Brotherhood Week By Boris Soaiar EdiMr-inchi*!. Emerltm, J.T.A.
Brotherhood week, which bos been obGerved annually throutfMNit the United SUtes for the last 40 yearspronMtlng amity among PMeatanls, Catholics and Jews—is being otwerved this week (Feb. lS-23) under circumstances when such amity Is most needed. This is tiK year when anttSamitic^ elements t« this ^ cteiitry; long tnen«ctl«^. are aU«ni|>ttng to ralw their ugly heads to exploit the economic dislocations in the country lor their nefarious anti-Jewish propaganda. They consider inflatton, unempkqrmenl and iiirnwinn as fertile ground for UMIBS to make a comeback to Uwiurfvoe of American life. .1. Thte la also the year when Arab agents in this country are openly seeking to Implant In the inlnds of Americans that Israel and American Jews have brought about the economic crisis in the country, and not the raising fourfold of the price of oil by the potentates of the Arab oil-producing countries. In intensifying their anti Jewish propaganda, American anti-Semites and Arab propagandists In this country are going hand-inhand. They are financed by Arab rulers who overnight became billionaires. Although the impact of their propaganda is insignificant at present, the danger exists that they will increase their activities now that they have come into big funds.

The Klan alone numbered six million members In 1924. With the advent of Nazism in Germany and Fascism In Italy, many pro-Nazi and proFascist groups also sprang up in the United States, all active In disseminating anil-Jewish propaganda. A list compiled In 1938 revealed tlie existence of atMxit 800 such groups In this country, each seeking lo exploit religious Intolerance. Their aim was not merely to turn Christlam against Jews, but Protestants against Catholics, and Catholics against Protestants. The U.S. government, fully aware ttaat dlaaentioa among religious grovps constituted a threat to natlofial unity, began to stimulate Joint action by Catholics, Protestants and Jews for the common good. The NCCJ became a great help to the govemment In this effort. The NCCJ exists entirely on voluntary contributions from Individuals and organizations. Its board of directors la made i4> ot nearly equal numliers of Protestants, Catholics and Jews.
WorM Mows Brief s Boycott Probe Asked
LiCA Protests Blaclcllst
NEW YORK (JTA) - AttempU by Arab Inleresta lo extend their antl-lsrael boycott to banking firms with Jewish members were denounced by two leading U.S. Senators who asked the Ford Administration to maiie a prompt investigation of the development.
PARIS, (JTA) - "Hie International League Against Racism and Antl-Semltlsm (UCA) published an appeal to the French govemment to intervene In the Arab bank boycott. It said, "No blacklist In France," adding that "West German and American banks under tite same pressures have refused to surimit and are supported by tbelr governments. What U the French government waiting lor to take an Indentical postiton?"
Sen. Jacob K JavlU (R.NY) and Sen. Harrison A. Williams Jr. (D.NJ) made the request in a letter to Treasury Secretary WUllam A. Simon. The Senators asked for a probe to determine whether the boycott bad caused religious discrimination against "Jewish or any other Americans" and wliettier any U .S. laws had been violated.
Taste Buds Next? LONDON (JTA) - Blooms, the famous London kosher caterers. Is among the reported I«0 companies on the Arab boycott offices "blacklist," although it Is difficult to understand how Bloom's—famous for salt beef and Vienna sausages—came to be counted among concerns allegedly "reinforcing the military and economic power of Israel."
Cooperation Reaffirmed GENEVA (JTA) - The United SUtes and the Soviet reafflnned ttieir determination to work together to achieve a peaceful solution In the Middle East. The dedaratkm was contained in a joint communique iaaaad Her following two days of talks between Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger and Soviet Foreign Minster Andrei Gromyko., Kissinger told newsmen there had been "differences" In the pmitlons of the two superpowers but the talks had been "fruitful" and In the Interest of world peace. He said that no date had been set for reconvening the Geneva peace conference. Soucres indicated tht Gromyko said the Soviet Union will neither help nor hinder Kissinger in his quest lor a partial agreement between Israel and Bgypt Both Kissinger and Gromyko agreed, ttiese sources said, tliat ultimately all the parties will have to return to the Geneva conference. In the Joint communique the two powers said they bellved Uie Geneva conference "should play an Important part In the estabUahment of a Just and lasting peace In the Middle East, and should resume iU work at an early date."
Meanwhile, banking source* bare reported that French Jew* are withdrawing their accounts from banks Involved In the Arab bank boycott. OfflciaU of Credit Lyonnals and the Banque Nationale de Paris, the two banka related to the Arab boycoU have aald privately that they have had an Increase in tbe number of accounte closed since the news of the boycott became public. The closed accounts could proi>ably be traced In a number of cases to a wish to proteat against the bank's activity with the Arab banks, the QfndaU believe.
Support Not Eroding MIAMI BEACH (JTA) - Sen. Richard SUne (D. Fla.) declared that there was no erosion of suppport of Israel in Congress. "I don't find any erosion of support for Israel nor any grousing In the Senate bacauae of our aid," he told some 1,500 delegates attending the opening sesskm of the ninth annual HIstadnrt Eoconomk: Conference for brael, sponsored by the Israel Hbrtadnil Foundation. Stone, who took office last month after being the first Jew elected to the Senate from Florida since the avU War, said Uie recent remarks by Sen. Charles H. Percy (Rvlll) about Israel were not an indication of erosion. "One statenMnt by one Senator Is not Indication of erosion," he said.
Annbassador Appointed LONDON (JTA) - Gideon Rafael, Israeli Ambassador to Britain, has been appointed first Israeli Ambassador to the Irish Republic, and he will combine the two assignments, residing In London and visiting Dublin periodically. The agreement of full diplomatic relations between the Irish Republic and Israel was reached last Dec. 12. It was then agreed that the diplomatic missions In both capitals should be at the ambassadorial level. The Irish have not yet announoed the name of their Amt>assador lo Israel.

