Feeling the Yeast

To the Editors:

Thank you very much for the great article “The Yeast of Russia” in your April issue. It is amazing how true this article describes feelings of the Russian Jew. Deep in my heart I feel that “Judaism is mine” too. I think I had this feeling, since I was able to understand that, somehow, I was very much different from the people who spoke Russian as I did, but were not born as Jews. I was born as a Jew. I did not quite understand the meaning of it, but I knew very well that it was a big courage to be one.
