Malachi 3:24
^
By MICKEY GERELICK "The Generation Gap"—a nev/ phrase in frequent use—a new label (or an old problem. It means many things to many people. It means drugs and beards and protest marches. It RSSSRS rebellion—against hynocracv. acainst old ideas and against "The Establishment." It means young people not trusting anyone over 30, and people over 30. in anguish about tho younger generation. But it's only the label that's new. "You don't understand" has always been a lament between parents and children. I've heard my children say it to me. I remember saying the same thing to iny parents. Some sav tiie answer is comnmnciation. "Tell It lilie II Is."' And that is the theme of this New Year's edition.
Telling It in Articles I mot this slimmer with a groui) of our young people, mostly college students who had volunteered to help with this edition. We decided to tackle two specific areas of the complex Generation Gap. First, the young people wanted the opportunity to."communicate* some of their ideas—"to fell it like it is"—from their standpoint. They asked for, and were granted, the opportunity to express themselves on a variety of sub-
jects of their own choosing, with no holds barred. They do not ask for agreement with all their ideas. They simply want to be heard—to explain why they feel as they do. Their views are expressed in by-lined columns throughout this issue. I urge you to read all of them carefully and draw your own conclusions a» to whether nr not our young people are on the wrong track.
Telling If in (puestiotis and Answers Secondly, there is the more specilic area of a "Jewish Generation Gap." Parents are terrified by youth's apparent rejection of Judaism. Youth replies that Judaism has nothing meaningful to offer. This Is a real gap, because both generations are not only expressing Inaccurate views —they aren't even talking about the same things. In my discussions with the young people I found that most were not as alienated from Judaism as we've been led to believe. I found that much of what they were rejecting—what they found meaningless—was some of the "busy work" of organized Jewish life that didn't relate to the real problems of the world. Somewhere in the discussion someone voiced the opinion that "Judaism is out-dated; it has no relevance to the things that bother me and the problems I face." And the theme for the page ads was born. Each page ad of the theme starts with a question posed by one of the young people. For an-
swers we turned to Judaism. The answers are in tha form of quotations gleaned from the Bible, from the Talmud and from modern Jewish sources. Certainly these are not all the- answers, nor are they necessarily the best answers Judaism has to offer. It is simply an attempt to show the relevancy of Jewish law and philosophy—even to young moderns in 1968. Having urged the old, to listen to the young— I now urge the young to give careful consideration to the thoughts expressed in these page ads. Tho Questions are yours. The answers come from Judaism. Are they relevant?
Telling It in Drawings The illustrations for the page ads came from our young people. They were given no instructions about what to draw, and no suggestions other than to use their artistic talents to "tell it like it Is." The illustrations are. the expressions of some of the feelings our young people have about themselves, about their problems, about the world in which they live. Is it good art? Are they honest expressions? Do they mean anything? The conclusions again are yours. The generation gap cannot be bridged easily. It was not our intention that this edition would serve that purpose. Bridging the gap takes understanding based on communication. Communication begins with the attempt to "tell it like it Is."

O
Ky Harold Aill<-r il ADI, Director If you . listened carefully lo those candidates aspiring lor the presidential nomination of both the Republican »nd the Democratic parties at their recent conventions, you would have heard a great deal being discussed about this being the ira of "new politics." This old philosophy (citizen involvement and participation) with a nt-w name is an outgrowth ot the new interest and enthusiasm1 of young people and member. ; ot the black community in alto iipting to meet the problems of our time. Involvement • They ; arc calling .for greater citizen particioation and involvement in all areas of government and community life as we work toward solving our urh;ti) problems. They are asking for full and 1 m m e il i ate implementation of (hose- nice sounding policies (hat all organizations have a b i' u t (quality, justice, and respect lor (he individual. Those 'orgunizationr, that have tailed or continue to fai in unn e c e s s i t y suffer the consequences. The ultimate consequence being a steady decline in the relevance and support of these organizations. The alienation of a targe segment of our population will he another result. For us in the Jewish community, this should be of special interest as it is applicable to our synagogues and temples as well as the Federation, the ADL( B'nai B'rith, Hadassah. etc. i'lGS-GO Agenda During this coming year, in discussing the problems which face our society, we are going to have to "tell it like it is." At the same time, we must provide opportunities for meaningful involvement to all aspects of our community in working towards the solution of these problems. There arc-many a r e a s with which to concern ourselves and they can't be left only to the professional staff of the community organizations or even to the various agencies in the community. Our (the Jewish community) agenda for 1968-6!) must include: the urban crisis, Negro-Jewish relations, interpellation of Israel to the American community, counteraction of the extremists-far left and far right, continued education of public and
parochial school officials about the positive image of the Jew in history. Commitment To implement these programs ami activities it will take additional sums of money. But more important than the additional funds, we must have a strong committm-nt on the part of many many individuals to support us in our endeavors. This cpmmitmt'iit can no longer be verbal; it must be a total commitment on the part of the individual towards the solution and elimination of those social ills which plaRue our community. The Omaha Jewish community is blessed with an unusually large number of fine leaders who must now draw together and collectively address tlii'msclvcs lo the problems which face us as Jews and as members of tlie total community in which we live. For we must again recognize (hat the prob-
lems which fifed tin* total i •iwniuiiily must of necessity rlfecl us as Jews. During the past year wo have begun the process and started to address ourselves to the problems of Omaha. This process must be continued and must lie increased. This.is a time_for courage, innovation, and deep seated commitment. Now is the time for us to put into practice the ethics and values that Judaism teaches lo us. To these goals the ADL and its Regional Director -will concentrate their efforts during the coming year. It is a job which needs the support of all those in the Jewish community. We welcome your involvement; we need your support. Now is not the time for us to be afraid to spe:ik out for what is right and just, even though there may he those among us •who will criticize us for our stand.
By DAVID SCHWARTZ On Rosh Hn<- , lionah the shof.ir is b l o w n. 'lhe Jewish new year = is d i f f e r'ent in (,«' other ways too .'* The W e s t cm i world l a r g e l y h o l d s its new year in January. But Jews like to gather a r o u n d the s y n a gogue SchwarU arid talk, and it d snowy for that is too cold and in January. The Chinese have their new year towards summer, but right in the midst of everything, who wants to have a new year? So Jews selected autumn. •I suppose -everyone knows the story how Rabbi Jtzchak Leib of Berditchev auditioned shofar blowers. Well, anyway, he asked all the candidates for the job w h a t passed t h r o u g h their m i n d s when they b l e w the shofar. One man said he thought of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt. A second man said he thought of the high priest at the temple service in Jerusalem. A third said, "when I blow (he shofar, I say 'Dear God, you know I am a poor man. I have three daughters and I would ap-
predate it if you could manage to help me gel them married off.'" The third man got the job. Rabbi Leib realized that he was an honest man and when you g( t down to it, what is life but a lot of simple things like that? On Rosh llashonah we ask forgiveness for our sins. Sin is a kind of complex subject. What are our sins? Have, we held up any banks, broken into any homes? Do we face indictment by the grand jury? Most of us are not guilty of t h e s e things. A sage of (he Talmud said we. will be punished in the next world for the legitimate pleasures we have denied ourselves. It reflects on God if we hnve not a v a i l e d ourselves of his creations. Maybe we should hnve gone to a picnic or taken a drink and we didn't. It may seem a bit odd that v/e should be punished for not going to a p i c n i c , but then again, a picnic has its religious side. It brings people together— ti b h i ! Perhaps if we had joined a H e b r e w class or a class in g a r d e n i n g - o r * ceramics, we should have gotten some pleasure. We didn't •—so we sinned. What the rabbi was saying is that sin consists not only in acts of commission, but in acts of omission. They arc the greatest part of our sins. We do not lead full lives. Anyway, be sure to go to that picnic.

By HAI1B1 ISAAC NADOFF We approach the New Year beset by many problems. Ours is a world in t u r m o i l . The world in general and the Jewish world in particular face an uncertain future.

