I’ve read with great interest the different political articles in The Jewish Press, particularly those related to Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign and about his opponents’ activities.

I wish to let you know that I very much appreciate the fact that Sen. McCain has been a consistent and strong supporter of Israel and I also cannot forget his kind help to my family about twenty years ago.

During some extremely trying times in the Soviet Union, I had hundreds and even thousands of Jewish friends in the U.S. who were active in the struggle for Soviet Jewry and in my family’s personal case.

I do hope many of them still remember me. I would be so pleased if you’d publish the following letter to Sen. McCain in The Jewish Press.

Lev Shapiro
Herzliya, Israel
