The NewJCC: 'We're on the Way!' . Omaha—Where do we stand with the new Jewish Community Center? According to CM. Newman, president of the Omaha Jewish Federation, "Many months of ~planning~areTi(5w""paying off and things are hajroeninj»_that_ indicates we're on our way to the realization of a new JCC in Omaha." Mr. Newman noted that last month the Federation Executive Committee "approved in principal" the preliminary de* Signs prepared by Ed Baker, architect for 'Hie new Center project. The board also approved the building fund raising drive. ' "Before taking these steps," Newman said, "we wanted to discuss the project with some of the major contributors. Two special meetings were held this month for that purpose; and we are very pleased with the reactions." Mr. Newman reported that

those attending the meetings "came because they care about the future of the Omaha Jewish community and were interested in knowing m o r e about the needs to-be served through a new C en t e r^1)UtldIiig.~Tney seemed jpleased _wJih JheL sa ~fui thought with which Mr. Baker prepared the preliminary designs," Newman said, "and indicated their enthusiastic support of the project.'Now we are taking the next step," Newman continued. "The next 60 days will tell much of the story."Mr. Newman explained that the preliminary designs prepared by Mr. Baker "are not necessarily the f i n a l plans. They do, however, provide the necessary f a c i l i t i e s for tho • m a n y program recommendations made by the New Center Planning Committee." , • Planning Committee Under the chairmanship. of Charles Monasee, the New Center Planning Committee con-

ducted an intensive study involving more than 250 people studying the needs and wishes of the community at large for programs to be housed in the new facility.

Mr. Monasee said, "All "of us were surprised by the large numbers of people who apparently are, deeply Interested in getting a new Center "for our community."

The Planning Committee was divided into six sub-committees; e a c h studying specific areas to be served by the new Center. "The sub-committees —I (Continued on page 2)

J. M. Newman (leff)*and David E. Beber at meeting where first 2- JCC building fund gifts were announced.

Speaking for the trustees, Mr. Beber reviewed the commitment of the late Milton Livingston to a new Jewish Community Center, which led the trustees to the decision to provide 25 per cent of the funds lor the new building. "Milton S. Livingston was always among the leading contributors to every drive or campaign for Jewish causes," said" Mr. Beber. "He considered a now Jewish Community] Center as very important to the programs and activities of the Jewish community of Omaha, and by his contribution, and that of the Milton S. and Corinne N. Livingston Foundation, the 96th and Western Avenuo site was acquired. When the Planning Committee sought a larger site, the Trustees of the Livingston F o u n d a t i o n stepped in and acquired the 30 acre site on 132nd Street." . Mr. Beber noted,tBat "By its contribution of the site, the Livingston Foundation has already contributed more than $325,000.00 toward the realization of a new Jewish Community Center," and that they now want to make "a substantial and meaningful contribution to the cost of the hew building and its equipment."

Mr. Beber said, "If the community builds a new Jewish Community Center building, the Livingston Foundation will give a sum equal to 25 per cent of all moneys contributed by the community at large to construct the building and equip it. This is in addition to the cost of the land bought by the

Foundation for the Center. '-(The Trustees make this pledge as a challenge to the community, and to encourage maximum giving by Omaha's Jewry. We hope that this offer, will be an incentive to the community—if it wants a new Center—to achieve its goal/' Mr, Beber said.

At the same time, it will provide an excellent vehicle for the Jewish community to make a meaningful con-, tribution to the total community and to increase the awareness of the non-Jewish community of the Jewish values we hold dear."

The Russians Are Coming! By CARL ALPERT Haifa —The number of immigrants from Russia to Israel continues to rise, and hardly a day. goes by that the press here does not _carry-reparts -QfLaddilionaLarrivals. There are no official statistics, but esti-Tnaterihat~the-1971-total of-arrivals from -the— . Soviet Union will approach 10,000 seem not unreasonable. The figure is truly amazing, if compared with the tiny trickle of aged emigrants who had been permitted to come in -some previous years. The newcomers are a normal cross-section of the population. They, come from all parts of Russia: from Moscow • and Odessa, from Kharkov Alpert and Riga, from Kiev and the distant towns of Georgia. They come also as complete families, with children and students, professionals and artisans. . There are many Unanswered questions about this immigration. Why is Russia permitting it? What'has motivated Soviet spokesmen in recent months to state openly that the Soviet Union has no basic objection in principle to emigration of Jews?. At least half a dozen answers have been suggested, and I do not pretend to know which one or more of them may be closest to the truth. Here are six theories, any one of which can give food for thought. 1. World protest and agitation has at last gotten under tbe Russian skin, and Moscow has decided to open the gates a bit so as to bring about a cessation of the anti-Soviet activity. Even a big bear can he irritated by constant annoyance. * 2. This is the Russian way of showing Cairo that the Arabs should not think they can take Russian support completely, for granted. The Arabs must toe the line and do as Moscow wishes, else the doors can be opened much wider. Just, this little bit of help* to Israel is a way of putting pressure on the Arabs.

