Living in free, democratic societies, they struggle against a "spiritual Auschwitz"—loss of identity through intermarriage, small families and aging population, it was reported here by Nicole Gold- mann, executive director of the European Council of Jewish Communities. In an address at a session of the 52nd General Assembly of the Council of Jewish Federations here, Gbld- mann said the Jews in France and their institutions have come under vicious attack' from anti-Semitic elements, especially since Israel's invasion of Lebanon in June, 1982. She pointed out that the attacks require that up to five percent of the Jewish community budgets be expended for sophisticated security devices. According to Goldmann, the 750,000 French Jews participate in all areas of the. country's economic and political life, not only in commerce, arts and the professions, but also as factory workers and in government , (CONTINUED ON PAGE 5) Shamir Concludes U.S. Visit With Feelings Of 'Promise9 Active Leningrad Refuseniks Elena and Lev Bronshtein and their 20-year-old son, Alexei, pose in their apartment.

Karen Moss, who recently returned from a two-week trip to the Soviet Union, asked stating that "the many, many Jews with whom I visited in the Soviet Union have been waiting eight, ten, even twelve years to emigrate. They have made formal application to their government to leave the Soviet Union, based on the guaranteed legal right of individuals to be reunited with their relatives in their homeland—Israel. Israel Bonds Conducts Operation Maccabee '83 As part of its continuing effort to help strengthen Israel's economy, the Israel Bond Organization is conducting Operation Maccabee Stanley Moss '83 during the Chanukah season from Dec. 1 through 9 in more than 100 Jewish communities throughout the United States and Canada.

' Moss, who: participated in Maccabee Sunday while in Columbus on Sunday, Dec. 4, visited with individual Bond leaders and was the special guest for a New Leadership Reception held on Tuesday, Dec. 6. In a letter addressed to Jewish leaders endorsing Maccabee '83, Vigal Cohen- Orgad, Israel's new Minister of Finance, wrote: "With this mission at this critical juncture in our history, we hope that our friends abroad, who have never failed to respond to Israel's needs, will get a truer understanding of our economic problems and will assume an even larger share of our Development Budget." The emissaries from (CONTINUED ON PAGE U) "Lev and Irina Bronshtein and their children have been waiting since 1976," Ms. Moss continued. "What will become of this family and others like them? Their children face an uncertain and terrifying future. On our arrival at their apartment, the Bronshteins' lovely 11-year-old daughter, Irina, was politely "excused from the living room—after introductions were made and after she had presented each of us with a lovely tatted doily which she had made. Her parents, while maintaining a traditional Jewish household, wish to spare her the added anxieties which our conversation and our questions would most obviously bring to bear. "We must act now—both to educate our Congressional representatives to the urgency of the situation and also to rally public opinion and keep this case before the international bar of justice until justice and their freedom prevails," she stressed. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 5) NEW YORK (JTA)-At the conclusion of his first official visit to the United States as Prime Minister, Yitzhak Shamir said last week he returns to Jerusalem "with feelings of achievement and promise.",.? Addressing the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations here, just before he flew back to Israel, Shamir said that the talks he had in Washington with President Reagan and other, members of the Administration were "friendly, open and businesslike. We found a strong desire to cement the relationship between our two countries in a concrete and comprehensive manner." The Premier said that he found recognition in Washington for the fact that Israel is "a major factor for stability" in the Mideast and a true ally of the United States in the face of Arab instability and "of totalitarian aggression," instigated by the Soviet Union. Shamir said that Israel's economic problems, which he described as inflation and a growing deficit in the country's balance of payments, received an open ear in Washington. He said the United States agreed to establish "a free trade area with Israel," a situation that might increase meaningfully Israeli exports to the U.S. He said that Washington also agreed to increase the grant level of the total aid package Israel receives from the U.S. "The details are being now negotiated," Shamir said. He also said the U.Jl agreed to purchase arms manufactured by Israel. Jewish Community Blood Drive Scheduled For Dec. 22 At Center Do you weigh more than two 55 pound turkeys? Are you older than a 17-year-old buckeye tree but younger than a 66 year old tortoise? If your answer is yes to the above questions, then you meet the age and weight requirements for donating blood. Seventeen-year-olds can donate blood with parental consent, and individuals wishing to donate after the age of 65 need an okay from their doctor. Residents of Columbus who have decided to become first time blood donors for the Jewish Community Blood Drive on Thursday, Dec. 22, are reassured by Sol Derfler, coordinator of the Turning to the situation in Lebanon, Shamir said: "Our close consultations have highlighted the fact that we share common objectives (with the U.S.) in the Lebanese situation. We want to deter and check Syrian annexationist designs on Lebanon and Syrian aggression backed by the Soviets. The U.S. and Israel will tighten cooperation with the view to implementing the Israel-Lebanon agreement of May 1983, strengthening the Lebanese government and securing the withdrawal of the Syrian army and the PLO terrorists from Lebanese territory." Shamir said that his talks in Washington also dealt with ways to resume the now frozen peace process in the Mideast. "The peace treaty with Egypt is the cornerstone of the peace process," he said, but he warned that if Egypt continues with its present policy of stalemate, "the Israelis will have doubts regarding the willingness of any Arabs to make peace with Israel." The Premier said the issue of Israeli settlements in Judaea and Samaria was also brought up during the talks in Washington.
