General Chobrutsky, president of the Moscow Jewish Community which has its offices now in Tashkent, cabled to the Union of Orthodox Rabbis in New York that he has undertaken to see to it that Jews in Russia are informed of today’s world-wide Jewish Day of Fast and Prayers and are enabled to observe it. The communication is the first sent from here to a rabbinical organization abroad since the Communist Party come to power.
