SÂŤoWwbf 3.1978

A History of Great Accomplishment Aa a Unw (or tbe Jewiata Individual to be introaiwctlve atwut himaelf and Ma acooinpliahinenia, Roah Haahanah is unauriMaaed. It la at this time - Ow (irat day of the Hebrew month Ttabri - that we begbi the Ten Days of Penitence which end with Yom Kippur, tlie Day of Atonement. On Rosh Hashanah. we celebrate (lie Day of Judgement, tbe day when tlte fate of each man and womlui Is inacrtbed in the Book of Life for the coming year. ThiB. we are deeply moved to reflect upon ourselves.

And because we realize that all Jews are brothers, members of the congregation of Israel no matter where they live, we are drawn to think of them at this time. In keeping with these thaiÂŤhU, the theme of this New Year issue of the Jewish Press for the year S736 combines two interrelated areas of Interest: those native-born Jewish men and women who have left our community to make their ttoipes and marks elsewhere, and those who came to this community as strangers but have been to us as though native-bom.

Yes, Omaha Is privileged to ha ve a history of Jews of great accomplishment. Wherever they have gone, they have carried with them tbe memory of a community

dedicated to the continuance of the good Jewish life Wherever they live, ttaelr martUiaabaen noteworthy as they recall with love and pride their early years, their Jewish education, the influence of this community on their own families. It has been possible to tell only a few of their stories.

And from the four comers of the world have come to us many outstanding individuals of Je%irish education and training who have enriched our community by their commitment to both Jewish and civic resfxinsibilitles. Again, only a few of these stories could be told In this Issue.

Both within and without the Omaha.Jewish community, all of these individuals have understood that Judaism commands the promotion of the welfare of one's feUowmen while it forbids indifference to the needs of the community.

In the months ahead, the Jewish Press will feature' Ihe acoHnplishinents and stories of other OMtstandlng individuals In both categories, all of whom by their life's style have said. "Our task Is to act, not only to enjoy; to change, not only to accept; to augment, not only to discover the glory of God."

THE WHITK IIOrSE wASiiiNtrroN

Mrs. Ford and I sand warmest greeting* to oar fellow Americans jjf the Jewish Faitli as you (Aserve the Hlg^ Holy Days.

This year adds a special dimension to fhe meaning of your observance. These solemn days are marked by a traditional exhortation to prayer and self-examination.

They mirror in a unique wray Hie general mood in our country as \(re afJproach the celebration of our National BiceAtiennial.

On the eve of the twro hxmdredfii year of our independence as a nation, we are joined as Annericans in a spirit of reflection, renewal and reaffirmation. This same spirit has united the Jewish people for centuries in the observance of Rosh Hashanah and Yovn Kippur.

Each of you can take deWp pride in tbe profound and positive influence of the Judaic heritage on our national life. The principles fixat gxdde you in your religious ' worship have also Inspired countless and enduring contributions of the. Jewish people to humanity and social justice. Your values are a great component of our quest for the brotherhood of man under the Fatherhood of God. The inspired leaderriiip and ^pedal sensitivity of Judaism in areas of humanitarian concern fill many brilliant chapters of America's history.

Mrs. Ford and I extend our sincere best wishes for the Jewish New Year. May it witness world progress toward fulfillment of die prophets' vision of peace and prosperity for all mankind.

Omaha Experiences Helped Joan to 'Street' NEW YORK - Two aspects of her days grawing up In Omaha have helped bring Joan MicMin Silver to her present status as writerdirector of the highly acclaimed motion picture "Hester Street" and also as one of the first American women to direct a feature film.

There were, she says, the many stories told by her father, the late Maurice MIcUin, oi his first days as a new Immigrant to the United States. And she recalled the trips to the Dundee Theater with Miss Bocell. her Prencb teacher, and her classmates to see the great French films of the day.

"He had very vivid memories of the whole thing," Mrs. Silver recalls o( her father's stories. "He remembered not only some of the comical instances but also the feelings, of humiliation, confusion and bewilderment.

He remembered the boat trip very vividly — he was 12 when he Immigrated, so he had the kinds of memories thai never leave you.

"Sliiee that time, I've tittad to 10 many peoiile «t» wnt timii^ that cqwrim ad It secmi that, DO naltar «lMrt happened In dHtr Um rtM thn, that wiea ««]r rifui eipertaaoe aiHl one Ihey all, seem to mMabar ncjr vtvkay."

Fascinated by the lUriei

and the -whole concept of uprooting yourself in one land and making your way in another." she came across a novella. "YeU', by Abraham Cahan. editor of The JewMi Daily PVirward newspaper.

She "just loved the story", wanted to explore the world of the immigrant and, further stimulated by classic photographs of the Lower East Side of New York, she made "Hester Street", her tirct fuU-length feature film.

Basically, "Hester Street", set on the Lower East Side In 1896, is the slor> of two young Russian-Jewish immigrants in conflict because of aarimllatlon. The wife, GiU. portrayed by Carol Kane, Is a bewildered giri who is unaUe to Americanize herself fast enough to suit her husband.

Jake, played by Steven Keats.

Jake comes to America first and by the time he brinfi his wife and young son (Paul Freedman) to America, he has already gotten a Job in a iweallbop: a two-room flat on Hester Street; a shy and embittered young border named Bernstein iMel Howard) and a beautiful and ambitious immigrant girlfriend, Mamie (Dorrie Kavanaughi.

GiU tries to learn English and change her oid-country ways and her ^ipearance to fit in with the American style of the day, but it's too little, too late. Jake continues to

chase Mamie because GitI it evervthinghe's trying to leave behind But uaoxepectedly, the

mudMMiUied Md reeded OW fladi a way ID be a vlctar In•taad of a viettm. Sbe, too, dtooovcra AflMrtoa.

At the Cannes Film Featival where the fikn was shown this past May. it won raves.

Said Rex Aeed bi the New Yort IMiy Niwi, "Filmed in 34 days for $400,000. a mere. fraction of the cost of most of the awful films in Cannes, -Hester Sti«et' has tnore humor, charm and decency than most bigbudgcl ifollywood films ... A fine film with a heart from an Important new feminist director..

Charles Champlin. Lea AacBlaa Ttawe: "For me the pleasantest discovery of this year's festival.. .Ms, Silver's film 0Des beyond UM particulars to touch the wtNie American immigrant experience, which is to say that It touches all of us at some pbint In our lives and memories. It is a wise, warm, funny and endearing film."

Furtliermore. befoi« it gst to Cannes, It (b«w "heartfelt cheers and afipiauae" at the Dallas Film Pesthral. according to an article in Satnrdcy Review, The film was dipped into the program at Dallas when Joan and her husband. Rafael Silver, had trouble getting major companies to dlstriiMite it. Since DaOai. oujor agents have been trying to sign Mrs. Silver.

Joan fognd the Cahan stay while reaearcUng a fllm called "The launlgraat Exsfae wrote aboot a Betlanal PoUACaihaik (aafdly that came to Amertca In 1M9. Sbe wrote and dtractad that UBi. When she staried "Heater Street", she couldn't get any studio backing. Executives told her that, "Women directors are one more proSTem we don't need." Her husband, a successful real estate developer from Cleveland, secured the financing.

She was, abe aakl particularly interested in a genre film such as is most often made In Europe — '-that's a sori of point ofviett' about life where everything that's funny Is a Httle sad and everything that's sad is a little funny ''

II is in these two areas athal Dr Ronald A. Feldman hopes to provide major Im-. provemenis over the coming years.

The camp in 'part helped emotionally disturbed youngters and the 4)reprofessional work experiences Ron had there helped chart his career Those experiences were, he said, his "Tirst in-depth exposure to social work and social service personnel and my first in-depth atlempl to apply social work principles lo help these youngsters."

He saw kids with severe problems being helped, he said, and lie saw that he could help. He also saw what a positive environment can do for a youngster and so was encouraged lo go on for pFOfessional training.

