'Education' Theme of Youth Council Drive
Early Camp Registrations Urged Second Session Wearing Capacity
"We are putting the emphasis on education for the Youth Council Philanthropies d r i v e this year" said Bob Hahn, Youth Council Campaign co-chairman. Randi Schumeister, co-chairman added: "For the past three Sundays we have been showing a film to the Omahi Jewish Youth through their respective organizations. Showing this film documentary on the atrocities of the Nazi war crimes to small groups seems to be most effective." Hahn continued: "We believe our primary task is educating Omaha Jewish Youth about the needs for philanthropies funds in our world today. Our goal is to create in them a spirit of philanthropy so they will be prepared to assume adult responsibilities, and at the same time make them aware that they have responsibilities as teens as well." The highlight of the Youth C o u n c i l campaign will be a Rally on Wednesday, April 14 at the Sheraton-Fontonelle Hotel.
"We are very pleased" said Edward D. Brodkey, Camp Committee Chairman, "with the number of early registrations we have received for the summer sessions at Camp Esther K. Newman. As a matter of fact, registration for the second session has almost reached its capacity." • Parents are urged to complete camp registrations now to reserve a place in this summer's program. More than 20 regular activities in addition to special events and programs will be provided for the children attending the camping session.
A special session for teens has been scheduled for August. The teen program will stress leadership training and will include teens from Omaha, L i n c o l n , Sioux City, Des Moines and Kansas City. "We have developed an excellent camp program" Mr. Brodkey said "and all children who want to go to camp will have the opportunity to do so. For that reason special camp scholarships are available to campers n e e d i n g financial assistance. Further camp information can be obtained from the Camp office, 342-13GG."
Camping out and fishing are two of the many popular activities at the Esther K. Newman Camp, the Jewish Federation resident camp for children and teens. SEASON DATES AND KATES ESTHER K.

The Soviet Union and Israel— An Unusual Relationship Haifa — Except for a brief break during and following the Sinai campaign, Israel and Russia, have maintained n o r m a 1 diplomatic relations. Yet it can hardly be s a i d that the relations have been warm or even normal in o t h e r areas . The commercial | contact w h i c h \ had been abrupt- * ly terminated by the Kremlin after Sinai has never Abeen Derl renewed. In the international arena Russia has voted against Israel on practically every matter of concern to this country. Moscow has furnished Cairo with arms, with money and with encouragejnent.
|
Despite all this, there is a continuing, a l m o s t desperate attenip on the part of Israel to penetrate the wall. Local observers, public figures and the press are quick to leap at each indication of a thaw in the Russian freeze. The attempts are made on official level as well. Ltvi E s h k o l has more than onte given the lead with his frank utterances displaying Israel sgood will. More than once lie lias hopefully "predicted" that a betterment in relations is not far off. His statements were almost invitations.
IL
Nahum Goldmann's words at a public meeting are still remembered: "1 hope that I shall coon be able to make the happy announcement regarding immigration to Israel from (he Soviet Union." ft had all the earmarks of an expectation, based, people thought, on sources available to Dr. Goldmanii. It is this expectation which Is ever uppermost in the minds of almost every Israeli. The feeling Is that no maU ter how unfriendly Russia may behave, no matter hdir hostile at any given moment, no Matter bow great (he provocation, and sometimes the provocation has been great indeed, Israel must always bear in mind the possibility (hat some day Russia's Jews will be allowed to come here, In smaller or in larger numbers. Therefore nothing must ever be done which may in any way Jeopardize that possibility. SOURCE OF HOPE Those who look for encouraging straws in the w i n d find many. The cultural exchange with Russia is broadening, and a steady stream of artists and performers is moving in each direction. More recently Russia has made known its desire to encourage Israeli tourism there, and organized groups are expected here as well. For many years negotiations had draggedon over the sale to Israel of valuable Russian-owned property in Jerusalem and elsewhere in the country. Last year the Soviet government .suddenly became much more flexible in its terms: it agreed to accept $1,5(10,000 for the property instead of the ten million s o u g h t , and also agreed to take part payment in Israel products. The latter was regarded as breaching at last the c o m m e r c i a l moratorium which had been in effect for tho past night years. AKMS FOR F.GYPT And yet there has been no cessation in the flow of Russian arms to Nasser and no diminution at the United Nations in Russian opposition to Israel in that forum.

