Following a trend common in many Jewish communities, the Jewish Federation of Omaha has modernized and shortened the name used to describe its fund-raising drive, according to Leonard (Bud) Goldstein, Federation president. Referred to for many years as the Jewish Philanthropies of Omaha, the fund drive will more simply be called the ' Combined Federation Campaign, or the Federation Campaign. Workers have reported for many years, , according to Goldstein, that members of the community, when approached for their donations, have been confused about the relationship between Philanthropies and the Federation. He said that many contributors seem unaware that the Philanthropies drive was the fund-raising arm of the Federation. The funds are used to support Jewish activities in Oinaha, such as the Sher ; Home, the Center, the Jewish Press, Jewish Family Service, among others,- and are

distributed to the Federation's major beneficiary — the United Jewish Appeal. That agency, in turn, channels its money to Israel and other national overseas agencies. The new name, said Goldstein, will communicate more clearly the Federation's role In the community, and allow it to be recognized for what it does and what its prune responsibilities are: fund raising; budgeting and community long-range and short-range planning. ' The Campaign symbolizes the concept of central fundraising for Jewish needs, add-

ed Goldstein, and by attaching the word "Federation" to the fund drive the Board feels, the community can become more aware of the important role of the Federation in the organizing, running, directing and carrying through of. this critical function. The word "Combined" which will appear on the new pledge cards indicates that the Omaha Federation raises money for Israel, Omaha and national Jewish needs. "We have a great responsibility to fund Jewish programs all over the world," said Goldstein.

Economy Measures Introduced JERUSALEM, (JTA) Israel was plunged into a new economic era when the government announced the abolition of currency regulations and other sweeping measures aimed at creating a free economy that it claimed would stimulate investments, foreign and domestic, revitalize exports, reduce imports and put the nation on the road to self-sufficiency and fiscal solvency.

The first move was to establish a free-floating currency. The Israel Pound which stood at slightly over 10 Pounds to the dollar was expected to drop to 15 Pounds to the dollar. The predictable^ wave of panic buying ensued as thousands of consumers rushed to stock up on all manner of items before prices soar to record highs. Prices began an (Cont(nucdonPage5) *

Years ago, under the Labor Government, a special subunit of the army had been set up, known as Naiial, to provide military auspices for precisely the same political pro-am — settlement on the soU. , . Timing? The hardening of the Carter line began a long time ago, and the Gush Emunim provided replies far more effective than resolutions of protest. Perhaps the whole political situation with respect to the West Bank might have been quite different if immediately after the Six-Day War Israel had embarked on a far-reaching settlement program In the occupied areas. Precedents? The first "foolhardy" settlement at Klryat Arba, outside Hebron, was roundly condemned. The Golda Melr-Ylgal Allon Government later came to recognize its value, provided help, and Klryat Arba is how a township with a population of almost 2,000. The Gush Emunim group, of Eilon Moreh was moved into

Kaddum army camp by Yitzhak Rabin two years ago, and has prospered there to the extent of now operating several small but successfully growing Industries: ceramics, gir/s' dresses, metalworklitg, etc. The pioneers who settled Petach Tikva a hundred year* ago were foolhardy. The chalutzlm who established kibbutzim in the Ernek fifty years ago were, moved by Zionist and S o c i a l i s t mysticism. The settlers of the Stockade and Tower era, forty years ago, were taking very great risks. But each of these group* contributed to the strengthening of the State of Israel.

students enrolled. "We're at an experimental stage right now," said Dr. Weintraub, "But we plan on building up our program." The class originated through the enthusiasm of Sarah Ross. "It is important for Jewish students to know their language," said Miss Ross, a junior at Central. Miss Ross presented her request, a list of interested students, and an extensive list of reasons why the course should be offered, to Dr. G. E. Moller, principal of Central High. Dr. Moller was Impressed with the list and approved the course. . The seven students who are taking the course are Dan Renn, Sarah Ross, Ronna Cooper, Robbie Kolnock, Barbara Fraidenraich, Alan Karp, and Laura Ross. "I'm not only enriching my Hebrew knowledge," said senior Ronna Cooper, "But; I'm also beginning to feel closer to Judaism because I can now read a few prayers. In Hebrew." -. But for junior Dan Renn It is a change of pace from the regular curriculum.. " I wanted to learn Hebrew because I'm Jewish," «aid Renn, "And to me, knowing Hebrew is part of being Jewish." Even though it is a strictly, conversational, Hebrew class,* there promises to be a lot of hope. "If the course Is continued next year," added Dr. Weintraub, "I'd like to see a Hebrew Club started."