Altliough not a very religious person, he feels the basic Jewish iderttily is gained through "our acting out Ihe values and Ireedoms of expression and individuality and. through practice of individual rights and through responsibility to community " In Ihe latter - responsiblHty to communlly - lies much of what Roh Feldman Is

They should be responsive to constructive criticism and be citizens of the worid.

Besides developing themselves Into well-rounded individuals, he would want them lo have a reputation for honesty and integrity -

"qualities Ihe world Is now said. Boys Town, thro«4^ its recognizing the importance already eslablli^ed of" - and "to Identify* with reputation for thorouglttess. will make possible long Urm Judaism.

OMAHA - A onetime political science student who loat a "political fight" in an office ;- is now reporting to tlie world the everyday > intenuittanal polHica of Dr. Henry Klisinger.

• US. Secretary of SUte. The former student Is ex-Omahan Kenneth Freed who. at age 37. Is one of the two newsmen covering the U.S. State Department ' for the Associated Press.

His position, which finds him often Joining (, the fabled Dr Kissinger on his worldwide [ shuttlef - a word Incidentally, which Freed - was the first to use In that connection - is admittedly a long way away.lrom the Central High School student who was leader of the dance band and actively involved irt music. ne aoo of tiw laie flboti mad and Fmd vt Sn DIeft. out., ted Maded lo m^ law Ha earaar.

However, he then entered the University of Oklahoma graduate school to study political ' science. He intended to earn a doctorate but p In 1963 he ran out of money. i "I never had had any idea of being in; vol ved. I was just casting about. trying to stay i out of the Army I stayed in school until I ; couldn't afford it.

"In theory. I guess. I would always be I 'involved', then go off and drink a six-pack of ': beer in the woods." he says in humorous sell• deprecation That summer of 1963. he was''looking (or something to do " He wandered into the : Oklahoma City office of the AP "just as a flyer". After showing an aptitude for the work ; via the news service's battery of tests, he . wound up working in ChaHestoa West 'Virginia. After 2'^ years there doing sports and covering the state legislature. Ken was i assigned to the general news desk of AP in 'i New York, becoming the supervisor i responsible (or the nighlside national wire. ':'- He«enltoWariilagi«i,D.C.,iDlhe«rlac r o( IMi aa nl^ aem edttar. a poaUoB teMd imtJl 1S71. "I hat a political 0^ dun aad ; had to leave the de*.

• And so Kenny Freed from Omaha Joined f anotlier young Jewish newsman. Barry Sch' weld, in reporting to the world (he work of : then-Secretary of State William Rogen and this fast-rising young assistant, Henry • Kissinger. ^ With ftogers. says Ken, "tUnge were pretty TUm by and large." Rogen leemed to prefer

running the bureaucraqr lo engaging a lot of travel Freed found himself traveUng to Latin America and to Ihe Pirii Peace Conference both with and without Rogers. "I qient« lot of time writing about how VS. ftMelvi policy was made, rather that what it was. 1 covered Vietnam as you would any itoiy. We did more peraonallty stories a lot of the time."

All that changed when Kissinger became chief in August, 1173. From then on. Ken Freed was on the move, to Vietnam, to the Middle East "1 don't know how many miles I've traveled since then. I've been to the MIddte Bast several times, to Europe, the Far East (China), the Soviet Union. It's been magnificent."

Althoi^ be W88 nat hi the MhMa Beat to cover the Klaelnger (aUure atvy iMt Mvch, be did go with Preddent Nino to tbe area.

"Hut was the watenbad that itartad the change In Ameticaa poiley toward piahtag hard ior Arab eoqiieratioB,*' Ken tt^ed. The reception Niaon received (ron the Araba "showed be coidd work with the Arabs and It Ibmbadto toadMi«e to tbe (IMM ) peroaptloo loerird larael' "I'm not one to say they are selUng Israel out, but It meant that there bad to be some kind of change." He said some "very tough' decisions" have had to be made "and Israel Is not going to come out In Ihe way its leaders would like It lo. But H's not going to be sold downihe river by the United States. There is. though, a terrific amount of politics Involved."

Freed said he believes Kissinger "has made it clear In conferences" that "the Israeli position has got lo be more flexible.

"Borders don't make lor security The most Important security is to make It not worthwhile to ever fight again." Israel and the Arabs should build diplomatic aad business rebitkNuMps and interdependencies for the benefit of all. he Indicated.

Freed should be quite at ^lome covering Kissinger, himself a former political science professor. "My Md in political science was theory, so I can see Kiialoger's theories. But other people don't always cooperate with them.

"ThareiaartwBgdari>«<'Mrtpnl«HnB" taiOr. K'awoft. "Bekaoaalpalalara^te only way TCU can )>dfB Mm la bjr the retnlta.

"I don't know what to think of him. He's brilliant, tremendously innovative, and has made tremendous improvements in ttie way U.S. (orelpi policy is being conducted," Kenny says. " But Uie most alarming thing Is Kissinger's penchant for secrecy. Ha worn with only a handful of people. Kiasinger's nature is to be aecretive and ibe system aa it eaisu now. or at least did until a couple ot years ago, was very usable by aogaoooe Uke that."

Key to Success: Get A Good Problem But Don't Tell Saul >. NEW YORK-Pratesaor John Oolan o( the ' University of Minaeaota Department of PhlloMphy perhaps inadvertently summed up the Impact whidi Saul Kripke liaalud on the world of philosophy when he r«paaded kindly to a reporter's rather naive quetUon regarding why the former Omaban is not "Doctor Saul Kripice" "He is the finest phUosopher in the Englistispeaking world today," said Prof. Dolan. a longUme friend of Saul's. "Who would be his doctoral diasatatkm advl«ir?"

At 34 years of age. thraon of Rabbi and Mrs Myer S. Kripke of Omaha ranks as one of the most impwtant mathematically oriented phik>sopher8 of the current century.

"Ourni^eet'iOHgioiBi" is the way RotMrt Noritt. a m pnlmar at Harrart W»«iJty. dsaulwd Prof. Kiipka in a UWNI'MUOB wtth When Prof. Dolan took his first job, which : was wtth the phikMophy department at ' llassachusetu Institute ofTeeliMiogy, "I was toid that the first rule for sucoeaa in pWkMophy is 'get yourself a good problem and tiien don't let Saul hear about It.' Saul Kripke will solve immensely complicated problems off the top of bis head," says Dolan.

The words "brilliant" and "genius" are ' perhaps the best available to describe Saul Kr^, who while a student at Central High was making fundamental discoveries in the field of modal loglc-whlch deals with possibility and impossibility factorsdiscoveries which are still respected today.

He also had a atning sense of Tudakah-chartty-by that time: Dorothy fCripke recounts bow her son preferred sending^ the savings hi tya dock bank (about $5) to help the poorer Jews in Palestine and in Europe, rather than buy an electric train set for himself.

When be was hi grade achool, he was reading upperdaat aOtft textbooks. By fourth grade, he was lonnulatiafl algebraic equatkMis. In the sixth grade, he refused lb taka a parsonality test because he didn't like the queaUons, which he felt were unfair One question, for example, was: Is the worid getting to be a better place?

Is one of the youngest of Brown's 18 history department professors "The particular focus I have puts me in touch with real people, w It's mudi dUieraat from other history.

That, too. Is something new in temts of historical research," said Dr. Chudacoff 'The national slogan 'of social historians these days, is 'History From the Bottom Up." In other words, social -historians will study such things as family, neighborhood and community movement and groutb or decline as a way of discerning causes for change It is a sort of "grass-roots" approach to the larger events of history, such as wars and colonizations.

"Our studies sre basically applicable in first of all identifying actual patterns of historical behavior in the past and thus clearing up any misconceptions." explained Dr Chudacoff We ofteh show ttte many ways things haven't changed much We basicMly provide a liind of background to sho«' in oitr picsenl-day society how we've gotten where we've gotten.

"My field is very interesting because we live In a very heavily urbanized society and tt)at's wtiere my major focus is.