"When me you going to take a stand on the issues and candidates in the city election?" With minor variations, this was the question I was asked by a number of people this week. "Who do you mean by 'You'" I asked each of my callers, "Do you mean me or the Jewish Tress?" Again tho answers were similar: "'As long as it's printed in the paper it doesn't matter whether it's in your column or a regular editorial." Hut it does matter There is a big difference between a signed editorial column such as this, and a regular newspaper editorial. As I explained in the first "Sidelines" column, The Jewish Press and the Jewish Federation arc nol responsible for any comments I make in a signed column. So—if I were to endorse candidates or issues, the endorsements would be mine and not necessarily those of the Jewish Federation. On the other hand, an endorsement by the Jewish Press in a regular editorial would indicate an expression of the feelings of the publisher—which is the Jewish Federation—which is in fact, the Jewish Community of Omaha. WOW! Can you imagine a political stand that would express the feelings of all Omaha Jews? I suppose that if George Lincoln Rockwell, or someone of his ilk were running for office, the Jewish Press could safely editorialize that his election might not be too good for the Jews. But a stand on other candidates by the Jewish Press is rather unlikely. 'Consider the Turtle' I am told that when James B, Conant was President of Harvard, he had on his desk a model of a turtle with the inscription: "Consider the turtle—he makes progress «nly »viitn he sticks his neck ool." This is of course, a scientific truth. A turtle cannot move forward while enclosed in his shell. It also seems to be my philosophy of life, and I frequently acquiesce to the temptation to be a 'progressive turtle'. Which means, of course, that I am tempted to stick my neck out and tell you how I intend to vote on Tuesday. I resist the temptation, not out of fear for my neck, but with the honest admission that I have no great political insights, and no real convictions that my choice of candidates will assure progress. But I'll Tell You This! I do, however, have strong" feelings about voting that I must voice, The history of the Jewish people—their persecu-
W * ~
tions and lack of freedoms for generations—should be enough to make every American Jew aware of, and thankful for, the privilege and responsibility of voting. Add to that the current activities in Alabama, and it is inconceivable to me that any American, who has the opportunity to do so, will fail to go to the polls op. April 6. YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT BUT ONLY IF IT IS AN INFORMED VOTE! How do you Know? The Voters Guide, produced by (be Omaha League of Women Volers, Is (he best source that I know for non-partisan Information about candidates. The Voters Guide is available at the League office, 224 South 41st Street, and has been included in (he Sun newspapers (his week. Study the Voters Guide carefully, and use your vole wisely on Tuesday. 'I heard—' I resisted the temptation this time, but I wonder if I'll be able to m a i n t a i n this restraint through the election on May 11. I heard a most interesting story about a certain council candidate—it seems that—but that's a long long story, and for now the turtle will return to the shell.

MRS. ROBERT GEREIJCK, Editor
by Kllene Halprin Two weeks f r o m t o n i g h t marks the beginning of the Festival of Passover. As we look forward to that first seder night, and think about the meaning of Passover, each of us will find different meanings. To me, Passover is one of the few times I observe the dietary laws of my Jewish heritage. In our modern society, it is very difficult to observe the laws of kashrut, but when I refrain from eating leavened food on Passover, I feel that I am doing a small p.Tt in preserving some of the culture which has been handed down to us by our ancestors. The question for this week is: "What does Passover Mean to you? Cheryl Weiss, junior: Passover is a time when we can be thankful we live in freedom. At tiie seder table we can recall the bitterness and hard times of our ancestors. The most meaningful part of the seder is when the prophet, Elijah, comes. As long as we observe Passover, our Jewish heritage will never perish. Don Kaplan, sophomore: Passover is a time that every-
one should observe. I wish I observe^ it more often. Konnie Rubin, sophomore: Regardless of the extent to which I observe it, it serves as a reminder of my Jewish heritage and what my ancestors have contributed to make Judaism what it is today. Jim Fried, freshman: The Passover period represents our freedom and we should value it as such. To me it is a time when I realize my heritage. I look back and see the oppressed Jew liberated f r o m slavery; the Jew who wanders in the desert, the suffering Jew; the Jew whose tradition lives on; and I realize more than ever my responsibility to carry on this tradition and heritage of JudaDonna Canfield, junior: Of all the Jewish holidays it's my favorite; I think I like it best because there's so much spirit around that time of year. I particularly like the seder. Francie Ilornstein, senior: This year the line from the seder "Next year in Jerusalem™ will become a reality tome.
