Women's Federation Campaign 1977-78
'Creating a New Image' By Ducky Milder and Cookie Hoberman This year's Federation Campaign is directed toward TWO major goals: 1) raising money (or the "Jewish Cause" and, 2) bringing the women of our community together for a HAPPENING — emphasizing Jewish awareness. Our theme, "Creating A New Image" unfortunately DOES NOT refer to a reduction in the basic financial needs. Israeli Jews are still pressed by the threat of war. Soviet Jews are still locked Into an antl-Semetlc world. Omaha Jewish agencies such as the Sher Home and Jewish Press cannot operate without our support. "Creating A New Image" however, DOES refer to a change in the methods used in accomplishing our goals. In relationship to fund raising, our underlying assumption Is: that each woman must motivate herself to give. We can emphasize the needs. Publicize the data. But the decision rests with the individual. Only SHE knows what SHE feels. Only SHE knows her specific situation. We believe the cause "Speaks for itself." We believe every Jew understands the meaning o f . . . "We must care for our own." We are relying on each individual's "sense ot caring" . . . "sense of responsibility" to motivate herself. To motivate herself, to give the "very top dqllar." So, In the coming campaign we will be asking for an increase of 10 per cent over last year's gift. We will be asking 10 per cent to cover Inflation, and'/+" to cover the private (CbhUiluettohPage2>

Ws are asking that you reserve ONE DAY for the Federation Campaign. And we promise "it" will be a very special day! Which brings us to our other major goal - A HAPPENING—emphasizing Jewish Awareness. Federation Campaign "time" to us should also be a time of coming together. Gathering together as a Jewish community. A time when each of us takes pause — to look inward to reflect o n . . .our Jewish feelings. We are designing several "creative projects" to signify some of these "Jewish Reflections" and — WOW! — are we excited about these projects! Many of our community's most talented and creative women have volunteered their energies. They are collaborating their ideas to create original art projects emphasizing Jewish Awareness. On Feb. 23 (MARK YOU CALENDAR AGAIN!) at the Jewish Community Center you will be invited to a "guaranteed delectable" lunch and an "exciting" program. This same day will also include the private showings of three original art projects — an impressive lobby "sculpture"... a sensitive and revealing poster show... '• and, a personally meaningful slide presentation. A special day for a special group of women. "Creating A New Image" this year refers to changes in methods hopefully resulting in changes in perspective. See you February 23. (MARK YOUR CALENDAR ONE MORETIME!)

A Weekend to Remember (Continued from Page 1 > It w u apparent from the opening session that Dr. EUdiu did not intend to conduct a fixed standard of teacher lecturing to students at a Shabbaton whose theme' was "Meeting Your Jewish Self." Instead this was to be mainly a kneecap to kneecap series of two-some and foursome conversations and soul searching*. Shabbatniks sat in outer and inner circular rows facing each other; It was an "amuseical" chairs experience with Dr. Elkina feeding provocative topics and questions as each one addressed himself or herself to his or her opposite seated number on a penon-to-person or on occasion a couple-to-couple basis. The time allotted to open up without hesitation or apologies, for any one topic, was approximately three to five minutes. Then one moved on to another chair, another conversationalist, another subject. Thought provoking topics like . . . " . . . if a foreign power suddenly took over the United States and you were ordered to leave your home with but a single object, what would you take?" (A stddur appeared to be the most likely cholceof roost.) Other Ideas bandied about Included . . . should there be less Hebrew and more English translation In prayerbooks... it you were confronted with
merging with another synagogue would you prefer to blend with an Orthodox or Reform group. Other sessions' included evaluation of "What Is A Jew," Marriage and Family, Personal Ethics, Social Justice, Financial Generosity, Eretx Ytsrael and many others. Friday night services were held In the camp lodge. Shab-
bat morning services took place In the Kalab Franklin outdoor chapel with Rabbi Kenneth Bromberg of Beth El and Rabbi Mark Blsman of Tifereth Israel. The fusing of praying, learning, singing and sharing in a setting of spacious camp life was one of sweet serenity and one that will long remain in memory of those fortunate to attend.