That study showed the "ethnic neighborhood consisted more of tawtilutions and businesses than residences, because the people who lived there moved out rapidly, with their places taken by people of the same background. That negated the idea of a ghetto being a place you don't escape from." he said SpedflGafly, lie stnUediiM North Mdi Street ann, Itadlng that larfe eonesntntiens o( Jewish families moved ban there about two or Une years altir aiiivlugi However, tMr bnrineaes and synsfognes remained, "giving the Impression there was a large Howard has found that "the concept of the ghetto doesn't apply to while ethnic groups in America, but that it does apply to Jews In Europe and to blacks and Mexicans In America."

His studies have Indicated strongly that "the way that people changed their resid-' ence was a reflection of their own aims and aspirations ...

Patterns of movement seein a' reflection of personal and family aspirations. ' "lliere is no real single thesis there, except the fact even a hundred years ago people were at least as mobile as today. We tend to think people today are more mobile because of all the car* and roads, but that's not true."

Research into the historical' aspects of individual families Is "quite new to historical research because it was left to the sociologists before " Now that social histmians employ computers to rapidly assemble large amounts of quantitative information, such as that gleaned from dty, directories and real esUte records, much more is possible in the field than ever before. Dr. Chudacoff indicated.

' This body, on which the enlightened world pinned such g^eat hopes af(er the destruction wrought by World War II, has baen transformed into a voting machine bereft of conscience and i logic.

Since Israel joined the UN. as State No SO, 81 additional -' stales, for the greater part Afro-Asiatic, have been admitted to membership. Consequently, (our new voting blocs have crystallized: the Afro-Asian bloc - 63 voles: the Latin Woe (which once held decisive power) - 23 votes: the Western bloc (Which is far from being monolithic) - IS votes, and the Soviet bloc(whichismonallduc)-lIvates.

The Afro-Asian bkx and the Soviet Uoc could actually decide, if (hey wished, that every leailon of the Anembly open with a laudamus to Idi Amin. or that all members of the Assembly should eat (wo coconu(s a day.

It is no coincidence (hat ever since the decision was taken about the establishment of the State of Israel amfUie resolulion passed in 1961 recognizing Israel's right to navigation in the Suez Canal, there has been not even one indirect resolution that can be described as pro-Israel. The Assembly was not even capable of passing a resolution calling upon the parties to the conflict to conclude a peace. yigalABoBcartahi<ydldBOtaii^yrHaah>iihsaaMtolh» t that whQte parar^ta hi <t» UJ4.

Through her threats of war and the steps taken (or our nispension from the Assembly, Egypt hopes to regain the time preKure (actor and to introduce another element o( "return" (or the "little bit o( peace" thai Israel ao adamantly demands.

Egypt will agree to remove the goat call "expulsion from the u.N.'.iflsraelcedesmoreareasandmuchmorequlckly Clearly, therefore, the effect of the new threat is dependent on how seriously Israel takes this move The more it gets excited and the mora (ear It ihowi, the easier it will lie to employ this weapon-Ifnot this year, then the year after This will become a permanent weapon against Israel if shesiiouldshowfearof it.

In Dr. London's first book, •The Modes and Morals of Psychotherapy", published In 19M by Holt. (Unehart and Winston, he says that "psychology is tryiog to ac. complish for modem people a rale that they traditkmally aaoiht hi religion." ^"Psychology has taken over

While It takes something of an emotional commitment to be active in religion, "1 think that Judaism requires less of a stretch of one's Ideokiglcal Imaglnallon than Christianity does. Judaism Is a more rational religion than most other reilgkms, certainly than most Christian religions; consequently I think it takes more of a bcfaavkiral oommltment to be bivolved in Judaism and far less of a kind of Irrational emotional commitment than would be true o( others."

"We were always made to feel a great pride in our national heritage, as well as a personal obligation to leem It, to be a part of it, to continue It." Sylvia, who goes by her Hebrew n^me Tsvia, relates her father's "enthusiasm (for Palestine) and Jewish patriotiam only grew as the years went by. He instilled it lnu»."

Tsvia says she was also heavily Influenced by "my beloved Hebrew teacher, Mr. Jitdah Wdfson. He was ahnost as much a father to me as my own dear one. And from a very early age, I realized that he was a walking encyclopedia of Jewish history and folklore. At that time, he was an unappreciated rarity In Omaha. He finally resigned a ridicukMs position and found .amployment in Chicago."

Mrs. Doron. who graduated Central High School in 1961 as a National Honors Society winner, was offered a fouryear scholarship to Omaha University and also a partial scholarship and boarding aid from Barnard College In New York City, i She chose Barnard and, at the same time, the Jewish Theotogical Seminary in New York. She led both after two years.

Looking back, she feels it was "a negative Jewish experience that made me leave Omaha in the first place."

"In medicine, you see it all the time. I hale to indict my own profesakm. but it's true.

Cohesion of Jewish Community Impresses Neiw Lay Leader at Offutt ADO RKBUQ PBUI

BELLEVUE, Neb.-Burt Zlskind hasn't been home for the High Holy Days In eight years. But. happily enough, he's feeling more "at home" here than ever before.

Since 1967. when he left hit native Alexandria, Va., to 0» to college, he has been what ght be called the modern, young, devoted American yoi wandering Jew, who has to make his home—particularly his "Jewish horae"-wbere he finds It "I've generally been faced with having not too many Jews around me. So I've tried to create my own sense of conynunlty by taking the Initiattve and leading, or tiyiagtoleMl,"he8aid.

"I don't cone tmo an especially religious background, but I was fortunate that my folks told me to sUt* with It (Hebrew high school studies I after my Bar MItvah and I'm glad I did.

"It's given me something of a iifekxig value because where inUe (organized JewiA activity) exists. I've Ibuad I can create my own tievra" (Hebrew for "community").

To illustrate. U. Zlskind points out that be led Hillel House activities and services for both students and community residents at both Aliegtimy College and at tlie University of Virginia.

Pi

Both schools were in towns (Meadville, iPa., and Charlottesville, Va., respectively) with mlnUcule Jewish populations.

Sheppard Air Base in Wichita FalU, Tex. Burt's first duty stop in the Air Force, provided something of a change. The base had a Jewish chaplain, a Reform Rabbi named Howard Zyskind (no relation). It became, jokes Burt, a "Zyskind and Ziskind Production" when Burt ac

U. ZiaklHl cowkidi Frtdiy id^ MTlow In OflUtt'i baauUful Capehart CbipiL (JP FMabgrAIKniigr) cepted the invitatkm to sing Koi Nidre on Yom Kippur last year.

But the transfer to Offutt Air Base here has been the best move in those eight years for Burt Ziskind. He's found himself h) a larger Jewish community and, more importantly to him. a cohesive Jewish community.

Omaha and its threcT

Two reroalo jjutd&n NEW YORK - Last year, for the fh^ time, the Nattonal Jewish Welfare Board — tlie U.S.-government accredited agency for serving Jewish military personnel - approved women to serve as Jewish military leaders.

Two of tlie most effective of tliese lay leaders are or wert

statk)ned in Greece - U S. Air force Cap(. Ellen S. Ptiilpott. a nurse stationed at the Iraklion Air Statioa on Crete who is a former Israeli Ubbutnik, and US. Amy Reserve Capl.

Karen Kay Philips, who served in Athens but has since made Aliyah with her husband. ^

synagiguei Is like Alexandria with Its three, says Burt. But Alexandria is part of the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area which has about 20 synagogues altogether and. tMcause of the area's size. It latdcs cohesion.

"What I lUe about Omaha Is, there Is a feeling of community. . . Here the (Jewish) community U so cohesive. It Is able to exert an Influence oat of all proportion to Its sbe. from Mayor Zorinsky on down. Its taOuence is In much greater pnportkjn than the number (of Jews) wouid indicate."

The friendUiKM of the people and the new Mends he's gained have also Impressed him.

ZiaUnd, who tovet to sing and CAjoyt laadlng reUgk)ut services (be did that for the Jewish Community Center's Young Adult tingles group), took over last roooth as lay leader of Offutt's approximately 70-member Jewish community. He succeeds Capt. Marshall Freedman, who has left the military.