3. There is a Belief in Russian ruling circles that the desire for immigration exists among only a very small, fanatical band of Zionists. Once they > are permitted to leaved "there-will be no leadershjpj;emain[ng to stir up the remaining7 JewsTLet the troHble^makers "goTarid ~ -Ihen all wjlllie quiet ^ 4. As the number of Russian immigrants to Israel rises, conditions there will become more difficult. Integration will not be easy, and many of them will demand to return to Mother Russia. The result could be a decisive deflation on the immigration psychosis and a great psychological defeat for Zionism in the Soviet - Union. Serious policy mistakes made by Israel's absorption authorities in recent weeks have given some-grounds for support of this thesis. 5. The immigration provides Russia with an opportunity to plant a fairly considerable number of secret agents and spies among the newcomers. Some of them will remain under cover for'ye'ars, and may noteven try'to pass on information until they have risen to high or' influential position in the Israel establishment.. Russia feels the need for such' first hand on"-1 . servers especially keenly, since it does not have in Israel its own embassy, together with the ears and eyes that go with such diplomatic missions. • • . 6. There have been repeated rumors of late, that Russia and Israel have been holding unofficial conversations which could serve as a prelude to resumption of normal relations. Permission of immigration is a Russian gesture to show that despite the flow of arms to Egypt and the bellicosity at the U.N., there is also an eletnent of diplomatic g o o d will," thus expressed. What the reason—and one may be sure that the Russians do have reasons which in the long run are intended to* serve their own purposes—every fresb planeload of arrivals is received in Israel with joy, and also with a sense of great responsibility. Who knows how much longer this may continue?

Sidelines By Mickey Gereflcb This is the time of the year I usually go through the inane business of making New Year's resolutions. (I never keep them —I just make them.) But at this writing, I've fallen victim to the flu bug that has been taking such a heavy toll in the community. I'm in that stage of the misery that I wonder if I'll even live till next year. Even Nyquill doesn't help. If I donlt make it—what good are resolutions: And if I do pull through—who cares about res-, olutions — as long as your healthy! So to heck with the list this year. If this isn't a time for making resolutions; it's a pretty good time for reflections. What kind of a year- has .it been? Much depends on your point of view—pessimist^ or optimist? Is the ciip half M l or half empty? The year 1971 did not bring peace to Israel, neither did it see the outbreak of another full scale war. In spite of our cries of protest, millions of Soviet Jews have not been allowed to emigrate; but a smaller number did.. The pages of the Jewish Press record the life cycle of our community in the past year —births, deaths, marriages— statistics that tell a story of Jewish idenjtiiieaGonTTn an era when there is great concern about the future of such identification. Beyond the obvious, there must be meaning in" stories

telling of Omaha's most succ e s s f u l Philanthropies cam*' paigh in history; 250 volunteers ' spending countless - hours on studies for a new Jewish Community Center; an Adult Education Program that exposed hundreds to the learned lecture by Allen Pollack and the unequalled wisdom and inspiration of an evening with Abraham Hcschel. Dying Jewish communities * don't p r o d u c e stories like these; but are we as healthy as we should be? It's been a year of good and bad; of dreams fulfilled and dreams shattered. There has been progress and regression; triumphs and failures; and more than ever, doubts about the future of our youth. The year just past was not, the perfect world we dreamed about 25 years ago. Men still wage wars; acts of violence still plague society; problems of poverty, disease, hatred and prejudice have not been solved. The world is getting better, and. it's getting worse. The future depends upon your point of view—and what you're willing to do about it. I know that my point of view is clouded at the moment by a* heavy feverish head. Perhaps" next week I'll be able to provide the solutions to all t h e probfcms we'll be facing in the New Year, but for now, I just , want to face the New Yearalive. And if I make it—I'll see you in shule New Year's eve. Happy New Year.

