Rabbi Myer , S. Kripke, Rabbi Emeritus of Beth El Synagogue since 1679, and his wife, Dorothy, will be honored at a reception, set for 8 p.m., Wednesday, June 21 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard D. Goldstein, 509 North 62nd Street. The reception will launch a drive under Mr. Goldstein's chairmanship to establish a scholarship fund for Rabbi -and Mrs. Kripke at The Jewish Theological Seminary of America, New York based central institution of learning for Conservative Judaism. Born in Toledo, Ohio, in 1914, Rabbi Kripke was educated in its public schools and attended the University of Toledo from 1929-30. He graduated from New York Unlvcrslty magna cum laude with a vB.A. degree In 1933, receiving bonors in English and election .to Pill Beta Kappa and Eta Sigma Phi (honorary Classics).

"What really frightens me," said Mrs. Phyllis Kogan, "is when I find too many people that are too busy, too bored, or too Indifferent to care." "Are these just Isolated cases or is there a trend toward indifference to AMW in the Midwest?"

The United States was "blackmailed", into providing planes for Saudi. Arabia because of that country's oil power, Senator Edward Zorinsky said here last Monday. He indicated that this type of situation would continue until the United States "has the guts^to become energy self sufficient. The Senator made his comments during replies to questions from Beth El Synagogue congregants at (he group's annual meeting. Senator Zorinsky was honored by the congregation as a member who had attained high achievement in public office. i Senator Zorinsky said that the Saudis got the favorable . plane package deal because of its oil. If Ethiopia had wanted planes, they wouldn't' have gotten any," he said. The Senator also stated that the "position taken by Senator Abraham Riblcoff (Dem. Conn.) had a lot to do with the administration proposal pass- ( ing In the Senate.

Mrs. Phyllis been aggressive enough in our appeals." She explained that AMW attempts to provide in Israel the same opportunities for Jewish
children that American Jews try to give to their own. "Which one of you does hot want a high school or college education for your child, a Bar or Bal Mitzvah, a secure future, and even a nice Jewish boy or girl for your child to marry?" "I cannot believe that AMW Is antiquated just because we are trying to provide the very, same things for some 8,000 children, and that we will turn our backs on them because they do not carry your name or miner" she added. Mrs. Kogan pointed put that the difference between Mizrachi Women and other Zionist organizations is that AMW not only provides children with a secular education, but also in(Continued on Page 3)
red a concerted program involving an orbiting space platform to transmit the sun's power to earth for electricity. The Senator also chided Omaha voters and Americans in general for taking their freedoms so lightly. He read a letter to the Beth El group from Maria and Serglu Constantlnescu of Hinsdale, 111. (The letter sppke of the help the Senator had given to reunite their family and how grateful they now Were to be living In a free America.
In replying to other questions, the Senator likened the State Department to a "pregnant elephant" where it takes 22 months for something to happen. • He also said that the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) could not get Senate approval in its present form because of the Soviet-Cuban Involvement In Africa among other things. On the possibility of peace In the Mideast, the Senator said that this will happen only when Israel is able to negotiate face to face with her Arab neighbors without outside interference. ' ,, "Even American Jewry should not be telling Israel what to do. The Israelis are the only ones who can negotiate their security."

Navon urges Sadat 'Resume Negotiations' By David Landau and Gil Sedan •JERUSALEM (JTA) President Yitzhak Navon of Israel appealed to President Anwar Sadat of Egypt, in his Inaugural address, to resume the peace process already started because too much hope has been planted in the hearts of the people of Israel and Egypt to let them down. .Speaking to a packed Knesset chamber where his inauguration was broadcast by radio and televised live and in color to Israel and the neighboring Arab states, tyavon's message to the Egyptian leader was that the road to peace ahead is shorter than the distance covered until now. He stressed that a settlement could be achieved only if all parties realized that they cannot achieve everything they desire. He said that every Israeli
government, past and present, and every Israeli political party, sincerely sought peace and was ready to pay the price for peace. The differences between them were only over the extent of the risk Israel should take upon itself in the pursuit of peace, he said. He reminded the assembled Knesset members, government leaders and television viewers of the enthusiasm that infected both Israelis and Egyptians during and immediately after President Sadat's historic visit to Jerusalem last November. Those responses proved beyond a doubt how both peoples longed (or peace, he said. Navon listed as Israel's three most pressing problems peace and relations with the Arab world; aliya and relations with diaspora Jewry; and Israel's cultural and moral standards! •• ~

