Instruction of Jewish children in the Hebrew language will continue to be prohibited in the state schools of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, according to a decision of the Committee for National Minorities in the Soviet Union, of the Central Committee of the Communist Party.
The Committee for National Minorities considered the petition submitted to it, signed by 10,140 Jewish children, asking for the lifting of the ban on Hebrew. The petition was rejected.
