre in a church. '_|My son was looking : at a cross arid saying there's my school''
"We see this as the first of a number of centres,-' said Lipovenko. There is a need for another one in the Woodbine-FinGh area aind, she added, she hopes to see more branches and satellites opening.
Meanwhile, the children heard the story of "Fuzzy was a bunny" and..after stretching and twirling around, quietly read their sepharim (books).
For more information about the centre, which is open all year, phone 638-17.16.

Despite falling temperatures on an unseasonably cold June night.-about P5 people turned out last week for ah all-night vigil' for Soviet . Jewry which started at 11.59 p.m. and concluded at 6 a.m.
Sponsored by. the'Committee of Soviet Jewry. Ontario region, of Canadian Jew ish Congress, the vigilniarkcd  the lOth
anniversary of the Leningrad trials as well as the second anniversary of exile for Refusenik Ida .Nudel and Vladmir Slepak.
Sitting on chairs, dressed warmly and wrapped in blankets, about 50. mostly students, remained for the whole vigil after an address by Canadian Jewish Congress president lr\\in Coiler.
He warned his audience
that "vacation time in the West is prison time in the Soviet Union.
■"Whenever we relax vigilance in the West. that is when the arrests, the harassments begin in the Soviet Union. But the inverse is also true; that advocacy in the West can help to liberate people frorii prison or at least mitigate the harshness of prison conditions.
"Let us remember." he
JIAS calls for outreach
(Cont'd, from page 1]
the National Budgeting Coiifereiice. has entered into an agreement to reimburse each cimimu.nity for all direct expenditures in-eurred in the resettlement ot the Soviet Jews. Each -comniunitv must make a detailed report to J1.4S annually of what has been spent. .
In addition, a national inter-agency consultative CO mm It tee. has been struck, composed of professional arid lay people from the communities, to look into needs across the
country. The committee uill provide the communities with up-to-date inform mation on federal and provincial immigration laws, such as categories of admission.
In short, immigration and integration will become more and more the responsibility of each com-munitv.rnuch as it is m the United States* with JIAS making the major policy decisions.

Settle in Israel
JERUSALEMfZINS] —
Only 6.OOOcVf the 30.000 'Jews who have fled- from : Iran have .settled in Israel. However: of this number a mere 330 have regustered for Israel citizenship, while the balance, have listed themselves for the time being as-"temporary residents." according to information issued by the Absorption Ministrv.
Men as he  A mi da her, -executive director of the .Union of Iranian Emi.-grants. ■ stated  that the ; government of Iran is permitting thd emigration of Jews but evcry-immigrant.. IS limited to the export of onlv SI ,00Q from Iran. For this reason the number of : emigrants from Iran has .fallen in the last few months:;' ^ - ■■
He further noted that so far there has. been no pressure against Jews who still remain in Iran..The number is estimated to be about 50.000.- ■
Some 30.000 Jews have emigrated to America. England. Switzerland. France and Australia.
A bad week for the P.M.
[Cont'd, from page 1]
President Caner told.a group of Jewish journalists, "we will.not negotiate with the PLO and we will • not recognize PLC status until the PLO recognizes. Israel's right to exist.':' Secretary "of State: Edmund Muskie,' commenting on the EEC pronouncement, affirmed the U.S. will not let the.PLO into the peace talks while it IS bent on Israel's destruction. And even the. PLO was unhappy, saying the EEC was trying to save the U.S.-sponsored Camp David accords and that the PLO should be associated with the negotiations right from the start.
(where the national JIAS office is) ue dp not knpw what-is going on in. say. -Saskatoon or Sarnia.'" Kage said.
The national committee will bring standardization to the immigration services ot all the communities. What is'a "case" (is It a tamilv. or an individual?), and when IS a case considered closed? Ihe committee will decide on such questions... . This will enable each community to know what the other is talking about and also fa^cilitate a fair', formula for subventing their expenditures, said Kage.
. For the most part the Soviet Jews have made an excellent adaptation to Canadian litc, said Kage. '-'They are vounger or middle aged, have good educations, especially in the technical fields, and have a good work.ethic — they do not hesitate to take -jobs:". .
Kage. however, warned: "Whenwe invited the Soviet Jewish immigrants to our shores we did not do so because we wanted them to have a bigger car or a better apartment, but rather; that their Jewish identification be saved.a, We: must remember that." '
continued, "that while it was one minute to midnight in Toronto, it was morning in Perm labor camp #35. in Siberia .—^ where Schafansky and other prisoners of conscience were beginning or ending another brutal, senseless day in the Gulag for the crime of being Jewish."
Cotler offers legal counsel not only to imprisoned Refuseniks Anatoly Sehar-ansky. Ida Nudel and Vladmir Slepak but also to the three other; Soviet Jews imprisoned for their part in trying, to escape Russia in an airplane in 19"0.
The all-night vigil program included hourly events in which many from: the community partici-
pated.
Executive director of CJC chaplaincy services Rabbi Sheldon Steitiberg, began the vigil with, prayers for the well-being and speedy release of the prisoners.
Vigil prx)gram coordinator Jeanette Goldman described the morning services at 6 a.m. led by Rabbi Steinberg as a "moving experience. .The men wore their prayer shawls and phylacteries and reid from the Torah (as it was Thursday) vyhich had been specially brought to the City Hall for the vigil," she said.
Richard Orzy and .Sheldon Disenhouse, two law students who spent last sufnmer in the Soviet Union visiting Refuseniks
and aictivisis in major cities, recounted their experiences, Mrs. Goldman reported.
An historical overview of Jewish life in both Czarist and Soviet Russia by Allan Gould, writer and broadcaster, and films on Soviet Jewry and Israeli and Russian nxusic, plus a reading by high -school, student Henry Abramson of a poem by Irving Layton, sustained the interest of those plucky enough to remain all night, she said.
Vigil chairman was. , David Sadbwski.
