Dr. Moshe Sneh, Jewish Agency leader, who has been visiting Rumania for the past week, today lauded the “renaissance” of Jewish life in the country. He also stressed that many of the Jews were leaving for Palestine, not because they were facing a hostile regime, as they had done in the past, but because they were attempting to strengthen their ties to their culture. He said that be found the Jews more “Zionist-conscious” than ever before.
“I was most favorably impressed with the unbroken morale of Rumanian Jews — even among the widows and orphans of the Jassy massacre,” Dr. Sneh stated. “Rumanian Jewry is not only morally intact but it is going through a period of renaissance,” he asserted. Reviewing his trip to many Jewish communities in the country and his visits to most of the Jewish institutions, Sheh said that ” for the first time in their ##story, Rumanian Jews are living under a regime in which they stand without reserve a basis of full equality.” It is making the “most sincere efforts to root out an ##tism,” he added.
