Letters Received from Israeli POWs in Syria i

Producing a special iHue of the Jewish Pren obviouily takes more time and effort than the regular weeUy editions Part of the motivation for putting forth the extra effort i« the hope that the issue'will l>e special enough to warrant a place on the coffee table for a few days longer than the regular weekly editions. I'm not easily intimidated, but this time it happened. The procpect of this special edition was terrifying. I was told that this issue of the Jewish Press which highlights the new Jewish Community Center, would be put in a time capsule at the

dedication ceremonies for the Center and saved for 25 years. I have eooagb rgo to believe that with specbl efforl I can come up with a paper thai couM reasonably be saved lor a week or,>o. But 2} years! Mere effort and ego coalda't prodnce something worthy M that Uad of loagevKy. No woader I was iatimMated! At first the chaileage seemed ImpocsiMe. How do y«i relate the Festival of Passover to the openiag of a Jewish CommusUy Ccater? When Moses led the eiadas o«l of Egypt, they werea't going to a new Jewish Commuily Center! But there is a relationship!

The exodus of Egyptian Jews (ram slavery into freedom and the exodus of Omaha Jews into a new Center both represent the traditional optimism of Judaism. Both speak of the Jewish commitment to freedom and opportunity; the persistent belief in a better tomorrow. Similarly, the agricultural aspect of the Passover holiday is expressed symbolically In the new Center. Spring is a time for planting, sowing seeds for future healthy productive crops. If the new Jewish Community Center means anything, it represents the efforts of a Jewish community to sow the seeds for the perpetiuUon of healthy, productive Jewish life in the future. la thai sense it is Htthig that the two events sbaold colaclde. Even more fitting thai It sbanid happen this year. Traditionally the Pasaover Seder recalls the redemption of the Jews in Egypt. The Haggadah tells us that in every generation each Jew should regard himself as though he too were brought out of Egypt. This year, it was more than symbolic. It was terribly real. In the last 180 days, from a stark Yom Kippur afternoon to the Passover holiday we are about to observe, the threat to Jewish survival has been real. We have had good cause to fear. But despite the destruction, the loaa of life and personal tragedy, the people of Israd continue to keep the doors of freedom open; continue to provide a haven of hope (or those who seek it. Despite the loss of jobs, tbe persecution and threat of prtaon terms, soviet Jews continue to seek permission to emigrate to Israel; to seek the better tomorrow in freedom. In our own community, despite the prophets of gloom who plague us with statialics of assimilation, decaying Jewish vahies and fading Jewish life, we express our faith in the future with (he creation of a new Jewish ' Community Center. This Passover season we shed the fear of vanitblng and sow our seeds for a brig)it and active Jewish Community in the fiiturc. Twenty-five years frans R«w when the Tine Capsule la opened we will know hew sutcessful we have beta kl wr efforts, la tbe splrtt sf the season of bope. I predict that twenty-five years from now will find a strong and viaMc Jewish coromaaily In Omaha, living, learnfaig. playing and growing In an active, poiilive Jewish CemmHMy Csater.

From Dream to Reality — Almost/ By Mickey Gcrelkk What does it take to build a 'dew Jewish Community Center? The quick answer la "k>l* of money" which li true, but that's oaly part of the ttory. Money can provide a building, but it takes more than a building to make a Jewish Community Center. Our magnificent new Center is the result of exceptional efforts of countless people. It began with a search for a site more than 10 years ago when Jewish community leaders first recognized that the buikling on 20th and Dodge could no longer serve the needs of the community. A careful study was made of where Jewish families were living before determining where the new building should be. The choice of a site, however, was only the beginning of many problems and decisions to be made in the long months that followed. WhetvtoSUrt? Where does one start in jllanning a Center to serve the unknown needs of future generations as well as current peeds? In Omaha, it started with the appointment of Daalel KaUman as ovjer-all chairman of the New Center Project. Deeply involved in levery phase of the planning «nd building process, Dan Mid several others began the long meetings early in 1970 to ««iect an architect. I i.Norman BaU, one of the original "dreamers" of a new Center, subsequently became chairman of the Center Building Committee. The appointment turned out to be more of a full time Job thari a fpare.tlme activity. Norman, literally, has spent weeks and months full-time, watching over the construction process — meeting with architects, contractors and suppliers — using every means at his dispoaal to assure quality and value in the new Center building. Recalling the early days of the New Center Project, Mr. Batt noted, the heavy in-

suggestions, and trying to determine the physical requirements, operating costs and staff needs for suggested programs for the new Center. Before the final recommendations were made, each sub-committee held an open meeting at which time all members of the community were invited to present their views.

The study process began in January, 1971 with the appointment of Chuck Monasee as over-all chairman of the Study Committee. Six sub-committees were designated to study the needs in specific areas. Mrs. SMney Brooks served as chairman of the Pre-School and Children's Program Study Committer. Other subcommittee chairmen included: Howard Kaslow, High School, College and Young Adult Programs; Mrs. Morris C. Fellman, Older Adult Program; Mrs. Daniel Katzman, Cultural-Arts Programs; Irvin Yaffe, Health and Physical Education Programs> Richard Robinson, Community Use Study .Committee^-'^ The 250 members of the study sub-committOTs met regtdarly for several months studying programs of other Jewish Centers, hearing

It was a long process, but everyone had a chance to be heard. Every suggeitktn was given consMeration. Every effori was made to provide facilities and programs to answer the needs of every age and interest group. There were many long meetings with the architects to tell them the kind of things Omaha Jews wanted to be able to do in their new Center. Finally, the architects plans were approved by the Building Committee and by the Federation Executive Committee. The next step was getting bids for the consmiction. It was a long, tedious road that brought the new Center project to that point. There was interest and excitement in the community about the prospect of a new Center. Then came the moment of truth. The plans were magnificant. but in order for the plans to move from paper to brick, there had to be money — lots of money. Under the chairmanship of Murray Newman, a Building Fund Drive was organized.

The goal — to raise enough money to build the new Center mortgage-free. The initial response to the drive gave assurance that-Me goal could be reached, and so the contracts were let. On • wet, muddy Sunday in November, WZ, ground Mtas. broken for the new Jewish Community Center. Fifteen months later, the offices of the Jewish Federation and the Jewish Community Center staff were moved into the new buildhig. The offices are now functioning while workmen continue the task of completing the building. On April 28 the doors will open for registration for the spring programs. A concentrated effort is now being made, under the chairmanship of Ray Somberg, to enroll memt>ers. Murray Newman and. his committee are renewing their efforts to get building fund pledges from every Jewish family in the • community. The dream has become a reality — almost. The building is there, but the job isn't completed. Completion means more than a finished building. It means the commitment of the community expressed in building fund pledges and memberships. It means capacity enrollment in exceptional programs directed by highly qualified professionals. That's what it takes to make a Jewish Community Center.