The Mid-Kast is a ponder keg, with continued threats to annihilate Israel being repeatedly voiced by each of its neighbors —and Israel stands virtually alone in the f a c e of possible genocide. News concerning our people behind the iron curtain remains distressingly bleak—and we are at a loss to lend a helping hand. •.-'>
NEW YEAR'S GREETINGS From
Eisenberg Art Gallery HEADQUARTERS
Jewish Youth Nor is the picture much rosier in America where Jewish youth on the c o l l e g e campus is estranged from Jewish values and is alienated from the Jewish heritage. An alarming increase in the rate of intermarriage and d( l< ctions from the ranks of Juc'aiim are robbing u.s of our mo t v a l u a b l e assets, the CM ,im of our youth, and are undermining the f u t u r e of the American Jewish community. These are some of the problems that face us as we approach the New Year 5729. Salvation The Jewish New Year addresses itself not only to humanity as a whole, but to the individual as well. Salvation, if it is to come to the world, will have to have its humble beginnings with individual man. The fate of mankind is determined by the actions of each individual. It is man, as an individual, who stands before the heavenly bar of justice and must Rive account for his every thought, word and deed. It is man, as an individual, who must determine to make this a better year, by coming just a little closer to the goals of Judaism. By intensifying our personal efforts on behalf of our faith, by giving more attention and guidance to our children, by joining the fight to eradicate ignorance and poverty in our midst, we will have t a k e n a Riant step toward making the New Year a happy and blessed one.

Why Should We Pray?
JUt in
tu give thanks unto the Bible Psalm 92:2
Prayer is a step on which we rise from the self we are to the self we wish to be. Prayer is not an escape from duty. It is no substitute for the dead. Prayer seeks the power to do wisely. It helps to re-enforce the act rather than to replace it. Our prayers are answered not when we are given what we ask, but when we are challenged to be what we can be. Morris Adler, American Rabbi, 1906-1966
To pray is to take notice of the wonder, to regain a sense of the mystery that animates all beings. Prayer is our humble answer to the inconceivable surprise of living. Abraham Hoschel, American Theologian, 1907-
You object that prayers are repetitious. So are, birth and pain and joy and death. The basic emotions are not many. Every great symphony repeats a limited number of musical ideas. But they set off great surges of feeling in the listeners. Jacob Weinstein, American Rabbi, 1902-

Judaism is averse to generalities, averse to looking for meaning in life detached from doing, as if the meaning were a separate entity. Its tendency is to make ideas convertible into deeds, to interpret metaphysical insights as patterns for action, to endow the most sublime principles with bearing upon everyday conduct. What cannot be grasped in reflection, we comprehend in deeds. Raibbi Abraham Hoschl

Israeli Officers (Continued from Page 12.) began to crumble, and left their troops behind. Officer Casualties It is obvious that if tlic commander is in the lirst line of assault. 1IP is more likely to be hit than if he stayed behind. It is no secret that in UMli. in 11156 and again in l!J07 the proportion of Israeli officers among the (lead and wounded was much higher than in any other army in the world. Yet, those responsible for Israel's defenses do not intend to change the tradition. The price is hi^h, but not only w o r t h w h i l e but probably unavoidable if the Israel'Defense Forces are to remain what they are now and what they must be in the future. This is not only a question o! troop morale. If the commanders want to plan, train rind direct their units effectively — particularly in new terrain and under c h a n g ing conditions — they must be present in person d u r i n g various operations to observe and learn. This is as necessary to maintain the high standards of the Army as is the principle of the c o m m a n d e r leading his troops instead of staying behind.

Peace am/ Wfer //? the Middle East By KLIAIIU SAM'KTEK Has any chance of a urgoliBird settlement between Israel and her neighbors tn'i'ii completely deadlocked iluiiiiK the year that has just passed'.' Are tin* forces of Arab hostility and intransigence aj,'ain pushing tlie Middle Kast toward another war'.' The answers depend on whether one is an optimist or pessimist. The ciKlit-nionths lon^ efforts of .l-'.N. peace emissary, Dr. Gunnar V. .kirrin;; can be said to have failed to produce any results. On the other hand. the fact that he was asked to continue* his el forts shows that his m i s s i o n is not a failure. These are important considerations but largely theoretical ones. What matters more to Israelis at present is whether the past year ha.s seen the country's security bolstered or weakened. Israel More Secure Those responsible for Israel's security express no doubt that the country is in a safer position today than it was before the SixDay War and in the weeks and months immediately after it. Geographically, the situation has improved ove r w h e 1 m i n g 1 y. Cairo. Damascus and Amman are now only a brief military jump from Israel's forward position where once Jerusalem and Tel Aviv were in range of Arab guns. For people who have not lived for 20 years in Hie shadow of enrmy tfuns and threats of txterruination, it jg difficult to undergland the significance of the change But Isaells realize thai danger still exists. France's continued embargo on the delivery of the 50 fully paid for Mirage jets hurts. So does Washington's reluctance to approve the delivery of the comparable F-4 Phantom jets. Should yet another round of fighting come, the lack of those
planes could show up in casualty lists among the civilian population of Israeli cities. But Lhe longer distances the Soviet-made Arab plnnes must now traverse and the presence, of Israel air bases close to the enemy bases cushions the problem somewhat for the military. Conliileiice Uestoi ed
Probably the most, important result of the June. I'JIiT victory is that it restored tin- confidence and the sense of security of the average Israeli. Confidence in the nation's ability to defend itself has been heightened by the dismal failure so far of the. Arab sabotage and terrorist attacks. .Several scores of Isaelis have been killed and wounded by terrorists, mainly in border areas. But hundreds of terrorists have been killed and more t h a n a thousand were captured and are held in Israel jails. The terrorist activities had no impact whatever on civilian life either in Israel or among the Arab populations in Israel-held territories. The streets of Nanlus and Hebron, both West Bank towns, once hotbeds of Arab violence, are now.as safe for visiting Israelis as the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. This is dramatic testmony to the effectiveness of Israel's military government. Military Policies The principal of Israel's military role is simple: in matters that effect the nation's security, no nonsense is tolerated; in matters that concern civilian life in occupied territories, the Arabs are free to make their own decisions.- If their teachers want to strike, it is their children who will go without schooling. If their lawyers refuse to work under Israel rule, they will have to appear in court without a lawyer. A result of this policy has been the almost complete refusal of the Arab civilian population to actively or passively
aid terrorist infiltrators from across the border. While the chances Of a political solution between Israel and her neighbors seem dim, erosion is clearly discernible in the Arab world. It was assumed in June I!)07 that the Arab leaders Would have to answer to their people for their disastrous defeat in a war they recklessly provoked. Egypt's President Nasser- postponed his accounting by using his right-hand man, the later General Amer, as a scapegoat, and, purging other officers, yet, in recent weeks Nasser's position with the ruling officer-class and middle-class has deteriorated. His illness, which sent him to a Soviet spa, lias not improved things. Kffrcts on Time The situation is shaky in Syria. In Iraq the first coup openly attributed by its perpetrators to the June 1967 defeat has already taken place. Only 15 months have passed since that defeat. Observers point out that it look four years after Arab defeat in Israel's war of Independence in 1948 before Col. Nasser and his followers ousted King Farouk and established their revolution. Looking at the Arab scene. Israelis feel that time is working for tb,em, even in the long run. They note that the technological gap between Israel and her neighbors is not being narrowed but is getting wider. As technology becomes the increasingly dominant element in every nation's defense capability, Israelis feel that their security, even in the more distant future, is assured. This may require the most sophisticated military hardware in addition to courage and imagination. But Israelis feel that they can m e e t the challenge.

The Campaign That Failed to Force Soviet Jews By Boris Sraohir October 14 was Colectivization Day in the Soviet Union, when every worker on the land bad to contribute his day's work to the country by working in the field. October 14 was also Yom Kippur. The Jewish Communist press In the Soviet Union was elated over Ihe coincidence. Here was the greatest opportunity to coinpel Jewish settlers in tlio colonies in the Ukraine anil Crimea to work on Yoin Kippur. The government order made It clear that every abk-bodied land worker was expected to till the soil on Collectivization Day as an

