Community Supports Campaign Dinner A Review by Marilyn KonJgsberg The dinner that few thought could be, became the event that few will ever forget, when the man who "will not be undersold" addressed a capacity crowd of 722 people last Sunday night, at the Jewish Community Center. Cookie and Jerry Hoberman, dinner chairmen for the first Men's Federation Campaign Invitational Dinner, promised at lot and delivered on all fronts. Sunday was a warm day, but the Warmth

generated inside the "J" was a feeling, not a climate. Don Rice and his group provided a musical background as a group of host couples greeted arrivals at the front door. Drinks were served by zealous volunteers In the social hall and the art show, by In the Beginning, Limited was on display in the gallery and in the cocktail area. One couldn't miss the call to dinner heralded by an energetic group of children marching through with large placards announcing "dinner

^COUNCIL BLUFFS. LINCOLN, OMAHA Vol. LIXNo.32

Omaha, Neb., Fit, April25,1980

Dr. Gerson D. Cohen, Chancellor of The Jewish Theological Seminary, conducts an open forum at Congregation Tifereth Israel In Lincoln.

Dr. Cohen Discusses Conservative Agenda The Chancellor of The Jewish Theological Seminary said there is np perceptible difference between the lifestyles of Jews and non-Jews In America today. "The Conservative movement needs an agenda that will allow Moses to speak to the Atomic Age," said Dr. Gerson D. Cohen. • Dr. Cohen spoke at Tifereth Israel Synagogue, In Lincoln on April 15. Nearly 100 persons, Including 25 from Omaha's Beth El Synagogue attended. The Seminary's Chancellor visited Lincoln on a national tour which, he said, resulted from the recent action by the

faculty senate tabling the vote on the ordination of women. He said that research on the subject of ordination disclosed that 70 percent of Conservative Jews were "apathetic" on the subject and that the 30 percent Who cared were sharply divided. Dr. Cohen pointed out that although ordination Is not possible at this time, the Seminary has Initiated a new program for women, "This program involves full rabbinic training, but does not Include ordination as rabbis," Dr. Cohen added. Dr. Cohen said the Conservative movement has

achieved niaturation, scholarship, and academic recognition over the past 100 years. "We are reproducing our own rabbis and lay leadership with Jewish experiences that are American . . . there is scintillating scholarship going on from the Bible to present t i m e s . . . and Judaism has become part of the academic agenda at major universities throughout the country." He said that as pioneers in developing a Conservative lifestyle, the Movement must now address Itself with responses to the challenge of modern life.

is served." What followed was a bit of magic. The gym, which had to present a major challenge to the entire committee, had the ultimate facelift. Skip White, along with Marsha Cohen and her decorations committee, did for the gymnasium what set designers do for a stage. Excellent track lighting was installed to highlight the table settings which shimmered with mylar runners and lighted candles and were decorated with centerpieces which turned out to be dessert cakes. The meal, planned by Mary Bernstein and her committee and cooked by Irwin Selgler and his staff was another major obstacle which turned out to be a minor miracle. It was more than hot and ample; it was beautiful and delicious. Cookie and Jerry delivered on their major promise — no hard sell, just some basic facts and a video presentation which was as moving as it was professional. Cookie dedicated the film to her father, Sam Epstein, whom she acknowledged as a guiding force in her life, but unfortunately he was too 111 to be at the dinner. Scenes of the Holocaust and Jews In Russia were followed by interviews Cookie did with Omaha residents and we learned in well-paced scenes about the services the Federation provides with our donations. The material was well-selected, edited and scored. The

Rabbi David Wolf Sllverman, associate professor of philosophies of Judaism at The Jewish Theological Seminary of America, will address a Beth El Synagogue dinner, 6:30 p.m., Sunday, May 4, at which the Seminary will honor Beth El's past presidents. The major dinner event will conclude a Torah week-end at Beth El at which Rabbi Sllverman will serve as a scholar-ln-resldence. In addition to his faculty position with the Seminary, Rabbi Silverman is chairman of the board and executive committee of the Religious Education Association.

A spokesman for the ABC affiliate told the Jewish Press that the documentary is public affairs programming recognizing Mrs. Blumkin as the "epitomy of the American dream." She literally started with nothing and fought for the consumer and her family — becoming a monumental success, the spokesman said. Nebraska Furniture Mart is perhaps one of 12 such enterprises In the United States and It is the intent of the program to give Mrs. Blumkin recognition as the national businesswoman she really is, the spokesman added.

versity's Institute for Advanced Studies, addressed a capacity crowd of 1250 at Temple Beth El here. He held that the intertwined history of Jews and Moslems In the Middle East is perceived in radically different ways by the two groups, both of which views impeded conciliation. Arab Moslems, according to Eban, see the Mideast as their region "so that anything in it that Is not Arab or Moslem reflects itself in their Imagination as external, alien, hostile, disconcerting, artificial. They have a monolithic view of the Middle East." On the other hand, the Israelis conceive of the Middle East as "a tapestry of many colors of which the central thread was woven by Jewish experience for thousands of years," Eban said. In spite of such a profoundly different conceptual framework, the Israel-Egyptian accords hammered out at Camp David caused "a breach in both walls," Eban said. He affirmed that continuing negotiations will serve to temper both Arab rejection and Israeli suspicion.