A JCC "oldtimer" Remembers > By SAM ZWBIBACK The time was SO yean ago, Pasaover of 1824.1 wa* one of many youngsterf in our city, who belonged to a club of one kind or another. We had been meeting for a number of years, in the "Old Lyric Building," located on the east side of 19th street between Farnam and Douglas street, on the second floor. How well I remember the days when so nutny of my boyhood friends and myself, all of us "Omaha Newsboys,'' would congregate after our papers were disposed of, at the "Old Lyric Building." In looldng back now, the place had so little facilities, but in those days, it was still considered a second home for many of us. That was where we spent most of our leisure tiqie. After a number of years of Dreaming - Talking Meetings - Planning - and then the task of raising Money, by many of our community leaders, a new Jewish Community Center Building was built and opened to the entire Jewish Community. A dream finally became a reality. I remember how so many of us youngsters scrimped and saved, so that we could become a "Paid Member" of -the Center, at the rate of 18.00 per year for Juniors, and tlS.OO per year for Seniors. How Mr. Samuel Schaeffer, who at that time was the Executive Director of the Omaha Jewish Federation, as well as the best friend a Jewish youngster could have, saw to it, that no youngster was de()rived of the Center's

facilities, because of lack o{ finances, a precedent that is still being followed today. Who can describe the inner feelings of so many of us in those days, when we finally were able to have organited sports in our own Jewish Gym, in our own Jewish Swimming Pool, in our own Jewish Handball Courts, and Club Meetings in our own Jewish Community Center Building. A so-called first time, is always the best time, in recalling those wonderful years. Since sports played such a big pert of the "Center" It is only fitting that I recall many names, that I treasure in my memories. Physical Education Directors, â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Morrie Sogolow, Ed Burdick, Marcus Krasne, Manny Segal and Lee Grossman, who served during my socaUed youth.

Milton Livingston: A l\/lan Wiio Cares By Susie S«Dib«r( The name of Milton Livingston is integrally tied with the building of the new Jewish Community Center. The tnistees of the Livingston Foundation purchased the Center site and pledged to augment by one-fourth the sum raised through the Center Building Fund. In addition, at the time of his death in 1906, Mr. Uvingston was chairman of the Jewish Community Center Building Committee. Throughout his life, Mr. Livingston devoted ~ his energies to promoting those endeavors which would help to Insure a strong Jewish community for future

generations. His deep concern was shown by both his financial generosity u well as his deep personal involvement. Mr. Livingston served as head of the Israel Bond drive, Jewish Philanthropies campaign and president of both the Federation and Temple Israel. Temple Israel was aided greatly by Milton Livingston's efforts. He was instrumental in the development of Temples present building and largely responsible for the Religious School addiUon. He donated the chapel in memory of his wife, Corinne. . Livingston's Interests spread beyond the Jewsih

community as was seen by his participation on the Creighton Board of Regents and as a member of the Omaha Planning Board. His concern for the futi^ and his ability to grasp a long-range view of a subject served him well in those capacities. Not one to be a figurehead, Mr. Livingston became deeply involved in any project he undertook. He had a brilliant, disciplined mind. He would never enter a meeting without having thoroughly researched the subject and having equipped himself with all the pertinent facts and ngures.' He would listen to others speak, and then he would confront them with

facts no one else had uncovered. At no time was he caught unprepared. He was a highly opinionated man, but his opinions and decisioas were reached after meticulous study. A life-long resident of Omaha, Mr. Livingston created his wealth through his appliance dealership, and through wise Investments. He was a founder and Chahman o( the Board of the Center Bank. HeaOd his wife had one daughter. Few people really knew Milt Uvlngston. He was a non-verbal person who let no one see inskle of him. His austere face never revealed what he was feeling or

thinking. While he never look the time for social pleasantries. If the occasion demanded it, he could be both eloquent and clever. He respected fairness, loyalty, brilUance and honesty — qualities which also describe him. Mr. Livingston's dream of leaving a lasting contribution to the Omaha Jewish community has been fulfilled. Through his efforts and the generosity of his foundation, the Jewish Community Center will be able to serve the needs of our People for generations to come. Fear is Un to both envy and a guilty conscience.

Effort Coiitinued by Livingston Foundation Milton Livingston's impact on the Jewish community did not end with his death. His intense interest in building a new Center was shared by the Trustees of his foundation. In large measure the new Jewish Community Center is the result of the commitinent

and generosity of the Livingatpn Fountation Trustees. In addition to the gift of the $320,000 site, the Livingston Foundation has provided

declffl-ed: "Fear mounts that this outrage may herald a renewal of killing and persecution which has frequently marred the recent history of ^ria. We call upon the world to bring pressure to bear on the Syrian government to grant those who want to leave the right of emigration." At the same time, Abner J. Mikva, chairman of the Chicago Committee of Concern accused the Syrian government of being responsible for an "act of barbarism" in the murder of the four Jewish women. Addressing an emergency meeting of the Committee, \ilkva called for 'tenewed efforts on the part of all concerned Americans on behalf of the captive Syrian Jewish community." He added: "While the Syrian government has denied responsibility for this act of barbarism, the blame for the murden must be laid at the government's doorstep. In light of these tragic event, it is imperative that renewed protests be made to the Syrian President and (the Syrian) Ambassador to the United Nations."

"Now that his name was not on the POW list, they have lost all hope and have changed their way of life. Their sufferings are great. .. I call on you, as an Egyptian mother, to try and find my missing brother. The weeping of my father who never wept before and the black dress of my mother haunt me. My story is the story of thausan(ls of families." Mrs. Telem, whose father is the Mapam representative on the Acre Labor Council, noted in her letter that she was brought up in a mixed JewishArab town "where we know how to live together" and where many Arab friends share her family's grief. She was not brought up to hate Arabs, she wrote, or to glory in war and killing. "We in Israel do not teach our people to kill," she wrote.

NEW YORK, (JTA) - A special meeting of the board of directors of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America iUOJCA) decisively upheld a previous decision of the board to suspend the organization's participation in the Synagogue Council of America. The new meeting was called at the request of some board members who felt th^ the momentous nature of the issue required a special meeting. The meeting was attended by a majority of the ISO-member board. The original decision to suspend UOJCA participation in the Synagogue ciouncii developed from its consideration of framing an Orthodox response to the vigorous campaign against

amending the Law of Return in Israel, being waged by the American Reform and Conservative groups. The resolution "suspended the participation of the UOJCA in the Synagogue Council of America forthwith, in order to underscore the fact that the Torah community has never granted religious legitimacy to deviationist movements." The board further resolved to direct president Harold M. Jacobs to appoint a Study Committee to review the Union's membership status In the SCA and to report to the plenary session of the UOJCA national convention in Nov., in order to arrive at a final determination of the Union's relationship with the Synagogue Council ' of America.

