Goldenberg Heads Lirrcoln Federation Campaign LINCOLN - Irvin Goldenberg has baen named chairman of the 1976 Lincoln Federation Campaign according to an announcement made by Herbert Gaba, Lincoln Jewish Welfare Federation president.

A Chicago native and graduate of that city's Roose\relt University, Goldenberg has lived in Lincoln since 1968. He was formerly a partner in a public accounting firm and was a staff member of the New Vorii

Also needed. Mrs. Goldstein said, are household goods and used tumilure. Anyone wishing to offer personal or material aid should call Mrs. Goldstein at 391-IOGO. "We need immediate help as we were Just informed

by HIAS of the Imminent arrival of our newest Immigrant," she added.

IniBGcldMlMri office of the United Jewish Appeal.

Today, as president of the Golden Carrot Health Food Store k)cated in the Gateway Mall here, Goldenberg has been Invited to present lectures on nutrition to various

groups in this area.

Mrs. Goldenberg, the former Mrs. Ruth HUI, has been active and involved in Federation and has served as chairwoman of the Lincoln Women's Campaign.

The Goldenbergs' daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs Dick Lemer of Omaha, are involved in that city's active" Young Leadership group.

Robin Hill, a sophomore at Northwestern ijniverslty, recently returned from the United Jewish Appeal 'Youth Mission to Israel She will help direct the campaign on her campus.

Lincoln is privileged to have the know-how CJoldenberg brings (o this chalmnanship, Gaba said. He has been a frequent visitor to Israel and has an earnest awareness of Israel's domestic problems as well as her political difficulties, he added.

Jews CaHad to Hslp in Primary NEW YORK (JTA) American Jews were called upon to help get out the vote In the forthcoming primary, local and national electkms.

Dr. Judah J. Shapiro, president of the Labor ZkMtlst Alliance, addressing the LZA's national executive committee, stated that "the conditkm of Jew* in any nation depends on how good a democracy It Is." The Jewish position,

Shapiro observed, "becomes reduced In circumstances where the economy and democracy are weak. It is therefore a genuine Jewish concern that the United States be strengthened for itself as well as for the ability of American Jews to come lo the aid of Israel and Jews in need everywhere." The need, he stressed, is to overcome the apathy and the Indifference to the democratic proceaa.

What's your pleasure these days, wtien spring Is a long time off and the recession Is still with us?

Is It romance? Intrigue? Dreams of far-away places or catching up with international diplomacy? Folk music: Lapsing into nostalgia while you listen to tunes your grandmother used to hum?

Come. Allow yourself to be lured into a not-so-secrel place you may have forgotten about. These pleasures and more await you, as well as amazement, pride, astonishment and beauty.

Come to the Federation Library. As you know, it occupies a quiet space tucked among the art studios at the end of the long main corridor at ttie Community Center.

It's a pleasant place to be: it has the hush and smell and feel of places where things of the soul happen. Like synagogues. And art museums. And sunlit forests.

Walk in and enjoy! Begin anywhere — II doesn't matter at all. Isn't the room spacious and surprising? Veu know, Paul Veret spent most of his life buying and collecting almost everything that had anything to do with Jews and Jewish thought. The book collection Is 12,000 strong.

(Surely you will find a book or two that you will love!)

It's interesting that many of our most popular con- . temporary fiction writers are Jewish (the why and how is another slory). Bellow, Malamud, Stem, Mailer, Roth, Wouk, Uris — they're all Uiere In addition to many other line novelists not quite so famous, but whose books you'll enjoy.

Edythe Wolf, our Columbia-trained, personable, professional librarian, points out the recently organized sub-section of the library devoted entirely to books on The Holocaust. This section has approximately 250 volumes ranging from sociological analyses to memoirs to historical accounts to sleuthing sagas which led to the capture of Nazi war criminals. This section has 90 percent of everything printed on the Holocaust. It's a fascinating collection. Go and browse.

Equally ooniitele li an anarmaai adectton of books on Israel.

Are modem problems especially interesting to you?

Sample these recent titles: JEWISH INTERMARRIAGES: FACT AND FICTION, (1974); CONCERNING DEATH, (1974); SEX AND THE FAMILY IN THE JEWISH TRADITION (1967); NOW MOLLY KNOWS, (1974)—a novel about a young girl growing up between the 50's and the 70's; ADOLESCENT PREJUDICE. (1975); WRITE YOUR OWN WEDDING, (1973).