converting them into workers' clubs, in ridiculing rabbis, and in extending its anti-religious activities to the smallest and remotest townships. Driy alter day the three daily Y i d d i s h newspapers poured out poisonous propaganda against the Jewish religion, competing with the non-Jew is h Communist press throughout the Soviet Union in the indoctrination of the slogan "Religion Is Opium lor the i-'eopie." The fact that Collectivization Day coincided with Yoin Kippur could not play any better into their hands in this campaign. Ernes, the leading newspaper of the Jewish Section of the Communist Parly, made it clear that settlers in the Jewish colonies who would not be working in the fields on that day hecause of Yom Kippur would be considered saboteurs and would he d e a l t with as such. This threat was voiced also in the other Yiddish daily newspapers. The Jewish colonists were terrified. Most of them were former residents of small towns who lost their livelihoods as small traders following the Bolshevik R e v o l u t i o n . The Agrojoint helped to resettle them on the land, and trained them as farmers tc the satisfaction of the Soviet government. Many of them excelled as landworkers but remained true to their religious traditions of the small towns from which they came. Despair grew among these colonists as the days of Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur approached. The Communist Jewish press sadistically hammered away every day ever more strongly the message that they must work on Yom Kippur. It was the first time since the establishment of the Communist regime that Jews were facing government order which would force them to desecrate Yom Kippur. • * * Then came my talk with Peter Smidovitch, the "Vice-President of the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics. Mr. Smidovitch was not only the Vice-President of the USSR, he was also the Commissar for .Religious Affairs and chairman of the Government central organ in charge of settling of Jews on the iand. He was a mild-mannered, elderly intellectual of the old Bolshevik type, who liked to discuss with me not only matters concerning Jewish colonization and Jewish religion, but also Russian literature. As Commissar for Religious Affairs, Mr. Smidovitch always stressed to me the fact that the fact that the Soviet Constitution permitted freedom of religion and that the entire anti-religious campaign in the Soviet Union was being conducted not by the Government but by the "Bezbozhnik" organization, a Communist group dedicated to fighting religion. Ho defended the work of this group by arguing that just as religion was permitted to function in Russia so were the anti-religious groups. T h e i r activities, he insisted, were however, not officially endorsed by the Soviet Government, although tho Government favored their campaign against religion. I usually took issue with him on. this thin point, but he always assured me that at a crucial moment he would prove that this was actually the case. •

The crucial moment came when the order to work on Collectivization Day was issued and was interpreted by the Jewish Section of the Communist Party to mean that every Jew in the Jewish settlements in Crimea and the Ukraine would have to work in the field on Yom Kippur. 5Mr. Smidovitch was very much taken, nback when I told him that Collectivization Day (Continued on Page 42.)

The Near North Side is dismal, wilh no promise of any hi rye scale renewal i>ro}.;r«im. save a K o r l h Expressway which will wily serve to cut olf the ghetto from the rest of the city and inftiiutionalizt" lie facto neighborhood segregation. Black people have no prospect of representation in any of the political institutions of (lip city. Young people, bored by the
city's conservatism anil listlessness, leave and do not come back. The air is p o i s o n t d by yasolinp fumes and industrial wastes and smoke. The city center is still unattractive, in spite of some new building in the downtown area. These are serious problems. They can, however, be .solved if the citizens of Omaha will use their wealth and determination to do so. Political Change The first thing that must he
By FKANCKS BKODY Throughout our history Jewish leaders have taught that we do not have the right to turn our backs on injustice; that the dignity of each human being must be preserved: and that all of us -''ure responsible for safeguarding the dignity of all men. For Hillel, the e s s e n c e of Judaism was the Golden Rule. The Prophets taught that none fhould be allowed to go hungry or unclothed. The direct translation for the Hebrew word for "Charity" — "Tzedtikah" means justice or righteousness. It is important to remember t h e s e teachings of our heritage when reviewing the programs of mental institutions. Mentally Kelardcd As a SWKAT .student (Student Work Experience and Training in Mental Retardation) I have seen most of the Nebraska facilities for the mentally retarded, and worked in some of them. Touring the State Institution for the Retarded in Beatrice was a horrifying experience. The dehumanization apparent in our Etate facility is probably excelled only by the infamous concentration camps. The living quarters for more than 2,100 people are cramped uml unsanitary. Several buildIngs Blill in a c t i v e use have been condemned by oilier state departments. I worked for two w e e k s in one of the "better" wards. The ward C o n s i s t s of 50-60 young boys between the ages of 8 and 12. The two huge rooms of the ward are connected by a long hall with outbranching office, storage and bathrooms. The dormitory is "a sea of beds" with no pillows or personal compartments. Stuffed animals are placed on the fords during • the day when the boys ere no{ a l l o w e d in the room, and removed before they return. The "playroom" is large, with uncurtained windows which arc "off-limits" for the boys. Wood benches, a table and a TV high on a ledge are the only furnishing in the room in addition to two high shelves with pretty toys which the boys are not permitted to touch. Many more f a c t s about the
over-crowded unclean facilities are available through the State Health Department or through the Greater Omaha Association for Retarded Children. The Future Educationally, Beatrice residents are not g i v e n even the jpinimtmi opportunities w h i c h can be found in a public school special e d u c a t i o n program. Most residents spend their time sitting around, neither learning nor producing. I heard some of their teachers comment "They can't learn anything anyway, so I j u s t let them p l a y on the swings." Yet children in the severly retarded range with I.Q. scores of .'iO-55 were in pre-vocationnl training at the Lincoln Association for Retarded C h i l d r e n School, and progressing well. Many of our mentally retarded citizens could live dignified, prod u c t i v e lives if g i v e n the chance. The chance could come through l o c a l support of the New Douglas County Plan and the New State Plan. Responsibility One of the first t h i n g s I learned about my Jewish ancestors was their long story of persecution. We are repelled at the indignities Jews were forced to endure, and condemn those who stood by and gave no help. The plight of the mentally ret a r d e d in our state likewise calls for active c o n c e r n . As Jews who have known dehumanizing treatment, we have a special responsibility to prevent Buch treatment wherever it occurs — be it a country, a Negro ghetto in a city, or a ward in a Nebraska facility for mentally retarded.

done is political and can be accomplished by merely electing city eouncilmen by district. Under the )i r i-' s e n t system of iitlarge election, it is a practical impossibility for a black councilman to be elected. Yet, the gheito areas need representation the most. Presently t h r e e eouncilmen live within a few blocks of one miother; the P r e s i dent of the Council is from West Omaha and has no r a p p o r t with the black community and very little understanding of the problems of the ghetto. Election by district would allow greater democratization of the entire city government. A r e s i d e n t of a district could make contact with his representative, who would be familiar with the peculiar problems of his constituency. The people would participate in the city government if they c o u l d be sure somebody was paying attention to them. Urban Renewal Secondly, a large urban renewal p r o b l e m in the city's slum districts must be undertaken. New housing or the rehabilitation of existing dwellings is desparately needed. We must make an effort to escape the d r e a r y and depressing sameness of housing projects as we have k n o w n them. New construction must aim toward the creation of housing with green park and p l a z a areas, playgrounds, and social centers. The old welfarism of public housing must also be avoided. Approaches such as cooperative apartment dwellings should be explored, in which the residents pay a down payment which allows them to rent their apartments at very minimal rates. The down payments could be met through Federal and city rent subsidies, if necessary. The coop provides good, low-cost housing without the loss of selfrespect that p r e s e n t public housing p r o j e c t s often carry with them. Education But renewal of the g h e t t o must not be limited to housing. Education must be drastically improved. Teachers should be specially trained and selected for s e r v i c e in disadvantaged areas. Community and parent's groups should have liberal jurisdiction over the cirricula and 'Continued on Page 2R.)

Nadoff Answer:
1 By LINDA G1LMORE Contrasting and similar views are evident in comparisons of Orthodox and Reform Judaism according to recent interviews with Rabbi Isaac Nadoff, of Beth Israel Synagogue, and Rabbi Sidney Brooks, of Temple Israel. The Synagogue Both rabbis were in agreement as to the role of the synagogue in the Jewish community, They both felt that, aside from being a place of .worship, the synagogue's role is "to teach Judaism to its congregants." Rabbi Brooks further commented that the "synagogue represents the original center of Jewish history, idealism and teaching. The s y n a g o g u e , through its p u l p i t , provides a place where one may enunciate the application of Jewish religious ideals and moral judgment to events of our. time." Jewish Youth The following question was felt to be "untrue in. its assumption," by Rabbi Nadoff: Recognizing the fact tliat a rabbi's time is lirallfd, why (s

