SOLOMON: My main reason for leaving Florida was that, on its Western Coast, the atmosphere was very goyish. The Jewish community In St. Petersburg really lacked roots; people that had settled there — their main commitment, if any, lay with the community they came from. In contemplating making a change, my wife and I wanted to return to the Midwest. We wanted to raise our kids in an atmosphere wtiere people had strong family ties and the community was established. I personally have felt since leaving the Twin Cities that there was an important aspect of Yiddlshkeit missing from our lives, and Omaha offered us the opportunity to bring our children iq> In this type ol environment. JP: Were there any key factors which helped you favor Omaha? SOLOMON: A critical point in selecting Omaha was the Jewish Community Center. My wife and I both decided we wanted to be In a community with a strong Jewish Community Center — a place to which we wanted to bring our kids as well as enjoy the various cultural and social programming offered, which was really non-existent in Florida. JP: l^an you elaborate a bit on what you mean by the lack of ilea In tbe Florida area In which you were working? SOLOMON: Well, one of the main problems In developing a viable Jewish life in the community life which 1 encountered was the fact that most of the people came from another community. The Jewish institutions were weak in general; the level of commitment — financially as well as involvement-wise — was minimal; families grew up there without the benefit of having the extended family. Most of the young people — their children — did not have aunts and uncles and grandparents there to share the holidays with. Most of the elderly people, which represented a significant portion of the papulation, basically settled there to run away from the big cities, to (Continued on Page2)

aoer? SOLOIION: I think that's a (air question. It was a very difficult decision. I think Omaha offered the greater challenge of the two Jobs; I felt that Omaha was on the verge of really developing into a viable Jewish community. I was most impressed with the Jewish Community Center; I believed that this offered us a foundation In which we could grow and really tmild a strong sense of community around the Center, which 1 see as being one of the major focal points in Jewish life.

JP: How dkt jmi vtow your munlty In f nmlag IwwiT SOUMfON: Really. I saw this as a partnership. I was very excited about the quality of the Uy leadership In the community and their commitment to building a strong Jewish community here. Another important aspect of the Onuha oommunily that most impressed me was the involvement of the rabbta in total community life. I believe that the Jewish communal workers and the rabbis are working together for one common goal — to buUd a stronger Jewish community in Omaha — and I've lieen very pleased to date with the interest shown by Uie rabbis In community activities. To me, the synagogue is the central core of religious life in the community - we, Marlene and I, personally fed that it's very Important to i>eking to a synagogue and to sintort the synagogues financially.

Omaha Director Says "Still A Big Job Ahead of Us'

(Continued from Pane 2) •ound. long-range planning In the community. We've got to implement an organized approach to evaluating our existing programs and services. To achieve such a goal, none at the departments can tM treated as a aacred cow in tlie evaluating process. One o( the moat exciting dimensions within the long range planning process will t)e the utilization at Uie results of the detnograpliic study which we will l>egln to receive shortly. The study can serve as a tool tor long range planning. I'm excited Uiat the results will begin to Identify priority areas of concern (or us to focus In en. We also have got to be realistic In terms of our current fundralsing potential and discrete In how we allocate the funds raised in the campaign. Another area of concern te me is the manner In which the Federation must be numaged internally. I think it's critical that we maintain some strong fiscal and administrative responsibilities at all times. This can omiy be accomplished within a framework that clearly delineates the duties and responsibilities of all sUff. And I think the implementation of the new personnel practices code will help us manage our staff In a man equitable and efficient manner. JP: Altboutfi jm've only been here a short tine, are there any areas of loiprovement which you've SOLOMON: I am most pleased with the budget and allocations procedure this year. I think the committee worked diligently in setting priorities In regard to the amount of dollars that we had available (or local, natk>nal and overseas concerns. They were careful not to allocate more funds than we raised and have begun to set up a plan over a period of years to put us back on a sound fiscal basis. To make the budget and allocations process meaningful, I think that all our local benedclaries are going to have to learn to live within a given allocatkni and if they foresee a problem. It's the duty and responsibility of their department committee to come up with an alternative solutkm. The Federation can no longer be looked at upon as an Instrument with unlimited funds Each of the department and the department heads and the lay boards are going to have to learn to live within the given allocatkifl* and assume a strooeer r«poosibUity In the partnership (with the Faderttion) lor managing the funda allocated to them. JP: H waa rewnUy WTaaled that Omaba, with a total Jewish pofwlaUaa o( iitout 6,500. has In that mmthw some 1,400 persooi aflt •) and above ov«r — nearly V parent ol th0 total. This K obviouly a critical oaocem to you and Uw Fadaratloa board. What'a btliig done about tt?