Ptoon 't Worry-WorkI In ttie early. 19S0S, the ^eam of the handsome United Nations building on the east side of Manliattan Island in New Yorli symbolized to thousands of American schoolchildren the hope that now all the nations of the world — all the peoples of the world — would be working together to create a better existence for all. Through the various United Nations programs, there would no longer be other children starving for lack of food, living In squalor for lack of education and health care and in poverty for lack of know-how in farming, manufacturing, the building trades and so on. And the understanding was that we, as AmericaMi working together, contributing our money and expertiM, would help lift ail these nations to a healthy standard of living such as we were then enjoying. It was DC M AnwriciM — totaQjr braganOeM of wtatUMr we vera PoiWi AiMricsiiB, IfWi Americans, Gcnnan AniBricana, flpanlih Aniartcaaa, Swwilili or Riadan Americana; breganBeai of our being CtHMc, Prateatant of Jewiah Americana — who iradd mardi togetlMr to make Ibe new worid into a place where «wtyeoellyedtiappayaadiMialthftiHir.nwB.partia|ia. an ktjflUc view o( a "Heaven on Bartii". bat it WM inapMngnevaHMieaa. However much of that was renudned undone In the 1970s. America the Plentiful has found itself pressed on the one hand by the big Russian Bear seeking trade benefits to that country while being squeezed on the other by 20 Arab nations who would withhold the oil needed to run American machines so that America could continue to help the UN dream toward reality. And part of the Russian pressure is due to America's requirement that the Soviet Unkxi allow its Jewish and other minorities the freectom to leave that country. And part of the Arab pressure is due to those peoples' desire to remove from their midst the little, non-oil-producing but democratic nation of Israel, to which many of the Rnaalan Jews aspire. AU of which puts one body of Americans — Jewish Americans — in what is for some an uncomfortable position. They fhid themselves asked by other Americans where their loyalltles lay — In Annerica or Israel? The answer, as we see it, is amazingly simple — and it only involved the time-honored Jewish traditkm of answering a question with a question. llH qiMttan to the qneatloner is: irbare do YOUR kqrattles lay - with America, the worU's r«alast eumiiie of democratic beiiaf-to^cUao, or with the virtual dictatonMpa of Russia and the AiUbiandi? Because, if you are an American, then you believe in everyone working together for the betterment of all — and that includes supporting another country (Israel) which combines not only Jews from all over the world, tMit Arabs and many others, into a society that allows all to live in peace and harmony with respect for cultival differences. And if you are an American, you believe in helping those to help themselves — not in helping a handful of dictators to fill their moneybags to overflowing while their people starve in unwashed ignorance. The feeling here is, if all Americans would once again turn to the principles embodied in the United Nations — would once again work toward making this a tietter world — no one would have any reason to question tlie loyalties of their fellow citizens. They would be too tMisy for that.

