ByTamarLevy GENEVA (JTA) - The Presidium and Steering Committee of the Brussels World Conference on Soviet Jewry opened its semiannual meeting here with expressions of "grave concern" over the intensified Soviet campaign against Jewish emigration activists and dissidents which, it was claimed, exceeds In virulence anything experienced by Soviet Jews since the end of the Stalin era. ___-_ Delegates attending the meeting cited anti-Semitic articles in the Soviet press and anti-Semitic television programs and films _ currently being shown In the Soviet Union. Yosel Almogi, chairman of the World Zionist Organization and Jewish Agency Executives, who Is also Presidium chairman, said one of the most alarming developments In the USSR was 'the allegation that Jewish scientists Alexander Lerner, Vladimir Slepak and Anatoly Sharansky who have been cam: palgntng openly for years to obtain exit visas, belonged to a spy ring In the service of the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).. • Mrs. Shirley Goldstein said she was advised this week that her'friend, Anatoly Sharansky, has been arrested by the Soviets. Mrs. Goldstein met with Sharansky In September, 1975, and also In December, 1976, during two of her four trips to the Soviet Union. A story about one Of the visits appeared In the Jan. 21 issue of the Jewish Press. Mrs. Goldstein said Sharansky make a series of tape recordings concerning the plight of the Refusniks, exnininingwhat could be done to help them. These tapes, Mrs. Goldstein added, are now In Washington and will be used during the hearings on the Helsinki agreement. .

All Jews Threatened By Massive Petrodollars By Morris Mallne LINCOLN— Petrodollars are the greatest present threat to Jewish survival, and united action must be taken to counteract this • menace, an Israeli journalist said here last week. ; "Jews are no longer spectators applauding and weeping over Israel, but-are now In the ~ frontllnes facing menaces of monstrous proportions," said Israel Amitai. • Petrodollars, anti-Semitism, and the moral bankruptcy of world powers such as the United Nations have changed the structure of the world In the past couple of yean, Amitai said. " A guest of the Lincoln Jewish Welfare Federation, Amitai addressed members of : Congregation Tifereth Israel and also the annual meeting of the Federation.' Amitai said at the synagogue that petrodollars are being used to buy control of
media properties such as newspapers, radio and' television stations, as \vell as major hotels, office buildings business organizations and manufacturing companies. "Petrodollars now are dictating foreign policy in many parts of the world... Now, Jews are being dismissed from top corporate jobs because of an Arab bos? thousands of miles away,!'Amitai said. ' Petrodollars are forcing nations like France to their knees, and have made a mockery of the General Assembly of The United Nations. - •. "You can buy votes in the General Assembly . . . 15,000 for an ambassador if he can vote on his own, or maybe a million dollars If he needs the consent of his country's leadership" Amitai pointed out that there was a case of a delegate voting on a Zionism Issue without ,(Continued on Page 2)

A communique released to the press claimed that '"The upsurge of official anti-Semitism and the attacks oh the scientists are intended to subdue and crush the Jewish revival In the Soviet Union which expresses Itself in the return to Jewish religion, language and. culture as well as a longing for the homeland, Israel." The communique said that harassment was the lot-of Jews who apply for exit visas ofseek to study Hebrew. It said the recent ban on the Importation of matzoh for Passover and the arrest of Ioslf Begun of Moscow, a mathematician, on charges of "parasitism" were "a cause of grave concern not only for his fate but for the fate of hundreds of others who, like Dr. Begun, have been refused an exit permit to Israel and In consequence of their application, were dismissed from thelrwork."
Matzah For Russia; Demonstration Planned OMAHA — A demonstration for the right of Russian Jews to eat matzah will take place Sunday at 7 p.m. outside Beth Israel Synagogue, Mrs. Shirley G o l d s t e i n , cochairman of the Committee for Soviet Jewry, has announced.

