In the fight for freedom the banner of rebellion was raised against the tyranny and bigotry of Antiocbus. • In his efforts to unify his vast kingdom, he tried, to stamp out the Jewish religion. Immediately guerilla bands of Jews under the Inspired leadership of the Maccabee brothers began raiding -and ambushing his armies. Against apostates and traitors within, and trained
legions without, the arms of the Jewish guerilla forces were crowned with victory. According to historic books of "The Maccabees" that are
found In the Apocrypha, on the 25th of Klslev the Temple wfiT deansed of its desecration, and rededicated to the worship of the one true God.

A Weekend to Remember Rabbi Irving Greenberg will be in Omaha Friday through Sunday as the scholar-in-residence for the community's First Annual Kallah Weekend. From what we have seen in reports from other Jewish newspapers, and from what witnesses to his lectures have said — this promises to be an exciting weekend. The synagogues have revised their schedules encouraging their respective members to participate in the entire program of four lecture-discussions. Rabbi Kenneth Bromberg of Beth El Synagogue set the stage for his congregation last week by discussing the emancipation of Jews — leaving it to Dr. Greenberg to describe the future* of Jewish Life. <-" • We are confident that other congregations also have been enlightened a s to what they can expect from this period of intensive Jewish studies. Every member of the Omaha Jewish Community is encouraged to attend all four presentations. This is a weekend to participate In for enrichment of Jewish life.

IsraelisHave Wide Choice of Newspapers HAIFA — If a free press is Any measure of democracy, Israel certainly leads the world. This little country, with a total population less than most major metropolitan cities, has no less than 27. daily newspapers — 14 in Hebrew, four in Arabic, and one each in English, French, Yiddish, Polish, German, Hungarian, Rumanian, Bulgarian and ' Russian. They also offer a broad gamut of political viewpoints. Perhaps the leading newspaper, often called the New York Times of Israel, Is Haaretz, an independent private journal owned by the Schocken family. It is neutral in politics, and bases its editorial policy on each Issue individually. Its tendency is somewhat to the right of center, what would be called In Europe Liberal. Relatively colored editorializing can be found in three other dailies; Davar, official organ of the Hlstadruth; Al Hominhtrjpn, mouthpiece of the Hapam party; and Hazofeh, official publication of the National Religious Party (Mizrachi).

Al Hal-Nissim For The Miracles... We thank You for the miraculous liberation, mighty deliverance, and heroic victories which You helped our ancestors achieve in ancient days at this season. In the days of the High Priest Mattathias, son of Yohanan of the Hasmonean family, a cruel power rose up against Your people Israel, demanding the abandonment of Your Torah and the violation of Your commandments. In Your abundant mercy, You stood by Your people in their time of distress. You championed their cause, vindicated their rights, and avenged their suffering. You delivered the strong into the hands of the weak, the many into the hands of the few, the corrupt into the hands of the just, and the arrogant into the hands of those devoted to Your Torah. r Thus You revealed Your glory and holiness to the " "world, while bringing a mighty deliverance to Your peo- " pie Israel. Then Your children came into Your Temple, purified ,„ Your sanctuary, kindled lights In Your sacred courts, and established these eight days of Hanukkah in gratitude and praise. —Special prayer of thanksgiving inserted into toe daily liturgy and Grace After Meals during the eight days of Hanukkah

FOR PALM SPRINGS
/ Letters to The Editor ] To the Editor: Two years' ago I was privileged to hear and learn from one of the most colorful and exciting speaker-teachers on the American Jewish scene, Dr. Irving Greenberg, fondly known as "Yltz" to his many friends and admirers. Just three weeks ago, again at the General Assembly of the Council of Jewish Federations,"! sat in a crowded and stilled ballroom as Rabbi Greenberg held more than 1,800 delegates spellbound with his dynamic presentation
about the Holocaust. » What a privilege lor Omaha Jewry to have this outstanding man here this week-end as our Kallah scholar-iri-rcsldence. What a thoughtful Hanukkah present for all of us from the Jewish Cultural Arts Council! Hopefully no adult or teenager will miss this unusual opportunity to grow Intellectually from Dr. Greenberg's brilliant thinking, enjoy his quick wit and humor, rejoice as we are inspired and electrified.