He's hoping to increase the Offutt community's participation in Jewish activities by employing the publicity know-how he acquired as editor of his college newspaper—he plans to produce his own newsletter and to make good use of the base's exIsdBg publications to promote his programs.

"We've got a lot of fine equipment, space and money" with which t» conduct a Jewish program at Offutt, "but we lack people (interested in the congregation).

We have a beautififl big Capehart Chapel, but only 10 show up for tbe services.

"It's a problem you find anyplace. Jews assimilate, Just sort of drop away from religion, except forafew."

He'd also like to work with Rabbi Daniel Bretlauer. the new Jewish studies tantructor at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, in getting a HUM established on the campus.

Burt, who earned his master's degree in hospital administration at the University of Virginia, now supervises IS people in the insurance and claims work at the base hospital. Ht enjoys , h)s rcsponslbnuies and plans to stay In the bospttal admlnistratkm fMd. CoincldentaUy, it was a former Omahan who Influenced LI. Zldclnd to enter that field. WUUeat Allegheny College, Burt was very Impressed by a talk on health Insurance presented at Uie campus by one Herbert Denenfaerg, who was then Pennsylvania's commissk)ner of Insurance.

Burt corresponded with Denenberg's office and got some valuable guidance about getting into hospital admhilstration.

- So, in perhaps anoUier sense, Burt Ziskbid isn't so far from home now, either.

He's never forvitten it Here are tiis leelingc: "The thing that's most amazing alwut Omaha is that we who had not t>een tx>m here were welcomed into the comraunlty.

Monaaee came to Omaha as an officer in the U.S Air Force and decided to stay when be retired at Sl'as a major in I9SS ibe's since been made Ueuienast coionei.)

Sinee that time. Chuck Moaasee has definitely done things.

He has risen from storeplanning engineer far the Hinky Diaky supermarket chain to pre^dent of the firm—American Community Stores Corporation—which operates its 48 outlets In Nebraska. Iowa and South Oakata. ASCS, in turn, U owned by the CuUum Oomoanies of Dallas, Tex., and Moaasee is on Culhmi's board of directors.

In Omaha's*Jewish community, he is a vice president of the Jewish Federation, is immediate past chairman of the Federation's I'^-year-old. $4-million-pIus Comnuinity Center, has ^een active in Philanthropies drives and has been chairman of the^ Federation's Jewish Press and Camp Esther K. Newman committees. He is currently a trustee of Temple Israel, haying served as board secretary. He is also on the board of fhe National CouncU of Christians and Jews.

But Monasee will tell you be

only joins a group if he feA he can contribute.

To him, the idea of "doing aoaiething" stems from the Hebrew word "MItzvot"— "good deed" "Notxxly Mfea yoa to do thsae tU^p. The oaomuBlty doeait a* you to do It Yoa do It becauae yoa think you ihoulddolt" Twins Chailes and Ted Monatee were bom to jeweler Sam H. and Phyllis Kresham Monasee on April 29, 1924 in Indiana. The family then moved to Montgomery, Ala., a community about the size of Lincoln, Neb. Aa Chuck recalls it, Montgomery's Jewish community was not very traditionally oriented. "While my family was not obaervant, they were oomntttadlews.. .Thiy were Reform, had been for a couple of generations. Tbey were 'Jewish, had Jewish friends and were very much part of tiM Jewish community," he recalls.

In background, Montaet Is similar to FYank Lautmberg. bead of a large computer firm In New Jersey who is also now president of the United Jewish Appeal. Like Lautenberg, Monasee was noUSar MItzvah as a youth, nor was he Coo-

ChariesA, Monasee:

Monasee sees a definite need for-and feels we should be concerned aboutcontributing to society wherever possible. "It's a sense of duty-l call it The MiUvot Approach^ whkfa I think Is centra] to Reform Judaism.

"It isnt Just what you do In the community.. .But I think if there's anything that I would be known for it Is the fact that I am active In the community and that basic idea comes there, a basic sense of duty that I feel goes back to a religtous responsibility."

Although Chuck participates In religious observances, he feeU religious responsibility comes out "in the way you conduct yourself with respect to other people.

It's your responsibility to other people. \oa worship God by doing what's right, not by prayer alone."

The JCC Study Group ODveied evsryone tram pf^ BdMMd to senior citlian.

He met and ^nairied

Lyra Ann Halper of Dallas while taking pilot's training in that Texas City. Her fsmily was also Reform and bad a strong religious commitment and strong Identification with the Jewish community, Monasee said. Today, the Monasees have two daughters—Pam, a junkir at Emory College in Atlanta, and Lisa, a junior high student.

While stationed at Strategic Air Command headquarters at Offult. the Motiatees Uved in Omaha They bad some old friends here, met new ones, joined Temple Israel and Highland Country Qub and became part of the community.

Chuck first worked in PhOanthropies. "Of course, in the process o( selling others, you sell youradf," be says today, "and I conthwed to fed that there was a kit that shoukl happen in this coihnujnity."

Monasee headed the JCC Study Group, which had sto ^committees, many subcommittees and some 270 Individuals aU tolled who wooted to detomlne the needs and prtofWes of the proposed Center.

Monasee admits he's "happy when I'm buikUng. I like to have thfaigs goii^ oa" But physical coostructhm Is not all of it by a long shot.

The Center Is where a person practices bis synagogue lessons. Chuck feelsHMaans such as "llvtaig together, havtaig a demonstrable Interest In things Jewish, UUngs that make us distinctive from other Americans." It's also the place where «« support our Jewish organiutions snd house them;' s place for meethigs, the theater, the library and the nursery school-thbigs deemed Important that would not exist were it not for the center.

Membership, he saki, helps people identify with the Center and thus with the Jewish' community-It provides a chance for puriioaeful, intentional identlficatkin.

As for those who think the JCC Is too large: "The place isn't big because it's built for too many people. The place is big because It offers all of the facilities the people want ... What we got is a Community Center that has the range of activity."

Neb., the answer is yes. As a reporterphotographer of Omaha's KETV Televisioa Channel 7. Gary feels he definitely can make a contribution to the city.

"As a newsman, you have the obligation to get involved in your story, and when people tee your finished product, you are helping them to understand aomething and to inform them so they can make better decisions," Gary said.

"What the public tees is not my opinion or decisions, but a two-sided factual presentation --"b catteto rituMtM, It ts a nyoftw's rapooBMUty to ftt ta«al*id to • poM wbm be iMkB a cta^e In Iht qnte-Witar|ilt, aa aiiexaaipl*.

Gary's desire to become involved in happentagi. and to seek change where change is neoeaiary. goes ttacfc. be leeb, to his Jewish upbringing. "In Norfolk, there were only atMMt four Jewish families." he said. "My father used to teach us Het>rew in the basement on Sundays, and for religious services we would travel to Mt Sinai Temple hi Sioux Oty.

Dr. Paul Kutler of NASA:

About Slow Computers^ Space Shuttle Re-Entry And Other Such Things SUNNYVALE, CalK. - The next time you pick up your little pocket computer and watch it work out a tricky mathematical problem in a fantastic second or twa think of Dr Paul Kutler The former Omahan, an award-winning research Kientist. works with big. fkxNT-model type computers capable of doing far more compiex problems in almost the same amount of time. But. laments the Iowa State University graduate, his machines are too slow His explanation gives you a glimpse into the nature of his work - research for Uie National Aeronautics and Space Administration i NASA i which invol^ifH mind-boggling. compiex calculations made necessary as man pushes back the frontier of space. II also gives you a feeling of awe — when you realize how far man has come and how far he may go - and how quickly.

"Computer potential -is unlimited," uyi Dr. KntUr, but meardi iciwitliU oAen cnmplahi that tnfty'i computm are too dow and dont have enou|b room tor ilange o( neftMary hifcirmatlw, ar data.

Then Dr. Kutler throws a mind-bending thought in a malter-of-faci way: "Of course, the speed of a computer Is wmwihal limited by the speed of light But they are coming up with new computer designs such as linking computers together to overcome these lacks.

"For example, there's the Iliac IV that's out now. It's composed of M independent comiMtefs that are linked tofetiwr. That gives you a factor of 64 speed in your computer.