By IJKTSV KASKIN The echoes are loud and haunting (his yt.'ir, but the choice is dim. The hallowed pillar of our democracy, presidential elections, seem to this member of the generation just attaining the vote to be a stagnant mockery. I write this two weeks after the Republican convention, at which speaker ;ifter speaker preferred platitudes to issues, finny fioldwater was Cheered wildly for delivering a .string of wonderful campaign slogans that floated nicely off the tongue because they had no real weight. As candidates were nominated, the chosen representatives of the nation degenerated into behavior that would shame a fourth grade gym class. And behind it all echoed the statement of the Montana delegate who would not vote for Nelson Rockefeller because the governor was interested in problems "not of immediate concern to our area." Sad Year The qualities of the ultimate candidate are not the question here. I am sure that by the time this has been printed, and barring a miracle, the Democrats will have displayed behavior as grotesque of that of their colleague in arms. It is especially sad to me that we have sunk into such patterns in this particular year. It two assassinations and racism cannot shake America to constructive reappraisal, then we have come upon hard times, indeed. Which brings us to the echoes in the background that somehow overshadow the living actors in this democratic game. Robert F. Kennedy . . . Martin Luther King, Jr John F. Kennedy. The prince of Camelot was the first President to impress me with the potential of American politics and statecraft. He once commented that anyone willing to die if he could take a President •with him could manage an assassination; The preacher and peace prize winner stirred his people and gave me hope for reconciliation
in this troubled society. His widow said that he had always expected to be killed at an early age, but that he still gave everything he had to the movement he spearheaded April 4, HIGH. And then there was Bobby. During the Indiana primary campaign, he visited a shim neighborhood. He stopped near a fenced-in play area to talk to kindergarten children, putting his lingers to theirs through the wire. Then lie walked into the yard, kneeling down to talk to the lonely slum kids. His eyes, his tone, his manner softened, a reporter wrote. And one child buried his head in the candidate's lap. Candidates.specialise in rhetoric and pleasing people, the reporter Went on, "but a five-year-old child doesn't put his head in your lap unless you really mean it," June 5, !!)(!!]. Change .Needed To be a lender, a man must be willing to sacrifice for his followers. But if Americans take the life of every man who dares to raise his head above the muck and cry, Muck!—then how can we survive? I hope that disenchantment will cause the politicians to change; I hope that they have already done so at the Democratic convention. For I am deeply disgusted at the power structure that limits my life—and that may make life unbearable for any children I may have. The country is run by men who have had to make I heir compromises and limit their goals so that they may get ahead in the established machine. By the time they gain power, they seem to have set habits and can be prompted to change only by sad, senseless violence. I like order and serenity. I am not a radical hoping for a revolution. But. deep down. I burn with anger as I watch my future being whittled away. And I fear the unpredictable wrath of my generation. If politics doesn't change—and soon—there will be hell to pay.

Rabbi Nadoff said, "the synagogue is auxiliary and secondary to the home in developing ties." He felt wrong to place the burden on the synagogue, for it teaches as best it can. ' (Continued on Page 34.)

'By'RICHARD GREEN Three days a year, the Jews of the world assemble en masse in their synagogues and temples to observe the High Holy Days. The great e m p h a s i s on Yom Kippur and its demand for selfexamination is the r e s u l t of great historical change. This result may be having damaging effects on Jewish life. Holy Day History During the first and second Temples the burden of the Holy Day fell mainly on the priests. The Avodnh service of the Yom Kippur liturgy details the high priest's d u t i e s . The guilt of Israel was symbolically transferred to a goat, which was then t h r o w n off a r o c k y cliff at Azazel in the wilderness. The throng in the Temple court were practically spectators, participating in the service only with responses at the proper times. , "And it-shall be a s t a t u t e forever unto you: In (he seventh month, on the tenth clay of the month, ye shall a f f l i c t your souls, and shall do no manner of work, the home-born, or the
By BETTE UUB1N Can anyone raised in a large city ever realize what is is like to be raised as a Jew; in a town like North Platte, Neb., where the Jewish population totals 11 people? As a teenager in this minute Jewish community, I feel religiously deprived. We have no Rabbi or synagogue or Jewish school or any of the other religious facilities available to Omaha Jewish teenagers. We try to observe many of the Jewish holidays in our homes. My mother lights Sliabbos candles and we say the Kiddush. On the High Holidays we stay home from school and my father and uncles conduct limited services. We observe the entire holiday of Passover, including the Seders. On Hanukah we light the Menorah, Hie little Jewish education we have been able to get comes from books sent to us from Omaha, and from what our parents and grandparents have taught us. My older brother did have a Bar Mitzyah. in a Denver synagogue, but it was done almost entirely in English because none of us have had the opportunity to learn Hebrew. I nm the only Jewish teenager my age in North Platle' I know that many Omaha Jewish teens feel pressed by the demands of their synagogues and religious schools. Perhaps the one, thing worse than "having to go to synagogues" is not having synagogues to go to.
Htranger that sojournrth among you. For on this day shall atonem e n t be m a d e for you, to cleanse you . . . " This passage in Leviticus is the personal command to fast and observe a strict day or rest. The concept of atonement bec a m e increasingly important after the d e s t r u c tion of the Temples. Jews felt that calamities befell them because of their m i s d e e d s. As oppression of Jews increased, p r a y e r s like Kol Nldre took on added signifi c a n c e . The Marranos, ostensibly observant Catholics, but secretly practicing Jews during the Spanish Inquisition, found solace in the annulment of the vows they had uttered to keep their lives. Superstition Why the Jews c h o s e Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur as the main holy days of the year is not entirely certain. A great e l e m e n t of superstition is involved; perhaps many believed literally in the Book of Life, in which God writes and seals the fate of all men. This concept is nearly archetypal; the Assyrians believed that Marduk came at the f i r s t of the year and judged men's a c t i o n s . The sound of the shofar is supposed to confuse Satan the Accuser. If the Jews were not totally observant, these days offered opportunity for atonement. Modern Practice Today, Yom Kippur is a day of introspection, a day when Hie < Rabbi lias his rare opportunity to a d d r e s s his entire congregation. Services are formal and i m p r e s sivc. Yet for some, this is practically (heir only contact with the sanctification of time called lioly days. This religion seems hard; fasting, prayer, p e n i t e n c e , and Ylzkor are emotionally demanding. The "awesome holiness of the day" allows little joy. It was not always so. After the priests had sent away the goat with Israel's sins, the people were assured of God's forgiveness and redemption. The day turned into one of rejoicing. It would not be desirable to
return Yom Kippur to a joyous day. With the p r e s s u r e s and guilt-feelings imposed by modern society, a day of mental selfflagellation is psychologically healthy. On the o t h e r hand, many Jews see only this side of formal religion — "Repentance, prayer, and righteousness'1; "afflict thy soul"; "On Rosh Hashanah it is w r i t t e n , on Yom Kippur it is sealed — who shall live and who shall die." It is little wonder attendance is low at synagogues during the rest of the year. This is the potentially d a m a g i n g emphasis on Yom Kippur. The Solution The s o 1 u tion is straightforward. Rather than de-emphasizing Yom K i p p u r , we need a greater consciousness and observance of the other m a j o r Festivals. Immediately a f t e r Yom Kippur comes Sukkot — the celebration of s u e cessful harvest, the rejoicing in completing the Torah Passover marks the beginning of spring and the Jews' flight from Egypt; synagogue services in addition to the Seder add dimension and beauty to the holiday. Shavuot, at the end of spring and school, commemorates the g i v i n g of (Continued on Page 34.)

"The Generation i:> I.INOA GII.MOKI:
"And lie Shalt turn tin- heart of (lie fathers to the children, And the heart of the children to their fathers." Malactii :i:U This is not the answer to the problem of the "generation K;»l*-" but*only a beginning action which must be taken to solve the ;i;;eold enigma. ''The heart" of the parent is turned to the fliiid with love, concern, and the feeling; of responsibility; and yet there may also be feelings of mi.stru.st. alienation and incompetence. "The heart" ol the child should also be turned to the parent with the same emotions of love and a sense of responsibility, but accompanying them may also be the leelm;; ot ^ui!t, rebelliousness-, and impatience with "the older generation." The existence of these conflicting feelings in the tiearts of parents and children results in tlm isolation of both parlies.. Compounded by vastly changing eras of modernization and liberalization, there is the definite reality of a generation gap. This idea is far from new or original, but now it lias been given a label and. as an indicative action of today, it is. being "talked about" more freely. Generation )<nps exist and should be frit in every family, for each generation must feel a sense of change, discovery, and an identity with their own peer group. But this youthful sense of newness need not result in alienation of parents to children. First, the hearts of both are mutually involved in a sense of love: and secondly, the mind must enter to attempt communication in hopes of destroying the barriers of isolation. L a c k of communication is the basis for this deep problem of familiar generation gaps, free and open discussion between parent and child is the way to begin a common understanding. The Difficulties Parents may have difficulty percei-.'ing their child's i d e a s about morals, education, politics, or any other conceivable subject. And in turn, the child will undoubtedly find it hard to comprehend the deep parental concern, over-protcctiveness or their more conservative, absolutist viewpoint.
Discussion may not solve the enigma, but it will hopefully serve as the basis for more awareness between parent and child. Discussion may also lead to a deeper sense of frustration and misunderstanding, but both parties are at least exercising the valuable practice of sharing views and ideas. Though opinions may be mutually known and understood, they may not he mutually accepted. However, the fact that son or daughter and parents have made the effort to speak rationally to one another, to attempt to bridge the credibility gap—is the beginning, The generation gap is eternal, for each generation is a link between one's parents ami one's future children. However, a parent's blind love and a child's blind sense of filial duty are not broad enough bases to formulate a total familial relationship. There must be a reciprocal respect for one another's opinions and a willingness to truly know and understand each other. Then, and only then, will the positive sense of a generation gap exist, allowing for change and progress through generations of man.

