Sadat Advised to Negotiate Directly with Israel •'•'. Former Omahan Bernards. White, Is an attorney and president of the Jewish Communl-. ty Council ot Greater Washington.

*By Bernards. White
The happiness and even euphoria exhibited by the government and the citizens of Israel when Egyptian President Anwar Sadat made
' his unprecedented 'peace mission to Jerusalem was deeply shared by all Americans, Including, of course, American Jews.
! • < • ' . . . . ' " . •
• -•
The scenes televised around the world were seen by us as an almost dream-like fulfillment of our hopes and prayers for 30 years — peace! No one could be happier than the American Jewish community if Sadat's visit would result In an equitable peace in the Mid?: die East. Our minds marveled at the sight of sworn enemies-tojthe-death embracing,
meeting together, vowing their mutual determination to strive for peace in the region. But now President Sadat seems to have opened a new initiative, as represented by his "Open Letter to the American Jewish Community," an initiative directed at generating American Jewish pressure on Israel. Since President Sadat directed his call to the Jewish community here, it is Important to respond to him, and to suggest that he's calling the wrong number.. Of course, American Jews — together with the majority of
Americans of other faiths and backgrounds — are committed to the support of Israel. But the euphoria the American Jewish community felt was not generated by President Sadat's visit to the Jewish community in Washington. It was generated by his visit as the representative? of the sovereign govenment to , Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, with the expressed offer to open peace negotiations with representatives of the sovereign government of Israel. .

TZEDAKAHANDJEWISHRESPONSmiUTY The rabbis of the Talmud obligated everyone, even the poor, to do tzedakah <Glttin7a> because they realized that were they to exempt a person from this obligation, tbey would simultaneously deny that person the ability to perform an act of justice, and In doing that, deny him his humanity. Because tzedakah is an obligation rather than a favor, the poor had a corresponding moral claim on the community; rather than simply ask, they had therightto demand that the community meet their needs. "The poor man does more for the giver than the giver does-for the poor man," (or the poor man gives the other a chance to fulfill an obligation incumbent upon him. (Leviticus Rabs bah34:8). LEADERSHIP Just as the poor had the right to demand frHpfrnh, the communal leaders In acting on behalf of the poor, bad the right to demand of their communities that they meet their obligations to those in need. In-fact, those leaden had — and used — their authority to force compliance of those who failed to fulfill their communal responsibilities.

THE CASH IMPERATIVE . Merely pledging a sum for tzedakah was not considered sufficient. Like all vows in Judaism; a vow of tzedakah was to be fulfilled immediately, and a person who delayed in the fulifillment of such an obligation, particularly in the case of helping to raise the ransonvto redeem captives, was viewed as if he were as morally culpable as the imprisoned Jew's non-Jewish captors.

A contemporary view of tzedakab— "We give Dot only to those in need, but for our own survival as a Jewish community. For many of .us, giving Is not only for charity, It's for us! We all benefit dlrectly-whether through Federation subsidy to our children In Sunday school, or a friend's adopted child through Family Services. I give because I feel it's a privilegetohave been born a Jew. I give because it's my responsibility—to keep my Jewish community strong and secure — to kerp Israri strong and secure, and never to forget the 6 million." Judy Goldcnberg, Volunteer, Minneapolis ,
THEROLE OF THE FUND RAISER The whole institution of gabaei tzedakab (fund raisers) was Instituted precisely to spare the honor and dignity of those in need of tzedakah. If any humiliation were to be suffered, It was to be suffered by the fund raisers and not by those on whose behalf they collected fuijds. The first documented Instance of a professional Jewish fund raiser occurs at the end of the third century in the person of Hiyya b. Abba. He was sent on "campaign trips"to the Jews of Syria and Rome by the Patriarch R. Yehuda HaNasl who gave him the following letter of Introduction, "We are sending you our emissary, a great man who Is to be treated as ourselves." (TJ, Hag. 1:8,76d). As befitted the importance of their mission, these emissaries were accorded the opportunity to preach to a community on the first Shabbat following their arrival.

