Apparently thanks to NASA, the movement to free Soviet Jewry started in USA! It was founded in 1963 at Beth Israel-The West Temple in Cleveland, so we were extra happy that Jewish Federation Of Cleveland hosted a screening of Operation Wedding at the
West Temple. Director Anat Z.K is pointing at the sign that says: "Hear the cry of the oppressed THE JEWISH COMMUNITY IN THE SOVIET UNION"
How is all that related to NASA? People who worked for NASA and were also members of the West Temple learned that USSR doesn't let people leave and even more so - that Jews in USSR want to leave! And that's how it started, in a nutshell!
