TEL AVIV (JCNS) -
Three ■ million Jews now livins:. in the Soviet Union inav disappear within the next 20 vears unless an effort is to preserve their Jewish consciousness, according tp Professor .Verniiahu .Branovet'. .
.Prof, Branover. is the . chairman -of Shainir, an. organization set up to inr tegrate Soviet inimi-grants. He rejected the claim that there hadbeen no di'op in the numbei- of Soviet Jews applying to emigrate to Isi-ael. He said the; statement • was "irresponsible and perhaps even a crime to the Jew-ish cause.":and called for a more realistic appraisal, ofthesituation. '
Many Jews In the Soviet Union had ali-eadv assimilated and many others were on the wav ' to assimilation.-Theeco- .■ noinic piosition ol the communiiv was generaHv. good, he said..
The only material reason lor them to leave the Soviet Union was vthe
. spark ot relmious or na-tiorn] consciousness. We . preserve this spark and Ian it into a flame if. we wish to save any sigr^ nifiCant portion of our brothers in .the Soviet Union." .'
. Already many- eiiir-grants arrive in Vienna
. with the intent ion of mak-ing their home in Europe or overseas.discouraged by reports-of ditticulties in Israel:
Branover w:a§ even more disturbed . by the
■number of Soviet Inimi-.
, grants who arrive.in Israel and integrate economically, biit tiion wish to leave because ol alienation from Israeli So-. cietv. ■ ;■
"W we wisti.to saveSo-viet Jewry, we must first set things in order hei-e
■and try to reach adeeper understanding of Russian. Jews and their needs.
