Atlanta Lodge Sponsors
Free Bicentennial Pageant
The Atlanta Lodge of B’nai
B’rith is sponsoring a Bicenten
nial Pageant and Concert at 7:30
p.m. Sunday, Dec. 14, at the
AJCC. There is no charge.
The presentation will feature
the United States Armed Forces
Command band which has
received recognition as one of
the finest military bands in the
country.
The hour and a half show, en
titled “200 Years of Readiness,”
features songs from 12 periods
of American history performed
by the band and chorus, and a
multi-media presentation utiliz
ing three slide projectors.
Relating their reasons for
producing the show, FORSCOM
writes, “The ideals of our
nation's founders are not out
dated — they still inspire the
United States today.
“The challenges we are
meeting now are comparable to
the challenges faced by our
Founding Fathers when those
ideals were brand new ... Let us
dedicate ourselves to renewing
love of country and love of
freedom. They are our most
precious bicentennial legacies.”
Hirsch Bressler, who is coor
dinating the Atlanta Lodge’s in
volvement, expressed great
enthusiasm for the presentation,
noting, “The enormous success
of this stirring show makes it es
pecially exciting for us to be able
to arrange this for the com
munity.” i
Atlanta “Adopts” Soviet Prisoner

As part of the Women’s Plea
for Human Rights for Soviet
Jewry, the Atlanta Jewish com
munity is adopting a Prisoner of
Conscience in the Soviet Union.
Haim Renert, a physician, was
arrested in March, 1971 on
"economic charges.” It was
claimed that when Renert went
to check on his visa to leave, he
bribed an official.
He was tried in May of 1971
and sentenced to five years in
prison. In Atlanta the Women’s
Plea committee has obtained the
address of Dr. Renert and his
family. It is hoped that letters
will serve a dual purpose, said a
spokesman, “Giving moral sup
port to the prisoner and his
family, and serving notice to the
prison camp officials that people
elsewhere are aware of the
prisoner’s plight and are keenly
interested in his welfare.” The
spokesman added, ‘The greater
the volume of letters, the greater
are the possibilities for impact,
and, it is our hope, for his
freedom.
A report by Amnesty Inter
national, a London-based non
sectarian organization that
monitors the condition of
political prisoners all over the
world has confirmed charges
that “Jewish prisoners are fre
quently singled out for special
abuse’’ and that prison
authorities deliberately provoke
anti-Semitic acts against them
by non-Jewish inmates.
Names and addresses and
guidelines for corresponding
with Soviet Jews will be given
out at the Women’s Plea for
Soviet Jewry rally at 11:00 a m.
Tuesday, Dec. 10, at the Temple.
A detailed announcement of that
rally appears elsewhere in this
issue.
