Selichot Service The entire Jewish community is invited to hear Leonid Feldman, one of the most dynamic speakers on the Jewish scene today. Feld man will bring to Ahavath Achim Synagogue a timely and poignant message prior to the Selichot Ser vice on Saturday night. Sept. 27. The Selichot Service ushering in the High Holiday season will begin at midnight and will be conducted by Rabbi Arnold Goodman, Rabbi Marvin Richardson and Cantor Isaac Goodfriend assisted by the High Holiday Choir. It is a tradi tionally beautiful service and a sig nificant prelude to the “Yamim Noraim,” the Days of Awe. Feld man will address the congregation at 10:30 p.m., following a coffee hour beginning at 10 p.m. A remarkable young man hav ing a profound effect on American Judaism, Feldman is a living ex ample of the drama of modern Jewish history. In his 28 years, he has experienced total assimilation, Jewish rebirth, violent anti-Semi tism, imprisonment in Russia as a Zionist activist, and freedom in the Leonid Feldman West. In the United States only since 1980, Feldman is already fluent in English; he lectures throughout America to Soviet Jews on Juda ism; and to American Jews on Soviet Jewry and his own odyssey to Jewish commitment. He was a chess master in the Soviet Union,, holds a master in physics degree from the Soviet Union, and is cur rently a rabbinical student at the University of Judaism in Los Angeles. Feldman received no formal Jew ish education. The only thing he knew about Judaism was that on the internal Soviet passport, his “nationality” was listed as “Jew,” not Russian. He also knew that this meant something negative. At a Soviet university he met a few young Jews—intellectuals— who secretly gave him a book on Jewish history. This was his turn ing point—the beginning of the “second life” of Leonid Feldman. Inspired by what he read, Leo nid turned to Judaism and found that it was the source of his iden tity. This identification with Juda ism, the Jewish people and Israel brought him into conflict with the anti-Semitic Soviet environment. By age 21, Leonid knew that the only way he could be at peace with himself would be to leave the U.S.S.R. He applied for an exit visa, was refused, and then began his struggle with the rigid Soviet system. The Soviets put him into a KGB prison where Leonid under went harsh treatment until his hunger strike led to his freedom. Seven years ago, Leonid Feld man was a Soviet citizen who barely knew he was a Jew; he was an “A” student in “Scientific Atheism.” Today, he is a free man in America, studying Jewish philosophy and inspiring thousands with his story. Feldman is regarded by the Sem inary faculty as one of the most outstanding students in its history. South State Mortgage, Inc.