SOLOMON: The board's concern was Instrumental in estabilahing the Coordinating Conunittee on Aging (CCOA). The purpose of the committee is to bring together the three departments that are now providing a variety of services to the aged — the Jewish Community Center, the Jewish Family Services and the Dr. Sher Home (or the Aged — to begin working and communicating together on the professional and the lay level, and to seek out additional programs and services that will meet the needs o( this rising portion of our population. "The national average reflected in the national Jewish populatkxi study Indicated that 11 percent of the Jewish community today is 65 and over and projected ttiat In the next 10 years it would rise to 15 percent. Our own local figures, which came from an informal study done by the Federation staff done prk>r to the results of the demographic study, shows a significantly higher proportkm than the II percent nationally — much closer to 20 percent. This being the case, we felt It waa critical to focus In on this age group and begin developing a comprehensive program utilizing the talents of all our staff and roost able lay leadership of the three Involved departments and to sit down and begin projecting some long-range program needs. I think the committee basically is addressing itself to those programs that can be Implemented Immediately. But In the l>ack of tiw minds of the people on the committee are programs such as housing and skilled nursing care (or the aged - which 1 feel are at least five years down the pike. But the seeds of these Ideas must be planted and our homework must be done to draw up a blueprint of what our needs might be. JP: What about the Dr. Sber Hdae? SOLOIKm: The Home Is currently running at its capacity and is limited in the scope of the services it can provide. It Is basically an Intermediate care facility and as people become In need of a skilled nursing facility, they are forced to leave uie Dr. Sher Home. 1 think we are going to have to address ourselves to this problem and explore alternatives. JP: Is Own aoolbar aspect to the care of the aatdT SOLOMON: There Is low Income and middle Income housing for the well-aged (elderly not needing nursing care). The whole philosophy of serving the aged population is to keep them In the community as kmg as possible to avoid Institutkmal care, whteh is the most costly (orm of service we can provide. Hopefully, the CCOA will develop programs along thoae lines to maintain people In their homea as long as poaatble. JP: More than Ukaty, wear* going to need graatar oom-

How woukl you propose to stimulate greater community Involvenient — that ii, to Increase vohmteerlsm from the Omaha community? SOLOMON: This U a very di(flcult question to answer. Volunteerism in America is going Utrough a very troubled period today. I think the changing role of women In our society, with more and more of them going back Into the work force, looking for meaningful ways to use their leisure time - we're in a new era. We have to provide programs that are exciting, where the volunteer gets something out of the program. We've got to approach people with programs from which they can gain satisfaction, through which they (eel ttiey are accomplishing something. Particularly in the Jewish community, you're dealing with a very highly educated group of people who have a great deal o( expertise to offer and we have to be creative in developing volunteer programs ttial'll meet some of tiielr own expectations. I feel that the people in this community have a lot to o((er us and it's up to us — the protesslonai and lay leadership o( the Federation — to (irst broaden the base o( the leadership in the community. We must develop a new corp o( leaders. This is one o( the priority concerns o( every Federation. It's the whole concept o( developing ongoing Young Leadership progranu. Our 1975 group 1 think Is a highly motivated group o( young people who have gotten Involved, or who have made or are beginning to make a meanlngiul contribution to not only the Federation and Its departments, but to synagogue life and Jewish

organizational ti(e as well. We're In the process of starting a second group to go through a program similar to that of last year's group. The whole purpose Is to create a continuum of leadership so that there is no void in representation by all age groups and segments in leadership positions. 1( our Young Leaclership programs can turn out five topnotch leaders a year, this community will be set for many, many years. 1 Uiink that what has hap pened until recent times is that there has been a void — we have been resting on the laurels of our senior spokesmen in the community who have carried the cbmmunlty not only financially, but also In'leadership roles down the line. It's time for new faces to emerge. This has got to be one of tlie priorities of the Federation — It's certainly one of my priorities.