"Now, that is just a single array 1 f they can I inkiip other computers, we might be able to solve three-(ttmensional problems more quickly. "

The aon of Mr. and Mrs. Morris E. Kutler has always been interested in flying (he got a pikH's license while in Mgb school) and Is thrilled he's getting paid for work he enjoys. "I couldn't find a better Job. a more enioyable Job, than what I have now I'm very fortunate to have found work In the fiekl in which I got my PhD."

And so if goes tai the highspeed world of science and technology, particularly computer techiwlogy which must provide Paul Kutler and his colleagues with the toois they need.

The research dealt with "an anti-ballistic missle system In which the government has invested qtdte a Mof money.'' said Paul.

But going from wind tunnel to camputxr involves a kH of figuring. First, says Dr. Kutler, you have to have "the 'mathematical equations that describe the problems. Then you- have to so^ve the equations using numerical algorithms" (I.Y., a set^of rules thai must be folkiwed to solve a problem).

It wUI probably be the world's first reusable space vehicle - "H flics tike an airplane," explafais Dr. Kutler. It would be launched by a solid propellant rocket but also have its own engines with which to atuin orbit-."

The vehicle will prove economical because It will have a large bay for hauling or repairing satellites, or trawporting scientists to and from work projects.

Researchers are trying to simulate the flow field that results when the space shuttle enters the earth's atmosphere. "There's a lot of heat generated and II requires

By BabMSMaagrH. Brooks Tenpie Israel, Omaiia Many o( us periodically find momenta to ponder our lives; what our role lt\ lite should be, the hope to cope with our problems, whert we have been and whither we are destined.

I suspect that, more than In many other periods within rsooliection, .today's worid suggests more of insecurity and change than most. The moral and ethical value* by which we customarily gauged our lives have radically been challenged. Thoae of Uls who have passed our youth both lament and fear the implications of such challenges. We look for rootage, for something permanent, for stability amUssurance.

We will not find It! J>'or the essence of life is change and our duty. Indeed our only alternative, is lo direct change into ethical and wtMlesome directions.

Roab Hashdnali Is so much mors than a New Yesr that I often wMi we did not emn use Uw Uteral Bi^Ush traaslatta. It Is a time of renewal, roflectisB, redlredlon. At least, It can be. At moat, tt remtads OS that the survival of Judaism has been the nmarkaUe capad^ of the Jewish PHple for flexibility.

factionalized communities. At times we have even come close to destroying ourselves! But we live.

Why? Because despite enormous dianges In Jewish life tliere is.the changeless. However conceived, there haj always been a changeless continuity in JewishJife that speaks to us of the Eternal, the ultimate value of the pursuit of truth and goodness, Peacfe and the dignity of all human life. Sometimes we come closer than at otliers.

If Rosh Hashanah Is to have any meaning at all for me, I would plead for that kind of prayeriul contemplation that would help us to distinguish between the need for change and the neeesaity for relationship with the Changeless.

I recall the story of the rabbi In the market place who called all his fellow townsmen together for a startling announcement and wtien they were assembled he cried out: "God Lives!"

So my wish and prayer for one and all is tiiat our High Holidays bring us lo the consciousness that God lives, that there is a moral Torah, some changeless truths by which we can live and that amidst a much too amoral society we can represent decency and honor in a way no ottiers can because we are deliberate Jews.

Hoping for A Warm Rosh Hashanah

ROSH HASHANAH

By BabU Ahrahsffl EtsnaMD B'nai Jacob Adas Yeriaaon Our sages of the Talmud have said: "If Rosh Hashanah is a warm day, the whole year will be on the warm side. If it is a cool day, the whole year will heoBlhecoolaMe." The words "warm" and "cool" cannot be construed to mean high and low temperature in the physical sense.

Undoubtedly, our sages had bi mind the spiritual aanse and what thqr said Is very dear.

If we usher in the day of Rosh Hashanah with enthusiasm and worship with devotion, the solemnity and

religious fervor will warm our hearts throughout the year, but If we go to the synagogue with apathy and are cool and Indifferent to the prayers, not much of inspiration can be expected to be carried home.

Let us try to usher in the day o( Rosh Hashanah with a determination, to dedicate ourselves to the service of God. Let us try to understand the prayers and hymns, and the solemnity and high spirit of Rosh Hashanah will be with us for many months, warming our hearts and drawtaig us to the synagogue. r take this opporiunity Uy convey my best wishes for a

Electricity is not part of the energy problemit's part of the solution.

Oil and gas are In short supply. Both are irreplaceable in transportation, in the production of fertilizers, plastics, chemical products, and m agriculture.

OPPD has reduced its dependence on this nation's critical supplies of oil and gas by using nuclear fuel and coal to generate electricity.

Both are in plentiful supply.

Thanks to long-established policies of plan ning and building for the future, OPPD now has

1.411.000 kilowatts of capacity and is adding 575.000 kilowatts at Nebraska City in 1979 and 1.150,000 kilowatts at the Fort Calhoun Station in 1983. OPPD has plenty of electricity for its customers.

More and more people are using electricity in place of scarce fuels...for space heating, for instance. OPPD encourages the study of electricity as a substitute for gas and oil- as a practical solution to many energy problems.

QuaenoH:

ANSWER: "Selichoth" are penitentialprayers whose themes seek forgiveness from the Almighty. They are particularly In order when a person or community is confronted with matters of great concern. It is for tills reason that "selicfaoth" are recited before tlie holiday of Rosh Hashanah and between the holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

Since these holidays are days of Judgment when a decision for life or death hangs in the balance, it is certainly in order to offer prayers (or forgiveness to Insure a positive Judgment for life.

Some oooununiUes begin these prayers a month before Rosh Hashanah. others begin the prayers al feast four days before Rosh Hashanah. starting with the midnighl after the Sabbath before Rosh Hashanah.

' A leading OrUiodox rabbi. descriUBg Jews as ao CPdangered species, has proposed that every Jewish couple have between (our and five children "not only to maintain our numbers but to increase our numben."

The proposal was made by Rabbi Noraah Lanun o( New York in an address to an Institute on the changing Jewish family sponsored by the Jewish Family and Children's Service hi Milwaukee <and supplemented In a telephone interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

He noted that demographers generally place at 2.1 cMkiren per tamily the number needed to maintain a group. He said Jewish couples should have between (wo and three children to maintain the Jewish populattoand another one or two children to assure Its increase.

At the present tbne. be declared, American Jews have reached not only zero population growth but a demographic attrition "which places Mr future under a question mark." He said some young Jews have argued that "If we preach papulation oonlrol to (he res( o( (he world, then we are morally bound to set an example by limiting our own families.'

For many years we have speculated about the composition of our community and the services that the Federation needed to provide to meet the community's needs. Once the demographic study has been completed, we will be able to deal from fact rather than from speculation. « —niE PROBLEMS OP our Je« ish brothers do not appear to be abating Israel's position continues to be as precarious as ever, especially as the Arab coimtries begin to wield their newly found petrapower Hardly a week goes by vi'hen another incident of suppression of Soviet Jews does not surf ace.

The problems continue and. as a result, the need continue* also. Tlie Philanthropies Campaign Is in iU fhul stages and those of you who have yet to make commitments must do ao. Next spring, we will mount the 1976 Campaign and we will look to all of your for support in this effort.

With aU of the above in mind, we kMk to the coming year as one in which wc will ace the Federation move abeMi as never before With a qualified staff, a dedicated Board of Dircctori and the cMnmu^ty's itavolvemant. we expect to be able to provide more and belter MrvicM to the community.

Jewish Life Study: Significant Jewish Component Is Integral to Family Service NEW YORK-A major osmmuliai Mrvke ididyopected to result In the tttaadenlnf of "the JewWi compoiMnt" of family lervlce offend by the local ioclal afMMiM of FederaUon In NofHi America and to help strengthen the quality of Jewish family life as a wtnte—has l>een Issued by the lumme for Jewish Ufe, a dWiaioa of the Council of Jewish Federations and WeMare Funds.

