A week of solidarity with Soviet Jewry will be observed in 20 countries next month to coincide with Chanukah. It will start in London on Dec. 4 with the kindling of the first Chanukah light. This will be the signal for the kindling of lights in Paris, New York and Sydney, spreading to hundreds of towns and cities in four continents. In Britain, the solidarity week is being sponsored by the National Council for Soviet Jewry.
