A world wide day of prayer for deliverance of Israel and world Jewry from tensions, and for deliverance of Jews in the Soviet Union from persecutions–without identifying the Soviet Union by name was proclaimed here today by Israel’s Chief Rabbinate. The date fixed is Thursday, Iyar 29 (May 23).
A proclamation signed by Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Nissim, called on Jews all over the world to congregate on that day in their synagogues “for prayers and supplications for deliverance from stress, for strengthening Israel’s might, and for making Jewry worthy of full redemption.”