A VERY HAPPY PASSOVER From

Mrs. Sadat said in her reply, "My husband believes in the call for peace and love." She said Egypt fought to free its occupied lands "but we do not wage war for the sake of war. We want peace, but the Israeli leaders, who are the leaders of the army too, have closed all doors

There is no marker at the ihore o( the Sea of Reeds where (he Israelite* escaped. Tour guides to the contrary notwithstanding, we are not at all certain where Mt. Sinai is. The Western Wall in Jerusalem is not the wall ct . the ancient Temple itself. In short, we are indifferent about buildings, monuments and shrines. But we do know what happened during the Exodu* from Egypt and appradnutely when. We do know that at Sinai a great revelation took place and there was a covenant between God and the People of lirael effected. We do know how intense were the feelings of our People toward worship at the ancient Temple in Jemalem and the specific Unwi when that worship took place. We care deeply ab«at sacred moments.

Greetings from JWB On b^air of the officers, Board and staff of the National Jewish Welfare Board, we extend hearty congratulations to the Jewish community of Omaha on the opening of the beautiful new Jewish Community Center. With the inclusion of the facilities of the Jewish Federation of Omaha, the Omaha Jewish Philanthropies, the Esther K.

The occasion is indeed an important milestone in the outstanding history of the Omaha Jewish Community's determination to strengthen Jewish group life in America.

During the years, JWB has enjoyed a close relationship with the Jewish Community Center of Omaha. JWB has been pleaaed to be a part of your development and growth.

The observance does not celebrate a long-past shadowy event ... it is an actuality.

We do not celebrate the deliverance of our fathers alone, but our own freedom as well.

Remembering the Old JCC "The nugnificent edifice of which we have long dreamed and for which we worked unceasingly is completed. True, it is a beautiful (tructure, comparing favorably with anything at ita kind to be found anywhere in the country. But what bums itaeU more deeply in our bearta and mind* than the physical beauty of our new Jewish Commtailty Center, is the thought that within that Center will be continued a work already begun, representing the finest and noblest sentiment within us. and from which will go forth a philosophy of Jewish life affecting the ideas, ideals, and the mode of life of all those coming under its infhience." Sm spoke Harry LapldM, presUeal of the JCC, at the dedicatloa of (he boUdhig at 2*th and Dodge b UM. In 1906 fourteen men had gathered at the home of Dr. Philip Sher at 16th and Jones to begin plans for a fundraising drive to finance a Jewish Community Center. Among the group were Morris Levy, Dr. Philip Sher, Carl Brandeis, Samuel Katz, Rabbi Frederick Cohn, Sol Brodkey, Harry A. Wolfe, A. B. Alpirn, Harry B. Zimnuin, A. J Miller, S. Ravitz, Nathan Bernstein, Isidor Zeigler, and J. Kalelman. Other meetings followed and a sum of 13,500 was pledged, but the amount actually collected was so small, due to the 1907 depression, that funds'^were returned and the project abandoned. In the meantime, the Talmud Torah building at 21st and Burt and later the Wellington Inn were used for Jewish activities. In 1912 another campaign succeeded in raising $18,000 toward a Center building fund, but the 1913 tornado, which affected large numt>ers of the Jewish community, put a temporary halt to fund raising activities. Again in 1917 a tnajor effort was mounted, but the 67,000 raised was returned when the V. S. entered World War 1 Finally, in June of 1922, at a banquet in his honor, Morris Levy, a founder of the Nebraska Clothing Company and president of the Jewish Welfare Federation, pledged toward a new JCC a gift of IM.OOO, provided the community would raise an additional 1300,000.

munity Center were William Holzman, president; H. A. Wolf, viceiireaident; Harry H. Lapidus, secreiary; and Louis Kirschbraun, treasurer. William Blumenlhal. director of the Jewish Welfare Federation, was offered the joint position of executive director of the JCC at a combined annual salary of $5,000. Samuel Gerson became superintendent of the JCC in September, 1926. The by-laws of the JCC provided that active members with voting priviledges must be Jews. Non-Jews "of good moral character" could be associate members. Dues were KO yearly for active members, $18 for associate members, with a descending scale for younger members of the community. The first annual report of the JCC sUted that "the pressing duty is to augment our present membership with at least SCO additional members to assure us a measure of safety in keeping within our yearly budget of $40,000." Records showed a total of 473 deliquent members in the first year of operation. An article in the Jewish Community Center Dedication Book, written by director William Blumenthal, described Jewish observance as follows: "The Center will observe in appropriate fashion the Sabbath and every Jewish Holy Day and holiday. On Sabbath and Jewish hoUdays the office, the gymnasium, the swimming pool and the hand-ball courts will be closed. The bulletin board will contain the Jewish Calendar, will announce the Sedra and the Haf lorah of the week and the time when Sabbath and the major festivals begin and close. In the foyer will be placed a menorah which will be lit on the Sabbath Eve and on the

Eve of the Holidays. The atmosphere of the Center will be surcharged with the Holiday spirit, and the young people will have the festival and its meaning Tirmly implanted in mind and heart." Blumenthal also voted that "we must bear in mind that the Jewiah Center is the focal point of adjustment to Judaiam and Americanism; that its purpose is to stimulate self-expression ol the Jewish community; that it must inculcate moral and spiritual values; and that it must develop the Jewish soul. Otherwise our structure is btick and mortar and will crumble to pieces." Members of the office staff of the JCC in 1926 included Bess E. HayUn, secretary; Morria Civin, office administrator ; and Lottie Selicow, stenographer. Other Center employees were Ed. Burdick, physical director; Dave Chesno, assistant physical director; Mrs. S. Nathan, manager, kosher restaurant; and Mrs. Ricklie Boasberg, dramatic director. An ad in the 1928 JCC dedication book suggested: "Make Nathan's Lake your country retreat as you make the Jewish city." Nathan's Lake was S^^" miles north of Florence. Another ad read: "TULLY Says: For Sociability Let's All Go To The Jewish Community Center and to TULLY'S for HATS and CAPS • The openkg of the JCC at 20lh and Dodge was attended by a week of celebration. On Friday, June 4, 1926, members of the board of directors appeared at religious services in all local synagogues to announce the completion of Uieir task. On Sunday, an afternoon open house was followed by evening dedication exercises. A kosher banquet took place on Monday, followed on Tuesday by ladies' day and a grand ball. The Omaha Hebrew Club took over the building on Wednesday and B'nai B'rith activities were held on Thursday. 1926 officers of the JCC were Harry H. Lapidus, president; Henry Monsky, vice-president; Joe L. Wolf,

secretary; and Louii Kriacbbraun, treasurer. Trustees weie*A. B. Alpirn, N. P. Fell, Abe GoUstein, Wm. L. Hohmin, M. Kulakofsky, Hsrry Malashock, J. J. Sloahburg, Dr. Philip Sher, trvin Stalmaater, Harry A. Wolf, and Harry B. Zimnian. The Billiard Room at the JCC brought in nearly IISO during its first three months of operation. No one under eighteen was permitted entrance to the room. The Fh-sl Annual Report of the JCC sUted that "our dining room, or 'East Gesundt,' after going through a rather stormy career, was re-opened under the auspices of the Ladiea of the Center. Today, the effort ia on trial. The future is in the hands of the Jewish Community of Omaha. While the Dining Room has not made any money for us, It has not lost any." Among the activities at the JCC in the early years ware a volunteer training course, charm school, orchestra, glee club, piano Instruction, dancing, chess, Jewish education and Americanization classes. Boy Scout troops and Camp Fire Girls met in the building, as well as four Young Judea groups sponsored by Mrs. M. Levenson. ,Resh fraternity held a dnac^^iiKDecember, 1936 to raise fund^ for the JCC library.

