In September of 1979 a young special education teacher and speech pathologist had arrived in New York. His immigration status – political refugee. Two suitcases, eighty dollars, and limited English, that is all he was able to bring with him from the Soviet Union. The story looks like thousands of stories that have taken place in the 70s and the 80s when a mass exodus of Soviet Jews was made possible by the world community. What separated this young man from the thousands of other whose stories were also unique, was what he went through before he was able to land in the country of his dream?