PLO Contacts WASHINGTON (JTA) The Carter Administration'; position toward the Palestine Liberation Organization includes having "contacts" with individuals who have sympathy with PLO. THo "Administration's policy" was stated in a letter from, President Carter's special Middle East Ambassador Robert Strauss to Rep. Lee Hamilton (D. Ind.), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Europe and the

Middle East. The letter, dated Oct. 26, and made public by Hamilton, was in response to Hamilton's observation when Strauss was testifying at a subcommittee hearing that top U.S. government officials used different words, Including "talks" and "contacts" with the PLO in describing U.S. relations with that group. "The Administrations has held to an absolute and consistent policy of abiding by the agreement made with the government of Israel at the time of the Sinai II agreement in September, 1975," the Strauss letter said. "That agreement states that the United States 'will not recognize nor negotiate with the PLO so long as the PLO does not recognize Israel's right to exist and does not accept Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338.'

Celebrates 100th NEW YORK (JTA) - Stuart Eizenstat, Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs and Policy, described HIAS as "a modem Moses for the Jewish people In bondage, helping people reach a land of freedom and land of opportunity." It has, he added, "made America a nation of nations.'' Eizenstat offered this assessment in his address to more than 300 world Jewish leaders, government officials, leaders of voluntary agencies and other Invited guests at Centennial Dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria to mark HIAS' 100 years of rescue and resettlement service for more than four million Jewish men, women and children.

Evoke Shock

Aid to PLO

GENEVA (JTA) - The board of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) adapted a resolution that would provide financial help for the Palestine Liberation Organization. It was promptly denounced by the Israeli delegate to UNCTAD, Israel Ellashiv. The resolution, adopted by a vote of 63-13 with 14 abstentions, was submitted on behalf of the Group of 77, an alignment of Third World nations. A similar resolution was adopted at the Manila conference last summer when it was opposed by Australia, New Zealand and Norway. This time, those countries abstained. Eliashiv said: "It is no secret that parts of that resolution as well as of the resolution before; us were Initiated and Inspired by the so-called PLO ... We strongly oppose any kind of assistance which might be implied to the PLO, an organization which makes no secret of its avowed objectives, set forth in its convenant, of destroying Israel, a member state of the United Nations." The resolution states that the United Nations system, Including the UN Development Plan, should, during the Third Development Decade, mobilize adequate resources for providing assistance to national liberation movements recognized by regional inter-governmental organizations and the people under colonial domination and foreign occupation.

MINNEAPOLIS (JTA) - A local preacher who delivered a series of what is regarded as blatantly anti-Semitic sermons three months ago, claiming that the Holocaust was God's punishment of the Jews for their rejection of Jesus, drew expressions of shock and anger from Christian and Jewish groups that have not abated despite a recent disclaimer and charges of a "witch hunt" by the evangelist. Rev. Ernest O'Neill, an Irish-born former Methodist minister who heads the nondenominational Campus Church here and a number of affiliated business enterprises, drew a sharp rebuke from the Council of Religious Advisors (CRA) of the University of Minnesota and a somewhat equivocal protest by the Minnesota Council of Churches which upheld his right to express his views although it disagreed with them. The CRA is a group of 14 clergymen and church workers who serve the student body at the university. The Campus Church is in no way associated with that Institution but many students attend its services. Morton Ryweck, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minneapolis and of the AntiDefamation League ot Minnesota and the Dakotas, saw O'Neill's sermons as a reminder "that theologlcally• based Christian anti-Semitism is stIU with us, notwithstanding the progress that has been made in recent decades in reforming church teaching and certain liturgical references about the Jews and Judaism."

L'chayim The Omaha Jewish Community has done It again! By any yardstick of measurement, the Men's Invitational Dinner was a super success. More than 700 — better than 10 per cent of the entire Jewish Community — turned out for the dinner. They pledged $486,000, more than $57,000 ahead of last year. And they did it on the basis of the facts. No coercion, no peer pressure, no public scrutiny or embarrassment. Jerry and Cookie Hoberman came up with the idea for the dinner and through personal charm and sincerity persuaded their many friends to pool their talents and energy. Obstacle after obstacle — both real and imagined — were swept away with the conviction that something had to be done to reverse the trend in Campaign declines. Jerry and Cookie exhibited the courage of leadership. They ignored their own well being, their ""own comforts, and dedicated themselves to solving a community problem. The eyes of the Jewish world were upon them. Local and national leaders were more than interested in the Omaha experiment. If it worked in Omaha, perhaps it could work elsewhere. Omaha has a long history of producing leaders and innovative programs. Thus, when Omaha speaks, the Jewish world does tend to stop, look and listen. The Men's Invitational Dinner now ranks as one of Omaha Jewry's greatest accomplishments. Th>; Dinner has proven that a dedicated corps of homegrown leaders can act to solve community problems. The dinner is over, but the sweet smell of success will linger and then float across this land. Omaha Jewry can be proud of Jerry and Cookie Hoberman, their hosts and committees. The Omaha Jewish community, once again, has demonstrated life.

