(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
Complaints of the increasing influence exercised by the rabbis in Soviet Russia upon the Jewish youth were made at today’s session of the first atheist congress opened at Charkoff, Ukraine.
Speakers at the congress stated that Jewish children are attracted to the religious schools, the Chedarim, where they receive food and clothing. Religious concerts are also arranged where Jewish religious preachers deliver sermons which are often attended by members of the Communist youth organization.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