Do you need clarificatkin of the oil-and-Israel dilemma in the Mideast? Try one of these: ECONOMICS AND POLmCS OF THE MIDDLE EAST, (1975); UNEASE IN ZION, (1974); THE KISSINGER EXPERIENCE: AMERICAN POLICY IN THE MIDDLE EAST, (1975); DECISIONS IN ISRAEL'S FOREIGN POLICY, (1975).

And then, of course, there are volumes upon volumes on Jewish history; biographies of every Jewish personality you can think of, from Milton Berle to Martin Buber; Jewish cookbooks, archeology, art, sociology; books on Hasldiam and the Kabbalah - and on and on There Is virtually no end to the books or the stimulating subjects.

Faiasha Needs Are Great NEW YORK - A growing concern has developed for the Falashas - the Jews of Ethiopia.

Travelers throughout (he centuries have reported (be Falashas' existence. Once the Falashas were powerful warriors. For many years they were independent.

Jewish Faiasha kings and qiueens ruled over large parts of EthiopU. After (hey k»t their hidependence in (he 1600's. (he Falashas were denied the right to own land and were- farced to become poor iharecrappers.

(Continued from Page 1) And we haven't touched the volumes in the Library cherished by scholars from around the region, and sometimes from around the country — both Jewish and (jentUe — the greatest books on theology, ethics, biblical study, commentary. Rabbi Sidney H. Brooks of Temple Israel reports that, as a vehicle for promoting sound Judeo<}iristlan relations in our city and state, the Federation Library is one of our most important assets.

He often directs non-Jewish scholars to the Library with great pride, particularly to the theology and Dead Sea Scrolls sections.

Distinguished visitors to our library, such as the famous actor Joseph Wiseman, agree that it is one of the best community Judaica libraries in the country, rivaled only by major university libraries and those In the biggest cities. For those of us who might just want to glance at what the scholars study, there's' a new book titled EVERYMAN'S TALMUD, a comprehensive summary of the Talmud and its teachings.

After we visit the library, we might direct our young people there to do their term papers, research reports, or twolc reviews. If they can choMe their subject, why not encourage them to look around at the LIbrafy and pick a topic out of their cultural heritage which fascinates them?

Kibbutz life? Nazi psychology? Jewish feelings about intermarriage? Traditional versus modem Jewish concepts of sex? Jews in science, art, music, sports? Edie will be happy to help them on any project.

Remember the good old college days when we thrilled to a new idea, poured over a new book and then tried to convert our friends to the latest "best-book-I-ever-read"?

That excitement is still there. It's simply a matter of clearing away the grown-up problems and allowing that excitement to come back. (>pen the door to the Library at tlie Center and find out for yourself.

ooaparaiiva acaOB n BHraioa Hcnnqr Of ma •ivnan pao|m n laraBL The Conference has, in the last years, added acuities on behalf of Soviet Jewry. However, efforts to extend the activities of the Conference to other fields of Jewish concern met with strong resistance on the part of some of Its own members. The scope of the Conference is therefore limited.

The question of the relationships that exist — and that should exist — between Israel and the Jewish communities outside of Israel, especially the Jews of America, has been raised. Opinions show some Jewish leaders think American Jewry should be more than a source of fund-raising for Israel. Some Conference members indicated that American Jews feel themselves entitled to express their opinions — through their leaders - also on the lifestyle of the Jews in Israel, and on certain political issues as well These voices are now muted because of the need to show a united front of American Je« :-;' with regard to Israel ever since the Yom Kippur War.

vrnxcEOJua ... A few weeks ago I read an article about "The Price" which stated that the set (or the show woidd be the first to luve a ceiling on It at the J. I would like to correct that article by saying that the set for last year's productkm of "Tlie Tenth Man" had a fUU celling naming the entire length of the act and the stage, asl recall a length of some 40 feet and a width of 12 to 16 feet.

Becauae no organization wants to admit that its existence as a separate group is no longer essential, and that it could easily merge with another organlzatkm of a similar kind, it is difficult to achieve mergers. However, successful mergers have been effected in some fields and more mergers are expected.