I am opposed to tin? American involvement in Vietnam. First of all, wo must examine the objectives that our government has given us for our presence in South Vietnam. We are told that we are jn Vietnam to stop aggression. But how true is this? Aggression necessarily implies the invasion of one sovereign country by another sovereign country with a demonstrable goal of the subjugation of the attacked•n:ilion by the attacker. However, Vietnam is not consistent with this riefinilion of aggression. Between l!)l(i and 1951, IIo Chi Minh led a revolt of all Vietnam, not just the North, against French colonial rule, finally defeating the French at Dienbienphu in 195-1. At the Geneva Confeience of 1951, Vietnam was arbitrarily divided alenig the seventeenth parallel. There was no racial, ethnic, or linguistic rationale for this division; it was merely a compromise to allow a Communist regime; in the North and an antiCommunist regime in the South to coexist temporarily until reunification could be accomplished. Vietnam is historically one country, not two. Furthermore, the Geneva Agreements, though rather vague, marie'explicit that free elections should be held throughout Vietnam for the purpose; of reunification under one government, hopefully by 1956. As the 195(5 targe't elate drew nearer, IIo Chi Alinh had said that he would permit free campaigning by non-Communist candidate's in the North. However, the United States and the South Vietnamese regime of Ngo Dinh Diem would not allow elections to bo held, fearing that Ho would be overwhelmingly electee!. In addition, the' absurdity of the two Vietnams concept is evident when one considers that the National Liberation Front is composed wholly of Southerners and leading 'members of the South Vietnamese government, including Vkx'-Presielent Nguyen Cao Ky, nre Northerners. The entire situation then does not. seem to be aggression as wo know it. Ratlior it is a civil war between two rivals, both of the? same nation, attempting to gain power in this country. U.S. Aggression Indeeel, if anyone is the aggressor in the situation, it is the United Slates, at least in (he view of North Vietnam and to a large number e)f Southerners as well. The presence of 500.000 American troops in the Soulh is certainly disturbing to Ho. It is significant that only after the United States escalated the war through the manufactured Gulf of Tonkin incident did any noticeable infiltration of Northern troops into the Sejuth begin. IIo's more overt participation in theWar was not an aggressive measure, but was in reality defensive. He was responding to a security throat posed by the United Stales. It would appear, then, that our altruistic arguments of slopping aggression and prcsei"ving self-rietorminaiion are? invalid. The first is refuted by the rejection of the American two-Vielnarns polie-y.'From this, we draw the corollary that our presence in Vietnam is merely an interference in the internal affairs of a foreign country. The second justification is contradicted by our refusal to allow, five elections in Vietnam because we we're afraid that the Communists would win a truly free election over the rather unpopular Mandarin, Diem and his ruthless brother, Ngo DinhNhu. Communist Threat The second argument eleals with our self-interest. Within this category rests everything from Dean Rusk's fear that one billion Chinese will overflow into California by 1970 to the domino theory that if Vietnam "falls," then eventually all of Southeast Asia will also become Communist. But all of these attitudes —"~~ - ~" • ' reflect a basic misinterpretation of the force of Communism in Southeast Asia. We tend lo cling to the McCarthyist (Joe, not Gene) notion that Communism is an international conspiracy, directed from cither Moscow or Peking, bent on controlling the world. Nothing could be further from the truth. Communism is no longer a monolith, if it ever was. The deviations of Czechoslo v a k i a, Romania and Yugoslavia attest to these dilferences within the Communist world. In addition, Communism is often an instrument of a nationalistic philoso(Continued on Page 30)
The two basic arguments with which one usually attacks U.S. intervention in Vietnam is that 1) it is illegal ami 2) it is'in vain, because we are fighting a war that has nothing to do with our national interest or security. Legality The1 war is illegal, say the critics, because Vietnam is one country. The Geneva Agreements e)f 1051 specified that, and provided for "unification" elections to be held by July, 1956. Diem and the U.S. "foiled" these ejections, for fear that Ho Chi Minh could defeat any other candidate}. Hence, this is a civil war, and we have no business being there. My answers to the; charge's are as follows: 1) The agreements eiid not pmvide for e-loertions to be held by July, 195(5, but only for elections to be he^lel "in the ne-ar future." The July, 195(5, deadline was mentioned in Ihe Final Dcerlaraiion of Ihe- Cemvention, but that had absolutely no legal force whatsoever, since il was signed by no one. 2) Diem actually pressed for effectively supervised elections in 1955, 195(i, 1958, and I960, provided that Northern officials establish minimum .standards of democracy first. The terror campaigns of 1955-1956 in which over 100,000 peasants were executed after wide-spread revolts against the Northern government, took place in the cities and countryside, put the great popularity of IIo Chi Minh in doubt, regardless of what U.S. officials may have thought about it during thejse years. The expansion of the Northern army beyond the legal limits as prescribed by the Geneva Agreements plus the fact, that the North kept thousands of Buddhists from fleeing South made the good intentions of the Northern government also in doubt. Diem demanded reciprocity in fact, and not simply vague promises that "non-Communists" would be allowed lo campaign in the North. 3) In 1956 and 1957 only the Soviet veto kept South Vietnam out of the United Natioiis to the exclusion eif North Vietnam, whose bid for membership was ovenvholmingly rejected. The U.N. nonetheless officially recognized Seiuth Vietnam as having possessed the necessary requirements for membership. 4) Over sixty governments now recognize South Vietnam, which represents slightly more than half of the countries of the U.N. One can see lhat, while Vietnam is culturally, ethnically, and linguistically one country, it. was politically split apart during its revolutionary war into Communist and anti-Communist factions, which have been to this point irreconcilable. U.S.-Intervention The answer to the question as to why we are.in Vietnam, as the Society for the Prevention of World Wai- III -(Louis-Nizer, William L. Shirer, ote.'.) feels, has nothing to do with Communism or anti-Communism, or with the relative gooels and evils of the two Vietnamese governments. Simply, one "country" is attacking another, and aggression such as this cannol be tolerated. One may, without much difficulty, trace this and other aggressive actions back to Mainland China. Consider the various threats China and North Vietnam are presently making to the nonCommunist nations of Southeast Asia. 1) There are now over 100.000 Chinese soldiers and workers stationed in North Vietnam to fill vacancies caused by the movement, of Northern soldiers to the South. 2) There are 40,000 North Vietnamese in Laos, in direct violation of the 1902 Geneva Agreements, supporting 15,000 Pathet Lao troops ._ _ — who are attempting an overt h r o w of socialist Souvanna Phouma. 3) China is instigating and arming tribesmen in Northeast Thailand in what amounts to a very serious threat to the proU.S. government there. 4) Main force units of the Peolie's Liberation Army of China lave occupied areas in the eastern Burmese countryside, supporting "White Flag" Maoists and other insurgent groups in an attempt to gain eventual political control of the country, which would then open up a second front against Thailand. 5) Last June, Indian troops (Continued on Page 41)