"It's so ridiculous that the Arab bloc could automatically count on 87 votes if they wanted to change the Capitol of the United States from Washington to Seattle." Petrodollars also are bringing about a new type of anti-Semitism in business, Amitai said. Jews are being fired from firms in New -T.TQttfcCite rrihe stronghold of Judalsmin the world. -.-... At the Federation meeting, Amitai called upon Jews to unite in brotherhood and support Israel in its struggle for Jewish survival. "We can win, but the price for a Jewish homeland Involves blood, sweat and sacrifice," Amitai stated. He told the story of a friend of his who looked upon his son on the day of his Bar MJtzvah without joy in his eyes.
"How" can I be Joyful/' the friend said, "He's grown so fast and soon he'll be a soldier." Amitai spoke of the tank commander at the Golan during the Yom Kippur War, who wept as his young charges fell on the battlefield in the line of duty. ^ • He told of the woman who was called in for a casualty report.^ ••'"tell me," she pleaded, "Which of my sons 5 ^blThT? "Both are dead," was the answer she heard. The Yom Kippur War was devastating to Israertn terms of lost lives, said Amitai. He explained that the 3,000 dead that Israel suffered in just two weeks of battle would be the equivalent of the United States losing 240,000."This is the scope of the price that we have to pay," Amitai said.

Meanwhile, Rumania's Chief Rabbi Moses Rosen has related to Israeli authorities the names of 61 Jews knows to have perished in the earthquake.

Religious Issue JERUSALEM - Prof. Yigal Yadln's Democratic Movement for Change (DESH) is encountering internal difficulties over the perennially explosive issue of the favored status of religion In Israel. The movement, seeking Uhe broadest possible base In the May 17 elections, has endorsed the unwritten | status quo that has governed the government's relationship with the religious establishment since (he State was founded. But members of the strongly secular "Shinul" (Change) movement, headed by lawyerwriter Amnon Rubinstein, which joined DESH recently are reportedly restive over Yadln's apparent concessions to the religious elements. On the other hand, those favoring an accommodation, express concern that DESH has taken on m antl-reilgsciis image since the merger wfth "Shinul."
Israeli Diplomat OLSO (ZINS) - David Rivlln, former Consul General in New York and at present Israeli ambassador in Oslo, is in conflict with the Norwegian

He protested sharply against the declaration of a Norwegian minster who had visited a refugee camp in Lebanon' and thereafter bad accused Israel of being responsible for the Jiving conditions _of .the refugees: Ambassador Rivlln declared that the Arab leaders maintain the refugees under those conditions precisely In order to be able io say that Israel is at fault. The Norwegian government circles in Oslo expressed the feeling that Ambassador Rivlln had committed a diplomatic faux pas by his outburst. He answered that it was a personal reaction and not a diplomatic matter.
Atomic Scientists RABAT (ZINS) - In a letter to the editor of Cairo's "Akhber el-Yom" weekly, a scientist claims that Egypt has more atomic scientists than Harvard has teachers . . . "but much to my sorrow," he writes, "pur scientists here do absolutely nothing because of Egyptian bureaucracy." The reason for this, he claims, is that the Egyptian Atomic Energy Commission has fallen between the Ministerial benches: there Is nobody In Egypt today, he says, who can tell you whether the Commission falls under the sphere of the Ministry of Research or (he Ministry of Academic Affairs. .

There's Hope For 38 hours last week, Jews in Omaha joined with fellow Jews throughout the world in waitingout the terrorist occupation of B'nai B'rith headquarters in Washington. We all breathed a common sigh of relief when the episode ended. ' It wasn't until later in the week that we viewed by television the extensive damage that took place inside the building, and it is quite possible that we will have to wait for the trials before we get the full story of the occupation. • Why a Jewish building? One utterly absurd explanation might be the comment that was broadcast on nationwide television during a special news broadcast. " . . . the Jews owned the slave ships that brought the blacks over from Africa" This statement was made by the son-in-law of the Hanafi Muslim leader. Does it sound familiar? Is it any wonder that they had threatened to cut off heads and throw them out the windows? ''! This would be a typical Jewish/scapegoat story .were it not for an unusual ending. . _ '.

