Questions and Answers About the New JCC Q. What is the goal for the Building Fund Drive?

A. $3,200,000 will allow us to build and furnish the building as approved by the Federation Executive Committee and community leaders.

Q. Why is a new building necessary?

A, The downtown JCC has been sold to the Telephone Company and we will have to vacate the premises by the end of 1973.

Aside from that, the present Center Is 46 years old and is located where it is no longer accessible to the bulk of the Jewish community. Its facilities are highly inadequate, require major repair and parking is insufficient.

Q. Why do we need so much building?

At A careful, in-depth study of the needs and interests of all segments of the Jewish community was made, by 250 members of the New JCC Planning Study Committee. Their program recommendations to serve the needs were the basis for the design "of the new building.

In order to provide the complete range of programs which we need io grow as a viable, dynamic Jewish community, this Is the facility we should have. It is designed to serve all segments of the Jewish community. ' ; The plans have been modified a number of times to reduce size and costs. Every effort has been made to design multiple use facilities. Any further reductions will result in a reduction of programming and effectiveness.

Q. Is the use of other community facilities a suitable alternative to building a Center for the Jewish community?

A. The rationale for a Jewish Community Center building recognizes the need for specialized facilities in a specialized en.vironment. The Center will reflect important aspects of our Jew-., , -Ish heritage, including its. cultural components. Its very mood and atmosphere will create a setting in which one-can feel at . home and identifiably proud as a modern Omaha Jew. ' - The Center program must have continuity of activity to be effective. It is subject to rapid change of schedule and must be in a position to have first call on its facilities. There-must also be a freedom of choice of how a facility is to be used as determined • by the needs of a group or a program. Borrowed or rented facilities cannot provide for these'needs.

In the past, when the downtown JCC was effective, the buildIng did serve in, such a fashion. The current and future generations require the expression of. similar concern^' ' Q. With so many needs for money In Israel and other parts of the world, can we afford to build a new JCC? A. We can't afford not to!

We do a disservice to Israel and to ourselves if we fail to answer local needs. , Israel depends on a vibrant, creajive, Disapora Jewry for continued moral and financial support. We have an obligation to enhance, the opportunities for growth and development within the local Jewish community. , ,,.;,.,.

— - A new Center will provide these opportunities and thus warrants a priority of our resources. , ' Q. But can't a Center be built without including, expensive facilities such as a swimming pool, gym, health club, theater;

Co^Chairman Named for JCC Building Fund Drive

,' Omaha — Murray. Newman, chairman of the Building Fund Campaign for the new Jewish Community Center, has announced the appointment of six co-chairmen who will head special divisions for the drive.

The co-chairmen are: Stanley Slosburg, Founder's Division; Ernie Nogs, Leadership Division; David Friedland, Builder's Division; Eli Zalkln, Advance Gifts Division, and Elmer Gross, Alumni Division. .''The Omaha Jewish community won't have the usual summer lull in activities this year," Mr. Newman said. "We halve GO days to raise the funds to build a new Jewish Community Center, and it will require the efforts of many people to get thejob done."

• . Newman.;, said• that the .cochairmen are in the process of recruiting w o r k e r s and that some•'Solicitation for pledges has' already" begiirir""'"*•' v '~ "Our goal," said Mr. Newman, "is to reach and receive a building fund pledge from every family in the Omaha Jewetc.?

The tions needed for the project. facilities in the new building have been planned to serve all these legitimate needs.

Q. How will the proceeds of the sale of the old Center building be used?

A. It is hoped that these funds will not be needed for construction purposes and that they will be set aside to help provide new creative programs and innovative services through the new Center.

The success of the new Center depends upon the quality of programming and the professional staff. Funding for this is as vital as constructing the building.

Q. Will It cost much more to run the new Center?

A. The more extensive program will require a larger operating budget to maintain. It will be financed in great measure by the users of the Center through membership dues and special program fees.

Supplementation from Philanthropies will probably require .about 50 per cent more than we now spend on the old Center.

This is not a steep price to pay for a program which has something to offer to all of our people.