The Birth of AZA For a city with a relatively small Jewish population, Omaha has produced an unusually large group of national and international leaders. Many of these leaders have made — and are making —a major impact on World Jewry. For example, many newcomers to Omaha may not realize that the late Sam Beber was instrumental in forming an international organization called "Aleph Zadik Aleph".or AZA. This organization — now the largest Jewish youth group in the world — was brought into existence on May 3, 1924, at the home of Harry Lapidus—right here in Omaha, Nebraska, It is time for Omahans to recognize this extraordinary achievement in some tangible way. Omaha is the birthplace of AZA. We respectfully suggest that the Jewish Community of Omaha take note of this fact and set in motion a process to memorialize an outstanding Jewish accomplishment.

The Numbers Game in Israel HAIFA — The most overworked word In Israel today is demography. It is used as a •care-word to denote the great threat hanging over Israel if this country should seek to ab' sorb officially the million or so Arabs living in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip. This would make the overall population living under the Israel flag three million Jews to 1.5 million Arabs, or % Jews and & Arabs. Then, the pessimists say, demographic reality would take over. Fertility rate (live births) has been dropping among Jews, but rising among Moslems. Large families, that is with six or more children, constitute 60 percent of the Arab total, but only 14 percent of the Jewish total. Thus, given sufficient time, inexorably the Arab population would increase until it reaches a stage where it would be 45 percent, and then 51 percent and even 60 percent of the total population. . If part of Israel they would then become a majority in the Knesset with all the implications that would have for the nature of the Jewish State. The consequent alternatives, as some commentators put it, is that Israel could be a state which is democratic, but not Jewish — or Jewish, but only at the sacrifice of accepted principles of democracy. A difficult choice indeed. However, the above gloomy picture is based on only a frag-' mentary analysis of the situation. There are other factors of very considerable importance that must be taken into consideration. One is the (act that large population shifts have not been uncommon in the Middle East in general and in Palestine in particular. At the
close of World War I the Arab population of Palestine was very small. The mandatory government and the relative prosperity (relative to conditions in surrounding countries) resulting from Jewish development, brought about a vast Influx of Arabs from neighboring lands. They simply drifted across the border. Since the creation of the State of Israel, and especially since the Six-Day War, there has been a drift in the other direction, and this does not refer to the refugees who fled in 1948. Under Jordanian rule many West Bank Arabs found life more attractive on* the other side of the river. Since 1967 the magnet has been the

There are further factors nottobe overlooked.

And, finally, there Is a growIng national p a t r i o t i c movement among Israelis to encourage a higher birth rate.

(JP Photo by Mallne) -•; Editor* Note: Following is the annual report of the JewUh Federation Library. It was presented at the annual meeting in January. The Federation Library is a regional resource center for Jewish knowledge serving individuals and groups (Jewish and non-Jewish) from the community of Omaha and surrounding areas in Nebraska and Iowa. Books, records and other library materials are ordered, catalogued and made readily available 'for the express purpose of perpetuating our Jewish heritage through the written, spoken and visual word.* Since the spring of 1973, the library staff has been Involved in the major task of cataloguing the book collection which currently numbers about 15,000 volumes. The collection is now 90 percent catalogued with about 1,500 volumes remaining. Except for minor revisions and a small number of Hebrew language books, this project should be completed by the end of the year. Cataloguing of the 2,500 records in the Federation's collection began in January 1975 and was completed in early 1977. When the book collection is completed, the library staff will then concentrate on cataloguing the films (600), fUmstrlps and other audio-visual materials. A major goal in this area is the compilation of a printed catalog of films, filmstrips and slides for use by the teachers and other educators in the community. The following statistics (compiled from January through December 1977) are illustrative of current library usage: .575 Individuals per month made use of some aspect of the library. Items circulated (out on loan) Included: 300 Adult books per month, 130 Children's books per month, 80 Records per month. , Registered borrowers (as of Dec. 21,1977): 1165 Adults, 275 Young Adults (7th - 12th grade), 695 Children. In 1977, the library acquired the following items: 967 books (purchased), 40 books (donated), 43 filmstrips (most with cassettes), 2 films (purchased), 13 films (donated), 3 slide/tape presentations, 47 records. , • In addition to regular library services, the library currently offers the following special programs: Jewish Book Fair, Jewish Book Report contest sponsored jointly with the three synagogue religious schools, Summer Reading Program tor children, Bookmobile service to the senior citizens outreach programs, Annotated listing of new books in the Jewish Press, Annotated bibliographies of library materials on specific subjects such as holidays, American Jewish history and ifcs Holocaust.

