Marti Epstein is musically talented and puts a lot of hard worli lirto her music Bvantaoa ite was four yaora old, Marti has iMWfi playiac a mnslcaliMftnMMnt. If she's not playinc the piano, then she's playing the clarinet And If she's not plajring the clarinet then she's playing the guitar "I started playing the piano when I was four yearsold." said Marti, "and I've been taking lisaons off and on for the past 13 years Then, when I was in faurth wrmdt my dad started me on the clarinet Piano and clarinet are the two main liMtruments I play I just started taking classical guitar leaaons last June." Since her bcginnincB. Marti, the l« year old daHi^rtcr of Arnold ' Tuffy I and Helen Epstein, has dabbled in aUnoat every area of music While attending Burke High School, she was a memt>er of the band, orchestra, and chorus. And to Beth El Synagogue. Marti hasoontrttMiled much of her time and talent 9ie was in Beth El's choir, conducted the Junior choir, has read from the Torah since her Bat MUzvab, and has ptqred tiie organ on various eeMiratlaaaaildi as wsditagi and Sloichas Torah.

Pettruary of 1979" Considering her interest and talent. Marti wanU to continue in music and mslw it a part of her career "I would like to be a composer when I grow up. "she said with a laugh HI can do it. I'd like to write musical scores fbr the movies and tetevlston. That's an art in Itself " Marti also wants to continue wrtting Jewish music — music that would be accepted by the sacred and the secular "If I could sing, there's no doubt in my mind that I'd like to be a cantor." she sad "Then I could write all the Jewish music I wanted to and ilMfould be performed" But. don't get the idea that Martl'tt involvement in Judaism t>eglns and ends with her music While in high school, she was active In the United SynapiCue Youth < USY) group. Locally, she was corrsapondlng sm rsi aiy bsr sophomore year, chapter prestdent her junior year, and a cochairman of the 1976 Ktnmjs convention held in Omaha On the regional level.

Marti Epstetn After completing her education. Marti intends to settle herself and then think about a family "Of course I want to get married someday." she said, 'but I don't think It's fair to sacrtflce what I want to do for somebody else And it's Just as unfair for tliem to sacrtfice what they want to do " When asked what advice she would give (o Ihotie interested in music. Marti said that If you go Into music give It your total dedication "If you're In music and find that It's not for you then get out fast." she said "Either put your all into It or find •omething else."

Judy Handleman —Sher Home By Diane Wlntroub Judy Handleman and I go t>ack a long ways Together we plowed through pre-school. Sunday school. Hebrew school. Bat MlUvah classes, and various Jewish youth groups So. when I found out that Judy and I would both t>e interns for the Federation. I thought I knew what to expect But little did 1 know how much she had changed since thoae tun krving. carefree, prankish days of Hebrew school I always thought Judy was the type to take care of herself and not be bothered with the other guy —her proMems were hers, yours were yours, and never the twain shall meet. Well, the twain have met! Judy shows a awminw oanoem for other people. Her eonoam Is evident in her work as an intern for the Bureau of the Aged. Judy, who is the 18 year old daughter of Morris and Ranee Handleman, is working tmder Ben Laidi. director of the Bureau of the Aged and the Dr Sher Home "I've really learned a lot from t>eing around the residents at the Home." said Judy "They've got so much to give if B j<v
a.» ,
people would just take it " Aside from working out at the Home. Judy spent time working on a project with Rat>bi Isaac Nadoff of Beth Israel Synagogue and Dr Paul Shyken, president of the congregation The project involved setting up an older adults' program at Beth Israel "The program at Beth Israel was Mr Laub'B Idea." said Judy, "and when I started the Internship he sort of turned it over to me Hopefully the program will be on Friday mornings for a pre-ShablMW get together " One of Judy's main giMis over the summer was to get the youth of Omaha active at the NORM "I'd like to see the youth groups schedule one or two visits lo the Home each month," she said. "During the school year I can see where they might not have enough time But during the summer there shouldn't be any problems There woulctoi't be any big tasks Involved in It either, just little things like writing a letter or playing bingo" Judy's concern and involvement < ConHnoed on Page 371