HsrseaoUy ndmed from UJA'sRabblalcal Msalsa Is i«asl sod Irso. The more tbe world changes the more It remain* tne same. While Uito Is ganaraUy a valid observatioa about lUe, it U more nearly true about Jewfadi life. Shortly, we will be celebrating once more the Festival of Purim. The altuatkm of tbe Jews during tbe time of tbe Persian Empire has great similarity to the present condition of the Jews In various parts of the world and especially in Israel. The Jews in Israel an faced with great hostUlty by tbe part of the world hi which (bey reside. The parallels brtwaen Haman and hi* cohorts io many bi our modem world are all too dear.
toO^agtlerm But the most important change which has taken place since tlMie dtomal medieval days li the American Revolution. I am aware of the imperfections of American democracy and 1 am SMIsitive, 1 believe, to Uie itraaaei and strains wblcfa It has undergone and which will test It In the days immediately abeod. Yet, I am convinced that It to strong enough to protect and affirm the cIvU rights of aU Americans, indudtaig Jews. The Bill of Rights nowhere to my knowle(^ excludes tbe Jews from entoybig freedom of speech, assembly or the rttfit of petition. NoOtb* in the American political prooeas fOrlrid* b¥llviduato or graupa from actively worldng fOr causes which they believe to be morally right and in the best biterest of our country. On the conta'ary, Oito to the aatura of American democracy. How sbvtd It to for Jew* UiemselveB Io, In effect, accept the role of second das* citizens. The fact to, that no matter what we do or say, tbe antKSaoailes wiU not tove lu. Ibe fact is, tliat no matter wliat we do or say, Iboae who have been suborned or otberwiae persuaded by oil
taiteresU or oU dollars wUI fighl us. So we might Just as well proclabn as kwdly, but as lucMly as possible, where we stand and how we fed. I believe enough American* will agree with us to win tlie l>attle for what we believe to right for America as well as for Jews. If they do not, we will at least have acted like freemen. Let me emphasize that there are many dUferenI polnto of view held by American Jews on the problems of Iirael of Soviet Jewry or detente. But let them each spealt their piece without othere hushing them Xiy ratoing the fear that they will create a wave of antiSemitism which will engulf us aU. If I am wrong and our acting as free men will result bi discrimination and even vhilcnce agabist American Jews, we might Just as wdl know it now as later. But. I believe I am right. Most Americans wlU. I driafc. react to Jewish outspokt nnsss very much as dki the Quaker in the story I referred to at the tiegbmbig of thto column. It was back bi the IflSD's and he iiad never aeen an American Jew. He was very ctirious about them and an appolnhnent was arranged for Mm with Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wlae and some other Jews. When the meeUng wa* over, he was asked what he thought of Jews, now that he had met them, and replied, "Friend, they are Just like everybody else, only more so."

the month which was turned unto them from sorrow lo gladness, and from mourning Into a good iay; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness and of sending portions one to aiMther, and gifts to the poor." The fart is, the Jews were saved. This is the real nnessage of Purim, of Pesach, of Hanukah, of so many like events in Jewish history. The fact Is, we survived. The fad is, we are here. It Is not only a matter of faith; It Is a realistic lessop of Jewish history. I don't know whether It is a miracle. 1 don't know the reason why. I only know that Jews continue and Jews manage. This is not to say that we do not pay the price but, at least. It is to say that Jewish life continues to grow and to glow In spite of everything. Therefore, this year let us celebrate Purlm In its true spirit — by rememlserlng our deliverance and by sharing. This Is what it means to be Jewish on Purim 1975.

