-V -i BiramiSaini Jews aire IbnaoDdliinig mewEeinrapDe Kew Gardens By HARRY DANYLUK "Some of the most immigrants must adjust to other social changes in life and in the style of worship, according to Rabbi Meir Kadosh, a third year rabbinical student who has worked with Iranians as part of the Shimush training program at Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary. REPLACEMENT ninoons VINYL OR ALUMINUM Tilt Windows Choice of Colors BOTH RABBI KADOSH and Rabbi Rosensweig, who are associated with Yeshiva University, stressed fete fry the fact that theologists are different in this country. "The rabbi in Iran worked with the congregation and read the Torah. He was an authority on problems Removable Sash Thermal Glass Windows Replacement steel or wood doors.

He was a volunteer and did not deal with the management problems at the synagogue," Kadosh said. ALUUIIlUr.1 SIUIIIG The Jews in Mashad were not allowed to practice ALL TOP BRANDS Pre Cast Stone their religion openly for 80 years until the shah's family came to power in the 1920s and they they worshipped under some restrictions, Rabbi Kadosh noted. "Now the Iranian Jewish community can practice Leaders Gutters Roofing Judaism in an open forum," he added. Many Iranian Jews who fled their native land when the shah fell from power are now helping to build a new synagogue in Kew Gardens. According to Rabbi Bernard Rosensweig, a spiritual leader of Congregation Adath Yeshuran at 82-17 Lefferts the new immigrants have already starting building the new house of worship across the street from Congregation Adath Yeshuran and hope to have it completed in early 1982.

Rabbi Rosensweig said the new congregation of Iranian Jews will include about 400 families. About half of them came to the United States and eventually Kew Gardens about 40 years ago and became an integral part of Adath Yeshuran, he said. When the Shah of Iran left his country in 1979 and Ayatollah Khomeini's government came to power, some 200 more Iranian families came to the United States and, again, settled in the Kew Gardens area and will be part of the new congregation. "IT IS HERE THAT the Iranians will be able to give their children a better education than they could get in their homeland. They were not able to send their children to yeshivas and Hebrew schools and you must remember that even under the Shah there were restrictions on Jews in Iran" Rabbi Rosensweig said.

The rabbi added that Iranian Jews are considered "second class citizens" by Moslems in that country. "There are no restrictions in the United States and the Iranian Jews in Kew Gardens will soon be looking for their own spiritual leader," Rabbi Rosensweig added. According to the rabbi, Jews from the town- of Mashad in Iran fled in January 1979 and eventually immigrated to Queens and have been seeking advice from other religious members in the borough. The new congregation, to be known as Congregation Shaare Tovah, will build its new house of worship across the street from Adath Yeshuran at Lefferts Blvd. and Abingdon, Road.