YAD Finds a Home NA\ By RICH PEARL Omaha's new "J" will open soon, and Just seeing the outskle of it is enough to whet tte curiosity o( those YAD'ers who haven't toured the building. YAD (Young Adult Division of the JCC has been told that a large meeting room and kitchen will be available to them in the evenings (during the day, it will be used by the senior citizens. The room will be great for planning parties, dances, dinners, picnics, trips — all the things single young adulu enjoy. And, of course, the odier {acilities c( the center will be available, too — gym, Ubrary, pools, etc. The new JCC building will gives "home" to YAD, which in the past has conducted its meetings at various places. Having a regular meeting place available, will make planning easier. YAD, is the only organised group in the Omaha metrofwlitan area attempting to serve the needs and interests of the young Jewish single adult community. Basically, it's a group of young adults in their 20s and 3QB who like to do things together. All members have

the opportunity to make sugge^iou for the group's activities and to plan the event*. Kay Bernstein and Gary Colick, for example, have been two YAD'ers staging successful dance-parties recently and Kay did roost of the work on a trip to KC kst weekend. Fern Sperling and Ellie Yager organized a talent show for the folks at the Sher Home. Maody Greene and Al Knieger, two servicemen from Offutt, organized a popular tour of Strategk Air Command hetdquarten. These are Just a few of the things YAD has done — and, with the continued interest of young adults in the continued interest of young adults in the community, will continue to doit. YAD ian't one of those tightly organized, all-boldhandsand -folio w-the-leader groups. We're very flexible and are successful in worUng things out in a relaxed manner. Any young Jewish single adults can join and become part of the action. Yad looks torward to exciting things at the New JCC. Why not Join us?

|Some Interesting Facts About I Jewish Community Centers E

More than 400 JewUh Community Centers and branches in more than MO cities in the United States and Canada serve nearly 700,000 memtwrs and own buildings vahied at $100,000,000. The annual operating expenditures (or all Centers are. approximately 125,000,000. Centers are big enterprises employing some 1,500 professional people. How did ite Oaater movement start — aad whit accounts for its growth? Born in America, the Jewish Community Center movement is basod on the principle that what unites Jews is stranger than what mm the arst Young Men's Hebrew AssocUUon (YMHA) was dedicated in Baltimore in 1H4, it was simply an agency serving young men. It's opening was followed by YMHA's in AufusU, Ga., 1«S7; Buffalo, N.Y., laSB; CleveUnd, Ohio, 1I5>. The first facilities of YMHAs consisted mainly of reading roonu, and the Brst paid officer was generally the librarian. By 1067 when the UMHA in Cincinnati opened, it was cVear that the Center was more than a local association and was part of a potential national movement. Emphasis on Jewish culture was apparent from the beginning and was encouraged by the rabbis, a number of whom led in organiiing YMHAs and often served as their presidents. Social and sports activities were eventually intnduced. A common purpose and pragram began evolving as a range of classes was offered in local YMHAs in Jewish stiM^, vocational subjects, the arts, foreign languages and literature. Jewish holiday cdebrations were outstanding comminity social events. Group ac-

tivities were opened to women as well as men. For many years, the YMHAs conducted employment bureaus and they remained a regular feature of membership service until about 10 years ago. YMHAs. as far back as 1S7S, established a tradition of fostering interest in formal Jewish education for children. In 1«1S, religious schools were conducted by 45 YMHAs. Prom IMS to UM, JewiA immigration lo the United Stales took a breathing spell and made it possible for the Jewish eominunities in this' country to organhte for the orderly growth of Jewish life.

By 1*00, the number had grown to a million and a decade later, it reached two million. Memberships ia YMHAs grew; new facilities were built and programs were expanded. Paid secretaries were hired essentially as administralors or managers. Subsequently, "superintendents" were employed corresponding to today's executive directors. Physical education instructors had been empktyed since UM.

The first attempt to organize nationally was made in IHO when the American Hebrew Associatwn was formed, with a membership of about 25 kical asaociatkms. It was dissolved three years later. The next attempt was made in ISM, when the United Young Men's Hebrew Association was established. The number of kical YMHA's and the number of affiliates was growing when the financial panic of 1193 brought about cessatkm of activities. It was not until two decades later that national body was successfully formed. Finally, in 1913 the "Council of Young Men's Hebrew am) Kindred Associations" waa formed.

New Organization Serves Needs of 'Previously Married' Jews in Buffa

'u-isl

BUFFALO, N.Y. <JTA) A meeting last May of a group of widowed and divorced Jewish women, stimulated by two staff members of Buffalo Jewish social agencies, has led to formation of a Previously ,,Marricds organization which carries on a wide range of programs organized by its members. The women who developed the idea are Janice Stiller, a counselor with the Jewish Family Service, and Sylvia Small of the Jewish Community Center. Mrs. Stiller reported that attempts were made over the years by the JFS to reach the unmarried, widowed and divorced Jews in Buffalo. Until recenUy, she added, Jews did not want to talk about divorce, and programs lo get them lo meet and discuss their problems were considered too (Minal. She added that the synago^des, where such Jews might have been able to go "for comfort or counseUng" paid little attention and single parents, particularly, "felt • like the black sheep of the congregation." She uid the widowed Jew could count on sym^thy and the divorced man could and did make himself part of the community again, but die divorced Jewish wooun felt stigmatized and had the hardest time coping with her new life. Mrs. Small hied to organize pracnuns at the center for •ingle parents but found such Jews reluctant to participate, Mrs. Stiller said. At that point, the two women decided td try to get divorced and wklowed women and men to meet and teU them what kind of aervieM the JFS and the center could provide them. No men showed up though they had been invited. The woDMB at the iqittal maaling

said they wantied to know how to raise children without a spouse. They asked how to communicate to a child that the divorce was not the fault of the child and how to arrange for visitation rights.