The question of whether people in Nazi uniforms can assemble and parade in Skokie, 111., has become a national issue. Debates, court cases, pro and con — the controversy is a continuing one, and the proper course of action for concerned American Jews is not yet clear. Out of this turmoil has come a fresh, innovative act which can prove to be an inspiration for the entire country. We are referring to a recent visit to Skokie by a group of Omaha Jewish High School students and their adult advisers. They went to Skokie for a first-hand learning experience, and to demonstrate the solidarity of the Omaha Jewish Community with the many Jews of Skokie. • . \ Rather than plan for a physical confrontation, or other violent reaction, these high school students selected to demonstrate with the power of prayer and the power of their presence. .Sometimes students are teachers, '.'•'
Peace Now — At What Price? Haifa — A high powered public relations campaign is being carried on against the Israel Government. It Is being encouraged and (ed by elements in Washington and at the U.S. which seek to pressure Begin into compromises demanded by the Arabs. It is also* being projected from within Israel by Labor and left wing elements that have never reconciled themselves to defeat at the polls, and are seeking by every possible means to discredit Begin and unseat his Government. And a number of well-meaning, liberal, idealistic Americans, Jews and non-Jews, are leading themselves to this campaign without thinking through the full Implications of what they are doing. The drive Is being conducted under the banner of a clever a^d very, very appealing slogan: "Peace Now!" The assumption Is that peace is to be had — now — but the Israel Government is deliberately and stubbornly rejecting the possibility. And the implication Is that those who are. against peace now must there' fore be In f a vor of war. This is of course arrant nonsense. There is not a soul in Israel who does not want peace. And it is true that "peace" can
be obtained now, almost Immediately, if Israel will simply yield all along the line to the undeviatlng, uncompromising terms presented by the Arabs, including Sadat. It would be well for all those who may have been attracted by the chimera of "peace now," M> review the price which the Arabs demand for this peace. Openly encouraged by Washington, they have thus far shown not the slightest indication of a willingness to yield one lota on any of the following: They demand Israel evacuation of the entire Sinai, and the
return of Egyptian control over the Straits of Tiran, where the trouble started hi 1667 - in short, their hand on our southern waterway Jugular again. They demand the establishment of an independent state of Palestine all along Israel's old twisting border, with freedom to Arafat and his PLO to take control and, if they wish, Invite Soviet help. They demand evacuation and dismemberment of almost 30 settlements on the West Bank, most of them put up by the previous Labor Government as part of the so-

They demand the complete return of the Golqn Heights to Syria, so that Syrian guns may again command the kibbutzim and villages of the Galilee as they did hi the past.

They demand that the Israel Government agree to these pre-conditions hi advance, before negotiations on details can go on. it we yield on all these dejnands we are promised "peace" now. Is it a peace that will last, or will It be the stepping stone to the eventual effort to crush Israel completely. The Arabs have not shown a willingness to compromise on any single item In their program. Why should they? The feeling Is growing among them that the Israel Government must sooner or later crumple and yield—under the pressure of Washington, under the pressure of the Israel laborftes who want to get back into power, and under the pressure of the naive American liberals who are lending their names and their support to the drive for "Peace Now." • We believe that peace is possible, but It must be a peace that brings security. We believe that even Mr. Begin is prepared to compromise around the conference table. When* Sadat came to Jerusalem the opposition here criticized Begin for being too generous In his public statements it may be recalled. The choice before us Is simple: Peace now, on Arab terms, or patient negotiating, without pressures from without, so that we may achieve a peace with security. Please, with all your good Intentions—don't sabotage Israel's efforts. -