Carmel Seeks a Future In Federation Work

By Stu Chapman The JCC has a new boys wrestling program and its off to a good start. The program is made up of boys from the first to fourth grades, and although the boys are small in size for this sport, they have a large amount of enthusiasm and enjoy being "Junior matmen." Wrestling provides a good background for developing physical stamina for other sports, such as football and track. However, wrestling also helps to build mental Stamina, a necessary ingredient for any athlete to have . when in competition. There are 10 boys enrolled in the JCC boys wrestling program. They are Jeff Roberts, Steve Roberts, Dave Picket, Mike Ryan, Dean Meyers, Josh Zweiback, Philip Bahar, Brian Campbell, Dan Holtz and Mark Passer. At the end of the 10 week program period, these boys will be matched up according to weight and will compete in an inter-class meet. The meet could be exciting in that It • looks as if there may be some pretty .good wrestlers in this .group. . The boys wrestling program meets every Sunday from 3 to 4 p.m. at the JCC, and any boy who wants to wrestle may come in and sign up.

A Feeling Called Israel By Frank Lipsman Only as 1 stood near Kinn e r e t , s u r r o u n d e d by Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, did I realize the meaning and importance of a Jewish country, and the necessity for us to support It. I was surrounded on all borders by hatred, yet I felt the sense of security that was exuded from the tiny country of Israel. This .was the experience of Israel, something I had never felt during the countless lectures and classes I had taken on the subject. During the next few weeks, on my tour of Israel I had easy and rough times, but I was constantly reminded that I was in my own country. In Tel Aviv, I happened to meet a man named Dr. Shim. shoni, an orthodontist. He took a couple of friends and myself on an amazing tour of 014 Yaffo and Tel Aviv. But to him that was not enough: As he dropped us off at our hotel on the outskirts of the city, he paused to remind us that Israel was our country, and that It would always be there. Here was a man — not a politician, not a rabbi, not even a tour guide — just an Israeli who was concerned about fellow Jews. It was as if he had invited us into his own home to live. He articulated what I had always known, but had never fully understood before.

At Tel Yitzhak, between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, my group participated in a Holocaust seminar called Massua. After years of Hebrew school and Holocaust studies, I tried to figure out why it was no longer difficult to listen and understand the horrible tales we were being told. I ultimately decided that it was the atmosphere. Here I was, standing in a country of Jews, and I was at ease with my position and secure in the

He is the author of seven volumes in the field of American Jewish history. There will be an Oneg Shabbat following the service." Ail are welcome and cordially invited to attend.

By David Fetnberg His friends thought he was joking. His brother was stunned. His father kept asking, "Are you sure this Is what you want to do?" He was sure, all right. And over the past few years he has felt "more secure I made the right choice." David Slivken enjoys being a librarian. Wait a minute. Haven't we heard this story before? Remember the young easygoing Jew who worked in a Bronx library, who fell in love with and almost married a rich Catholic girl? Remember how hard it was for him to gain her parents' begrudging acceptance? Dave's story has not been as dramatic as Hie movie "Goodbye Columbus," but he knows the conflict between personal choice and social "expectations. That conflict is now a thing of the past. In fact his parents, Robert and Francis Sliyken of Waterloo, now think It's great, he says. Dave's interest in libraries goes- back several years to when he was studying political

science at the University of Iowa. He and a schoolmate frequently quarrelled over questions of fact. "We would just sit and argue," Dave remembered. The ultimate place to settle these disputes was the main library. That was when Dave began to notice the variety of books and magazines on display. After receiving his first degree, Dave stayed to earn his master's in libraryscience. When he graduated in 1976, he accepted the betterpaying job offer and wound up at Westside Branch Library, 5000 Franklin in Des Moines. He has worked there 16 months as a readers' adviser. In addition, Slivken chairs the Iowa Library Association's Legislative Committee. Like in any other career" there is room for advancement. Dave aspires to do administrative work at an academic Institution. Essentially, he wants more responsibility. When he is not answering phone calls, reading stories to children, or just helping readers find books, Dave spends time jogging, learning to paint, or trying to master a backhand for paddleball. He said he would probably join Tifereth Israel Synogogue after the holidays. Slivken was born In Dubuque In 1933, but his family soon moved to Waterloo. He g r a d u a t e d from West Waterloo High School In 1971. His father Is manager of Larry's Clothes.