It is the Iranians rather than the Kurda wha constitute the kind of military threat that forces Baghdad to keep its army at home rather than in Syria where It fought againat Jsrael In the Yom Kippur War. If Iraqi forces cannot be expected to re-enforce the Syrian army along the Golan Heightt, the Damascus regime may weU adopt a more moderate position. Israeli sources believe. The

hawks in Damascus who are demanding that President Hafei Assad cooperate with Iraq against the "soft line" taken by President Anwar Sadat of Egypt are not likely to prevail if Iraq becomes militarily and politically embroiled in its own internal problems. If the Iraqis find tbemselve* with a full-scale rebellion on their hands backed by Iran, the pace and tenor of disengagement talki with Syria could be affected, observers here believe.

Dayan, Schlesinger Discuss Israel's Military Needs WASHINGTON, (JTA) Israeli Defense Minister Mosbe Oayan and Secretary of Defenae James Schlesinger engaged in a discussion at the Pentagon this week presumably on the qullty of Soviet and American weapona of comparable BtfTMse used ia the Yom Kippur War and Israel's requirements to meet possible future onslaughts from Its Arab neighbors, particularly from the air. No specific informatioo on the

nature of the mseUiig was released. Sitting in on the discussion were Deputy Defense' Secretary Willism Clements and the head of Israel's Purchasing Mission in New Yoric, Schmuel Dror. The Israeli Embaasy Air AtUche, Col. Yeshayahu Areket, who ia acting at the Embassy's Defense Attache, also wu present. Dror's presence seemed to indicate that the question of the cost of U.S. wespona wu hhlgh on the

agenda. President Nbcon has not yet determined how much of the $2.2 billion in aid to Israel is to be given as a gift. The President can grant up to 11.6 billion of the total sum and nearly all of the remaining roo million in loans. Dayan discussed the matters, it was understood, with members of the Senate Armed Services Committee at the invitation of its chairman, Sen. John Stennis (D. Miss.).

JERUSALEM, (JTA) The Knesset Finance Committee is going to discuss the latest issue aglutlng Israeli society — charges that President Ephraim Katzir is spending too much of the taxpayers' money for his household and personal expenses. The charges, new to Israeli life, were published in Haaretz and picked up by most other newspspers. The matter came up because the Knesset must soon approve an IL 1570 million Presidential household budget for the 197475 fiscal year, a seven per cent increase over the current budget. Haaretz charged that the Preaident has overspent his'praaent budget by IL 700,000 and that the proposed

new budget contains two items that never were included in the budgets of previous Presidents — IL 10,000 for "clothing for the President and his wife" and IL 14,800 for "food products," above and beyond "food for receptions," which Haaretz claimed will cost some IL 50,000 in the next fiscal year. The President's Office initially had no comment on the Haaretz article. However, a statement over the weekend noted that during the past year, and particularly since the Yom Kippur War, Presidential activities increased considerably. The number of delegations from abroad calling on the President is many time* greater than in previous years and Katzir ha* broadened the scope of the Preaident'* Office, the *tatement said. According to Haaretz, Katzir employs sU more staff member* than were approved; his office pays IL 1100 a month to rent an apartment for his personal secretary; his office spends IL 3000 a month for flower* "because the President love* flowen"; and IL 50,000 a year is spent to maintain Katzir's home In Rehoyoth where he continues his scientific work at the Weizmann Institute of Science.

In their appeal, the clerics requested the court to ask the military authorities about the fate of the 131 deUinees, ' where they are being held and

the reaioM for the detentions. The appeal also asks for the immediate release of those who are being detained without legal reasons. There was no immediate indication as to whether any of the detainees are Jews. Rabbi Kreiman, r, is a Conservative rabbi who came to Santiago from Buenos Aires in imt titer three Conservative rabbis and one Orthodox rabbi left the country after Dr. Allende

Rabbi Kreiman, a member of the Rabbinical Assembly and the World Council of Synagogues, was instrumental in reviving synagogue sttendance in Santiago by okler as weU as younger Jews and also aided in the nuintenance of the Orthodox synagogue.

One of the bodies found was that of Aatef Sadat, an Egyptian pilot who waa the step-brother of President Anwar Sadat. His remains were handed over to Egypt last weekend and he was buried in the Nile delta. He was shot down while participating in an Egyptian air attack on Refldim in the Bir Gifgafa region of central Sinai only ten minutes after Egypt launched its surprise attack last Oct. 6. The body, missing until last week, was identified Uirough papers found on it. The Falaahas, Abyssinian ^ews, do not partake of food on the eve of Passover. This fast lasts until after the sacrifice of the Paschal lamb. Like the Samaritans, they follow the ancient custom of sacrificing a lamb on Passover.

Klutznick 'Confident' About Jackson BiH DALLAS, (JTA) - A Jewish communal leader expressed "confidence" last week that Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger and Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D.Wash.) tould, "If they will it," conciliate differences bet«Ma the Jackion Amendment and the Administration's efforts toward detente with the Soviet Union.

ViolencaonTV Rapped in hraal JERUSALEM, (JTA) Icraeli ministers, debating Ae merits and defects of ttie nation's radio and television riiows, rapped the television •ledia for showing too many programs dealing with turder and violence. Anotlier complaint by the ministers was that television strened ' Ihe negative aspects of Israeli society and thereby lowered morale. The religious ministers denunded an end to Sabbath morning televlsiao : which was introduced diring i^lhe Yom Kippiir War.

"I have confidence in (their) ability to find a formula to preserve ttie integrity of both positions," Philip M. Klutznick told the B'nai B'rith Women's triennial convention. "They are both astute, able and committed Americans." Addressing some 1000 delegates, Klutznick .^id tlie Jewish community "owes a deep debt of gratitude" to Jackson, Rep. Charles Vanik (D.Ohio) "and their supporting colleagues for what they did fjr the many Russian Jews who secured freedom. But now the Secretary of Slate, whose* actions before, during and since the Yom Kippur War merit our approbation, insists that the Jackaon-Vanik Amendment will deter Russian emigration instead of faciliUttng it. He has earned some benefit of doubt." In ihe Spilalfiekis section of London's East End, it was ooce the custom for Jewish householders to present matxolh to their non Jewish neighbors on Passover.

build a career and sacrificea lier ego and self for the needs of her husband, her children and her home. A modem-day slave, she bears her lot because tlie norms of her society oblige her to do so. If ibe goes out to work there too she is usually relegated to a subordinate position. He is tlie doctor, she the nurse. He is the executive, she his secretary. In politics, few women indeed reach the top. In Oie current Knesset, nine out of the 120 members are women. The Feminist Movement in Israel began when Ms. Friedman arrived ijere two yean ago and opened an informal seminar at her home which she called "The Piychopolitical Situation of Women in Israel." She says it was a sensation. Within weeks the original group of eight had grown into many hundreds of interested women. She lectured throughout ttie country and tlie Movement began its own periodical which it named "Nilaliem," meaning "We shall fight." The Hebrew word is also an acroatlc standing for "Women for a New Society." Ms. Friedman feels her Movement has a much broader base ttian its active membership alone. "Most women in Israel, even if Uiey don't actually jdin us, support ua or sympathize," she says. Tlie next step she plans on belialf of Israeli Women's Lib is to organize all ttie women Knesseters into a "feminine solidarity caucus." She wants tosee ttietn work in the House in concert, regardless of party affiliations, on issues of concern to women.