The Jewish Pres*
President Sadat Advised to Negotiate Directly with Israel (Continued from Page 1) a Our Jewish community believes now, and has always believed, that true peace can be realized only by direct, face-to-face negotiations, between the states in the Middle East. Appeals to public opinion or to groups external to the region are not a substitute for negotiations, and may even jeopardize them. The Jews of Washington do not have the . problem of guaranteeing their security. Israelis do. The Jews of Washington do not have to wonder If a Palestinian state would be a springboard for terrorist attacks on their children. Israelis do. The Jews of Washington do not have to live In a place where hostile forces have repeatedly attacked them. Israelis do. Only Israel can negotiate Its own future and security. For the first time in 30 years Israel and Egypt do not have to rely on Intermediaries to communicate. It would be an unfortunate regression to seek intermediaries now. The Jewish community does not, as Sadat' writes In his letter, "condone the annexation of others' territories by force." That is why we have joined together with freedom-loving

A number of people have asked about the possibility of scholarships to Camp Newman and Day Camp for this -coming summer. For many 'families, going to camp simply Is not in the budget and for others only partly so. If a Jewish child would benefit from the camping experience, then he or she should not be denied that benefit because of a lack in family finances. The Jewish Federation has provided funds for the purpose of camp scholarships for those unable to otherwise participate. Local organizations and Individuals have also contrib-
people around the world to condemn the many acts of Arab aggression against Israel during the last 30 years which were aimed at overrunning Israel's territory by force. We believe that the leaders of Israel and Egypt must jointly negotiate a settlement which will establish mutually acceptable boundaries, and which at the same time will offer security to Israel. President Carter, a friend of the governments of both Israel and Egypt, has welcomed Begin's peace plan as "flexible" and "forthcoming." We do not believe the, allegations of "suppression of the rights of the Palestinian people to live In peace in their homeland" and "suppression of human rights of the Palestinians in the West Bank, and Gaza" to be anything more than propagandists canards. Prom 1948-1967, when the West Bank and Gaza were controlled by Jordan and Egypt, there were no claims for a "Palestinian homeland" or for a "Palestinian people." What was suppressed was the right of Jews to visit their holy sites in Jerusalem and other cities under Arab control. Those Arabs living today In the Israeli-administered West Bank
uted/funds for the same purpose. These funds are administered by Jewish Family Service. Any member of the local Jewish community, who would like to send a child to camp this summer and is in 1 need of financial assistance to do so, should contact Jewish Family Service immediately for a scholarship application, All applications should be in by March IS. A confidential in-
terview will be arranged with you to discuss the overall situation. In some cases, extended payments can be arranged, in others a loan Is possible, as well as an outright grant. All of the requests for scholarships, loans or extended payments are held in confidence. Please don't hesitate to ask for information or assistance. We want your child to partake of a Jewish camping experience.