The 10-page study, "The Enargbig Jewish Family," was oooducted and written by Dr. Bernard Relsraan, director of the Homstein Jewish Communal Service Program at Brandeis Uatvnrslty. It is baaad on m^ than a year of extensive rmwch and discussion with liMlara In the field of Jewish oanmnal service.

The UL report calls for a slyMcant Jewish oonpoMot at htfagral to JtwWi (amlly ••rviea clientele today. It thooounends and anticipates that the family servioe agency win go beyond the dlnlcal area of Its put concerns, as some already have, to develop preventive, supportive services that strengthen the Jewish family WHk the cooperation ot othtr PMeratloo-apoaMrad agsadai such as ooaunBtty eaotan aid vocattaal aarvtcaa, and ID ooooert with tha tynafoflue, It Is hoped that

tamily Uia edneatlaa wU take

hacwning fajcraasiatfy JewlA kiioeui.

Though no single, rigid model Is projected, it is believed that Federation social agencies will develop a variety of techniques to serve the needs of the Jewish population snd further a deeper sense of Jewish identification.

Dr. Reisman cites a resurgence of Jewish awareness, particularly among young people. He points to a rising demand on the part of communities for more explicit Jewish content in the offerbigs of their Jewish agendas and, specKlcaiiy, a ferment within the Jewish Family Service agency itself.

Two areas are defined lor IncreaaedJFSAattention: (l) the creation of a Jewish ambience within the agency, Ad \t) the ei^ansion of the afency's "Jewish Family Ufe Ekkicatlon" programming.

This approach is expected to enhance the quality of service for the following reasons: —the current premium being placed on -Jewish identification by most Jevn: —It Is an approach not now generaUy bdng offered, and Is one which the JFSA has the resources to develop competa;tly; -by being uniquely

Jewish it provides authenticity, reflecting Jewlsb values; -and it is feasible in that the approach can be implemented by the staffs of the agency .with perhaps some additional in-service training or some supplementary staff.

Noting that moat aoch ageodn iDdude, with varying degrees ot emphasis, a Famlljr Life- Education program wlthhi Ihilr range o( aervlce, the report bidlcatea that thli type dl aethrity la iMooming mora central.

According to Dr. Kenneth Roseman, director of the UL, a number of recent Institute developments were basic to the current study's formulations and recommendatioas hi the area ot JFLE programming.

A symposium was convened by the UL at. Brandeis Univeraity last June. In attendance wee 30 JFSA professionals from various agencies throughout North America. All of them had already begpn to experiment with JFL£ programs. Central' to the sytnpotium was the question: Should we push • forward hi the area of Jewish Family Ufe Education? "The response", Dr Roseman added, "was a mandate to move ahead".

Significant to that ongoing program was the production

of a videotape through the IJL's Media Project and narrated by Dr. Reisman. To date, more than a third of the JFSAs in America and Canada have used it for staff and board discussions.

The UL report alto daima that "the Jewidi Family Ufe Education programs will •nbanoe the agency'B position tt leadership in the eommunity with respect to the Jewish family and will broaden the agency's bivdvement with indtvidudt andfaniUes".

In many communities where JFLE programs are being introduced, they are conducted In cooperation with synagogues and other organizations. Family agency staff are reacliing out to serve new groups wherever they are, not demanding that they come inlo the Agency building itself.

Even more significant is the fact that, by working with rabbis and other professionals, the JFSA staff add to their potential for helping Jewish families develop Jewish hontes and convey Judaism to their children.

The CJF is the association of central community organizations—Federations, Welfare Funds, Community Councils - serving 800 Jewish communities in the United States and Canada.

By GBWnSY WIOOOER Ifrael'i growing inlemaUdnal paUUol laolatloa during Uw put yew lw( htd the eflect o( even further wviding (he Identification of world Jewry with Israel ("two sides of the same Cohen" I. Diaspora 'Jewry has mobilized itself in the vanguard of the struggle out of a deep undenUnding of its central significance for Jewish IMe and survival..

The strongest Diaspora community-that of the US.— came out 'in mass demonstration against the ap pearance of Araf at at (be U. M. and reacted strongly following the breakdown of Kissinger's Middle East (alks when relations between the i;.S. Administration and Israel took a turn for the worse. This Jewish reaction played a role in galhering (he support of the 76 Senators who signed a letter in support of braei intended to check a potential deterioration in U.S.-lsraei relations; U.S. Jewry understood (he dire implications of such a development not only for Israel but also for them •^ves.

On a smaller Kale. Jewish coinmunlties tljraughout the world have .during a very difficult year-endeavored to bolster support for Israel on the local level, while Jewish intellectuals have sought to fight anti-Israei resolutions in

UNESCO and other ITN. foruma.

The struggle has been one of David against Goliath. The Arab oil Juggernaut has proved a powerful weapon, and international morality has fallen victim to national expediency.

Arab blackmail has succeeded on many levels and this frequently has had its impact on world Jewry.

Jewish firms have found themselves increasingly on the Arab blacklist. Arab financial groups have demanded banks with Jewish Interests be excluded from participating In the international bond mailiet Involvhig Arab money.

Jews have been squeezed out of companies doing business with the Arabsoften on the Initiative of the company itself who prefers not to wait for Arab demands Inthlsdirectkm.

The total picture thai emerges Is of a worldwide anti-Jewish campaign, cloaked as anti Zionism, masterminded and financed by the Arbs-with wiUing complicity from (he Soviets.

Such a campaign Is, for example, of incraolng concern in South America and its strategy was characterized by the head of the Arsentinlan community as "insUlling hatred of Jews in the political rooveinmli"

ScMJisny the second main concern of world Jewry in the past yMUhas again been for Soviet Jewry. Here again U.S. Jewry made lU InOuence felt as it threw iU support (but thla^ time, not unanimously) ttehlnd (he Jackson Amendmen(, calling for a liberalization of Russian emigratkm regulations.

Passed in face of the protests of Kissinger, the Jackaon Affleodment at first appeared to have been accepted to some extent by the USSR but within a few weeks they renounced their trade agreement with the U.S. on the pvuods that (hey could M( accept such Merfarsnce wl(h (heir "intemar' affairs.

Jews have continued to emigrate from the U.SS.R., although to a lesser extent than In the^prevhws years.

However, a growing proportion has gone to countries other than Israel.

We do not repeat names which had been listed in previous years: these are relative newcomers to the roli of those who made the I. news in Israel.

This year's new top names, lit alptiat)ellcal order: HaliB BeB-Oahar, economist, whose name became synonymous with the sweeping reform in Israel's taxation syitem submitted by the committee which be beaded.

Yoram BktnNkl, a wounded war^reteran. was held and prilled by the police for a month and a half on suspicion of murdering a friend.

Rachel Heller. An unprecedented press campaign against him led to his "conviction" hy public opinkm. untU the police had to release idm ior lack o( cvideiMa - and later arrested (£aoaUMTsuqiect.

ArddbMnp HDartai Cipaed. of the Greek Catholic Church, was found guilty on all counts of charges of smuggling arms and explosives Into Untl on behalf of the Fatah Following a trial during which the accused sought to mak^ political capital, he was sentenced to 12 years tnpriion.

Prof. Avrabam HodiBUB, a distinguished member of the sUff of the Hadasaah Hospital, was accused of collecting private fees from his patients, and as further result it now facing

Davtd Prattar, a 24-year-«ld deranged member of the staff of the Israel Consulate in Johannesburg, killed a colleague and seized the Consulate during a shocking gun battle which at first appeared to be another terrorist attack.

Tlbor Roacobaam, Geneva banker. The financial difficulties of his International Credit Bank and his various Vaduz-based companies triggered a series of scandals and caused huge loesea to various Israel concerns and many private investors. The echoes are still reverberating.

Midiaal Iter, former head of the Israel Corporation and once considered one of Israel's most brilliant financial and administrative figures, pleaded guilty to U charges of bribery, tlwft, falsificatkm of documenU and various other offenses. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison. The revelations came as a result of the Roeenbaum collapse.