At present, a suggestkm lor a merger between the American Association for Jewish ESducation and the National Foundation of Jewish Culture is being studied by the CJFWF Both agencies are active In closely related fields.

The field of the AAJE Is education. The field of the NFJC is culture. For some reason, aome Federations -not all - are making a distinction between financing Jewish education and Jewish cultural agencies. They refuse to finance Jewish cultural activities.

The matter of merging the AAJE and the NFJC Into a united natkmal instrument in the field of Jewish education and culture was widely discussed last Novemtier at the General Assembly of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds. Steps toward merger are in the nuking and definite recommendations will be submitted to the next UFWF C^eneral Assembly scheduled in Ptiiladeiphia next November.

It was acknowledged at the Assembly that txith Jewish education and culture are essential ingredients in the search for greater Jewish identity, greater Jewish commitment, and for the preservation and survival of American Jewish children as Jews.

Jewish communal life in this country Is slowly going in the direction of voluntary centralization — of developing "roof organizations" coordinating the activities of groups engaged in similar fields of work.

Today, in addition to the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, we have the Synagogue Council of America as the roof organization of Jewish religioui groups of all denominations — Reform, Conservative and Orthodox We have the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council planning and coordinating all local and national agencies comtwtting anti-Semitism , and standing on guard for human rights. We ^have the American Asaodatkm for Jewish ['education advising and acting on Jewish ' educational problems and on the Jewish school \ ^stem. We have the National Foundations for

Prolesioc Benjamin Akzin, a distinguished political commentator, makes his own views quite clear In his scenario: Pressure by the U.S. and other "friendly" nation will compel Israel to enter negotiations with the PtO and give up most of the occupied areas The PU) will split. One section agrees to set up a Palestinian state, lor the time being only in the areas vacated by Israel. The other section refuses to give i^ its claim to the whole of Palestine and continues its terrorist raids info Israel with renewed ferocity.

OMAHA — The motton picture "The Hiding Place" li * rUm bued on the factuBl account ol a Dutch Christian's experience In helping Jews to escape the Nazis in World WarllHoaand.

The film was produced by World Wide Pictures, owned by evangelist Billy Graham. It is showing here through Sunday.

Due to our own experience, we can attest to the accuracy of the surroundings and the Incredibly cruel treatment *nieted out to the Inmates wtw had committed no crime. Never have we seen on the screen moments of such utter Jieartbreak and nightmarish Intensity.

While the production company of Frank R. Jacobson deierves acclaim for bringing the facts of man's Inhumanity to man to a complacent public who either have forgotten, didn't care or oooldn't accept the full truth, the moUvatkm of the film U neither realistic nor Justified.

as much as I k>ve you. And here is how to measure it - the greatest love Is shown when a person lays down his life for his friends', the ten Booms realized that kwe of tmmanity is really what the love of God is all about "We see also that their love for others often led them to assert that the law of GoA stands above tlie law of government. If the government demands that people violate the law of conscience, the govenunent regulations should be disobeyed.. Mr. ten Boom affirmed that the saving of precious human life must supercede adherence to a mandate ol government. ..

"However, the protest agalnat Nazis is not the central theme of this film. The main purpose of the film is to show how tiie Christian faith can sustain, nurture, and give direction to tlie lives of Individuals. . .The words "hiding place" refer not only to the sanctuary from oppresskm but also appear In a Psalm which describes Uodasa"HldingPlace"... . .Ttie producers of the film attempt to persuade Ui^ viewer that the Christian lifestyle is a rewarding and fulfilling one and stwuld be adopted. In other words, llieir Intent Is a missionary one.

"1 usually am aimoyed and upset by ttw premises and tactics of missionaries. I resent the implication that my Jewish faith Is Incomplete and Is In need of a supplement. . . ". . .Yet I must admit that never in this film did 1 note thai Judaism was regarded as an Inadequate rellgian. In fact, during the time the ten Booms housed refugee Jews In their hiding place, they were encouraged to observe the precepts and practices of Judaism. ..The ten Booms'. . loving behavior toward the Jewish victims of Nazism did not appear to be a tactk: for converting them toChristlanity. .."