Gerda Klein is an extraordinarily sensitive woman, a vlctini of tbe Holocaust who has somehow managed lo transcend her brush with death and the tortures Inflicted upon her and thoae sbe loved by the Nazis with the spirit of an artist and the faith of a prophet Her book, "All But My Ufe," an account of her experience in Nazi-occupied Europe, is one of the great human documents to emerge from the terror and destruction of World War II. She somehow managed to survive as all around her there was death and madness. f^graad lirte dM«7 lor tiM v madiiae, wtlI to a tiMMMBd traaadles, fron makMiililaa. •xpesure, and inhuman •Ml^. amcamt the lanptatton to takebcr own Utoor to mccumb to Ifae bralality o( her tormentors, and Uvad to tsU her story to all the world. In the winter of 1945, as the Nazi empire began lo crumble before the advancing Allied farces, the 4,000 women inmates of her concentration camp were driven 1,000 miles eastward toward Czechoslovakia by the Gestapo. When the march finally ended, fewer than 200 remained alive. But her story Is not one of Unalloyed tragedy. Like Anne Frank, Gerda Klein was an unusually sensitive teenager during her k«g ordeal. Her story is told with eloquence and power. As Sloan Wilson said after reading her book. "Thia story left me more astonished than ever before at the magnificence humanity can oecaalonatly achieve."

"The social needs of Des Moines are taken care of through our Board of Governors, their bureaus and committees. As we wish to grow, our conununlty actkm and financial contributions will have to keep pace. "This not the case with Israel, however.

Rabbi Borowitz is a staunch but critical supporter of Israel. He believe; the old easy alliance between Judaism and Americanism has broken and that for Judaism's and America's sake American Jews need to be more Jewish, "The Masks Jews Wear" has been referred to aa 'a disturbing guide to self-education.' The program outlined for the weekend lectures and sessions should prove to be provocative and stimulating. RABBI BOROWITZ NEWEST BOOK "THE MASKS JEWS WEAR' WILL BE ON SALE AT THE KALLAH.

A nice young nuui, nonJewish, waa confiding to us that he waa "boptoig to play "Motel". It took roe Ave minutes to realise that he was not referring to some new Arthur Hailey opus like "Aliport" or "Hotel," - what be was talking about was "Fiddler on the Roof," and playing the role of Mottel. I kmked at my husband who waa already convulsed and said, "And It Isn't really funny; that will be exactly what will be wrong with It!!" Also, In my typically Jewish faahlon, I answer the question with a question, b there anyoae out there among us who hasn't writhed through some distasteful, strident version ol s "Jewlah mother"? If we are to have plays of the Nell Simon genre, Isn't It preferable to have them done with respect and affectkm (or our own people? All too often, unfortunately it takea the Jewish group to handle It that way - and even we have had some serkMS lapses.

Pool Rental Plan Gets Preliminary Nod OMAHA - At a special meeting of the Aquatics subcommittee, Feb. t, preliminary approval was given to a plan to rent the Jewish Community Center's SO-meter outdoor pool to Omaha WestsMe Swim Club (OW8C) and Metropolitan Omaha Swim Team (MOST) from June 8 to Aug. IS. Before the plan goes to the Center Board for final approval, it must be detarmined that such rental would not Interfere with Center member* use of the pool. Aquatics pirectorGary Javltz stated. The two groups would use itie pool from 6:30 to 10 a.m., Sunday through Friday and would not have access to the building. The Aquatics Department uses the indoor pool (or swimming lessons at those hours creating no conflict. The teams would be
responsible for any damage ihat might occur and would MHO ue responsiDle lor any cleaning needed while they were there. The Center staff is responsible (or cleaning the pool at night. For ewsc the total rental would be $1,IX)0 or 110 per swimmer, whichever is higher; the same terms would apply to MOST with a $500 minimum. Javltz said be hoped to be able to present the proposal to the Center Board at its next meeting.

It Is no secret that in the recent years — siiKe the SixDay War between the Arabs and Israel — the friendly relations that prevailed between Christian and Jewish clergymen In the 1960s has cooled off. Leaders of the Protestant and Catholic churches In this country have also fall^ to ei^ress any sympathy (or Israel after the Yom Kippur War. It ii anticipated that the Brotherhood Week this year, strengthened by the Vatican Guidelines, will bring about the full resumption of friendship that existed for years.