Jenny has had many opportunltlca for violin performances. When she was 11. she and other SuxulU studenU played with the Lincoln Symphony for a children's audience. Par tWa performance. Jenny had a aoto. TUB waa not to be her last solo

Jpnny will be • junior at Central Higli .S<-hool where she is a member of the orchestra And although she often finds it to be a little of a dtaUenge, she must participate in orchestra at scfiool in order to tie in Omaha's Youth Orcliestra "Most of the kids in the school orchestra haven't had a real music education.-'Jenny said "For the moat part, they've just learned music in school and the schools don't have the time to set up good music classes "
In Decemtter of 1978. Jenny had a solo performance with the Omaha Youth Orcheatra and was alao aeen on televislan with JonI Balllon As far as her performance in competition, Jenny haa several awards to show for her talent. She won the Youth Orchestra Competition in Omaha In December of 197S. and In the Spring of 1979 she compalod in the Youth ArtisU CompHition aponaarad by the Omaha Symptiony Mustciana between the ages of 13 and 21 came in from parts of Iowa and Netiraaka for the competition " 11 was terribly exciting.'' Jenny said "I couldn't believe 1 made the finaU But. I nniahed with a »• fourth place award in the overall oaapetltion. and a fMO first place award in the separate strtngs compatltlon." For the past two aununars. Jenny has attended the Peatlval of a Thouaand Oaks at Peru State CoUess In Peru. Nebraska Approximately IM young > participated In the PaaUval ve weeks. Jenny said that a typieid day conatsted of« and rehearsals for the conUng 1
During the achool year, Jenny said that she sometimes finds it hard to concentrate on her music when her mind wanders off to thoughts of homework and tests "I like to practice about four hours each day." she said, "which is difficult after a full day at school When 1 practice. 1 can't think of anything else tNit the violin and how to get the exact sound I want out of it Hopefully, lllbe able to diactpllne myself better this year" In between SCIKWI. violin practice and lessons, Jenny manages to offer a few lessons of her own. She has one full-time student and one that aiie shares with her teactaar, Stephen SlUppa. "I don't mind teaching, but I'm not sure I like It," Jenny said. "1 guesa I can't avoid it though It cotnes with the territory " Although Jenny loves her music, she said there was one major drawtuMHt— having to sacrifice much of her Jewlshness "That's the one part I hate atMNit lieing a muaidan." she said. "Being Jewlah and beyig a nmaiclan juat don't mix TTtere's alwajrs a concert.

Jenny was not a memtier of the Youth Orchestra tjecau of her Involvement at Beth Israel Synagogue But eventually, the violin t>ecame too important and she had to make a difficult decision tietween synagogue and violin "I regret not being more active." Jenny said "I feel almost guilty Rut. I want to be a concert violinist and that means that I can't pass up opportunities now if 1 want to maike it big in the future " And as for her future, Jenny plani> to work harder than ever artd see what happens "I'd love to appear In concert at Carnegie. t>ut 1 dout>t that will ever happen. " Jenny said "I really shouldn't think like that, though 1 need to think that It will happen and 1 have to want it more than everyone else wants it" And also in the future. It might t>e a good idea for Omaha to keep its eye on Jenny One never knows what we might be "fiddling" with The concert has ended.