Some Thoughts on Civil Disobedience Ky MAMY Sill KI'.HT We are often told that American society is a society of laws. It may be true. However, this assertion often leads to a notion of sanctity about certain laws of this nation, The result is that too many of us see the laws of the land as directives radiating from a benign government that knows how we should act. This is a disaster. It leads us to a moratorium on thought. Ultimate" ly. it leads us to the very cessation of our democracy and the elimination ol our society of laws. There is an alternative of "civil disobedience." of breaking a law deliberately when one feels that the law is unjust. VIKT NAM I'KOTKS'rOKS Perhaps the most dramatic example-; ol civil disobedience are in the case ol anti-Vietnam war protestor.';. We recently heard ol the convictions in Boston of Dr. Benjamin Sp'Krk and Rev. William Sloan Coif in. These men wore found guilty oi a charge of conspiracy to aid and abet draft evaders. It is true that they violated the law as it is stated. They did give advice to ypjjn;; men to refuse to participate in the war. According to the Selective Service Act. they are guilty. Yet, both men believe thai (here is a law higher than thai of ('(ingress and (Jemral Hershey: they believe they have a moral right and responsibility to do everything in their power tn bring what they consider an unjust anil immoral war lo an end. Kvi-u if it means the violation of national law. Less publicized, but just as signiticant. is the larue number of young mm who cannot in good conscience obey the draft law while the United States is lighting in Vietnam. Here again, they cannot reconcile their consciences to American participation in a war which they consider immoral. As a result, thev deliberately disobey the
Selective Service Act by turning in draft cards and failing to report for induction. These are hardly acts of cowardice. I lift' lieve the prospect of five years in jail and the ramifications of imprisonment in later liie are many times more forbidding than lighting in a war. These are acts of conscience, based on the philosophy that self-respect and integrity til convictions are more important than acceptibility to the outside society. SIllAlioN MOKAMTY During the Nurembiirg Trials. Americans scofled at Germans who. said that they were merelv following orders. We suid that they should have had the bravery to refuse to serve a government which was participating in a great variety of immoral acts. Yet. why do we reject people who -show this bravery in illu.'i in the United States of America? Is it true that what applies to Germans does not apply to Americans0 I hope that we can overthrow "this hypocritical situation morality. I hope that wr- can respect the actions of people who act according to their convictions. A human being thinks. He is an individual. He is capable of reaching his own conclusions on a question of morality. His right to have his own ideas and to act in a way eonsislant with his conscience must not be di-nicd by his society. lie must not, become the automation that the Nazis created of the German soldier. Even i! he must go to jail, he must ho respected for hi.s courage and liis steadfastness. If the colonists in the United States had not practiced civil disobedience, the United Strifes might still be a British colony. If the .settlers of the Alliyalis in Palestine had not practiced civil disobedience, the State of Israel would not exist today.

Cultural Improvements The 'brain drain" is one of the most potentially s e r i o u s problems for the city. Omaha is not a very exciting place to live A few,' concerts and an occasional road show of a Broadway musical simply do not fill the cultural needs of a vibrant city. Some good things are being done. The Community P 1 a yhouse has i n t e r e s t e d many Omahans in drama. But new plays must also come here iii professional theater. The poor acoustics of the Music Hall do not entice noted musicians to come to the city and do not provide a good environment for the Omaha Symphony Orchestra. New cultural-facilities should be constructed. Perhaps a great complex of theaters, concert halls, orchestra shells, parkland, recreational facilities, and residential districts could be constructed in the strip between Omaha and Lincoln. The possibilities for the future development of this area are endless and would certainly invigorate a rather tired acting Midv/estern city. People would no longer move out; there would be events making Omaha an attractive place in which to iive. These arc all rather general suggestions I hope can be transformed into reality. It will take money and determination for Omaha to s o l v e its problems. The money is there. If the determination were only present, we would be well on the way to making Omaha a model city, a city which has met its problems and solved them. The Chamber of Commerce says that "Omaha Can Do."

Essays and essays have been written by adults to point out that today's youth is unconcerned with money. Manyaccuse all students of being hippies with no regard for those "finer" things in life which only money can buy. Just as many of the under-30 generation have charged all their elders with inexcusable materialism and complacency.

of Israel Found Lacking In U.S. Jewish Sehesfs New York (JTA)~A Yeshiva University associate professor of education says that while the Six-Day War had a definite impact on attitudes of teachers and pupils in United States Jewish schools toward Israel, those attitudes have not been reflected in the role that Israel should play in the schools' curricula. Dr. Alvin I. Schiff, chairman of the department of religious education of Yeshiva's Ferkauf Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences, based his conclusions on a six-month study of 700 Jewish schools representing 276,000 pupils—over half of the total Jewish school enrollment in the United States. "Almost all schools integrate the study of Israel with other subjects, but the Jewish State is taught as a regular subject in only 20 per cent of the classes involved in the study. This means about 43,000 children received formal instruction about Israel during the 19G7-19C8 school year," Dr. Schiff said.
Catholic College Adds Jewish Studies Dept. Chicago OTA) — DePaul University here has become the first Catholic educational institution in the VS. to open a complete department of Jewish studies. The department will bo inaugurated at the beginning of the 19G8C9 academic year under a reciprocal agreement with the College of Jewish Studies which will offer a program of Judaic studies to students enrolled at DePaul. The college of Jewish Studies is an undergraduate institution specializing in four year degree programs of Judiac and Hebraic subjects.

The Family of By Carl Alperl Haifa — In accordance with our annual custom we present our Rash Hashonah list ol the ten new n a m e s which made headlines in Israel during the past year. These are the people who in a d e top n e w s , for one reason or anolli er, and m a k e their appearance in these annual lists for the first | ' time. | '..ast year's ten | \ \ for t h o s e who .* J ! may remember, ., rt were: Shinucl Y. ' Agnon, Chief Chaplain Shlomo Goren, Meir Halevi, Gen. Haim Herzog, Judge Eliezer Ma'chi. Menashe Anwar, Gamal Abdul Nasser, Gen. Yitzhak Rabin, Naomi Shenier, Yona Sofer. The l'Jfill list, in alphabetical order: Oded Abnrbnnel, eapt-mi of the El Al Boeing airliner which was hi-jaeked by Arahs and flown to Algeria. Holding of the crew and Israeli passengers underlines for all the world the Arabs' flouting of international law and all standards of human decency. Vigal Allnn, popular leader of the Palmach, now active in politics, he was promoted from his post as Minister of Labor to Deputy Prime Minister, thus becoming in effect'the heir apparent to Levy E.shkol. He has also assumed the cabinet portfolio for immigrant absorption. Ainalia Urn Ilarosh, of Kfar Alia, near Haifa. While symposia and debates were being held on how to raise Israel's birth rate, Amalia and her husband, Meir, were located by enterprising journalists as parents of Israel's largest family — twenty 'hen'thy, flourishing youngsters.
The publicity brought tin: humble Hen Hiirosh family :i flood of gilts, including their first electric refrigerator. .Tal It r oili i', a 24-year-old American, who introduced now high standards to Israel basketball and led his Tel Aviv Maccabi team to .second place in a European championship tournament. Israel sportswriter-, chose him "Athlete of the Year." Charles DeCaulle again provoked controversy with his continued criticism of It/ael and his description of the Jews as an "elite and dominating people." His banning of the shipment to Israel of 50 Mirages which had already been paid for, created great resentment, especially in view ol Russian rearmament of Egypt. Avshaloni Feinherg, killed in the Gaza area 51 years ago while serving as member of a pro-British Jewish underground movement during World War I, made dramatic headlines this year when his grave and bones were discovered after Israel occupation of the G.iza Strip. His reburial on Mt. Herzl was made the occasion to recall a forgotten heroic chapter in the history of the country. Aviaham Harmon, f o r m e r head of the Jewish A g e n c y Youth Department, Director of the Israel Information Office in New York, Consul in Canada, and Israel Ambassador to the U.S. since 105!), capped his outstanding career of service With his election as President of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. (iiinmir Jarring, the U. N.'s special representative seeking to bring about peace in the Middle East, met with scores of leaders on both sides, held hundreds of meetings and conferences, travelled thousands of miles, and pursued his goal with
commendable persistence, patience and optimism. Golda Mcir c a p t u r e d the headlines when, after a career of service as Foreign Minister, .Minister of Labor. Ambassador to Russia, and behind the .scenes power in Israel's political Establishment, she resigned at 71 from her influential post as Secret ary-G eirie r a 1 ol the Labor Parly.

(Continued from Page 24.) al field, serves to replace the old stereotype of the weak Jew, too passive to fight the miseries and wrongs of the world, with the image of a vigorous people, ready to protect themselves and capable of doing so. By destroying the old stereotypes, Israel raises all Jews in the esteem of (he (-entile world. The very fad that such a place as Israel exists add to the pride and dignity of every Jew. We must not cease to be generous to Israel merely because we are not unselfish in our generosity. • We must never forget that every tear we shed and every pledge we sign is not just for the freedom fighter in the Negev or the fanner on the kilihulz. It is just ax much for the Jewish child in .Moscow or the retired mwdinnt In Miami. If Israel should perish, part of the dignity nnd pride of every Jew dies also.