Q. Will membership in the new Center be available to nonJews? .

A. The Center's program will be dedicated to the needs of the Jewish community, As in the past, non-Jews, will be welcome for membership if they wish to participate in our Jewish1 oriented programs.

Q. Since I don't plan to use It, why should I be asked to pay for the building of a new Jewish Community Center. Shouldn't those who will use the facility be responsible for building it?

A. Once the building is completed, those who use the facilities will pay the bulk of the maintenance and program upkeep through membership and activity fees. However, the capital funds to build it must come from the community as a whole.

A new Center building will provide new opportunities^ for educational, recreational and cultural activities that .will involve many more people than we realize. It is almost a certainty that one or more members of every Jewish family In Omaha will bo drawn to the Center,. ;: > ' ' Those who care about Jewish survival in our community have a responsibility to.participate In this new Center project.

"The goal is $3,200,000 which can be realized if everyone does his part. The new Jewish Community Center belongs to everyone. Everyone had an opportunity to help in the design; everyone will have countless opportunities to participate in the programs; and everyone" must assume a share of the fiscal responsibility to get it built," he said. .,

"The plans for the new JCC are exciting," said Mr. Newman, "Only once in every two or three generations does a community have the opportunity to build a new Center, and we are that generation," he said.

Soviet Prisoners On Hunger Strike New York {JTA) - Jewish sources in the Soviet Union report that nine Jewish prisoners at the Potma labor camp went on a hanger strike June 15 in support of a series of demands which included a review of their sentences and transfers to a different camp.

' The hunger strikers appealed to the Red Cross to send a representative to Potma to investigate conditions!

Expert Sees Ilope Jewish Future IirU.S N a s h v i l l e , Tenn. (JTA)The identity crisis has erupted with special severity in the American Jewish community because of its acculturation on one hand arid its attempts to maintain its distinctiveness on the other, according to Dr. MerVin F. Verbit, assistant pro' fessor of sociology at Brooklyn College.

He explained that Jews saw their Jewisliness in terms of

the white, Anglo-Saxon Protestant and secular culture around them. They adapted to this culture, but they have maintained their own community and were not totally assimilated, he said.

Prof. Verbit observed that' "the primary distinctiveness of the Jewish community is that its existence as a community is part of its ideological definition. The Jewish people is not a collection of people who share the same faith so much as It is the instrumentality for the fulfillment of Judaism's purpose, at least according to Jewish tradition," he said. . , According to Dr. Verbit, "The role of theology in Judaism is different from Its role in Christianity. Logically, theism is prior for Jews, but more important is the basic commitment to a particular collective goal in history."

Prof. Verbit said that most young Jews respond to religion in patterns similar to other religious groups by participating partially but not with real in^ tensity or regularity. He noted, however, that some young' Jews are experimenting with • forms of communal life, frequently combining study with social action and religious sensitivity and several arc moving into positions of leadership in Jewish organizations.

He said he thought that young professionals are becoming increasingly aware of their Jewishness and are exploring its .meaning.

Reform Rabbis Concerned About Jewish Religious Life

Grassinger, N. Y. (JTA) — Reform rabbis in the United States and Canada constitute a generally satisfied professional group but it is a satisfaction diminished by concern over what they see as a need to restore Jewish religious life, according to a report released at the 83rd annual convention of the Central Conference of American Rabbis.

What he rated, however, as the most important difference was that the Israelis 'never asked and never will ask for a single. American soldier to come and fight for their defense.'

If McGOVERN is the Democrats' candidate in November the American Jewish voter will have a tough choice. He will be drawn to a typical liberal friend with an attractive domestic reform program,, a standard liberal commitment. to Israel's survival and a promise for peace on earth.

On the other side is Richard Nixon, the conservative incumbent who has been remarkablyand unexpectedly-reliable in complying with Israel's request for arms without forcing her to pay a diplomatic price.

He has even accepted Israel's contention that the final borders can only be settled by the protagonists themselves.

He has done all this in spite of the fact that he has never received more than 15 per cent ofihe "Jewish vote in his many political, campaigns over' the last 25 years.

It's interesting to note that Jews are only three per cent of the American population — hardly enough to make the deciding difference at the polls, even if they all voted alike— which they don't. :.'•.•• I'd like to believe that the pro-Israel views expressed by the candidates show their commitment that it's good for America to support Israel, and that it's not a political gimmick to win the Jewish vote.

