The anti-religious campaign in connection with the forthcoming Jewish High Festivals promises to be stronger this year than in any previous year, judging by to-day’s opening of the campaign.
The Central Board of Atheists has issued to-day a circular inviting all Jewish and non-Jewish organisations to participate in the forthcoming anti-religious campaign, directing a sharp attack against all religions, including the Jewish religion. The circular is supplemented by a programme of anti-religious lectures to be delivered before and on the days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. As if by an agreed signal, the entire Jewish Communist press has appeared containing articles against the Jewish religion, emphasising that the Jewish clergy in Soviet Russia, as well as in other countries, are serving the counter-revolutionary cause and aiming to overthrow the Soviet Government.