Moscow Jews Search For New Chief Rdbbi London (JTA)-A controversy has developed in the Jewish community in Moscow over a successor to the late Chief Rabbi Yehuda Leib Levin of the Choral Synagogue who d i e d Nov. 17, 'Jewish sources in the Soviet Union reported. The committee of synagogue elders which have some say, though by no means the final one, in the selection of a.new rabbi, is opposed to the roost l i k e l y candidate, R a b b i Schwarzblat of Odessa. • Rabbi Schwarzblat is almost 60 years old and is the youngest rabbi in Russia.- Among -the other possible candidates, the rabbi of Kuibishev is 80' and the rabbi of, Leningrad almost 90. But Rabbi Schwarzblat has been writing anti-Israel articles In the Soviet Press.1 Mtfscow Jews recall, that he denounced

Israel as an aggressor after the Six-Day War. u The late Rabbi Levin's title of Chief Rabbi was not an official one biit "derived from the fact that he was rabbi of the largest synagogue in the Soviet capital. The synagogue committee is said to prefer a successor who can act with authority as a supervisor of kashrut and an organizer of prayers and services rather t h a n an ordained rabbi not to their liking. Another candidate described as a "completely non-political person" has been mentioned but this name has not been released. . Jewish sources reported that Motl Lipschitz, Moscow's shochet (ritual slaughterer) is preparing to go to Israel.. When he: leaves, Moscow Jews who.observe the kashurt laws will be left without a shochet.

oguesm By Boris Smolar A marked decrease in the number of synagogues in this country is reported in several studies. Only about 20 years ago, the number of synagogues of all denominations—Reform. Con=— servative and Orthodox—was increasing. Hun—dreds-of-new-«ongregations- were established:— Many costly new synagogue buildings were erected in suburban communities and in the large cities. , . The Reform and Conservative religious movement jubilantly recorded continuing increases in membership. There was an acute shortage of rabbis to meet the needs for spiritual leaders in the mushrooming synagogue growth. , Today the opposite is the case.- Mergers of synagogues are taking place in city after city. In the suburbs, synagogues are suffering from declining membership. For many of them, the cost of. maintaining the existing buildings is ' becoming excessive. Statistics Not a single new Conservative synagogue has. been built in the entire country during the last five years. The same-can be said about Reform temples. Nor were any large new Orthodox synagogues erected. ' Last year, eight congregations in Philadelphia merged into four. In San Francisco, a long-time Conservative synagogue was united with a young Reform. congregation under a Reform rabbi. Orthodox, Conservative and Re- • form groups in Diiludi, Minnesota, with separate buildings, merged last year into one congregation with a new rabbi of Conservative, background.. In many communities, synagogues with declining school registration merge thel rschools but retain their separate worship facilities. These cooperative initiatives often lead to the merger of all facilities and services. . Reform Congregations A year ago, the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, central body of Reform Temples, listed C98 affiliated congregations as compared with 547 listed by the ^ame body in 1958.

However, the UAHC figure of last year differs very much from the figure reported this year by Rabbi Malcolm II. Stern. Rabbi Stern said that last July there were only 531 Reform congregations, which was less than even the numJhszAn 1958. Conservative Synagogues The United Synagogue, central body of Hie" Conservative synagogues, claimed last November 832 affiliated congregations. But there are more than 1,000 Conservative rabbis in this country who are members of the Rabbinical Assembly, the central body of such rabbis. And about 100 of the congregations affiliated with the United Synagogue are served by rabbis who are not members of the Rabbinical Assembly. This means that there are today more Conservative rabbis than Conservative congregations. , Orthodox Groups • It is difficult to establish the exact number of Orthodox congregations. The Union of Ortho* dox Jewish Congregations of America claims a membership of close to 4,000 in the United States and Canada, However, unlike the Reform and Conservatives, the UOJCA does not publish'lists of its affiliates. , Similarly it is impossible to determine exactly who. are the rabbis serving the various Orthodox congregations. There are numerous Orthodox rabbinical associations, and many ' • —Photo by Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry rabbis serving in Orthodox synagogues have DADDY, COME HOME!