Reporter Hears lies' In Moscow Synagogue (Second of two articles.)

7 ; By JOSEPH POLAKOlFF WASHINGTON-On the only Friday night that President Nixon was in Moscow, the JTA correspondent covering the summit Conference visited the Soviet capital's principal synagogue for the Sabbath service. His conversations, mostly in Yiddish, were with 30 Russian Jews who attended the service. Nearly aU of them were gray, lean men apparently in their late.sixties or older, mostly beardless and with lined faces, and clad in worn garments.

The most articulate, and confident was an alert, aggressive oldster who firmly declared that in Moscow Jews are not persecuted for their religion. Rather, he said, the decay of Judaism is caused by the disinterest of youth in Jewry.

"They don't want it," he said. The children, he added, are all Communists, He described Ids own family—son, daughter, their spouses and grandchildren—all professionals, alt Communists. They come to his home for Passover; not out of religious conviction but out of respect for him.

In the Soviet Union, he iidded, no Jew suffers because he-Is a Jew. His family; lives like all others. Housing is provided to Jews on a fair basis, Jews donft want careers in trade or commerce. They want to be ^professors, primarily medical doctors.

He knows of no Jewish family without at least one professional: Shortly afterwards, while the reporter was sitting alone at the rear of the synagogue for the evening prayer, a man who had been in the group with the articulate one sauntered down the middle aisle. On passing the reporter he leaned towards him and wliispered in Yiddish: "Everything he told you is a lie." The message given, he continued sauntering.

This incident provides.an insight into the extremes and distrust among Jews in the Moscow synagogue. All the hurried observer can safely assess is that in the Soviet Union there are both Jews and Jewish people. Between them are differences as vast as the USSR itself.

New® Around the World SS Men Charged Bonn (JTA)—Charges of wartime murders and assisting others to commit murders during the German occupation of Poland have keen filed against two former SS members, Johann Baecker, 60, and Hans Quambusch, 67. "",, • According to the charges, SS units in which the two men were enlisted carried out several . mass shootings of Jews. They also are charged With participating in tortures of Jewish women, men and infants. They did this, the charges «ay, on their own volition.

Prior to being taken into custody in March, r 1971, they had been living quietly in obscurity. ' Baecker was a salesman in Bonn and Quambusch was retired. Baecker, who entered a plea of not guilty, was charged with 72 murders. Quambusch declined to plead, "reserving , his defense against charges of 35 murders.

The trial date was not set.

Appeal Denied

:

WASHINGTON (JTA)-The appeal of John Patler, convicted of assassinating George Lincoln Rockwell in 1967, was rejected this week, by the Supreme Court. Patler, a 33-year-old former member of Rockwell's American Nazi Party, has denied guilt; Hejs serving a 20-year sentence..

Sentence Confirmed RABAT (JTA)—A court 'of appeals in Fez confirmed the 18-month sentence passed last Aprilby a lower court on Dr., Arthur Epstein, a French citizen and former resident of Israel, who was convicted of drug smuggling and attempted bribery.

'•• The lower court was criticized by several

Moroccan newspapers at the time for not charging Epstein with espionage for Israel.

Civil Marriage Bill JERUSALEM (JTA)—The Executive of the Independent Liberal Party announced that it would go ahead with plans to submit a bill providing civil marriage for Jews who are denied religious marriage because of some disqualification under religious law. The decision followed a refusal by the Labor Alignment to grant the ILP permission to submit such a bill. ' The Alignment maintained that questions of personal status come under the exclusive jurisdiction of the religious courts. The ILP contends that its bill does not violate the Coalition Platform as it would apply only to cases which v the rabbinical courts refuse to handle.

Cemetery Threatened PARIS- (JTA)—A public works project in Oran, Algeria, is threatening a Jewish cemetery there with partial destruction.

The Jewish consistory in Oran reported that about 2,000 graves will be unearthed to make way for the project on a strip of land recently expropriated by the authorities. The rest of the cemetery will not be affected.