Leonard BaakiD, noted artist, provided U 'I new watercolor illi4lrations depicting the characters and symbolisms of the Passover ritual.

He categorized the previous im volume as "dignified, rationalistic and unemotional" while the new Haggadah, he said, "restores the joy and meaning of the festival while relfecting our generation's recovery of the whole realm of the sacred, spiritual, mystical, and ethical concepts. We blend the traditions of the past with modern Interpretations."

Rabbi Barry L. Weinstein, of Temple Israel, addressed several classes at Dana College this week. The Rabbi met with the PhUoaophical Ethics class, and later visited the latredaction to the New Tettamrat class. He also addressed a Humantitles open forum. Rabbi Weinstein's appearance is sponsored by the Jewish Chautauqua Society, educational project of the National Federation of

Temple Brotherhoods, which fCMiters better understanding of Jews and Judaism through education.

Mrs. Abe Bear has been appointed as VAVS representative of the Women's Organizations' Services at the Omaha Veterans Administration Hospital for another two year term by the National Jewish Welfare Board.

US, Egypt to Renew Diplomatic Ties WASHINGTON, (JTA) Diplomatic relations between the United States and Egypt will soon be at the level prior to the Six-Day War. The SUte Department announced that it expects to reopen its Consulate-General in Alexandria in mid-May and that the Cairo government will reactivate its ConsulateGeneral in New York, loo. Department spokesman John iUng said that the U.S. move is in keephig with "the

increasing commercial and other activities" resulting from the flow of diplomatic relations that resumed Feb. 28. While diplomatic ties formally were severed by Egypt in June 1967, the consulate relationship was not broken. Both nations, however, closed down their offices in New York and Alexandria as well as their embassies in Washington and Cairo, the Egyptians being the first to do so in each case.

The Fifth Cup Passover is the festival of our Freedom. "Hie symbols of the Peaach Seder concern themselves with the four freedoms: freedom from fear; freedom of speech; freedom of religion and freedom of the press. E^ch one of us is to look upon himself as if he personally went out of Egypt. We are not only to empathiie with all freedom fighters, but we are to assist in every way possible those who are struggling for freedom. We gave and continue to give of our resources to Israel and to k>cai causes. But, we must not forget the stranger and tbe alien in our midst; tlMse who come from afar to be with us on Passover. Many Russian Jews are coming to the VS. to seek freedom. We in Des Moines and other areas of the country must do all in our power to make them feel free, for they indeed ha've escaped spiritual persecuton. As we toast the four freedoms by drinking the four cups, we work and wait for the day when we can partake of the Sth cup, representing total redemption and peace and freedom for all peoples.

The total sales of the 1973 Campaign was over tSOO.OOO, a new record in bonds for the Des Moines Jewish Community. Mr. Hockenberg commended the leadership of Harry Pomeranti in this Campaign. A Local Needs Campaign report was presented by Stao Eiigman. Mr. Engman noted that a third of the cards have been turned in and that the results are encouraging. The meeting ended with an open-ended discussion on the relationship of local needs to that of world Jewry.

This I Believe

Sept.U.lIM I am sure it goaa without saying that wc aU bdieve that thto worM in which we live is governed by physical laws, which are inherent in the very nature of the universe ... So also do I believe that our world is governed by moral laws, whkh set the standards for tbe ethical, the spiritual, the dhrlne in our lives. We might say that thaae moral laws are God4nipind, — revealed to man, and formulaied by him for his inspiration and guidance ... These moral laws find their finest espresskm in the Ten Commandments, and in all the ethical teachings ol every religion, which man has established for the conduct ol his life. Man alone, because be has a mind, a consciousness, and therefore a conscience, is able to distinguish between right and wrong, — and must therefore live according to these moral taws of the universe, in order to be in harmony vnth his best self, his God, and his fellow-men. The problem of good and evil has baffled philosophers and sages from the beginnings of recorded thought. We all have so often been bewildered and perplexed by the problem of why some people have good hick, and some have bad luck ... I beDeve very strongly that ^^qod luck and bad ludc may come to any of us, but that at no time does good luck come to us as a reward, nor bad luck as a punishment. I beliave that my religion. Reform Judaism, gives me a moat rational, reasonable and satisfying way of life; because iU philosophy is based on the Unity and the Fatherhood of God, — and on the Brotherhood of man; because it puU its emphasis on the good life, — tbe moral aad disciplined life here on earth. By the "Good life" I do not mean a life spent in selfindulgence and pleasure. The "good life" is D0( something which can be bought; - it Is sometMng which only we can make for ourselves ... It can never cone Just from " having poaasssions"; ... it

can only come from "sharliv" our poisesstont, aad ••rsehre*, with others. I believe that aa Jews we are hnmeasurably blessed to be Uvlng in Iheae United Stales, — where we can breathe the abr of freedom; for 300 years now we ha ve had that Uesaed privilege; but I believe that this privUege of living in a free and democratic society must be paid for by wrvice to that society; — for I believe shiceM^ that the boat way "to live in a comminity is to do some of the work tlwre." I believe tlut we sre meant to get as much happineai ai we possibly can, during our life on Uiii earth; but happiness is not something tangible, wliich we can grasp andhoU: it U •> atUhide, - a state of mind. Happineas can be found through selfacceptance; happineu can be found by accepting, with courage and fortitude, our disappointments and our sorrows; happiness can be found by facing life with a "cheerful Krenity."

By Robert Mannbelmer The task of the American Jewiih community today Is to maintain its identity without forgetting iti continuing obligation to contribute to the accomplishment of the American dream. It is particularly important to address ourselves to this "delicate balance" when we are determining the future course of our Des Moines Jewish community. We must maintain and' enrich the quality of Jewish life. We must not, in the words of Dr. Marie Syrldn, editor of the Herzl Press, nnlnimize our Jewlsbneas to prove our unimpeachable loyalty to America, or submerge our Jewish identity in an enthusiastic attempt to achieve an amorphous "brotherhood of man." However, we must understand that American Jews have prospered exactly in proportion as the democratic ideal of the equality of roan was honored. Though the American record on treatment of Jews has not been perfect, the progress of the American Jewish community has been steady and brilliant despite these defects. In no other country has so large a Jewish comminity been able to utilise so fully ttw opportunities afforded by a free society. It is also essential that we not lionize the State of Israel. Israel is of special importance to American Jews, not only at a source of identity and pride but at a

haven for the persecuted. It is also a community of Jews which needs and deaerves our help to the fullest extent of our ability to provide that help. Yet, I believe it is a mistake to accept uncritically everything that Israel, or even individual Israelis, do or say without exercising our own Independent judgment. Ths tendency is a disservice not only to ourselves but to the Israelis. Exaggerating the wisdom of positions and actions of the State of Israel is only Indirectly related to my "happy medium," which Is In essence a concept applicable only to the American Jewish community. There Is no doubt, though, that attitudes toward Israel influence the feelings of American Jews about the point at which the balance I am suggesting Is achieved. An American Jew who thinks of himself only as a Jew in' America, and whose overriding loyalty la to Israel, is less likely to realize the prime Importance of achieving that balance. That balance is not only in the enlightened self-interest of the American and world Jewish communities; It Is, more Importantly, right and in teeping with the traditional ethics of Judaism. The survival of democratic pluralism and social justice In America cannot, as we have recently been reminded, be taken for granted. The Jewish community's growing preoccupation with parochial