during the Yom Kippur War of 1973 from reaching Israel's densely populated civilian centers. Even so, Prime Minister Begin offered the return of the largest of these territories, Sinai, with certain security provisions, even before formal negotiations were under way. We can appreciate Mr. Begin's in-. sistence that something more than just words, paper and promises be offered by Egypt in the process of negotiating for true peace. President Sadat writes that the "behavior of the Israeli government . . . has been negative and disapproving" and " . . . has not been forthcoming.>>vWe share an Impatience for peace. But at the same time we believe \ that the historic and commendable Sadat mis* \slon to Jerusalem was one which should be ^understood as Initiating a process for peace, not one to dictate the ultimate terms. h • Sadat has shown great courage by taking the Initiative In going to Israel. Now he must show true Statesmanship by demonstrating a willingness to compromise in the mutual quest for peaces- and with Israel, not with American Jews. \
Recently, KMTV Channel 3 News surveyed the electric rates of 78 utilities serving the top 100 metropolitan cities in the nation. The resuits of that survey snowed that only 16 cities had lower electric rates than the Omaha area. We thought you might like to see the actual comparisons:

and Gaza experience considerably greater freedom and human rights than do their Arab brothers In the surrounding Arab states. ThereJs no slavery in the West Bank and Gaza.' There are decreasing illiteracy, mortality and illness rates, together with an Increasing rate of personal Income for those to whom human rights are allegedly denied. Indeed, ail impartial observers have stressed that, while living under a military administration can never be fully acceptable, Israel's administration of the West Bank and Gaza has been among the most benign in history. Americans, therefore, welcomed Prime Minister Begin's proposal of self-rule and regional autonomy for Palestinians as a forward-looking basis for negotiations. We were pleased when both Sadat and Begin sought a mutually agreeable way to secure representation of Palestinians in the negotiations. We believe that such efforts are in the direction that will bring true peace. It is also most important to remember that the territories taken by Israel in the Six-Day War of 1967 prevented Arab attacks on Israel

Indeed, anyone so inclined, with a few hundred dollars can start his own Nazi party. A uniform — a flag — a box of stationery and a few dollars can create the fiction of a ; large Nazi party, thereby giving substantive form to an image. , Their financial situation is. ;• often marginal with a hand-to.- mouth' existence. Clearly the ' • lack ol membership and financial growth indicate that Americans will not directly support Nazi groups. The Nazis understand this and despite their rhetoric, realize they are not able to • c a p t u r e the A m e r i c a n populus. Rockwell realized this, when just before, his death, be changed the name of the American Nazi Party- to the National-Socialist White Peoples Party. That group still exits and is the closest organization to a National Nazi Party. The swastika, Rockwell learned, is a symbol of that which Americans reject and even of quintlssentfaleyil. Americans do not have to fear national control by Nazis. • Rather we ought to be concerned about those "respec: table" individuals and groups who may lend concert support to Nazis, by voicing the same ' or similar ideas. It is at this point that Nazis serve a useful function for the
radical right wing. Nazi groups in America while having limited contact with European Facist activity are neither the ideological nor sociological counterpart of the pre-World War II National socialists. There are no Alfred Rosenbergs. Miller's tightly knit ideology that can take advantage of social unrest. Neither are there classes of Americans who support the Nazis is the hope of creating social unrest.
Use Fears By introducing certain ideas into the public arena, the Nazis can help to legitimize', their Ideology. The method involved is to play upon the fears of class and race conflict in America. By fomenting such fears, with its resulting
conflict, Nazis are able to gain public notice that they can never afford to purchase. They, in effect, become hard news which the media have an obligation to cover. Anything the public does, to contribute to this conflict, gives them even more notoriety. In recast years, Nazi groups have chosen to seek direct conflict with Jewish groups in areas where Jews live, knowIng that a Jewish reaction will provoke conflict and media coverage will result. Indeed, the thrust of Nazi groups, which are essentially p o w e r l e s s , Is to g a i n headlines. Their hope is that membership and resources will Increase, Heretofore, this has not been the result. The majority of the media handle these phenomena responsibly.