THE JEWISH

Israelis In New York By MARTIN SHEFFIELD Come Sunday afternoon, hundreds of Israelis converge on a little corner restaurant in the Borough of Queens in the City of New York to whet their nostalgic appetite of Israel by munching on that Middle East specialty: Felafel. There are nearly 100,008 Israelis living in the U.S. and about one-third of them live in the New York area, most of them in the Rego Park and Forest Hills sections of Queens, now called by many the "fourth city of Israel.'-' There are two kinds of Israelis residing-here: Those here on official or government business; and the other: "yordim," people who left Israel for good (They went down from Jerusalem) and remain abroad. Why do they come here? The basic reason was economic and the general rule is that the rate of emigration from Israel fluctuates with the economy of Israel. When that economy is booming, the number who leave is low. When the Israeji economy is depressed, the.number rises. " • Yordim believe they can do better financially and achieve a higher standard of living in the U.S., and most do. Some are surprised in the beginning. They thought the streets were "lined with gold," but, they tell you, they find that by the time they pay the rent, which in a middle class Jewish neighborhood like ' Forest Hills can be exorbitant, there is not very much left. In addition, many arrive here without specific trades or skills or professions or the means to start a business. Ironically, when their savings'run out, many endup in menial jobs, earning less than they did in Israel. But eventually, most manage to do well, and settle down into a comfortable life. One middle-aged man who has lived here for' • 13 years tells you that he now owns his own home, has a car and many luxuries, including a color-TV set and freezer. He adds he believes he would never have achieved tlus luxury in Israel. *Toput it bluntly, Israelis are not in love with American life, as much as its life style. Over and over again, many say they came here to "make a fortune,", save money and return to Israel to buy an apartment or business. But it is not all materialism. There are other reasons why Israelis come here. And in a quiet moment they tell you their American relatives had a way of coaxing them to come here. Family ties can, did, and do attract even the most idealistic. Before theSix-Day War, many young Israelis, including sabras, came to the-U.S. to "see the world." In addition, while Israel also has gained by "inter-marriage" of Americans and Israelis—with the newly-weds staying in Israel, there are numerous cases of the young marrieds moving to America, also. " In interviews, this writer found that most Israelis feel strongly about returning. "It's a matter of time, five, ten, fifteen "years," said one.' Meanwhile, they try to keep close to Israel by speaking He'brewtoeach other and to their children, too. And often you really wonder where you are. Whether you are in a playground or in Alexanders, the huge department store, you hear Hebrew, And •In Queens, you can buy Israeli newspapers, daily. •.".''• They back-every move Israel makes politically or militarily, they are proud that they are Israeli and they let you know It. When the Six-Day War broke out, they flocked to Israeli coh• sulates to return to fight. '. Like other immigrant groups in America, Israelis in the beginning are clannish and establish their own institutions. For a long time to come there will be a sizeable ex-Israeli community in the U.S. (The number of Israelis now living overseas is estimated at about 200,000). They can be a positive force in the community. Their loyalty to Israel; their frankness; their abhorrance of sham, could be characteristics which would remove much that is superficial in American Jewish life. I

Urge AH Aid f© Soviet Jewiy Be Channeled Thrbygh UJA New York (JTA)—The American Jewish community has ' been urged to channel all aid to Soviet Jewry through the United Jewish Appeal. The call was issued by the Committee on Control; and; Authorization of Campaigns of the World Zionist Organization . in a statement by its co-chairmen. Mrs. Charlotte Jacobspn, and Jack Weiler. The.Commit-•• tee, coordinated by the World Zionist. Organization-American ' ' Section, comprises the leadership of the UJA, the Council of • Jewish Federations and Welfare funds, the United Israel Appeal and the WZO-American Section. Pointing out that "the needs of, Soviet Jewry, including their efforts to leave Russia, and requirements while in transit to Israel and other countries, are being provided for by the agencies supported by the UJA and JWFs throughout the country -in their campaigns in behalf of Israel and overseas needs,1' tlis statement "warned against "minor diversionary fund-raising efforts that might cause confusion and: thus (do. damage: to,,tte,,cause,,of. ,the JRusjian, Jews!w'h6hi we, seek.'tb'help"' ».