' group concerns and lack of attention to the concerns of society as a whole, what I might call withdrawal symptoms, are disquieting and even dangerous. Group goals cannot be achieved by withdrawal from the larger society. They can be achieved only with the support of other groups. Group insularity spells only intensified polarization and hostility in which antiSemitism and other manifestations of bigotry thrive. Jews* have been among the foremost exponents of the traditional American participation in all segments of our aoclety. By withdrawing we are destroying that tradition and endangering American pluralism. As we conclude our deliberations on the future course of our Des Moines Jewish commimity, we must strive for that happy medium. We must preserve our Jewish heritage by enriching it in the years ahead, but in so doing we must be mindful of the essential Importance of America's pluralistic atmosphere. We must not destroy the foundation on * which we have been able to build the greatest Jewish community the world has known. Now that we have In large measure achieved what American Jews have always said they wanted to achieve, we must not let the pendulum swing too far back. We must preserve the balance between

constructive democratic pluralism and creative Jewiih living. We must remember that conditions of equal opportunity, equal rights and equal justice are the best assurance, for Jewi and others, of freedom and security for the individual, of the opportunity for creative improvement of distinctive group life. Dr. SyrUn lubmits that the ultimate ideal Is the creation of a culture and a sute in which Jews are the majority, and that Jewish survival, spiritual and physical, is predicated on the existence of a national state. However, she alio recognizes the need for developing Jewish cultural life In all its aspects in the United SUtes. I ask only that as we seek to enrich the quality of Jewish life in Des Moines, we not forget that perhaps the single most Important ingredient is the freedom from oppression which enables us to work toward that goal. As the Joint Program Plan of the National Jewiah Community Relations Advisory Council states, our purpose should be "to foster conditions conducive to creative Jewish living in a free society, in which groups may freely cultivate their distinctive group values while entering fully into the general life of the society with mutual acceptance and regard for difference."

Tom Thoughts

The New 'Jay' and Me By Sara Newman As a young member of the Jewish Community, I am k>oking forward to the future activities at the new Jewish Community Center. As the youngest member of the Nick Newman family, I am motivated to participate in its many recreational and cultural activities. Why me? For as long as I can remember I have been raised to be a part of UK Jewish community. Both my parents have visited Israel many times. Among their trips was a UJA Mission, a Prime Minister's Mission, and various pleasure trips. Most of all, 1 remember our family trip, spending the summer of 1969 in Israel. I have seen all the members of my family work hard to build a better life in our community, and to sustain Israel's existence. I (eel the 'old' Jewish Community Center lacked many things. The old Center lacked adequate, comfortable meeting rooms. Until quite recently, there was not enough qualified staff to

sponsor the social, educational and athletic programs. I look to the JCC not only as a place to gather socially, but to come to discuss Jewish ethics, problems and concerns. I like reading and I am. looking forward to spending time in the outstanding JCC library, nUed with Jewish literature that will increase my knowledge of our people. In my opinion, the old Jay's girls' athletic department did not accomodate girls from fifth grade through high school. I do hope one of the (our beautiful basketball courts in the new center will be nude available to girls. I have not competed in any Center sports for five years, because there hasn't been any basketball, volleyball or softbaU offered. Now that the Center is nearly complete, I remember the times my father used to sit around the kitchen table with plans of the new JCC, discussi,M the expenses and necesctues of the Center. The new Center means a lot to me.

Likud Calls for West Bank Vote JERUSALEM, (JTA) The Likud Knesset faction decided to submit a private bill calling for a national referendum on the future of the West Bank. The bill, initiated by Henit leader Menachem Beigin and supported by Gen. Ariel Sharon, founder of Likud, was in response to a statement by Defense Minister Moshe Dayan in New York Saturday night that Israel was prepared to negotiate with Jordan and the Palestinians, Beigin said. According to Beigin, that statement made by Dayan at a dinner of the United Jewish Aptieal. indicated that the government was prepared to make territorial concessions. The present Cabinet majority may support "the repartition of Eretz Israel" but most of the public is against it and therefore the issue must be decided by the people through

a referendum. Beigin said. Sharon said the public has to decide before the government completes negotiations for territorial concessions. He urged the establishment of "fails accomplis" in the territories to preclude their return to the Arabs.

A Very Happy Passover 4'! ii:

During Passover I9S2, for the first time in five years, Samaritans living in Israel were permitted to offer up the traditional paschal lamb on Mt. GerUim (Mt. of Olives), located in territory now occupied by the Jordan Government. Crossing into the Jordan-lield territory via the Old City, sixty-five members of the ancient tribe reunited with two hundreij of their brethren in the Arab City of Nablus and proceeded from there to nearby Mt. Gerizim for the sacrifice.

Black Leaders Touring Israel

JERUSALEM, (JTA) - Six Black educators, clergymen and administrators, specialists in the development of low-income rural cooperatives in America's southern states, arrived ia Israel last week for a week of intensive study of Israel's "moshav" system. The group planned to determine ways by which the highly successful "moshav" operations can be duplicated in the Black cooperatives of the Southern U.S. It also hopes to enlist the direct aaaistance of Israelis with technical experience in "moshav" methods, who wouU come to the United States to help set up similar systems here.

'A Center for all Jews' Omaha — "One way or another, the Jewiih CommiBity Center movement hai aiw|iyi been a part of my life," uys Hy Tabachnick, the Director of the Omaha Jewish Community Center. "I started off as a JOC camper and, well, here I am." The road from camper to JCC director has not been a straight and narrow one for Hy, but the thread of commitment to viable Jewish commiBiity life is clearly evident in hia lifestyle and personal philosophy. Speaking about his early JCC oomeotloM Hy says, "After 8 years as a camper at the aeveland JCC camp, I joined the sUff as a Utcben boy ,and later became a coumelor and worked in various capacities in the camp.