The Jewish Pram
ign Policy is Changing There lias been a remarkable change in U.S. policy. Departing from the amoral posture which has frozen American diplomacy (or decades, President Carter has been freely denouncing nations which violate human rights. And to give'concrete expression, the State Department Is curtailing aid to offending countries. It began early in the Carter Administration when the President responded to Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharny. Carter pledged that the United States "shall use our good offices to seek the release of prisoners of conscience." Carter also told Sakharov that "we will continue our efforts to shape a world responsive to human aspirations in which national of differing cultures and histories can live side by side In peace and justice." When asked at a press conference what his 'plans are to help victims of political repression, Carter said that the United States has a "responsibility and a legal right to express our disapproval of violations of human rights." This policy reached a climax when Secretary of State Vance told Congress that the United States was curtailing economic aid to Argentina, Ethiopia, and Uruguay—nations where human rights of citizens are violated because of their repressive regimes. Thus the President has made it clear that he is not singling out the Soviet Union, "I am trying to set a standard in our country and make my concern expressed throughout the world," be said. A moral principle in being inscribed in American policy and a Carter campaign pledge is being honored. All this Is of special Interest to this generation's Jews who have long protested against the cold Indifference displayed by diplomacy to brutal dictatorship. More than 30 years ago, at the UN charter conference at San Francisco, (he Jewish delegations comprising the American Jewish Conference and the American Jewish Committee, the World Jewish Congress, the Board of Deputies of British Jewry and the Canadian Jewish Congress, battled against a draft article In the UN charter which forbade intervention into domestic affairs. The war bad just ended and the world bad witnessed the first horrifying motion pictures of Buchenwald and Hitler's other concentration camps. Pointing to the failure of the democracies to curb Hitler early in his drive :
tor power, Use Jewish leaders pleaded In vain (or an international agency with power to challenge violations of human rights. The charter called (or the promotion of human rights and fundamental freedom. But when the Jewish organizations tried to change' "promotion" to "protection," they were defeated. In more recent years, Congress has often adopted amendments to various aid programs which would bar assistance to countries, such as Egypt, which, in defiance of'the UN Security Coundl, was blocking the Suez Canal to Israel's shipping. Invariably, the State Department fought against such legislation. "Errors and No Facts" Columnists Evans and Novak may be surprised to learn that thousands of General Electric J79 jet engines have been been manufactured over the past 15 years (or phantom fighter bombers and other aircraft—including dozens of U.S.-supplled war planes to South Vietnam's captured- Air Force. Yet the columnists hailed President Carter's "courageous -refusal" to permit Israel to sell Kflr fighter bombers to Ecuador because they use this engine—and its "highly classified components." Evans7 and Novak also reported the Ylgal Alton, Israel's present Foreign Minister, served In that capacity in 1971—when Abba Eban held that portfolio.

Holy Land Boys Schlump Reds Top Basketballers All Israel Is agog over what is projected as the finest sports accomplishment in the history of the State. In a period of four days the Israeli championship European Cup basketball team, the Maccabl Tel Aviv quintet, defeated Czechoslovakia's and Russia's best Cup teams on a neutral court in Antwerp, Belgium. For Use first time sine* Israel has entered European Cup competition that nation now, as of this writing and possibly for only a temporary period, leads all of Europe in the basketball semi-finals with a record of five wins In the course of play the Israelis automatically cinched two points against the aforementioned two Iron Curtain country units who refused to come to Israel to play and preferred to forfeit the points involved. ' Not only did they not come to Israel, but insisted they would not host Maccabi Tel Aviv in their own country and the games.were shifted to Belgium with disastrous results for the East European nations.

The Federation of International Basketball Associations, of which Israel is a member, will have an Intercontinental Cup series going this year involving the United States. There *was a similar series played last year, but Israel was not invited to participate.

Two games remain on Israel's schedule in the semifinal play for the European championship and they are both road games. The Israelis have to play Italy, a team which defeated the Maccabi Tel Aviv five handily in Israela few weeks ago with this writer looking on as a spectator. In addition, they must make a trip to Spain to play Real Madried in a return contest, having defeated the Spanish aggregation earlier in Tel Aviv.

Keogh, IRA Plans Forisrael Bonds Although many financial institutions have been advertising the tax shelter features of retirement plans, It is not generally known that a growing number of these Institutions permit the purchase of 4.4 per cent Israel Bonds and 7.5 per cent Industrial Development Bank of Israel Capital Notes for pension portfolios. Josephthal & Company, a stock brokerage house with off i c e s in New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Florida and California offers such plans and has advised that Israel Bonds and IDBI Capital Notes will be bought for these plans on the same nocharge basis as they make available for other securities. This should be of substantial benefit to those who want to support Israel in this manner. There are numerous advantages hi Investing pension

funds In 5.5 per cent Israel Bonds, the foremost being that Bonds are redeemable for full principal and accrued interest on 90 days' notice. Minimum purchaces are $2,500 for Keogh and IRA Plans. 7.5 per cent Capital Notes of the Industrial' Development Bank of Israel are available for purchase In multiples of $1,000. Although these Notes are not general obligations of the State of Israel, the Israel Government has Indicated Its intention to purchase such. Notes in the open market on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange after the completion of the of1 ferlng at prices that will be no lower than 90 per cent of par. An Israel tax levied on the interest received from all 7.5 per cent Capital Notes purchased by Individuals (and the corresponding foreign tax credit) Is not imposed when these Notes are purchased by qualified pension plans or tax exempt institutions. Starting with 1976, contributions to Keogh or corporate pension plans dp not have to be made until the time of filing Individual or corporate returns. This allows for either 1976 or 1977 Bond commitments to be satisfied by such pension plan contributions.