Open the Gates of Prayer Reviewed By Rabbi Robert KalKT TiBfltB-MlJtriHB.LlMita.IM>

There is a principle in the sociology of religion that grandchildren often choose to remember precisely those things their parents chose to forget. Nowtverc is this more evident than in the publication of Ihe New Union Prayer Book Compared side by side with the Union Prayer Book we grew up with, the New Union Prayer Book is an engaging commentary on the directions the Reform Movement ha.s moved in the last generation Pruned is a great deal of the ethical verbiage which hedged

Letters to the Editor WITHUUTTHElf. .. We would like to thank you for your recent article on our Midwest SYO Regional Conclave. We also want to thank all the parents and adults who helped make it such a great event. And to the members of Kadimah SYO and our advisors we give the biggest thank-you of all, because without you it couldn't have beendone. DmridDePnte. ShenCoiMB, EUkMntyn i OoodateTrtOuyrPeapie

so much of the Union Prayer Book's translations In Its place is virtually an encyclopedia of prayer (the New UPB is almost 1,000 pages long) whose authors offer something for almost every occasion and philosophic persuasion. The great advantage to this approach is that It offers this diversity, its disadvantage is that one might suspect that tlie Reform Movement is now simply unified by force of habit and sheer randomness But on tbe balance I like tbe New Unkm Pnytr Book. Ito %>are, unadoned languafe Is more In keepliig with our ttme. lU special lerTieea, dealing witti the state of laraei and the Hoiocauat, are long oveftte and well written. But mostly 1 like The New Unkm Prayer Book for its honest attempt to re-establish and revivify the structure of the classic Jewish service Much of this sense of structure was lost in the publlcatkMi of our Unkm Prayer Book so many years afio. Adaptation of the New Union Prayer Book will not come overnight. But its puUlshen should feel secure that they have satisfied the mandate of the Reform Movement in creating a Book of Prayer in keeping with contemporary trends of style and substance. They deserve our thanks and our cooperation.

Appointment of Archaeologist Fulfills Nick Newman's Dream (Continued from Page 11 medium-sized (Jewisli) cities" to improve such situatiom. "Unfortunately, Nick was not able to Implement (the program iiere) lilnuelf," siie said. But what has been esUbiished "is like a living memorial" to him. She pniMd Nodde'i aOarts In hwlp^m ftt HM fiwit for UNOandOiurtia. Noddle said Seger's appointment fills a void in the Omaha Jewish communlj^y's ties to its ancient origins because he will be a resource person where none had existed before.

Noddle said bringing in Or. Seger "made quite a dent In this problem area" and was perhaps one of the most dramatic moves toward filling such a void ever In Federation history. He thanked the Newmans, the National Foundation and its officials, Dr. Birdman and UNO and noted the project had helped draw the Jewish community and the people of UNO closer. "We look forward to a more significant relationship In the future," Noddle said. He said he was happy to have Dr. Seger, his wife Karen and their daughter living here.

After welcoming remarks by Dr. William Kane, chairman of the Art Department, Dr. Seger, a Protestant theologian, introduced himself and showed slides of his work at Gezer High Place and other excavations in that area. He showed a huge gateway built under the auspices of King Solomon, a cave dating back to 1,500 BCE and artifacU recovered from these areas. Dr. Birdman said that a number of these artifacts will be on display at UNO in the near future. RldianlPMvL