"In tlie summer of IKI I visited brael with the National Young Jndea movement. The visit made a deep impression on me, and I hoped to emigrate to Israel someday. With thU in mind, I started college in Dairy Khool, but soon realized that agriculture was not for me. I finally graduated with a degree in sociology. But that trip to Israel intensified my ambition to make a career in the Jewish commiaiai area." It waa during his army service in Frankfurt, Germany, that Hy became actively involveid in Jewish communal work. In Frankfurt he helped set up a summer ckmp for Jewish children under the auspices of the Joint Distribution Committee. "After my tour of duty waa up, I was offered a

Ury Katt. Director JCC Yeoth AcUvlUes

OMAHA — Are Omaha teenagers any different than their counterparts in other parts of the country? According to Larry Katz, Director of the Department of Youth Services of the Jewish Community Center, "No, not really, basically kids are kids," he lays, "They have similar fads, similar kinds of crazes and similar behavior." Katz has a background of ten years in the Public School system. He has served as guidance counsellor in Junior and Senior High schools and has worked in synagogue schools as weU. Originally from New Jersey, Larry made the move to Omaha specifically because it offered him the opportunity to work with Jewish youth in a Jewish oriented setting. He also serves as director of the Young Adult group at the Center and he recently assumed the responsibilities of director of the Combelt Region of B'nai B'rith Youth Organization. Larry and his wife Barbara love Omaha and the mid-W^t. "It is very different here from the east coast," he said. "People ' are more friendly, less materialistic and take things as they come." Larry feels that these same qualities in the youth may account for a certain amount of apathy towards any form of activism — political or Jewish. He believes that Omaha teens feel frustrated because In' recent years there has been a lack of adult guidance and encouragement. "The New Jewish Community Center and programming will offer the kids the stable support for which they are looking," he said, and to this end, his department is recruituig volunteer adult workers to aid in developing youth programs.

Youth Department Programs LOUNGE AND GAMEROOM Juntor high members and their guests have available a spacious lounge-gameroom for their exclusive use.

Ai the director of one of the few on-going programs to transfer into the New JCC, ^ Mollie is very excited about the possibilities for her department in the new building. "There is no reason why the older members of our community shouldn't participate in every aspect of the Center programming," she said, "from swimming, gymnastics and arts and crafts to enjoying music and using the library." MoUie's enthusiasm is largely responsible for the success of the older adults weekly gatherings. The group, with ages ranging from 55 to 96, meets each Monday at 10:30 a.m. to play cards, bingo, work with arts and crafts and sometimes see movies. For a nominal fee at noon, the group enjoys a good

others, the Monday meetings are opportunities to see friends and enjoy activitiei together. We even have a regular contingent from the Dr. Philip Sher home who enjoy our meetings," said Mrs. Delman. The JCC Senior Adults are represented on the City-wide SenkH- Citiien Council and one of "MoUie's boys," JM Rice, is a member of the Mayor's Commission on Aging. A year ago, MolUe'i department initiated a program for retired and semiretired professional and business men. It started with 22 men attending the first luncheon. Today there are 190 members of the "JC Oldtimert" who meet bi-monthly for movies, limch, cards and invariably excellent guest speakers.' The success of the OMer Adult department rests largely with the director herself. MoUie's ebullient personality, her warmth, her infectious humor and her good nature and understanding attracts people to her and her concern for them and their welfare .keeps drawing them. "I really love working with the older people," she said, "I knre them as individuals and their appreciation for everything I do is touching. And I do care about them, I care that they get out of their bouses and have somewhere logo at least once a week, and 1 care that when they get to the JCC, that they wUl have a good time." Isn't that what social work ia aO about, caring?

Mark Comes Home Omaha-Mark ZalUn, young man with exceptional musical talent, proves the exception to the rule that "a prophet is without honor in his own country." Bom and raised in Omaha, Mark, at 24, has returned with a Bachelor and Masters degree in Vocal Music Education from North Western University, and is serving as Director of Cultural and Performing Arts at the New Jewish Community Center. In his position he will supervise all music, drama, dance and art activities at the Center: work with the Jewish Cultural Committee in the fleM of Jewish Adult Education and Lecture programs. Mark has always been involved with music. He studied voice at L«wis and Clark Junior High School and sang in Central High's A Cappella choir. He also sang in Beth El Synagogue's Junior choir and later in the adult choir. He now serves as the director of the Beth El Choir. Although he enjoys performing, and one of the highlights of his career was as the understudy to the lead singer In the Opera company in Denver, Mark decided to devote his talent to the teaching of music and specifically Jewish music. While in Chicago, he taught Jewish Music In synagogues, sang in Synagogue choirs and taught vocal music in a High School. He later was a vocal music teacher at a Junior and Senior High Prep school in Denver. ..What brings Mark ZalUn

JCC LUwary 'Has Everything' Omaha-Tbe Omaha Jewish Comipunity Center Library ii recognized as one of the rmest of its kind in the country and it is the hope ol the Librarian, Edythe Wolf, that with the opening ol the new JCC, the Library will enjoy full utilization by all members of the community. Edie Wolf came to Omaha in September 1972 when her husband, Martin took the position as Assistant Superintendant of Iowa Western Communities College in CouncU Bluffs. Originally from Philadelphia. Mrs. Wolf received her Bachelor degree from Temple University and a Masters degree in Library Science from Columbia University. New York. She has worked in all fields of Library work, directly with the public in the New York publicliBkary systems; in the acquisitions department at Michigan State University while" her husband worked towards his Doctorate; and after her children were bom, Edie held part-time jobs in high school libraries and in Synagogue libraries "to keep her hand in" as she puts it, "The JCC Library givea me the opportunity to put all my training and experience to full use." Iilrs. Wolf said. ^ "The library has a remarkable collection of Judaica," she e'kplained, "due to the efforts of the late Paul Veret, director of the Federation, whoee great love was the library. He bought everything that was available in the field of Judaica." According to Mrs. Wolf, the library ha> about IZ.OM books

The Lite'ary Committee, under the chairmanship of Morrie Hoffman, determines the the book twying policy of the Ubrary, and plans to extend the pamphlet and periodicals collection. "Up to now," Edie noted. "The Ubrar> has largely been used by non-Jewish professionals as a source of reference. I hope to be able to promote the library to laymen by speaking to kx:al groups and organizations. The new library will be very attractive with seats and tables, magazines and newspapers. It will adjoin the music room and the adult lounge of the Center."

As indicated, you may approach the catalog in several ways: by author, by title, or by subject, depending on what information you have. B. Information Given oo the Catalog Card The library uses the Unit Card System which means that for a book the same information is given on each card, varying only with the heading on the lop line. On each card you will find the Classification Number, or Call Number, in the upper left hand comer. This is information needed to find the book on the shelf. In addition, there is the author's name, the full title of the bock, the edition, names of people and organizations responsible for the book, the place and date of publication, name of the publisher, number of pages in the book and information about ilhistrations and bibliographies.