See 'Enter Laughing' J3y Carol Lowe __ OMAHA - " E n t e r Laughing" Is a light hearted, comical play based on Carl Reiner's autobiography. It is not a play that will have you rolling in the aisles all night, although there are moments, but you won't stop giggling or chuckling either. This well cast play brings to "the stage a number of memorable performances. We ;foii6w-onr main character David Kolowitz, played by Dennis Smith, as he pursues : U s dream from a machine shop to the stage. Smith has us always chuckling, and often thinking how like David we all were at one time or another. Efavld's life is intertwined with many others. David's "mend Marvin, piayed by Richard Nassau, keeps us entertained as he continually tries to find out what really happened. Bob Lovett and Miriam Shrler (Mr. and Mrs. kolowitz) like other concerned parents try to steer David . to a more stable career. One of the most dynamic characters in the play is Marlowe. Marlowe the actor. Marlowe t h e D i r e c t o r . Marlowe the Magnificent. Marlowe, played by Seymour
Gojdjton,. is a deljghtful character. One can not forget to mention the rest of the cast,' each of whom add flavor and joy to the evening; David Rosenberg, Linda Moore, Jack Frost, Lowell Thomsen, Carol Dean, Jeannie Gllinsky, Vicki Sayles, Howard Iiorden and Tom Adams. i n8 Siogc, uCSigncu i*y usc« Schmidt, places us in many different iiines- miu piuCes with ease and delight. The entire production under the direction of Gloria Ilensley, Is one that must not be missed. Final performances of "Enter Laughing" will be given at the Jewish Community Center's Center Stage on Saturday and Sunday at 8 p.m. and 2 p.m. respectively. Tickets may be purchased at the Jewish Community Center.

