— Radio Teheran today broadcast a message from a group calling itself the “Jewish Union” appealing to Jews in Iran to hold only religious observances on Passover, according to Israel Radio monitors. The group said that Jews throughout Iran should not hold celebrations this Passover, in view of the war between Iran and Iraq. Instead, funds which would have been spent should be donated for the good of war refugees, the broadcast said. Only a small Jewish community is left in Iran, following the emigration of many Jews since the fall of the Shah.