Boxing Ben Belmont iflyi Flyta* high now Gomafly.fly. Hy Ben Is ready to make a move, yeah Ben bi ready be JiMt can't loae. yeah'" Rocky Batttoa. star of the hit movie Koeky U, is Ml Uw Mrfy fi^Har wte'i "flyln' bi«h" tbeae days i Ban Bdmont Is worklnc Just as hard, dreamtoig lust as biR. nyinc )us( as high as Rocky and Ben hasn't even made one movie let alone two Ever since hts junior year o( high school. Ben has made a name for htmaHf in the boxing rtng "Back kn M^ sclioai I was nmning around with a prHty tough gang." said Ben "I finally decided that it was time to prove that I was better than I thant. 1 had to prove it to myself and to them So. 1 started tmxing" Ben. who is the 20 year old son of Joe and Florence Belmont, began training downtown at the 1140 Boxing Club and sdll works out there During the past few years. Ben ha.s won several awards Three of his most prominent awards are the AAU I Championship and Moat Pranislng • Award in t«77. and the sUw medal w«n at Israel's Maccablah Games. "Naturally, the gold was won by an Israeli." Ben said sarcastically "It's tough to beat an Israeli InlsraH" Ben found out about the MaeeaMab Games throo^i an announcement poalad M the Jewish Community Center. He was not Inlerested until a friend encouratfsd tatan to apply •I filled out the applicatkm. listed my past record, and was lucky enough to be selected by the U.S. Sports Team for Israel." Ben said "There was atotalof saoofusonthe U S team " Ben waa in Israel for two weeks During the first week he participated in boxing competition and for the second week o( his stay he toured the country "I )u8t witb everybody could see what I saw." Ben said "I came home a different person after being In Israel. I even have the star of David on my baxtaif ihortsnow" Ben saki that before going to Israri his feelbigs towards Judaism were net that strong. "I used to think that being Jcwiah was Just the same as tieing Catholic or Protestairt or whatever," he said "It was Just a religion But I know now that Judaism tan't JiMt a religion. It's a culture, a heritage — it's beloqgtng to a people." "I waan't ckwe to the Jewish people before I left ^ Bu(whlleIwasinUraelaotnetlilag«rewtoi my heart Nowl'mpreudtobaJsnlah, Teaiiowthnt I'm Jewish I wear a JewWi star If someone came up to me and sakI take H off or ru kill you. I d tell
them Inat they'd tietter get n>e on the first shot " When he was younger. Ben missed out on a few things as far as ticing Jewish «^ concerned One important event that Ben intends to make up is his BarMltzvah Ben said that having a Bar MlUvah had always been inlhel>ack of his mind And now that he has s new lease on his religion he plans to start preparing for the occasion as soon as possible Another special occasion that Ben Is getting ready for is the possibility of becoming a profesKional boxer Ben has two alternatives 1) he can turn professional or 2) he can remain an amateur and try for the gold ntedal in twxing at the IMI Maccablah Games In Israel 'I was supposed to fight professionally on March 77,1979, but that fell through because the main event. Ron Slander, was injured a few days tM'forethefighl." said Ben "I was set up for a prellminar> light of four rounds with a guy from Minn<-ap(>lis I just accept it as an act of fate that I didn't get the chance to fight professionally " Ben might try fighting prslaasienally early this Fall. tNJt whenever his profeaalonal time does come, he is sure he will have the support of many Jewish people "Jewish people like to back other Jewish people," he said "And I don't think there are too many professional Jewish boxers so I'm sure I'd be able toget quite a bit of support ' Through the years of boxing, Ben has learned a k>t about fighters as people "Nine out of ten fighters come from broken homes." he said ""I really feel sorry for those guys sometimes When I go home to a family fullof love at the end of the day. I try not to think atxiut what they're going home to " As far as his future in the boxing ring, Ben said that he has confidence in himseK. but he also said that a lot depends on luck "If I work my hardest snd run into a little bit of luck, then my dream of winning the title could come true one day." he said And that is the gist of the advice Ben had to give to everyone - whether they're interested in boxing or something else ""Whatever you do, give 100 percent of yourself to it and your dream will come true." Ben said "To succeed you have to want It. And if you want it enough, then you will succeed." Although Ben Belmont may not kiok like Rocky, may not act like Rocky, and may not have the same left hook as Rocky, he does have one outstanding trait in common with him. Ben has as much confidence, drive and determination as Rocky had in both of his movies put together. And with some luck. Ben might Just be the first professional. boxer to hail from Omaha, Nebraaka "Gonna fly now Fljrln'high now Gonna fiv flv. flv "