a ring for Pesach This year Pesach begins on Saturday night, April 2. A rare event, this will recur only twice more in the 20th Century (1981 and 1994). Previously in this century, Pesach began on Saturday night only eight times (1903,1910,1923, 192?, 1930,1950,1954, and 1974). Since Erev Pesach is also Shabbat, there are some unusual features to this year's preparation for Pesach. On the one hand, we should refrain from eating Matzah •-• the day before Pesach. This helps to insure that eating Matzah at the Seder will be an impressive and even
remember how God saved Israel from the terrible punishment of the tenth plague, However, it has become customary to finish studying a section of the Talmud on this day. We view this as a Simcha and the fist bom are allowed to join in a celebration meal.
PKEPAR1NG THE HOME FOR PESACH Passover, the festival of freedom, begins as Uie stars come out Saturday, April 2, 7:20 p.m., (the !5th day of Nisan) and ends 30 minutes after sundown (7:30 p.m.), Stiijuuy, npii't < 0. Tin ougiiuut tiic eigiii tiny a of ihe festival we abstain from eating any "chameU" or leaven. Chametz is the fermented product of the five following types of grain: wheat, barley, spelt, oats and rye. The rabbis have added rice, millet, corn and legumes. This also refers to combinations of these with other foods and derivitlve products. Apart from its observance in the Synagogue, Pasach has a unique place in the Jewish home because of the Seder and because of the changed atmosphere in the home during the Passover week, This Passover borne at-, mosphere Is created each year by the tradilonal practice of thoroughly cleansing the home in all its parts and by the removal of all -chametz or leaven in preparation of the welcoming of Pesach. The term chametz or leaven Is applied not only to foods, whose use is to be avoided during Pesacb, but also to the dishes and utensils in which foods are prepared or served during the year. Following is a suggested guide for passoyer observance. . FOODS DURING PESACH 1. Forbidden for use: The following foods are forbid- > den for use durng Pesach r Bread, leavened calces, • biscuits and crackers, cereals, coffee substances derived from cereals, wheat, barley, oats, rice, dry peas and dry beans, and all liquids which contain in- . gradients or flavors made from grain alcohol. , 2. Permitted foods; V a. If~ certified for Passover use by rabbinical ' authority: matzot, matzah flour, Passover noodles, [ • candles, cakes, beverages, canned and processed r foods, milk, butter. Jams, cheeses, jellies, relishes, dried fruits, salad oils, vegetable gelatin and shortenIngs, vinegar, wines, and liquors. Labels and tabs . .fruits, marked ''Kosher L' Pesach" are of no value unless they bear rabbinical signature. b. Requiring no "Kosher V Pesach" label: Fresh fruits and vegetables (except peas and beans, but string beans arc permitted ). Fruits and those
On the other hand, it is a time-honored custom to eat three meals on Shabbat, at least two with bread, in order to recite Hamotzi and Blrkat Hamazon. Yet since Pesach begins Saturday night, we have to be ready for the holiday by Friday noon. All of our chametz should be destroyed or sold by noontime Friday, April 1. Accordingly, the following procedure Is to be followed: 1. Bedikat Chametz—The search for Leaven should begin after sundown on Thursday, March 31. The entire family should search the house for chametz. 2. Blur Chametz—On Friday, April 1, the chametz should he destroyed or burnt by 12:30 p.m. By this time the stove should be koshered for Pesach and all cooking should be done.. In Pesach pots and utensils. The dishes should be changed as well. Food required for Shabbat as well as for the First Seder, should be cooked on Friday. All cleaning and preparations for Passover should be completed before candle-lighting on Friday. There should be no cooking on Shabbat. 3. Because of the technical problems Involved in eating challah for your Shabbat meals, I strongly recommend that Egg Matzah be used for Erev Shab- bat dinner and for Shabbat lunch. Motzi and Blrkat Hamazon are recited when Egg Matzah Is eaten with a meal. It is Important that we eat only Egg Matzah on Shabbat. There must be a distinction between the matzah eaten on Shabbat and the Matzah used for the Passover Seder. Only plain Matzah may be used for the Seder; it should not be eaten on Erev Pesach. No. adult should eat anything after 4:30 p.m. on Shabbat since we are commanded to enter Pesach with a hearty appetite. 4. Tne Seder—The Seder should begin after the stars come out, approximately 7:30 p.m. Saturday evening. FASTOF THE FIRSTBORN Since Pesach falls on Saturday night, the fast of the first born falls on Thursday, March 3. On this day" we
vegetables normally permitted for Passover use are permitted in their frozen state if they are not precooked or processed. The following foods are permitted if they are in unopened packages or containers: natural coffee, sugar, tea, salt, and pepper. DISHES AND UTENSILS Only dishes and utensils especially reserved for Passover should be used. The following are exceptions to tills g€iici~ai iliic'.
.
1. a. Silverware, knlveii, forks, spoons and cooking " utensils made whoiiy of raeiai, used during tire year, may be used on Passover, it first they are thoroughly cleansed and not used for at least 24 hours and then immersed in boiling water. It is customary to follow this immersion with rinsing in cold water. b. All table glassware is permitted for use after soaking for 72 hours, changing the water each 24 hours. c. Baking utensils used during the year cannot be used during Passover. 2. Earthenware, snan>e!ware and porcelain utensils used during the year may not be used on Passover. 3. The stove and oven are prepared for Pesach by thoroughly scrubbing and cleansing all parts and turning on all burners until oven and grates are red hot or j n t l i they become so hot that if touched by a piece of paper the paper will be singed. 4. Dishwashers may be used for Pesach after thorough scouring with boiling water. A new tray is preferred. 5. All utensils to be "kashered" should be cleansed and "kashered" before candle lighting time, Friday, April 1. BEDIKAT AND MECH1RAT CHAMETZ In addition to refraining from eating chametz dur•-• ing Pesach, we are Instructed to remove all chametz • from our homes. In order not to find any chametz, like bread crumbs, during Pesach, we search every corner'of the house where we store or have eaten chametz. This search is called "Bedikat Chametz". and should be done Thursday night, March 31, by candlelight. In order not to own any chametz, i.e., all those food products we can't seem to throw away, we gather It together in one place and authorize the rabbi •'• to sell it to a non-Jew not bound by the Passover law. This buyer agrees that if he cannot meet the final payment by the conclustion of Pesach, he will sell all of it back to us. Reprinted from the Lincoln Tlfereth Israel Bulletin -
