Leningrad Jews experience
frustration over Passover
NEW YORK, (JTA) - The
dramatic story of how a group of
Leningrad Jews celebrated
Passover despite harassment by
Soviet authorities was reported
by Mrs. Lynn Singer, president
of the Long Island Committee
for Soviet Jewry.
The following information
was related to her by Jewish
refusniks in Leningrad whom
she called.
One hundred Jewish refusniks
wished to celebrate the Passover
holiday together. Since there
was no home large enough to ac
commodate them, they rented a
cafe in Leningrad, paid the ren
tal fee, and made plans to con
duct a seder. As they arrived at
the cafe on the eve of Passover,
they found the place closed.
When they complained to the
management, stating they had
paid a fee and had been pro
mised the use of the facility for
the evening, they were told, “the
cafe was closed for inspection. It
was the right of the Soviet
authorities to decide when a
building was to be inspected,
regardless of whether it had
been rented.”
Disheartened at the prospect
of not being able to hold the
celebration as a group, and
frightened by the knowledge
that the cafe had been closed on
orders of the Soviet police, who
had somehow learned of the
planned seder, the mood of the
refusniks was somber. Yet, 77 of
the original 100 decided to walk
to Voestaniye Square and enter
the public dining area in the
Oktyabrskaya Hotel;
Arriving at the hotel, the
group was denied admission at
the hotel entrance. After ex
plaining that they were justified
in seeking admission because
they wished to dine in the public
dining room, the hotel manager
called the KGB to report the
attempt of the Jews to enter the
of the first seder night of
Passover. Seated at tables in the
now overcrowded dining room,
Jewish voices broke out in song.
Soviet Jews do not know the
words nor the meanings of the
songB of the Seder. TTiey are not
allowed to study the ritual, nor
to learn the order of the seder.
What they sang were the songB
of modern Israel, songs that
were taught them by Jewish
tourists who visit the USSR,
songs learned from records that
tourists bring as gifts for Soviet
Jews.
Tourists who had been dining
Undaunted, the Jewish refusniks proceeded to
pass out pieces of matzo to the tourists.
hotel. Following lengthy
negotiations between the hotel
manager and the KGB, the 77
were allowed into the hotel din
ing room.
As the group entered,
members of the orchestra,
evidently aware of the en
counter, suddenly began to play
a traditional Yiddish song,
Frailach. Whereupon the
manager of the restaurant
promptly dismissed the
orchestra, lbe music stopped as
suddenly as it had started.
But, there was to be music in
the dining room of the
Oktyabrskaya Hotel on the eve

in the restaurant joined in and
began to clap their hands and
stamp their feet as the 77 Jews
burst into song. A group of
Rumanians interrupted their
dinner to sing Rumanian songs,
encouraged by the Jews. The
dining room manager, by this
time thoroughly frightened by
the possibility of reprisals
against him by the Soviet
authorities for permitting the
celebration, ordered the
orchestra to return and to play
loud patriotic Russian music to
drown out the sounds of the
singing, and to stifle the holiday
atmosphere.
Undaunted, the 77 Jewish
refusniks proceeded to pass out
pieces of matzo they had
brought to all the tourists in the
restaurant who had attempted
to celebrate with them. Finally,
at 10 p.m., the group was asked
to leave the hotel. Normal clos
ing time for the restaurant is 11
p.m., but this night of Passover
the hotel was ordered to close
the restaurant one hour early.
As the group of Jews left, the
orchestra which had continued
to play loud Russian patriotic
music, began to play a popular
Russian ballad titled "It Is Not
Our Fault,” or loosely
translated, "We Are Not To
Blame.” “It was the musicians’
way of telling us that they were
sorry we could not conduct a
proper service.” they said.
