Our weekly email is chockful of interesting and relevant insights into Jewish history A tireless activist for Soviet Jews now needs a lifeline of her own When I started working on my history of the Soviet Jewry movement almost seven years ago attempting to tell an epic story that took place over three decades (mostly before I was born) involved a cast of thousands and demanded I describe how the Cold War was lived in America But most daunting of all was the fact that this history was still so fresh I never heard just one version of a Soviet Jewry story with each narrator claiming a monopoly on the truth.  a sounding board who would help me weave my way through this history without feeling the need to put herself at its center I found that person in Enid Wurtman.  It's unusual for me to take to these pages in the first person but there is something special about Enid that requires it Not only has she spent her life as a tireless activist but she is also one of the most selfless individuals you could possibly meet – never simply devoted to the abstract notion of a cause but rather to improving and helping the lives of those who are at the heart of it.  "No one spent more energy in Israel to help those former refuseniks than Enid." – Natan Sharansky she was diagnosed with kidney failure.  She now goes to long dialysis sessions three times a week Her name is on the waiting list for a kidney donation but at this rate that will take eight years and the doctors tell her that is just too long to wait She needs a kidney from a donor now.  I first walked into Enid's office in Jerusalem in the spring of 2005 I handed over a list of a few hundred names of former refuseniks – Jews who had applied to leave the Soviet Union and were refused – with whom I was hoping to speak Enid gave me phone numbers for all of them She seemed to intimately know everybody in this community.  a man who had lived in refusal for nearly two decades in the Soviet Union and had run a risky network of underground Hebrew language learning classes He now looked like a disheveled professor though minus the Trotskyite goatee he was wearing in a photo plastered onto an old protest poster leaning against one wall of her office He called Enid an "American barbarian" when she served lunch on paper plates and she shot back that he was a "male chauvinist." It was clear from the banter that they had known each other a long time both in their early 30’s and from Philadelphia made their first visit to the Soviet Union an eight-day trip to Moscow and Leningrad They met Soviet Jews who had been denied exit visas and were suffering all kinds of deprivation – losing their jobs having their children thrown out of universities She felt as if she were seeing an alternate vision of how her own life would have turned out if her grandparents hadn't left Russia And she decided that she had to devote herself to helping these new friends.  she became involved with the local Soviet Jewry organizations and returned to the Soviet Union two more times in the 1970’s to visit Yuli and others One of her contacts was Anatoly Shcharansky (now Natan Sharansky) she brought out a tape of Shcharansky rambling sweetly to his wife Enid felt she could no longer fight for others who were being denied the right to live in Israel while not taking the step herself She felt she could no longer fight for others who were being denied the right to live in Israel while not taking the step herself She never stopped working for Soviet Jews though writing a column for the Jerusalem Post and keeping track of all the details of the activists' lives – who was being detained Yuli said there were years when they spoke on the phone every other day.  we could stand all the suffering," said Yuli "If these two million came out to freedom and if several thousand didn't die about Enid is that even after Soviet Jews began arriving in Israel in the early 1990s – including Yuli whom she greeted at the airport – she refused to stop her advocacy So many activists decided that the story was over when the Soviet Union ceased to exist But hundreds of thousands of Jews needed to be absorbed and – what struck Enid so distinctly – often those refuseniks who were the heroes of the movement needed the most help they had lost their professions and many found themselves destitute unable to subsist on the pensions provided them by the state.  keeping track of those former activists who need some kind of welfare and making sure they get it.  "No one spent more energy in Israel to help those former refuseniks than Enid."  told me: "She is the most selfless person I know Not once in the quarter-century that we have worked together has she asked for anything for herself." He also said that "her efforts on behalf of those former Soviet Jews now in Israel who have fallen on hard times was who made a documentary about the movement called "Refusenik," was also helped enormously by Enid whom Bialis has come to think of as one of her closest friends She marveled at the endless stream of people who showed up at Enid's bedside after her first serious battle last April with kidney failure.  there were at least another three to five friends by her bedside," Bialis wrote in her own appeal for Enid "Every time I called to check in – different people were there I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised.  She has touched so many lives - hundreds of people must have come to visit We were all shocked and saddened that our pillar of support was in such a serious condition."  who continues to work even through her illness.  But she badly needs a kidney transplant And it would seem to me – someone who has chronicled some of the great work she has done in her life and been touched personally by her incredible generosity – that if anyone deserved the help of others If you have information on potential kidney donors or would like to inquire about helping Enid Wurtman, please contact [email protected]  This article originally appeared in The Forward Enid's Hebrew name is Esther Leba bat Falla Sarah Gal Beckerman is the author of When They Come for Us, We'll Be Gone: The Epic Struggle to Save Soviet Jewry Thank you for signing up for the aish.com free newsletter The ACES team recently made site visits to Vance Air Force Base and Woodring Regional Airport in Enid Vance AFB is responsible for training Air Force student pilots for worldwide deployment andAerospace Expeditionary Force support and is the northernmost Undergraduate Pilot Training base in the Air Education and Training Command Pilot Training Transformation (PTT) is a new training curriculum with Vance AFB being the first base to implement it at scale PTT has two different tracks from which student pilots will earn their wings The cornerstone of the popular Undergraduate Pilot Training 2.5 track is the use of Immersive Training Devices (ITDs)–virtual reality (VR) aircraft simulators which can save time and money by allowing students to practice maneuvers outside the cockpit and logs more than 74,000 flying hours in the T-1A Jayhawk Air Force student pilots graduate from pilot training at Vance each year The team also visited Enid’s Woodring Regional Airport to check out the 14,400-square-foot heated community hangar and eight new joint-use box hangars as well as the reconstruction of its south ramp The Department of Commerce was instrumental in helping provide funding for the project The projects not only benefit the community but also help advance Vance’s mission as the joint-use hangars and ramp can be used for base-related operations in severe weather Oklahoma Department of Commerce900 N.

But the number that stood out above all was 168 "It killed grandmothers and grandfathers who is now in his 80s and is still practicing law in Enid the first encounter with Timothy McVeigh in El Reno "Completely different than the walkout at Perry and I've been appointed to represent you,' and he said 'You may begin where you want to begin.'" He can speak candidly about the case because it was ruled that Timothy McVeigh waived his attorney-client privilege it changed very quickly to his views of the present government and what had happened at Ruby Ridge with the shooting there and what happened at Mount Carmel with the Branch Davidians," Jones said why was it necessary?' And I named two of the children who died in Oklahoma City 'What was their contribution to your-- Why did they have to die?' he said children died at Waco." McVeigh was convicted and condemned to die "I certainly didn't see any evidence that he was afraid of death or tried to avoid it," Jones said co-conspirator Terry Nichols escaped a death verdict in his own trial "He didn't want life in prison," Jones said "I sometimes think that true justice would have been the execution of Terry Nichols and life imprisonment for Mr I will not represent you on appeal," Jones said taking an emotional toll on him and the community but the average Joe Sixpack was probably critical," Jones said the people who influence public opinion in Oklahoma But the average person understood it."