Rabbi We Want to Know (Continued from Page 21.i "The synagogue is miponsible for educating its youth in the formal Jewish .teaching." I'abbi Nadoll said, "but it tan not be responsible for developing .such ties as the desire to preserve -. Judaism and a youth's emotional attachment to Judaism, which must stem from the home." Rabbi Bruok.s thought that the social and historical identities are "already bases (or a young Jew's life." Hut this question also has an important reference to parents. Rabbi Nadolt nave the example of Talmud Torah urging .students to attend services. "Hut if the parents don't insist, what can the synagogue do? If there is no encouragement at home." he asked. ''What can we do?" In similar t e r m s. Rabbi Brooks said. "The home is iar more important than I be synagogue. What good is school if parents don't believe in education? There'must be a partnership and affirmation of ba:;ic values." Apathy ''The failure to represent religion in realistic and relevant terms" was the reason Rabbi Brocks gave for the apathetic feelings of many Jewi.-ii youth toward their religion. Italilii .N'adoff's reason fur (lie existence of this indifference is the fact that '•young people are illiterate in (heir religion: (hat they are tint sufficiently learned of their religion ami have not arrived at conclusions. If one does not know, cine is apathetic-." tin also mentioned religious apathy in the home as a reason. A final basis of this prob'em. according to Rabbi Nadoff, is the deficiency of a Jewish education, which ends at age i-'i or 14. '"because only this time can youth begin to grapple with a mature approach." The fact that Jewish youth arc critical of the synagogue and are nlienated because it has not acted on the social justice problems of the day. may also be a reason for youth apathy. Vcl neither rabbi accepted (his proposal or fell (lie need for a justice or social action committees in the synagogue. Rabbi Nadoff said. "If the teachings of the faith are gained through the synagogue, then it has made its great contribution. Jews have acted in the social
action field because they have been taught the behavior ol Judaism in those areas. The AntiIJelamation League a l r e a d y exists, and to create a social action committee in the synagogue would be establishing a splinter group. The task of the synagogue is not to become the ADI,: our people should do battle lor the ADL. But clo not have to be an arm. Our task is to create the mood and teach." According to Ilabbi Brooks, the answer depends upon one's definition of religion. "What kids are saying is that they are disonchantf'd with religion because it does not take a social bent. They are not gravitating toward the synagogue for ritual purposes. If youths are reacting to religion, they are reacting to the ritual aspects. Our synagogue motives people to social action, hut we are not a social agency. I( is the job of the synagogue to keep people socially conscious as Jews, in (he most ineaiiinglul sense, so (hat (hey go oul and he creative. This is the powerhouse of idealism." Education Realizing the role of the synagogue is to teach Judaism, there is also evidence that Jewish edu-
cation has failed to retain the interests of the students. Rabbi Nadofl thinks this is a mistaken assumption, lor "the failure is not in Jewish education, but in the follow-up at home and in the college arena. "We have the child for only so many hours and we do the best we can in that time. The indifferent parental attitudes .lack of time and the child's slight interest are the failings. We try to get the best out of the limited time we have. The failings lie outside of the school, which does the job as Well as it can." he said. On the other hand, I'alibi lirnoks feels the problem deiinilclv does exist. "Xo one knows the answer," he said. "Jewish education has lo he more valuec e n t e r e d (han lacl-centeied, Wilh (he lime we have, we must concentrate more on the valueideas rather than the facts. We should add up the values, Tor it is not how much lime we spend, but what we do uilli i(." One can note the disparities and similarities ol viewpoints as expressed by the Orthodox and Reform Rabbis. The paramount concern of both, however, is to perpetuate the values of Judaism.
ISy CAROLINE MAYKH Recently there has been much talk about the "New Morality." The phrase has been used by the modern college generation to express a new code of behavior in contrast to the old. One wonders, however, if there really is such a thing as a 'New Morality." It is the general consensus of many Omaha college students that there is such a thing as the ''New Morality.'' Most students feel, however, that the moral standard has not been changed, but that the attitudes toward the moral code is different. They expressed the o p i n i o n that the same things are happening now as happened in their parents' generation. Perhaps the older generation overlooked the "happenings" of their day, .whereas now, as a result of mass media, these "happenings" are v e r y much exposed. A survey of local c o l l e g e
youth indicated that attitudes toward m o r a l s have changed. One coed expressed the opinion that today p e o p l e chose behavior patterns for themselves instead of letting society choose for i hem. One college youth expressed the opinion that the "New Morality" is simply a rationalized justification of the old morals. He said, "The New Morality Is (he people's j u s I i f i c a (ion of what they've been d o i n g all along. What was immoral before, now becomes rationalized to (he point of justification." Still a third interpretation of the "New M o r a l i t y " was expressed by a 39 year old coed. She said, "The New Morality encompasses a new type of liberality which is different from the old liberality of our p a r e n t s . Tor example, where our paretns c o n t r i b u t e monev to Martin I.uthnr King's SCLC and feel they have done what is expected of them, our generation feels the need for a more personal commitment by giving of our time and energies in the aren of interpersonal relationships. The phrase "New Morality" does not t h e r e fore accurately express the feelings of some of the local college youth; "New Attitudes" would be a more ap propriate phrase. Many young people feel that connotatively there is such a thing as the New Morality, however, denotatively there is not.

The Emphasis On Yom Kippur
(Continued from Page 25.) Torah at Sinai; a!! arc excellent times to encounter the o t h e r side of religion ~ "and ye shall rejoice in'your holidays." Objections immediately arise. "I can't close my business." You can! The Wall Street Journal recently said it was unhealthy for executives not to take vacations. "I can't miss that much school." You can always make ' up your work. Teachers generally reduce work loads for the High Holy Days anyway. They w o u l d do the .same for the Pilgrimage Festivals. Having experienced the older major Festivals, J e w s would realize that their religion is relevant io all aspects of t h e i r lives, relevant (o celebration as well us to sin and death.

The Influence ©• Iiy Kubbi Murray I. Kothman In Hippie coinmune and on college campus, our young people seem bent on destroying the established institutions which we have so patiently and painfully erected. As any fjood student of history i;; aware, each age challenges the presumptions ol the past and each generation directs its fire at the forms of the society into which it is born. But this generation seems determined to destroy its foundations. Tlie basic values, (he chief cornerstones of our social structure are beim; undercut and undermined, and v/e do not understand why it is happening to us. Nobody has the answer. But we may find some helplul clues il we take a closer, look at ourselves and our world. We. see that the world in which we ;;revv up was different in e s s e n c e from our children's world because ol the phenomenal advances in science and tcdmo!(;;;v. But it was different sociologically as well. As a .Jewish community, let us examine our own lives and contrast the world of our childhood with the world of our children. Different Worlds We and our parents, in most instances, knew the confinement of the ghetto during our formative years. We knew the ta.ste of hunger during the depression, the economic insecurity of the thirties, the anti.Semitic epithet hurled at us in school and on the street, the infamous college quota, the professional 'numerous clausa," and the fear and pain of a rampant Hitler. . So our goal became to reach the promised land of suburban security. What we craved, as much as anything, was a home of our own in a pood neighborhood where we could live in peace with plenty. Hill our children have experienced none of these aches and have, therefore, harbored none of these hopes. They did not have to, because they never knew economic insecurity and they certainly n <• v e r fell hunger. Anti-Semitism is something they have heard about in S u n d a y School. For them, Hitler is almost as far removed as Ham.in. lioth of them arc soniediing out of the history books. And the Slate of Israel has been around for as long as Ihev can remember. This is not to say that our young people have not suffered. They have and they do. But the substance and the setting of their suffering is different from our. so their psychic scars are different. Their priorities have been molded by the ten-

sion ol the two-decade cold war which still hangs like a mushroom-cloud over their future. Their trust in the promise of .society has been com1 promised by the hollow hypocrisy inherent in the tokenism of racial integration. Their faith in progress has been shaken by the tragic political assassinations of leaders with whom they could identify. And they continue lo sillier during their formative years the horrible anonymity of a system which assigns digits to replace names and then callously concludes that it has everybody's number. Computer Age They feel rejected by a campus where the professor is too busy to teach and the president lias lime for everybody hut the students, except when they rebel. They arc deeply disturbed by the criteria of a computer-age in which the new commandments "do not fold, do not staple, do not mutilate," apply to pnper forms, while the human form folds under the burden of a life too threatening to bear; where so many are denied the staples of life thru one-half the world starves while the other half diets; where unnumbered multitudes are mutilated by war in d i s t a n t places and bigotry on the streets of our own cities.

It is not society which they reject. It is this society which they will not accept.