Palestinian Policy Explained ;
(CSootinued from Page 1) tb*partiestoth*confllct. They are as follows: Full peace, Including open borders, commerce, cultural exchanges, end official relationships; in sum, a full and normal relationship between Israel and her Arab neighbors. We believe this U essential to give Israel confidence that the intentions of its neighbors are peaceful .and to create conditions and new attitudes that will make future wars unlikely and thus help ensure .Israel's long-term survival. Territorial Issue. Based on efforts over the 10 years since the 1967 war to help resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict, such a peace win vs most difficult to achieve if it involves Israeli retention of substantial territory occupied in that war. Without prejudging exactly where final borders should be, it is our view that major changes In the 1967 lines are not consistent with U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, which all the governments concerned have accepted as the basis for a settlement and which envisages the exchange of occupied territory for recognition and peace. It Is our belief that only by acceptance of the principles of territorial withdrawal on all fronts and full peace can there be a realistic chance for negotiations to succeed. We also believe that there should be effective security arrangements agreed to by the parties In order to help make the settlement both durable and credible and to make recognized borders secure, as called for in Resolution 242. Palestinian Issue. A solution must be found to what is not merely a humanitarian issue, but has become increasingly a political reality in the years since 1967. In this connection, the President has suggested the concept of a homeland for the Palestinians, the nature and political status of which should be negotiated by the parties concerned. We are fully cognizant of and sympathetic to the Israeli security concerns that such a concept arouses. At the same time, it is important that this issue be resolved in a way that the bulk of Palestinians as well as Israelis can accept. In order not to leave residual resentments which would threaten the peace. As you doubtless know, the Vice President stated on June 17 in San Francisco our preference that a Palestinian entity be linked with Jordan. To achieve the kind of peace which will endure, therefore, the United States has stated publicly Its conviction that it is essen-
tial that Palestinian, representatives participate in the peace negotiations at Geneva. As the President said In his press conference of Sept. 29, "It is obviousto*me that there can be no Middle ^Eastern peace settlement without adequate Palestinian representation." How they will be represented is, of course, a matter to be agreed on by all the participants in the Conference, Including Israel. Our position on assuring "legitimate rights" of the Palestinians in the final settlement is also clear. In their Joint statement of Oct. 2, the United States and the Soviet Union, as cochairmen of the Conference, made clear their view that these rights must be the subject of negotiation at the Conference. Furthermore, these Palestinian rights are to be only one component of an agreement which must assure the security and recognize the existence of Israel in genuine peace. I am enclosing the Middle East portion of President Carter's address to the United Nations General Assembly on Oct. 4, which also dealt with the Palestinian rights issue. I would like to assure you as well that the position of the United States concerning the Palestine Liberation Organization remains unchanged. The United States will not recognize or negotiate with the PLO as long as it does not recognize Israel's right to exist and d6es not accept Resolution 242, the only agreed framework for peace negotiations. The President has said that we have a commitment to Israel to act In this manner and that we fully intend to honor that commitment. All of our actions with respect to possible contacts with the PLO have been completely consistent with that commitment. . Finally, the U.S. commitment to Israel's security, welfare and survival under this Administration remains strong and enduring. Our dedication to the search for peace in the Middle East Is based on the conviction that the achievement of a Just and lasting peace negotiated between the parties to the Arab-Israeli conflict is fully consonant with and supportive of our commitment to Israel and the best assurance of Israel's long-run security. Sincerely, Hoddlng Carter III Assistant Secretary forPubllc Affairs and Department Spokesman

Senator Dick Glark Speaks in Iowa City In a speech In'Iowa City on Nov. 13, Senator Dick Clark said, "The friendly exchanges of the last few days between Israel and Egypt should be grasped at once, and used as the key initiative to peace In the Middle East." Sen. Clark, member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, praised both Prime Minister Begin of Israel and President Sadat of Egypt for their expressions of willingness to confer In an effort to find peace, and said, "A meeting of these two most Important leaders, If it were a sincere (/effort to negotiate their differences, could do much more to bring about peace than a hurriedly called. Geneva Conference.". The Iowa Senator said, "Egypt desperately needs
I s r a e l ' s a s s i s t a n c e in technology and economic development and Israel is Just as badly in need of Egypt's recognition and acceptance. If these two central powers in the Middle East conflict could work ou( their differences, other nations in the area would be given additional incentives to follow their lead." Sen. Clark, who was speaking to a gathering of the First Congregational District Democrats, said he "does not share the view of some in the Administration (hat (here must be a Geneva Conference involving all the powers of the area before the end ot the year." •• T . He said, "Meaningful peace in the Middle East must even-. tuaUy be a comprehensive settlement involving Israel and all nations bordering Israel, but simply pressuring them to go to Geneva under Soviet and * American co-chairmanship, does little In itself to resolts deep-seated hatred." . Sen. Clark said he felt that prior to such a meeting there must be some signs of hope for success,, and a high level meeting between Begin and Sadat which produced such success, could prove to be the precursor to a comprehensive Middle East peace settlement.

"It is important to realize that close to one-half million dollars In our 1977 All-in-One Campaign was raised from nine gifts. The Importance of this Division is, therefore, quite obvious. I look forward to meeting with each of the contributors of this Division to discuss with them, individually, the multiplicity of problems that confront us today and try to explain the major role they can play to help alleviate these critical situations" concluded Pomerantz.