Continuing-aM tkl> It a moat ii^partant part of the fouadaUon al JewUi htoiUly-Cod makes to Abraham (and later loJuac and to Jacob) QwentiaUy a dual pramtie; that the families of the earth wUI bIcM thenaelvea by the deacendanU of the Patriarch*, that it. the Jews: and that the Patriarcha will have descendants as nunwrna, indeW as uncountable, as tlie stan o( tbe aky. the dust of tlte eartli, the sand on the teathore.

Jewish identity, then, is not tomething solitary, isolated. II is oommunal. coUectlve.

It has a quantitative aqiect. In onier for there (nbeaJewtheKhavelaheliitaofJcais.

What we may call the oonstitutkn of Jewish identity is to be found in the Lord's thai«M about Abraham as He is about to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. You rememtier ttie magnificently comk and moving bargaining soane between Abraham and UM Lord, where Abraham, the first Jew. tucoeeds In Jewing Him down—here we can take pride in that jDffensive expressioa—from 50 to 10 as the "number of ri^iteout required to lave a city.

And there is another key verse. God promises Abraham: "I will esUbliih My convenant between Me and you, ahd your deacendaats after you."

On this verse there is a s|risndld Gonntent by the Rabbis (In Yevamot) which goes as (oUows: "IfamanbaamitbutiedbbnsaUwith the commandment to be fniltfui and to multiply, he cauaas tbe 8bektainah"-the DIvhte Presence-"l6 depart from Israel, as it is said tai Scripture:... to be your God. and your descendants'after you.'When you have descendants after you. then the Sbekhinah canrativonyou."

What are the Rabbis saying? They are aaytoig somethhig that modem Jews, our Mnd of Jews, don't like to think about, for some reason. They are saying. "No Jmt. no Jewish Identity." They arc being materialtraditional Christian theok)gy scornfully calls Judaism "carnal"—and we like to be spiritual.

Isn't the reason why everyone is worried about Intermarriage that intermarrtaga la a threat to Jewish identity? But if to. why do we wantlo fbrget the primitive, basic truth that you can bava Jewiili identity only when enou^ Jews are bom to have Jewish idenUty? In an Ibe worfd Iba^idy paopls «bo art

ByUwnBnB.li|«t DES MOINES'The past year at the lo)¥a Jewish Home has beao one of continuous activity and pragrcis, guided by our professional and efficlent staff, and presided over by a dedicated and wellInformed Board, which represents a good crossseinano(our(»mmunUy. The occupancy of the Home has been substantially 100 per cent during the past 12 months. I.e., our 42 skilled nursing beds and five retirement apartments have generally been occupied contbiuousiy throughout the year.

The mix of the Home population, of course, changes from day to day, with

dlicbwata, detttio and new admisstons; however, the "inhouse" population has remained primarily female from the D^ Moines area.

We do have several reaidents (ram otbor ooeimuottieittinMiboutttaaStaia, intilrli fiwili tn hirrngas niir baaaodtvpartteitoHsaw; and we oootlnM to «MO«a(B other oommunttlfs to and their aging raMenIs to us, so as to matatain tUs woittw relatloMblpwtdGhhaibaaaio goodlnthepast During the past year, we have found that inflation has become our number one enemy.

Costs for personnel, provisions and.siq>plies have moved up relentlessly,

without any rdlef In sight; and, in order to maintain the level of care given the residents in the past, and to provide some definite measure of Improvement, it has been necessary to substantially raise our dally rate for care for thei^imingyear, We are indeed cognizant of the (inanclal burden and hardship today placed upon all of our elderly and aging, and their respective families, However, the Home Board and its staff feels an obligation, sometimes compeiling, to provide better-thanaverage care for our residents, whose very lives and mental and physical wellbeing have been placed In our charge.

tU* >• a awetoma responsibility, MilidAii of tbitf iwpaaifallify, the Board has appnmhod each and every problem' todng It with that iefne al competance and wallinterned Judgment wUdi, In great meemre, has been reaponlble for the envjabie nputatkn which our Home has cqloyed (or many years and which the board strives to maintain, Another weighty problem has been a recognition of the inadequacy of the program;^ mhig lor Home residents!

Models of geriatric care elsewhere are serving as examples for our Board and we are modestly moving In the (Continued on Page 60)

The Only Certainty Is Uncertainty RaMiiB.D.6»tron T—^--, iji DaiMn,iPM It has been one of those strange growing seasonsinlowa. The early Spring began with a molatandrecepUvesoil. VetltwassufflcienUy dry that the farmer succeeded In planting his crop tarlier than usual. Then followed rain In abundance. By mid-June, we were reading In Uie newspaper about a bumper crop; com and beans would be plentiful.

But as I write these words, there Is fear of anotlier drou^it in this part of the State, Mbiiscuie amounts of rain have fallen in the last month, endangering the crops and placing those positive predictions toi Jeopardy.

What has been revealed by this sudden turn o( events is a truth which the Roah Hashanah liturgy dwells upon - Ihe truth that the only thing which is certain about life Is that it is uncertain. The words of the prayer, "Who shall live, and who shalll die", touches deeply preiiiaely because of thU. What will be our fate In4he year ahead? What will be the future of our family, and of those for whom we care deeply? What lies ahead for the State oflsraat?

And what abort our country, which this year marks its300-]war anniversary? rtn lliaiii ItmnWiimigi haaiflj niwi \m irith the approach ot the Roab Hariianah aeaion. It la natural lliat,aa we eouldir the UDoartainly that llM ahead, omi of three nptinrn iwims npw toua.

There an some who shy away from facing the future. Peeling only comfortable in the nostalgic past. In the familiar surroundings that they have come to know, they choose to

_^ . „ return to tt.

Then there are those who opt for the living solely in lh« present. For them, the most logical option is to devote themselves exdusively to each day, accepting what It brings, and attempting to make the most of it. They diooae to live In the here and now, not conceming themsdves overly with what lies ahead.

Flnalfy, there are those who, knowing the risks and hazards, nevertheless decide to immerse themselves In activities, the future of which they can never foretell. Here again the example of the farmer comes to mind. For one thing that seems remarkably Impressive about the farmer is his faith in the future, despite the uncertainties, and dangers, that always accompany his own occupation.

Indeed, life's true adventurers are those who have taken the risk, while at the same time recognizing that they knew not what the future beheld. Examples of such Individuals are legion in our history. Abraham was such an adventurer. So was Moses. Theodore Herzl ranks as one of the greatest adventurers of our time. All of life's greatest achieveinents have come as a result of those who have dared to face the future, who have had the faith and the courage to plan for it, and have had the tenacity to make the future their own.

Rosh Haihanah calls us to the future. It asks u* to <ifaw inspiration from the past, to make our present the best it possibly can, while yet looking to the unknown horizons of the future that can be met only with great faith and courage.

Bountiful Year for BJE DES MOINES - This year i^ the Det Moines Bweau of ; Jewish Education has served Y 245 individuals age 3-11. \ The program is based on the \ philosophy o{ formal and \ informal education as a toid to y increase motivation and give ' special attention to the needs i: of individuals and small : groups.

I* The subjects taught were [ Hebrew. Bible. History. ^ Holidays. Customs and I Rituals through traditional lecture-type teaching and through informal approaches such as arts and crafts. puppets, drama, etc Some new approaches and . .experiments were made in \ several classes, such as the open-class method in the , fourth grade and preparation ^ for the Bar MItzvah year in ^ sixth grade. There was a new : approach to the post-Bar \ MItzvah in the eighth grade.

The holiday program was i unique and attractive. It . started with the visit to Mrs ; Gendler's Sukkah on Sukkoth : Then came the Chamikah (Community-wide celebration, ^the Purim MIshloach Manot , project for the elderly without i families, the Passover model Seders and finally, the Lag :' B'Omer game celebration. ' We had two retreats. The L't hemes were "The iReUtkHHhip Between. Man [and His Fellow Man"'and f "Remember ' What Amaiek l^DidtoYouahdWhy." The high school program Is year offered courses In rcheology. Jewish Art. •rama. Beginning Hebrew, Advanced Hebrew. Jewish [Law, Singing and Dancing. ~almud. Contemporary

History. History of the Marranos Jews and Philosophy (The Medium Is Movies: The Message Is •Man") Many of thcUgb scfaocders worked at the school (Ms year and were very helpful.

