Jews throughout the United States will begin tomorrow a two-day period of prayer for Soviet Jewry. Twenty-four national Jewish organizations are sponsoring the prayer observance. The call for prayer days was issued by the Synagogue Council of America. The services will emphasize the denial to Soviet Jews of rights granted other religious groups by the Soviet Government.