Once again, like roost young boys their age, David and John have a rather low opinion of girls "They're smart In school, but I don't Tike them." said John "It's natural not to like girls til you're oldler anyway " But do the boys think their outlook towards girls will ever change? That question was
David and John Weilt might be thought of as a rare pair Aside from being members of a minority twins - their curiosity and lonct-rn may make them a very special pair for the future

The Younger Generation — A Breed Apart "Judaism and the Younger Generation" Is certainly a happy theme for an edition of the Jewtoh Proas cele(>rating a New Year: Roab Hashanah S740. When you say "yaunflor ceneraUon". aa that is hopeful and oriented to the future cowieo to mind Nevertheless, a caution Is in order: American Jewlah life—and Kmericim life •mrally—are toe nuch child and jrouth centered. The pendulum has swung all the way hnom children as minlalurc adults to the puiiil today where children and adolascenta are regarded as a culture apart—a special consumer culture at that! We have dlfflcuity today locating that etasive point where we regard the yoang neither *« an-"

In ttte synagogue. I have never been much taken with the idea of creating a separate children's world called the "Junior Congregation " I believe that chUdren siiould be tirau0A to the synagogue wtth their parents on a regular baals—more rarely and more briefly wlien they are very young; nd for the childrea grow older. In way they oome, gradnaturally. la ages to undsrstand to accept tlio synaand Judaism Itaelf as the agiil entities they actually are. One of the greatest iransgrsssions we crnnmlt s^ilnif ow Jewish
is to freeze their development as religious personalities at the very adolescent level We do not allow them to grow up Jewifthly We do this either by discontlnutng their reiigioiu education altogether at age thirteen or ttiereabouta—M* by so reducing tJteir religious education quantitatively that nothing effectual can take i^ace qualitatively. I am pleased, then, to participate In this New Year trltNite to "Judaism and the Younger Generation" with the caveat tluit we show our love and our concern for the youngar generation by allowing Its Individuals to duvtlaf in tiieir Jewishneas—that we do not regard the younger generation perennially as iMit as travto knowtPrtgeoNe. participative Jewish adulthood On belialf of tlie ofneers, board of trustees, and k'ley kodesh of Beth El Synagogue. I extend wai iiisst good wishes for s hsalthfU snd Joyous New Yesr lo aU the generstlons of our people In Ms community, and lo the House of Israel eveiywheis.
What Is the Younger Generation? These are days when ttie conaclousnees of time impinges heavily upon our emotisns snd our thoughts. The violence of change and the uncertainties of our tomorrows make all of us wish we could stop the clock to catch our breath Tte advent of the flosh Haattanah forces us all the more to consider our days and the flight of the years The time of life inexorably runs tts course For aome well into maturity the passage of time Is a aource of dismay especially If one has paaaed what is guessed to t>e the half way mark of life For others not yet. so It would seem, at the point of "no return" in terms of goals yet posslt>le time does not run fast enough But we know days and years are the same for all And. upon reflection, we know it is the quality of life that really counts Both young and old are miserable and ctmtent. well and ill. moral and imnrtoral. good and evil It is tempting to place all our faith in the "Younger Generation" But Isn't that a relative term** The young in years are not ily those Who will tour future Neither are their elders!. There are wiae and simple In both groups The truth Is that the generatlona are Intermingled; wears young and old togotbsr and as an ancient People we are txiund in an everlasting covenant that impoaes igM» (Ml all a life of feitcgrlty and goodness to each other.

The Helsinki Human R^hts Pact Won't be worth 2 cents!
I
No matter how often and how loudly the President of the United States talks about human rights it means absolutely nothing, zero, if the Soviet Union con tinues to jail activists How can any of the countries that signed the Helsinki Pact take it seriously if the Soviet Union continues to violate human dignity It sa shame! At present Soviet lails are holding acti
vists as prisoners. Shcharansky, Orlov. Nude). Slepak. Goldstein and others Their only "crime" being the monitoring of human rights violations in communist Russia Until all these jailed activists are freed and allowed to live m peace or ai lowed to emigrate to the country of tt^eir choice the Helsinki Human Rights Pact IS not worth the paper it is written on Let's do something about it, today!