Each song rippled upon the ears and souls of the audience, like mountain brooks of notes.-We learned that soul food was an Invention of the Jewish People many generations ago. Each In his own way, Chazzan Weiss and our own excellent Chazzan Chalm Najman added full share and measure to the total program. Etach added his own touches of humor, his own flourishes of styles, ranging from the recitlativo, through standard liturgical selections, and deep Into the genre of Yiddish folk songs. • For the most part disdaining the bravura tones frequently used in synagogue music, these three craftsmen chose to show us the charm and delicacy of their mastery of mezzo-voce singing. As any well-trained singer knows, excellence in this kind of vocalizing Is what separates the men from the boys. Their gemlike melodies cascaded in prodigal generosity, like precious stones cast by master jewelsmiths upon tables of black velvet. Most artists have their own most favorite song, or sculpture, Sophie Kahn celebrates her 70th birthday at last week's meeting of Senior Citizens hi the JCC. Singing the Happy Birth- or painting.

Smoking Stops Show Last November, "Golda" opened amid high expectations of a Ipng, prosperous run on Broadway. Two months later, however, the final curtain slammed down. And Golda Melr's smoking habits played a surprising part in stopping the show. Although the play encountered mixed reviews and numerous problems, the final blow that sank the show was the illness of its star, Anne Bancroft, who developed bronchitis followed by influenza. When she was forced to leave the cast because of her illness,

the box-office receipts dropped to zero, and the Morosco Theatre e v i c t e d "Golda." A $500,000 investment went down the drain. How Anne Bancroft developed those respiratory problems is an Intriguing story which the New York Times reported In its coverage of the play's closing. "As It turned out," the Times said, "the fate of the play may have been decided by cigarettes/' While Golda Melr Is a chain-smoker, Anne Bancroft is a nonsmoker but an actress very concerned about making her characterization as real as possible. So she held a lighted cigarette thoughout most of the play. "I had planned never to Inhale on stage," Ms; Bancroft told the Times. But she said she was so nervous that she inhaled 17 cigarettes in the two hours of each performance — without really Intending to. "Golda has chronic bronchitis from smoking," said Ms. Bancroft, "and 1 developed acute bronchitis from smoking." • Cigarette smoking is playing with fire, Every year more than 300,000 Americans die prematurely from their cigarette habit.
"Hester Street" Airs Saturday on Television Late In the 19th century, a great mass of the Jews who fled the persecution and hardships of Eastern Europe settled on a few crowded streets of downtown New York known as the Lower East Side. On Hester Street, Rivlngton Street and Delancey Street, these immigrants first experienced America. "Hester Street," called "a page from the album of our past" by Judith Crist In Saturday Review, tells the story of these young Russian-Jewish Immigrants In the 1890's. The 1975 film will air Saturday, June 3 at 8 p.m. on stations of the Nebraska ETV Network. "Hester Street" focuses on GUI, portrayed by Carol" Kane, whose. performance earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. A bewildered Immigrant wife, GUI is unable to*Americanlze fast enough to suit her Yankee-worshipping husband Jake (Steven Keats). The story Is simple. Wearing her .marriage wig, clutching her bags, and clinging to her old country pieties and habits, Gill arrives in Ameri-
Moshe Weiss was at his zenith with his enchantingly sweet singing of "Modlm Anachnu Lach". I am hard put to speak of what was Chazzan Najman's "high point". I have an unusual and unique relationship with Chaim. I just can't be objective about him. He Is my Chazzan,' and every week his magntflclent voice does these wonderful things to me. I never tire of listening to him. Omaha in general and Beth El in particular can be counted fortunate in possessing this Master Singer. An armful of lilacs to Esther Wax who provided subtle rhythmic and sensitive melodic support to all three singers. Earlier I mentioned that It was more than a performance—it was performance.!.

No one wished to leave without extracting every possible moment of musical ecstasy.

Unexpectedly, the mousy Gltl.who had submitted to so much bullying and rejection from her husband, slowly finds a way to become victor instead of victim, She, too, discovers America.