Camp is Over for 1977, Even for the Ducks The last pony has bounced someone around for a ride this summer. The last cookout has smoked a trail above the beads of some hungry little campers. The last arrow has been aimed with beginner precision toward a target. And the last camp Shabbat candles nave flickered Into the memories of 345 children who attended Camp Funshlne, Recreationland Day Camp and Camp Ester K. Newman this past summer. , "The kids were satisfied, therefore, I am satisfied," commented Arlene Goodman, mother of Lisa tuuftadrea, three and onehalf-year-old twins, who attended Camp Funshlne for three to five year olds at the Center. "They thoroughly enjoyed themselves," she added. Lisa said she "read stories, played with toys and went swimming." Andrea "liked Clown Day best," because she got to put on makeup. She also enjoyed "playing beauty shop" so she could have her fingernails painted and her hair fixed. Camp Funshlne programs also Included weekly Shabbat cookouts and field trips to the Henry Doorly Zoo and the SAC Aerospace Museum. Timmy Kully, 5, has attended Camp Funshlne ever since it began at the Center three years ago. This was "the best session so far," said his mother Leslie. "It kept him nappy all summer." Timmy liked swimming best, but he also liked Pet Day when "we had about a million ducks, two rabbits and a goat named Julius," who Timmy gottotouchand feed. A total of 68 youngsters attended two sessions of Camp Funshlne this year. They were supervised by eight staff members and two teen-age volunteers. Nancy Epstein, who along with Barb Levitan, headed the committee for Recreationland Day Camp for five to nine year olds, gives much of the credit for the success of the camp to Athletic Director Chuck Arnold. "He starts working on the spring camp reunion In December. By the first of the year, Chuck is working on the summer program," she said. Recreationland was divided Into two three-week sessions this year and emphasis was placed on enjoying and learning about nature. Large tents were set up on the JCC grounds for arts and crafts. Ten counselors, three activity specialists as well as the Athletic Staff worked with the day campers. Both seven-year-old Mark Epstein and slx-year-ild Mike Levitan liked swimming the best, because, as Mike explained, "We gottogo off the diving board." Nancy said
that each child's background in swimming v/aa checked prior to his or her participation in Red Cross certified lessons. The live, six and seven year olds enjoyed a cookout at the end of their camp session. The Ahamo Indians performed and the children saw a puppet show. The eight and nine year olds spent one overnight at Camp Newman to climax their camping experience. Nann Gltnick 8, attended Camp Esther K. Newman In Louisville, Ne., this summer. "I Uked everything," she said. Her favorite activities were camp craft projects such as nature study, cookouts and campouts. Youngsters spend a month at Esther K. Newman and generally see their parents only once on Parent Day which was attended by approximately 300 mothers and fathers this year. "We feel Nann matured a great deal and expanded her Jewish background," said her mother Saranne. "The program was excellent this year," she added, "She really had a good time." Mara Slfry, 12, who has lived in Omaha almost a year, "met a lot of new friends" at "Esther K." Horseback riding was her favorite activity. Mara's mother, in a lettertoHerman Rubin, assistant director of the JCC, wrote, "It is very reassuringtous as a new family In town, to know that Omaha's Jewish community is capable, and does Indeed, run such a fine camp." Sandl Martin's ten-year-old son, Brian, "thought It was a great experienceforhim and a lot of fun. He missed home, but not enough to come back with us when we visited him oirParent Day," she said. Camp Newman was served, by 28 counselors, five activity specialists and seven other stall members. In addition to 90 boys and girls, ages eightto14, who attended Camp Newman in July, 565 other campers spent from one to two one-half weeks there at specialty camps, USY encampment, a District 66 outdoor education program for sixth graders, horsemanship and gymnastics camps. Other groups who used Camp Newman were Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity, about 60 older adults on Senior Citizens Day, ''District 66 school administrators and a group of University of Nebraska at Omaha students. They've all gsos borne sew — the children and the older campers, the staff, the volunteers and about a million ducks. Well, at least everyone who went to a JCC camp won't have any trouble thinking of something to write his or her traditional back-to-school essay on "What I Did Last Summer."

Randall Bare. NeU, one of the dan, was presented by Sandy Mathews of the Omaha Opera. Guild. NeU launched immediately into a number of well chosen songs, ranging from ditties, ballads and operatic arias to cantorial music. NeU proves that it is not the song, but the singer, that counts. A lovely voice makes the excitement more than the song itself. He could sing anything, and it would sound good. He is a handsome and presentable young man, with a voice of dynamic power and ringing resonance, always within the bounds of sweetness to the ear. Coupled with his charm and gracious personality, he possesses the requirements for success in his music career. The delicious dinner was lopped off with a birthday cake, baked especially for Ben Shapiro, Joe Rice, Alfred Frank, Ben Abrabamson, Sam Fishman and Leonard Siegel. The B e a u t i f u l Ballebawstehs were Elsa Kahn, Dorothy Lazarus, Ethel MlUer, Ann Lehman, Esther Hart, Rosalie Greenspan, Ruth Rice, Zelda Stalmaster, Ruth Levine, Rose Pine, Tee Frank, Leah Siegel and Ruth Shapiro — service not just with a smile, but with love!

Your Vote
To the Jewish Welfare Federation: I Just wantedtotake this time to thank all of you. Without all of your help I know that this summer's triptoIsrael would not have been possible for me. It really has meant a lottome and ly know that after only six weeks I have come back 100 per cent more educated. To further express my appreciation I wanttogive special thanks to both Shlomo Bendcrly and Mottl Arad. Believe me, I had my doubts about this whole idea and it was these two who gave me the confidence and initiative to make It. I find myself much more motivatedtostudy and learn about the Jewish relfgion and I do plantofurther my Hebrew education in the future. I can't begintoexplain or describe the great Impact that this trip has left on me, and I now realize how lucky and for tunate I wastobe given this opportunity. Thank-you all very much! ; ' 1 Sincerely, Shelley KlUla