AARON LOPEZ
Today, if you go lo Newport, Riiode Island, you can visil ihc place called "Lopez Docii," named after Aaron Lopez, a power in Newport in the yean juil preceding (he Revolution. At Ihc time, Newport was descritKd as a.shipping center that "New York can never hope to rival..." And Aaron Lupez. owner or parl-owncr of many trans>Keanic and coastal trading ships, was une of the leading citizens of the port'i large Jewish community. Known (or religious liberalism, the Rhode Island city had IJccome the home o( a substantial number of capable, wcll-etlucaicd leva, among the most afnucnt in the Colonies. In 1752. from Portugal, came Aaron Lopez. •IK Sephardic Jew described later by Ez/a Stiles. President«( Yale University, as "a merchant of first eminence; for honor and extent of commerce probably surpassed by no merchant in America." In addilion. Lopez was known as an active force in cementing friendly relations between faiths. He earned the respect of Christians, as well as tews, and no ship ever left his diKk on cither's Sabbalh—Saturday or Sunday Lope/ himsci' laid ihe lirM torncrslime of Newport's famous Touro Synagogue (oldest in the U.S. and now a national shrine I in 1759.
During tlie War. the city suffered such heavy losses that it never recovered. Neither did Aaron Lopez who lost virtually all he had acquired during his many years o( successful trading. When attempting to return to Newport after independence was won. Lopez was tragically drowned in a freak accident. Ezra Stiles eulogized him with these words... ''He did business with the greatest ease and clearness; always carried abtiul him a sweetness of behavior, a calm urbanity, an afrceaIHe and unaffected politeness of manners." A fitting tribute to Aaron Lopez—one o( many Jewish-American patriots worthy of remembrance. K CERTIFIED KOSHEK
In strong sympathy wiih Revolutionary patriots. Lopez was forced lo flee Newport to Massachusetts when Ihc British attacked. GooJ lOthf

Omaha Blue Stars Win Regional Title The Jewish Community Center and Its Blue Stan team got off to a Oying sUrt in the liutlnwi of hoatlog baiketbaU Uurnaments this week when Omaha won the ehampiandiip of the Jewish WeUare Board Midwest Region Teen Tournament. The Blue Stars, led by the hot hands of Keith Wal2ak and BUI Cehn, cooled Mayer Kaplan JCC of Skokie, HI., S3«, to win the seven-team tourney in its maiden visit to Omaha. It was the first time an Omalia team had ever won the tourney, too. Other teams were from Community Centers in Skwx City, Iowa (third place); St. Louis (4th>; MUwaukee. WU. (5th); Chicago (Bernard Horwidi JCC, 6th); and MtnneapolU, Minn. Ite Bto ttan, a iMm cf U^ fdwoMsi iHqpi coMbad by BUI Stelt of oAtttviim Boys Town, opened the tomay by bDldti« ocr HlhraiAa*.»« and woo the flnala berth by dnppii« Ston City, »0, l> lita semlflnals. In the championship game Monday morning, Omaha saw a six-point Skokie burst in the final minute of the second quarter cut iU lead to 3»-36 at halftime. Wabak, a 6-foot senior, had hit .3 of his game-high 22 poinu in the first half to keep Omaha going, but it was teammate Cohn, also a 64 senior, who came to the rescue In the final quarter. Omaha first pressed the Skokie crew In the third quarter, scoring three quick tMSkets en route to a lead that at one time hit 13 poinU. Then Cohn sUrted pumping shots in from the side, bagging 10 of his 21 poinU In the last stanza. Jack Gregory's retMxmding was another factor In the title win. In the opening game against Milwaukee, Omaha first became victim, and then master, of the press. The short but quick Milwaukeeans cut Omaha's lead to one and then, continuing to press, took a 6-point lead at the end of the third period. But OmaJia employed its own press In the final period, scored six points In 20 seconds to shatter the Wisconsin team's composure and grabt>ed the victory. Omaha led throughout the semifinal game with Sioux City, holding an IS-point third quarter margin Sioux City attempted a fourth-quarter comeback, cutting the Blue Stars' lead to seven, but Cohn and his mates pulled It out to gain the title game. Omaha was waiting at mid-week to see where the natkmal flnals would be held Rochester, NY., had backed out. but Atlantic City, N.J., and Omaha had sent bids to be host city St Louis was awarded the team sportsmanship trophy.