better by the Chinese than they were by the Japanese" who were controlling Shanghai then. Now in his 2Sth year with the Omaha daily. Provost, who will be 54 In May, was leader of the paper's tour to Russia last summer. He and his wife, Irene, had become friends with Shirley Goldstein, co-chairman of the Federation's Committee lor Soviet Jewry wlio was planning to make her third trip to the Soviet Union. For Shirley, the trip was a chance to make contact with Soviet dissidents, many of them Jews whom the Soviet Union had refused permission to emigrate to Israel. Mrs. Goldstein wanted to offer Uiem her support and encouragement. The Prwtiets dedded to loin her. For tiwni, It wai a cfaanoe to aee aBoOier aide oC Bnaaia than the one they saw on their tint visit, tMdk in UM. On that trip, they got the best food, the best hotels ttie Russians had to offer - all part of the approved Soviet tourist package. The trip with Shirley was different — even to their being separated from the rest of the group by being placed in rooms ^t the far end of one floor of Moscow's largest hotel. "We knew what we were doing displeased the (Soviet) government. We knew that the Russians had to be aware. We were going to apartments of people that were watched quite steadily. They couldn't help but know we were spending a lot of time visit Ing the homes of dissidents. "We had done nothing Illegal, but we were operating In an area that the Soviet government frowns upon — we were socializing and meeting with people who are considered activists." The trip aaw a Ruaatan aahUer warn MiB. Provoat not to take piehim in trait o( Mooiiow'a Great Synagofue and It alao aaw aU thdr flfan conflaratart — aa well at tiieir baggage thorau^hly nardied - Uw day thejr deported. A lot of Provost's Interest In that second trip to Russia stemmed from his belief that "the greatest political and social phenomenon of my lime has been the battle between Communism and various forms of democracy — Uie battle for men's minds.. This confrontation has been a constant one, going back to the early labor movement in .theU.S. . . "You can't embrace the Communist philosophy and be sympathetic to it and at the same time tackle Ihe problem of Soviet Jewry. It's part of the Communist attitude toward any religion. Of course, the Jewish thing goes much deeper. "I think people correctly stale that, while Nazi Germany was guilty of genocide of the flesh, the Russians now are guilty of |enocide of the spirit. "I think hWary will look back and deal wltb no very hanhly lor not dealing more with the ettuatian ta Ruaaia, tor not getting Ihe Soiviet gotrenuMnt to let iq>. "Russia itself removed (the persecution) from being Just an internal matter" by becorning signatory to three agreements on human rights, said Provost. "Russia is In very drastic violation of these articles on human rights that they've signed. "In my opinion, our government's refusal to use grain and other Items that Russia needs — our refusal to apply leverage in bargaining - means that we are subsidizing the system and are guilty of all these wrongs. I'm ail for dealing with them, because it's much better to be talking with them and dealing with them than to be apart. But they don't hesitate to tell us what they will or won't do. "We take more of a pussycat approach to things. We'vegot more of what the rest of the world wants than any country on theface of the earth. It's a question of how we distribute it. . .If we deal with them (Russia and China) as we do with Great Britain, we are not making any effort at all." ,

NEW YORK - Most children's books about Jewish life published In the past 20 years convey an unrealistic Impression that today's auUiors must seek to correct. This view, by Ann G. Wolfe, a member of the American Jewish Committee staff, and editor of "About lOO Books," a compendium of outstanding literature for children, is expressed in a recent Issue of Present tense: The MacBdne of World Jewish Aflalrs. The magazine, whose editor is lUurray Polner, is published by the American Jewish Committee and is sponsored by the Bergreen Institute ol Foreign Policy Studies and f^iblications. According to Mrs. Wolfe, "If one were to believe these authors, the life of the Jewish immigrant In America might have been hard, but it was 'fun.' Mama and papa, who came from the ifatetl, teli their children stories about grandma and grandpa, about the seder, the cheder and the abul, about Purim and hamantaschen.. .Papa and mama are kind, and understanding papa works in the shop or has a little tailoring or candy store.' "Sometimes he is on strike and mama worries a bit, but they manage somehow. And the climax ot the story is often an event common to the period - the family moves to the Bronx or papa manages to get a second-hand piano or fiddle and announces that the children will take music lessons!" The avoidance of historical and cootempcrary realities, Mrs. Wolfe sayi, 'itbouch unfortunate, Is understandable. For years autbon and publMten o( children's books have been reluctant to tteal with sudi themes. "They have not ventured into the challenging and difficult terrain of unfamiliar or painful subjects both because few book-purchasing parents have been inclined to push them there and, In the matter of the Holocaust, they may have been reluctant to convey to children a pain and agony that was too close to deal with. But no group can escape its history." In her article, entitled "Through a Crooked Glass," Mrs. Wolfe calls for greater candor. "Parents, teachers and others concerned with helping Jewish children feel secure in their attachment to the group are beginning to ask themselves and each other if perhaps the children wotild not benefit from confronting

