March of Dimes BIRTH DEFECTS FOUNDATION WASHINGTON Five rabbis, still in prison garb after serving time for demonstrating too close to the Soviet Embassy, renewed their protests Tuesday en route home from jail. Gathering at the gate of the embassy, they read aloud a letter addressed to Soviet Secretary-General Mikhail Gorbachev and were told by a voice from an intercom that it should be mailed because it would not be accepted at the door.
The letter, said in part: "We will not rest until every Jew in the Soviet Union is allowed to flee your vicious persecution. The horrible lesson we learned from Nazi Germany (at whose hands your country suffered greatly) is that we can not afford to be The rabbis again were within the 500-foot radius that is supposed to be demonstration free, but police made no attempt to arrest them this time. The suburban Maryland men reunited with their families following the letter-reading. Steven Bayar of Greenbelt, said daily 15-minute vigils outside the embassy will continue as they have for 13 years. He said another demonstration is scheduled next month with civil disobedience actions that could lead to further arrests.
The other rabbis released from the federal prison in Petersburg, were David Oler of Gaithersburg, Bruce Kahn of Chevy Chase, Mark Levine of Silver Spring, and Leonard Cahan of Potomac. District of Columbia Superior Judge Colleen after refusing to accept her original sentence of six months probation and a $50 fine. The 15-day sentence was reduced to 12 days because of credit for time spent in jail when they were arrested, good behavior, and the Christmas holiday. Cahan, who began growing a beard in prison "as a reminder of the suffering of Soviet Jews," called the incarceration, "the most meaningful experience of my entire life." He said he was moved by the "outpouring of support" from the other prisoners and people outside. All of the rabbis, wearing fatigue jackets and boots from the prison, said they were treated well and, although kept in separate cells most of the time, were allowed to eat and pray together.
Oler said they worked as orderlies at the minimum security facility and were treated no differently than other prisoners. A total of 45 rabbis and one Lutheran minister have been convicted in two trials this month for violating a city law prohibiting protesters from demonstrating within 500 feet of embassies. Demonstrators frequently break the law to draw attention to their causes. While prosecutions have been brought for actions at the Soviet Embassy, charges have been dropped routinely against about 3,000 people arrested over about a year of demonstrations at the South African Embassy.

April 4, 1966-March 18, 1983 Oh, call my brother back to me. I cannot play alone: The Summer comes, with flower and bee. Where is my brother gone? The flowers run wild, the flowers we sowed. Around our garden tree; Our vine is dropping with its load Oh, call him back to me. He wouldn't hear thy voice, fair child, He may not come to thee: His face that once like summer smiled.
On earth no more thou'lt see. A rose's brief, bright life of joy, Such unto him was given. Go, thou must play alone, Thy brother is in Heaven. And has he left his birds and flowers? And must I call in vain? And through the long, long summer hours Will he not come again? And by the brook, and in the glade, Are all our wanderings o'er? Oh, while my brother with me played. Would I have loved him more.