Declaring that the needs of Russian Jews on arrival in Israel and elsewhere are being provided by UJA agencies the statement unequivocally said: "The considerable sums which are required can be mobilized , only by the United Jewish -Appeal as the central, humanitarian agency of American Jewry for overseas needs. United Jewish Appeal agencies spare no effort in bringing relief and facilities for rescue of Soviet Jews who arc able to leave the Soviet Union, and for their absorption in Israel and. elsewhere. In order to assist •Soviet Jewry, all Jews should .channel their aid through the United Jewish Appeal.",

U.S., Israel Agree N. Y. Blacks Allege Jewish on Research Projects Washington (JTA) — Israel and American Cabinet-level officials have agreed to cooperate on numerous transportation research projects but Israel's renewed requests for more extensive landing rights - for El Al aircraft in the United States^ were rejected. Israeli Minister of Transportation and Communicati o n s , Shimon Peres and Secretary of Transportation John A. Volpe initialed a memorandum of understanding by which technicians of the two c o u n t r i e s would cooperate on research and exchange of information on projects including ground traffic engineering, computerized air control systems and technological development, /designing of buses, transit use by low income groups, air traffic control systems and harbor and seashore pollution. Peres also met with Sicor Browne, chairman of the Civilian Aeronautics Board, on a quest begun two years ago for El Al planes to land in Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston, and also to extend El Al flights from Bucharest to the John F. Kennedy Airport in New York which Israel first requested six months ago. Browne, however, was reported to have responded negatively in view of the adverse economic position of American Airlines and their fear t h a t granting Israeli requests would open the door for similar requests from other, foreign airlines at a time of intense competition. Lebanon was understood to have had its request turned down last month. -

Racism in Forest Hills Projecf

New York (JTA)-Black response to the controversy raging around the plannejl Forest Hills low income housing project raised implications and allegations of Jewish racism in articles that appeared in two -newspapers in New-York during the past four days. One, by William II. Banks Jr., in the New York Amsterdam News, the largest black newspaper in America, compared the protests of Forest Hills residents who are predominently J e w i s h, to "the twisted snarling faces of white Southerners we saw in the early 1960s who were protesting the integration of S o u t h e r n schools." The other appeared in Voice of Seek, a Queens College newspaper, issued for .minority group students receiving special academic help. , Written by Gfcorge Hopklnson, a student, it stated, "Once again the white bigots are predominently J e w s " and that "Jews and other white imps from the Mayflower cannot de? clde wherp Black people are to"1" live." The article in Voice of Seek (Search for Education, Elevation and Knowledge) was the subject of a complaint Friday lodged by students with Dean E.R. Covert". SEEK was established by City University New York several years-ago to help entering mi n o r i t y students— mostly Black—reach the scholastic levels'"-of other students and is funded from student . fees.

Omahan Elected to J.D.C. Board Omaha—At the 57th Annual Meeting of the Joint Distribution Committee held in New York this month, Morris E. Jacobs of Omaha was amongst those re-elected to the Board of Directors. Other members of the J.D.C. National Council from Omaha are: Jules JV1. Newman, Joe M, Rice, Louis Somberg, Norman Batt, Leonard Goldstein, Meyer ' Katzman, David Brodkey, Harry Kulakofsky, Leo Meyerson and Calvin M. Newman.

Michael Green, president of the Queens College Interciub Council and one of the students who filed the complaint, said a poem published in SEEK had the'lines, "Sick-white Jew-boy" and "liberal Jew style." He said the publication of the material violated a Board of Higher Education by-law that "no group or organization with a program against the religion of a particular group or against a particular race shall be permitted to organize or to continue at any college or school" of CUNY. David Agronin, president, of the college of Council of Jewish Organizations, asserted that the implication of Hopkinson's article was that all opponents of the Forest Hills project were Jews and that only Jews oppose It. He pointed out that no mention was made "of the fact that many prominent Jewish leaders and organizations h a v e come out in support of the project."

Dachau, Essen Witnesses Sought Bonn (JTA)—The A t t o r n e y " General of Munich has decided to call on all survivors from the Dachau and Essen concentration camps to testify,'in order to assemble evidence concerning all those who might possibly be responsible for murders committed in these two camps. Some of the Nazi personnel of the camps, who might be guilty of mass murders, have never been brought to trial. The offices of the Attorney .General/have, approached the "Committee International Des Camps" (CIC), asking this international .organization of concentration : camp survivors to cooyera'te with the request. . The secretariate of CIC responded by forwarding to the Munich offices the addresses of those Dachau survivors who were known to this body. The CIC appealed to all Dachau survivors throughout the world to forward their addresses to this body which, in turn,-would forward them immediately to the Munich office.