the painful parts of their history, "she writes. Not only Jewish trials but Jewish triumph must become part of the record, Mrs. Wolfe believes, adding: "Triumphof spirit, of good over evil, of learning and wisdom and art, of contributions to society In all areas — these are themes which need to be filled in to bring home to children the pleasures and variety of Jewish life." Mrs. Wolfe discusses favorably a numbej: of children's books that she feels meet the criteria she sets down. Among them are the following: Breidchig the SUence, a story published in pamphlet form, commissioned by the American Jewish Committee and published In 1962 by the Instftute of Human Relations. The story is a conversation about the Nazi era between a mother and her son, in which the mother ruminates about the dehumanization that had been so effectively accomplished that "men ceased to be men In Nazi Germany and became numbers in a

bookkeeper's ledger of the dead." I Never Saw Another Butterfly (McGraw-Hill, 1964) the title taken from one of the poems in the book — an emotional testament to the heroism of the IS.OOO children under the age of 15 who passed through Theresienstadt. Only lOO of them survived. Enemy Brothers (Longmans, 1943), a description of the re-education of a Nazi trained boy who is brought to England. Twenty and Ten (Viking, 1952), written by Claire Htichet Bishop, a French Catholic who has devoted herself to improving Catholic Jewish relations. The book, which Mrs. Wolfe says "has become something of a small classic for nine-to-twelveyear-olds," describes the adventures of a fictional French nun and 20 of her charges in a Catholic orphanage, who protects 10 Jewish children from German soldiers. It is,'Mrs. Wolfe states, "a tale of courage and kindness, written with tenderness and humor." IVfrs. Wolfe describes a number of other children's books of which she approves, some ol them whose major theme is Israel. Among the latter are Palestine, by Paul Falkenberg (Holiday House, 1946); My Father's House, by Meyer Levin (Viking, 1947); and Adventures in Palestliie, by Judith Ish-Klshor (Messner, 1947). The etiucatlon of Jewidi children, Mrs. Wolfe believes, "has tended to avoid posing the difficult questions that (dague Jewish adults: Is It helpful iat Jewish children to see themselves as part of a kmg march of victiins? Should we look ahead, but keep the memory of the IMocaust qidetly alive? Should we allow it to fade?" However, these questions will eventually be answered, Mrs. Wolfe says, stating that "It is clear that literature for children Is moving toward 'breaking the silence.' lliis places on writers for ttie young a heavy responsibility. "They must not only convey this emotionally loaded and philosophically complex material fairly and sensitively but also must balance it with a fuller picture of the Jewish experience than has heretofore been available."

Israel, 5736: Facts to Know Setback for FYee Educatiaa Cutbacks forecast In the national education budget may end free tuition for ninth graders In 1976. The discontinuation of free schooling In the ninth grade could save the government as much as SO million Israeli poiuids — but will further reduce the chances of Israel's poor to improve their standards of living. The cost of higher education is also expected to rise substantially, with an anticipated doubling of tuition and cost of living expenses in the near future. QuotatkM of the Week: The long and tragic dialogue between the Jewish people and the rest of humanity has reached a special point ol Intensity. From every international platform we are assailed, abused, cajoled, advised. It is the Jewish people's turn to speak. For Jewlshness is not an accident. It is an es^ntiai attribute In the history of mankind. Nothing perpetuates it more than the attempt to suppress It. The talent for translating external hostility into inner strength is as old as the Jewish people itself. AhbaEban