A special program was held for children with learning disabilities and for advanced students.

The IdentificatkNi Program featured two senMslers «f courses In Hebrew and History based on the recommendations of those who attended this program last year, plus a retreat orientation program supervised by the counsrior who traveled with the students In Israel this summer.

Fifteen elementary school students received money for summer camp through the Jack Brody Memorial Scholarship Fund This year 24 eighth graders gradutited from the Bureau elementary school. Nine students graduated from Hebrew high school, having completed 18-credlt hours.

A ChrMUn wbo conveitcd to Judaism ha< reported Uiat an acquaintance met to many negatlv* irsctiam from Jews during hit cooveraion that he decMed to hide th« fact and to "twear hewM bom Jewish."

Norman Wrigit. describing his own experiences, said that while he had been readily acce|iMi In every Jewish community he had visited or lived, in. he loo had observed "disturbing Jewish reactions" lo converts. ' WriSbt reported on his wperience in Dwki, a quarterly Journal pulilidied by the Millel council at the University of California at Loe Angeies.

Wright said he had been employed, while he was attending graduate school, in a fundamentalist Christian boarding school, "but with a charge of heresy pending agaioct me."

Reporting lliat "doubts and miqiiviiigi" about the Christian faith "had been eating may at me for years," he said he finally left both the school and Chrislianlty.

Durii« that period, he nportad, hB kad oame to beUeve in a strict moaoliMii "divine aipecU or WiBlty." He ecotral oonoOBi ai "eOiieat tad monl" and a need ior"italiielaw>."Healsoe(plaiaed lotto ChrMiMi thipUlD at the univenity, "a good (rteod and nwfldant," that be was atanMng lOr mnetUBf with "biitorical depth and a strong aoMe of tradttkn."

Texas, he was introduced by a Jewish historian lo other Jews.

When he finally introduced hiniaelf to the rabbi, ho knew he wanted to become Jewish but did not kno«' Wtiether he could During the year of conversion lessons he took wth the rabbi, he

•akL "I felt as if 1 were eoralng home after a kng cold night in tiie afreets."

He saM brlouod the most difficult part of the convershai preceia was learning lo f«H Jewish.

-"When anoUMr Jew was pindwd. I wouM have lo scream. I gained Uils awareness in studying about the Hokwauit The victims were no kmfler ttMtract brings; they were my ckMOsl friends, my family, myself. I have never since been without the pain of the Hokwaust. I had become a Jew." Soon after he converted, his wife did also "and our son was bom Jewirii." He saM his growing interest in Jewish studies and concern lor Jewish survival "compelled me to abandon my career in Englisit literature" for one in Jewish educalion and Jewish communal service. ^ One o< the "dMnrtii« roMttoH" IMB Jam, to nportad, was tkat tto quartkn "Why oa ••rtli do you want to to a Jew?" oonuaonly Mknra Ua taiUa* a ban Jaw HMt to and Ms wUe were oooverts.

Wright also reported that Jews had told him repeatedly thai he was the first convert they had met, which tie calh!d a form of "invisibility," which he said implied that "we converts are somehow strange, unusual, not quite Jews." lie posed the question as to whether this reaction indicated "a more serious reject ion ol the convert."

His main public work is as chairman of (he Greater Belfast Education Committee, jvhich directs a 13 million-pound education budget for 60,000 chitdfM (teachers' salaries are paid by the central government). His committee's delicate Job is to run a dual system of state schools and maintained sclnoli, the latter being a euphemism for the sectarian networks. He is the only Jew on a committee divided between Protestants and Catholics and he enjoys their fullest confidence.

Most interestingly, members of both Christian communities are to be found on social occasions at Jewish bomee: eqieclally those of leader^ {n the profniians.

This is the case with the local Jewish Queen's Counsel - the zenith of tbe British legal profession - Ronald Appleton, QC, whose greatgrandfather was a founder of the Belfast cOnununity. He

rormation Is exchanged through t|ie newsletter and the annual conferQxx. In general terms, the communities concern themselves with the maintenance of Jewish Identity through a cultural and historical, though nonreligious, approach, said Gales.

Mrs. Revzin pointed out thai this is not an anti-religious approach necessarily, and that indeed In some secular schools affiliated with the movement, the children are acquainted with the various religious approaches to Judaism so that they will be knowledgeable in this area.

Celebrations of Chanukah, Purim. Passover and other holidays are common in the secular schools.

llils work was only' available In Hebrew, but now, in addition to the Talmud and the Midrash, the Pesikta gives us three major works of that period now available to readers of English.

Both the Talmud and the Midrash quote the Peaikta frequently, and it Is of no wonder. The work Is not only a compilation of Rabbis' surmons, but also a source of historical data.

Prom the Perikta we have instances in which non-Jews would ask the Rabbis a question on Judaism or some other subject. At one point it is mentioned that, "A Cuthean came and challenged Rat>bi Meir with a question. You keep saying that Jacob, the father of your people, is truthful. I will show you that be is not truthful.' When Rabbi Meir disapproved what he was trying to show, he said, 'Happy is you people to have such people aiyou.'" nan aa DOW we tea that Uw Jem taiaracted wtth tke nooJewUiworid.

In the Piaikta we find stories told by the Rabbis about Alexander the Great, Haman and others. The Rabbis used Greek to translate the words of Scripture and Implied that certain words from the Scripture are of Greek 6rigin.

I am sure that many will enjoy reading this work as much as I did. You do not have to finish It in a short time. It can be read every week following the reading of the Torah, or select areas can be read according to personal choice.

(The book la available at tbe Omaha JewU Pederatta Ubraiy.)

Continued from ?•(« (7) the whole area. TbU WM the place where the lecret agreement was to be signed.

There were no guard* around the houie; not a aoul.

Dr. Neumann and Dr. Fari>aztejn went Into the home together with the Emir'i repreacntatlve and the Jewish Intermediary to sign the agreement. I remained outside with my camera and took pictures of the house in which the historic act of selling land in Trans)ordan to Jews for the flnt time was to take place.

The ceremony of signing the agreement did not take long.

Because everything had been previously negotiated in top secrecy, both sides were eager to sign the agreement as ' quickly is possible. And everything had been prepared In advance. In less than a half hour, we were back In the car for the return trip to Jenmiem. Dr. Neumann was baatatag with satisfaction and Dr. Farbsztejn gleefully played with his cane and kept on repeating the words: Ki bemakli avarti et hayarden: "For with my staff I have croiMd the Jordan!"

The secret deal was too' good, however, to remain confidential. The Mandatory Government — which was againit Jewish acquisition of land in Transjordan — was bound to find out about it sooner or later and the Jewish Agency was unsure what action the Mandatory Government would take. The chances were that It would declare It null and void or that It would "lend" Emir Abdullah the 5,000 Pounds Sterling he needed to repay the Jewish Agency and thereby cancel the agrwnienl.

The chances were also good that Arab leaders in Palestine — the Emir's deadly enemies — would find out about the ' deal too and use it against him < 'by causing an uproar in the Arab world, accusing him of selling land to Jews In Transjordan where Jews were prohibited by^ the British Administration to acquire land.

Sure enough the story broke one day in a L«banese

Every detail of the secret deal was revealed in the article and the Emir was warned that it would be wise to cancel the deal. This took place about two weeks after the deal was closed. It was clear that someone close to Emir Abdullah bad leaked the story to the newspaper. In order to create an excuse that If the agreement were implemented, the Emir's life might be in danger since the Arab press was up in arms over It. I do not know whether the Emir returned the 5,000 Pounds Sterling he had gotten from the Jewish Agency, but I believe that the Jewish Agency never got them repaid. The secret agreement remained, however, an historic and important document. It is now In the archives of the Jewish Agency together with other Mitiirk: documents relating to Palestine.
