Festival of Shavuot agricultural connection, Sbavuot finds many of our synagogues and homes decorated with flowers, green branches, and plants, (something for all girls with all that good taste and decoraviteability). In modern Israel, hardly a child can be seen on Shavuot who Is not wearing a garland of flowers. Bikkurim processions, or parades, are l>eld in that land even to this day, with thousands of children participating. In the larger cities of America, also, open-air Bikkurlm festivals are celebrated. It is an important fact that on this holiday we read in the synagogue the lovely story of Ruth, a Moablte girl who embraced Judaism and displayed remarkable qualities of faithfulness and loyalty to her mother-in-law Naomi.
(Continued from Page 1) customs and traditions. First, there is the facinating MISHMAR idea, that of organizing groups to stay up all night and study the Torah. For this purpose, TIKKUN LEL SHAVUOT was set up. This consists of sentences from the beginning and end of every bock cf the Bible and Mishnah, to be read on Shavuot night. Schools like the Yeshivah University In New Vorfe and the Hebrew Theological College in Chicago have interesting all-night sessions, with coffee and honey cake served about five In the momng. It is said that the popular custom of eating milchlgs, or dairy foods, cheese cake, bltntzes, started from these Mishmar servings of dairy foods and refreshments. Another reason for the custom is that the Torah has often been likened to "milk and honey." As part of the morning services for Shavuot, special AKDAMUT, or beautiful lines of poetry, are recited. These selections tell of Israel's great devotion to the Torah, and how we all look forward to a much better and kinder world some day in the future. Since it - Is also a holiday with an
The final lesson of Shavuot Is that of InUelligent appreciation and gratitude. When the farmer brings bis first fruits to the Temple, he expressed appreciation of the fact, that without the aid of God in the matter of rain, sunshine, wind and other needs all his efforts would have been hi vain. «
Israel Unveils New Tank '
(Continued from Paget) Development of such a tank by Israel has long been rumored in professional publications, Including the American Armed Forces Journal, Confirmation that it exists was made only after President Carter promised last week that the U.S. will continue to assist Israel to manufacture weapons for its defense.
The Merkava is heavier than the American Patton tank, the British Centurion or the'Russian T-62. It is armed with a 105 mm. cannon which gives It fire power equal to that of any other tank but it Is said to have greater mobility. Its flat turret makes for the lowest silhouette of any known
The Merkava is driven by a ' 900 hp American-made engine manufactured by Teledyne Continental Motors. Otherwise it represents an entirely Israeli conception and design that has been in the making for seven years and is credited to Gen. (Res.) Israel Tal, the former armored corps coromamter who directed the giant tank battles of the Yom KlppurWar.
tank. Its engine is in the front, allowing for a rear escape hatch for its crew, a revolutionary safety feature.
The Merkava normally will carry a four-man crew but it .can transport 10 fully equipped Infantrymen In addition to a payload of6210S mm. shells.

Operation Shadchen A bright and attractive 25-year-old single adult says that she finds it difficult to meet eligible young men in Omaha. We hear similar stories from Lincoln, Des Moines and other communities. Many of our young adults flee to Houston, Chicago, and other major metropolitan centers with the expectation that it will be easier to find dating companions away from home. There would appear to be a need in this area'for a way to bring our young people together — a meeting place for the 18-30 group —an opportunity for them to meet and date eligible Jewish boys and girls. We suggest that some consideration be given to viewing the need as regional rather than local. We here in Omaha are blessed with several' synagogues, a splendid JCC with a highly trained professional staff, and a remarkable Camp Newman. V Let's put them all together and make Omaha an exciting place for young Jewish adults. We have the facilities. We have the leadership. We have the opportunity. All we need is the desire.

They stressed the fact that parents have the right to tell their children that they are uncomfortable with certain words their children might use or some of the questions they may ask. According to Bones and Williams, the best way to - answer your children's question is as honestly as you possibly can. Many parents are surprised to learn that when approached honestly,