"The Deeds and Misdeeds of the Meandering Forties" was analyzed by a Denver panel of three experts. Mrs. Lawrence Kirsch, teacher and mother of two teenage Eons, presented the housewife's point of view as .she described her reaction to her '10th birthday, Dr. Johanna S. Neumann, marriage counselor, emphasized the behavior of husbands and wives in troubled marriages. Dr. Jerome Menaker, instructor in Sex Education at Wichita Slate University, discussed the physiodogy of the forties that brings on "The Change." Birthday Trauma "When my hoys ran into my room on the morning of my fortieth birthday and yelled 'Happy Birthday,' 1 was in a trauma, for I felt like Marie Antoinette when she was about to be guillotined," said Mrs. Kirsch. She c o n t i n u e d her story of this eventful birthday. "The forties meant f a t i g u e , hot flushes,' pains in the joints, and moodiness to me as I anticipated rny future. To sum it all up, yesterday I was a silken rose; today a withered husk. "Shortly after this eventful birthday, I discovered there are three basic problems in today's society that affect the woman anytime after forty. "About (his time or life most women come face lo face u'Zii more leisure time than t h c y have ever had, and the problrms this time creates.

"I deeply regret the loss of the father's influence, but ladies, the age of chivalry is over. We fought for equal rights with men so now we get equal treatment."
Dr. Ncuniiin called this period of the forties "the prime of our lives" and stressed that "a great deal of giving and .sensitivity is needed" during the meandering lorties." There is a shifting of roles and a new division ol labor so that the husband and wife become partners in the outside world." Couples who do not adjust come to marriage counselors, and when they visit I)r, Neumann, she advises both husband and wile to "save (heir marriage hy looking towards moti-

Yom Kippur Fast Easiest for Fats Fasting on Yom Kippur will come much easier if you're fa;. This is one finding in a series of studies on obesity by Dr. Stanley Schachter, a C'olumfoui University psychologist, ami other researchers. The studies are described in the current issue of Science magazine. According to Dr. SeliachUT. slim Jews have a much more difficult time fasting than their obese brothers, especially if the fat persons spend most ol the day in synagogue, away from all external factors, such as taste, smell and sight of food, setting and time of day. Because normal weight Jews are moiiv-U.il by internal factors, primarily an empty .stomach, they are unnffected by the number of hours spent in the synagogue. When their stomachs growl, they're hungry.

For this reason the commandment mentions the mother first in order to emphasize the point that she should be feared and respected because .she too can teach and discipline her children. Parent's Duties Toward Children There is still one question unanswered. What duties does a parent have to his child? The Talmud (Kiddushin 2!tb) asks the same question. Among other things, a parent must see that his child is educated enough to make a living, that he has a religious education, that he learns to swim, that he has enough money to start a family (that a daughter has a dowry) and so on. Even though some of these obligations may not be specifically applicable today, they show Judaism's great concern for the parents' duties to his children. Judaism's view of parent-child relationships is neither blind, unquestioning, and onesided but logical, sensible, and mutual.
By Joel Kpstcin "Honor your father and your mother," "A man his mother and father shall fear," "He who strikes or curses his parents shall surely die,"' and so forth. To most young people these statements indicate the Jewish view of the parent child relationship as an austere strict view that the child owes the parent blind. uiH|iie.stionin» respect and tear, while the parent owes the child nothing.

Viet Humi I Approve (Continued from Page 27.) captured 24 Chinese t r a i n e d Naga'g in Northeast India, along with documents that offer "conclusive evidence" of Naga links with China, Burmese Reds, and Burmese Naga. Indian intelligence is "certain" that China is setting the stage for a Vietnamtype war in Burma. 6) China is attempting to "pin down" Indian troops in Northeast India by mobilizing near the border. This is taking place in Assam in India which also borders Burma. 7) China is attempting to force India to embark on a nuclear
weapons program by announcing the production of bigger and better nuclear weapons, the construction of missile bases in Southern Tibet, and future tests that would send armed missiles over India into the ocean. A program of nuclear weapons production could easily shatter India's economy, but it is being seriously considered now by high government officials. 8) Recently, I.-Andronov, a Soviet writer stationed in Peking until 1966, reported that Chinese school books teach that Mao lists all of Southeast Asia,

The Christian Science Monitor reports that Andronov implies that U.S. interests in these areas are at stake (though not necessarily in connection with the V.N. war), and that Andronov's contentions are taken with some seriousness in Western circles. Morality We must become involved in security and freedom of Southeast Asia, because as Max Ascoli, former editor of the Reporter, said, "Lack of concern on our part for the people of Asia is immoral, for the notion is immoral (hat the men and women of Asia arc a separate breed, a sort of half-caste w o r l d , for whom a system of government and of values that Western civilization abhors is good enough." We must persist in Vietnam, because, as Ferdinand Marcos, President of the- Philippines, said a few months ago, that if the U.S. should retreat, "never again could the word of the U.S., either by written or verbal agreement, be depended on." We must win. either politically or militarily, because as Bernard Levin, a critic for the London Daily Mail, wrote last winter in the wake of the Tct offensive, "They are there because they know that, where aggression is concerned, the appetite doth grow by what it feeds on; and because they therefore know that, however great the price of the war in Vietnam, it is still less than would be the price of the war we will all one day fight elsewhere if it is lost."

AH they ask is a voice; In determining their own destiny. Most of our protesting young people, and we are not talking about the kooks, crackpots and pariahs on the fringe, are not really rejecting the fundamental values of our society but are, in fact, trying to abide by them. They are not rejecting the values of the individual. They are rejecting the callous impersonality which makes the individual anonymous and insignificant. They are not rejecting community. They are rejecting bureaucracy. They are not rejecting the p u r s u i t after peace. They are asserting, whether they use these words or not, the preeminence of the person as the crown of creation, and the sin of using any child of God as a means toward the achievement of selfish ends. There is, in fact, an unbending application of our most exalted ideals. The ideals which most of us have compromised, or at least, adapted,

But the distance b e t w e e n our world and their world is so great, the perspectives so dissimilar and the reference points so different, that it is difficult for us to communicate. The lines of communication have had to be stretched so far so fast, that they have "degenerated into a frazzled cable which distorts (and short-circuits) messages going in both directions." So we fail to sense how frightened and uncertain our young people really are. And they cannot believe that we are as frightened and uncertain as they are.

Law, Order, Morality By Betsy Raskin Law. Order. Morality. Apparently, these are the three axes on which 19Gli politics will turn. Lest these terms become a rallying cry for ignorance, intolerance and insensitivity, we must try to keep them in very clear perspective. First, let us remember that law is not morality. Laws are human instruments which limit individuality to permit society and limit society to protect individuality. In a democracy, law must not be absolute. It must r e m a i n open to interpretation and to reasonable dissension. An established democracy must deal with such dissention, maintain. ing order while allowing for change. • But what we have here is t failure to communicate. What we saw across the country in April, and in Chica.,0 in August, was a system without the ability even to try to communicate with dissatisfied members. The system has driven the disillusioned and frustrated to protest from outside the order and, hence, in a disorderly manner. Last April, for example, in Chicago, the miserably neglected black ghetto exploded The answer of the conti oiling powers was not to try to root out the causes of discord—it was to develop new methods of not control. Chicago's blacU are still miserable, but the established order lias been preserved.

It's an adult study seminar. This time the theme is the meaning of our prayer book. Soon I'm pounded with all sorts of theological and r e l i g i o u s questions.

Thoughts ol the group are still with me as I say goodbye to everyone. I no longer know just what time it is when I pack up my "portable synagogue.' 1 put out the lights, lock the door and head back to'the VOQ, where I jot down s o in e notes on the visit.

S u b j e c t s range from book reviews, to debutes on various a s p e c t s ol religion. On Shubbat morning, we have had a brief service followed by classes for about ten children of varying ages. Every Thursday night, our adult education c In s s meets for a f u l l course of study. ICei'lcclioiis It's n full life. Sometimes, not often, I may feel sorry for myself. The burdens and the responsibility seem to heavy. At times, I feel that I'm alone in my work. At times it seems that I want to accomplish too much and that I'm inadequate. I resent being a conscience to people. I wish I were more certain of all the answers I give, or I wish 1 had the power to present them in one brief sentence. At times, I wish I had days on end to spend in study; or, again, I wish I had more time with my family. All of this is only at times. My family accepts life in the service and, essentially, I love the chaplaincy. Relaxed, especially on Sliabbat or Yoin Tov, with Sheila and our children, Gila and Zev, we k n o w that we wouldn't change this for anything else in the world. Gradually, one learns the secret sources of reward and "nahal" or the rabbi in uniform. Nu, enough writing! I'd better get my supplies together and get some sleep. Tomorrow, I have to hit the road again.