In answer to another frequently asked question, Zalkin said that even those who don't know Yiddish will be able to understand the pmentation. This year's show is entitled "Lebn Zol Columbus", which means "Umg Live Columbus".

"First of all, the actors and singers introduce each number in English. And, too, there'll be plenty of people in the audience who'll understand Yiddish who will be ale to explain," he said.

Zalkin noted that YMdlah theater provides a distincUy Jewish form of entertainment which Is culturally enriching.

OMAHA-Brotherhood Month—and, indeed, the entire concept of brotherhood—has an even greater significafkce this year for at least one of OnuJia's congregations.

"This year, especially, we are seeing brotherhood at work," said Rabbi Barry L. Weinstein of Temple Israel, which sustained great damage In the 1975 tornado.

Specifically referring to Brotherhood Month activities, the rabbi said there would be no Interfalth Tea or Institute for Christian Clergy "but our program is continuing in various ways."

He said that on Feb. 5, the Temple Sisterhood had a luncheon with the women of the First Methoifist Church, the Temple's neighbor at e9th and Cass. An on Feb. 8, Rabbi Weinstein and the Temple Youth Group gave a program at the church to its youth groups.

But that wasn't all of Temple Israel's Brott>ert)ood activities this nomadic year, the rabbi noted.

Ell Blttner, the synagogue's ritual director; and Cantor Leo Fettman or Rabbi David Levin, the education director, address the groups. A synagogue spoliesman noted this aspect of tlie program is not limited to Brotherhood Month but Is offered yearround.

You probably know someone who often reaches for the phone instead of the phone book to get a number. That person is among ^the 30% of Northwestern Bell custonners who mal<e 90% of the calls to Directory Assistance. And three-fourths of the calls are requests for numbers already listed in the book.

All telephone users help pay for these calls, because Directory Assistance Is a part of everyone's phone bill. This year, at least $26 million of your telephone dollars will go to provide this service in the five states served by Northwestern Bell And that flqurc keeps growing.

To help control the cost of Directory Assistance, we need everyone's cooperation. You can help by keeping your telephone directory near your phone, and using it whenever you can to look up phone numbers.

We're here to help you when you really can't find a number.

But please, look in your book first.

Nebraska, Iowa Estimates Are Unchangeci

•

NEW YORK—Ncbrailu'i YORK-Ncbraika'i estimated Jewish population is 8,290 and Iowa's is 6,590. according to the JustpubUahed American Jewish Year Book for 1976.

The figures were the same In the 1975 edition of the book, published by the American Jewish OHiunittee and the Jewish Publication Society of America.

Tlie figures are based on estimates for each cominuiity after duplications were eliminated and adjustments made for "unlisted" Jews.

By iHHDNSiniMB Monday, Feb. 9, was a special day (or membere and guests of the Senior Adult

aub.

That's the stoiy from Mollie Delman, Older Adult coordinator at the Jewish (immunity Onter who's putting together a gala trip to Hawaii.

The eight-day, seven-night tour of three Islands, which leaves here on March 16, already has 14 older adults signed up. "I need six more - 20 altogether — In order to actually make the tour possible." said Mrs. Delman.

Sports Briefs Herb Brown, elevated from aimjtotut to head coach of the Dpnit Pistons of the NiiUonal Basketball Aasociatkw, is Ihe older brother of Larry Brawn, coach of the American Basketball Association champkm Denver Nuggets.

The Browns are believed the only Jewish head coaches in pro basketball today.

Randy Grossman, the smaUlsh (215 pounds) tight end for the world champkm Pittsburgh Steelers professional football team, finds it net unusual being one of the few Jewish gridiron stars now playing.

"I was the only Jewish player on the Temple University varsity during my junkM- aiKl sentor years, too," says the 2}-year-okl graduate with a degree in EngUah in an Interview with Nina Uston of the Cleveland Jewish News.

Groasman went into Super Bowl record books Jan. 18 with the 7-yard touchdown pass from qiuirterl>adi Terry Bradshaw that put the Steelen on the scoreboard i«atast Dallas.

He speaks to youth groups and says, "It's nkx seeing the kids play, whk:h is what youth

sports should realty be. Just play for learning and eivJoyment, not for serious, headdown competltkxi as some coaches and, unfortunately, some parents try to make it."
