He is best known for his success
in communicating with
non-religious Jews, bringing
them to a living religion. “Jews
today have passed the age of
nationalism and are giving the
soul its due,” says Rabbi Riskin.

Embassy officials confirmed on
April 25 that 18 Russian Jews
who have been living in a rotting
Vienna tenement house for up
to three years will be allowed to
return to the Soviet Union.
Communist sources, who
reported that the Jews had
received the visas, said the
Soviets granted the visas as a
“goodwill gesture”, for the May
Day holiday May 1. The 18 are
part of 96 former Soviet citizens
who emigrated to Israel but,
according to them, found that
life there too demanding and
wanted to return. But the
Soviets refused them visas
because they had taken Israeli
citizenship.
The Russians rented
apartments in a slum tenement
building on Malzgasse Street
from a Jewish businessman.
They were often used as cheap
labor because many had no
official work permits from the
Austrian authorities.
AFL CIO HEAD URGES U.S.
TO WITHHOLD FAVORED
NATION STATUS TO USSR
WASHINGTON. (JTA) )
Al l -CIO president George
Meany has declared that "under
no present circumstances should
the Soviet Union be granted"
most favored nation status from
the United States. Meany’s
statement followed the White
House announcement that the
Soviet leadership has
"suspended'' the education tax
on Jews seeking to leave for
Israel.
"The President has no solid
evidence that the Soviet Union
has abolished or will abolish its
infamous head tax,” said
.Meany's statement made
available to the Jewish
telegraphic Agency today.
“ I here is no evidence at all that
the Soviet L mon would keep its
promise even it if made such a
pledge openly_and publicly
which it has not done Indeed
the Soviet Union has an
unbroken record of breaking its
word every time she gives it.”
Meany urged the 76 Senators
who have already declared their
opposition to granting the Soviet
Union MFN status pending its
removal of restrictions on
emigration “not to weaken in
the face of the White House
campaign. There is no present
indication that the Soviet Union
has earned or deserves any
special concessions paid for by
the American taxpayer, ” Meany
added.