Israeli Youth Cleared JERUSALEM (JTA)—A youth has been • cleared of charges of defacing the flag of a "friendly country when the magistrate ruled that it had not been proved that West Germany .is : friendly to Israel; Last year, on Holocaust memorial day, 23year-old Shalom Goldberg of Hebron climbed a pole at Jerusalem's Convention Center and tore strips from the black, red and gold West German flag. The magistrate said that diplomatic relations were not in themselves proof of friendly ties, and that the State had failed to' document Germany's friendship. -.-

Employment Quotas Assailed Fallsburg, N.Y. (JTA)—Employment "quotas" based on sex, race or any other standard but merit constitute "a danger,stalking the Jewish community," because u n d e r them Jews would be "reduced to second-class citizens," a rabbinical sociologist declared this week.

Lutherans Study Anti-Semitism Minneapolis (JTA)—Anti-Semitism "is not a separate entity, but just one facet of generalized prejudice," according to a two-year, $425,000 study by the Youth Research Center here for the Lutheran Brotherhood, a fraternal insurance society here.

Dr. Merton P. Strommen, an educational psychologist who headed the study, said one-fifth of the six million American Lutherans bear antiSemitic attitudes.

Dr. Arthur P. Johnson of the University of Minnesota, one of the researchers, said the study could not find a direct link between Christian training and anti-Semitism. This contradicted a 1966 study by Charles Glock and Rodney Stark of California.

Yeshiva Students Arrested "Tel Aviv (JTA)—Two yeshiva students from Jerusalem were arrested June 21 following the fire^combing of Eros, a "sex boutique" that markets erotic photographs and "sexual aids."

The youths were seized following a car chase in which shots were fired. Two other occupants of the car escaped.

Reparations to Be Paid Tel Aviv (JTA)—West German Ambassador, Jesco Von Puttkamer, said that his government would pay compensation to Nazi victims who arrived in Israel after 1965 and were therefore ineligible to share in the reparations paid to Israel under the 1952 agreement which expired before their arrival.

U.S. Aid to Israel Washington (JTAj—The Senate, In sharp, debate over a $1.7 billion foreign military aid authorization bill, voted to approve an additional $35 million in military aid to Israel. The sum is in addition to $50 million in security supporting assistance and $300 million in military sales credits already ear-marked for Israel in the measure. The Senate has yet to complete debate on the aid bill and must adopt an appropriations bill to lund it.

THE 1920's

MEMORIES— Past and Future The Jewish Community Center Building at 20th and Dodge is the source of many pleasant memories of the past five decades.

It was here that Omaha Jewry met and worked together io build a strong Jewish community.

It was here that Jewish families found athletic, recreational, cultural, educational and community service opportunities to enrich their lives.

EVEN IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE JCC, programs were Reared to meet the needs nnd Interests of all age groups. Members of s 1929 JCO Sewing Class pictured above are from left to right, Esther Bichman Cordman, Frances Blurakln Batt, Lottie Rips Bloch, Mary Arbltman Fclbnan and Edna Moskowiti Blatt.

.It was here fhat Jewish youth were exposed to a variety of programs which strengthened their Jewish identities and prepared them for adult leadership roles.

For five decades the Jewish Community Center has served the community, providing a host of pleasant memories.

THE 1930Y

But What About Tomorrow?

Jewish youth, Jewish families, Jewish organizations still have neecjs to be served by a Jewish Community Center. But. the building at 20th and Dodge is not equipped to serve the new needs.

A new Center is needed. The site at 132nd between Dodge tnd Pacific is right for a growing Jewish community in the suburban areas.

The design of the new Center building is right to serve the new needs of the Jewish community.

THE JCO. SWIMMING rOOL has always been a favorite spot of relaxation and enjoyment. This mem-" ory had its beginning in 1934 when these champions In the fight against topless bathing suits were pictured as they enjoyed the double refreshment of ire cream cones in the .ICC pool. I'letnretl from left to right are Joe Colin, Harry Trustln, Al Orach, Lea Grossman, Joe Rice, Phil Fcldman, Morris Blacker and Dave Cliesneau.

The time is right to build the. Center that will be the source of memories for tomorrow.