The Oil Lobby The Jewish people should have more than a passing interest in oil and the United States oil industry. It is common knowledge that the oil industry is fundamentally committed toward strengthening the ties of the United States and the Arab World. Unfortunately, the converse also is true: the industry is committed to the erosion of American public and governmental support for the State of Israel. Experience has taught us that the oil industry lobby has huge sums of money available to exert influence on those who are in a position to influence foreign affairs. For example, there is an estimated $6 million available for the oil lobby to spend on the current Congressional campaign. This is a lot of money, and candidates are tempted to dip into this treasure chest in the mistaken belief that even though they accept, they still can be independent. We all know that when critical votes arise in Congress, heavy contributors call in favors. Those who vote 'correctly' continue getting financial support ; those who don't vote 'correctly' don't. Therefore, it becomes most appropriate for Jewish voters to ask all Congressional and Presidential candidates about connections with the oil industry.

imsrael by-Carl Alpi

A Sturdy Bridge HAIFA — There are about 250 kibbutzim in Israel. Some are old, some are new. Some are big, some small; some are wealthy, some struggling. Every kibbutz is different. Today we shall visit Kibbutz Gesher Haziv, founded in 1948-49 in the northwest corner of Israel. Its original membership was composed in part of settlers from the U.S. and in part of Sabras. Because of the goal to build a bridge between the young people from these two different worlds, they adopted the name Gesher (bridge) and added the Ziv to link it with the ancient site of Achziv nearby. The mixture of two such heterogeneous groups as these led to a happy and fruitful union. Indeed, In the very first years of Its existence the kibbutz created a stir in the country with its courageous challenge of one of the basic concepts of kibbutz ideology. The members of Gesher Hazlv refused to break the traditional pattern of family life, and Insisted that the very young children should sleep in the same quarters with their parents, and not in the separate children's house, as in most other kibbutzim. The reform created quite a stir at the time, but the pioneers of Gesher Haziv have in the Intervening 30 years seen mariy of the kibbutzim in the country, one after another, shift over to that system. Today, with a total population of some GOO, Gesher Haziv is cautiously feeling its way to another innovation in the collective movement. This time it is the young people, the locally born sons and daughters of the original settlers, who are rebelling against their parents' rejection of religious practices. The founding fathers, who had been proud of their secularism, are today being challenged by their children in a desire to return to and explore the synagogue. Come to synagogue together with us, the youth urge. Abashed, the parents confess they don't know what to do there. Then we'll both learn together, is the reply. Though not prosperous in the sense of some of the older, wellestablished collectives, Gesher Haziv is comfortable and can be considered successful. It is based on a mixed economy, ranging

from agriculture (bananas, avocadoes, citrus), a pleasant guest house, and a large turkey farm, to a progressive factory for manufacture of polyethelene products. The latter produces toys, agricultural trays, items for the Ministry of Defense and very recently, It is rumored, it received an order to produce a special product for the Egyptian Government. Obviously this Is a diversified portfolio of investments, and must be managed wisely. Hence the kibbutz relies heavily on its computer for the information required for proper administration. Even the expense budget allocated for each member Is issued in the form of a monthly computerized printout. The kibbutz has teamed to solve its human and social problems with wisdom, restraint and understanding. The village has had losses, some killed in war, some in other ways. When suggestion was made that a memorial be erected, the problem was which names were to be listed? The solution was simple. The memorial comer is a small, landscaped park In which there Is a plaque reading only: "In Their Memory". There are no names, and all controversy was avoided. In ancient times this stretch of coast was known as Phoenicia. Little wonder that the young people of Gesher Haziv take to the sea. Of the original settlers of '49, exactly 49 are left. None have yet retired but already they are rich In memories. The Americans recall their days of preparation in the Habonim movement. And the Sabras think back to their first settlement, Bet Haarava, on the north shore of the Dead Sea, from which they were evacuated when the Jordan army occupied the area after creation of the State of Israel. The place was made famous in an early film, "The House in the Desert", which showed how they painstakingly washed the salt out of the briny soil and turned the place into a paradise. The American-Sabra partnership has turned out well. The cultural level is high. The library (the first permanent building they erected) is amazingly well stocked. Life is good at Gesher Hazlv.

The Media in 1948 Byl.L. Kenen Near East Report On April 20, Israel celebrates its 32nd anniversary. This evokes memories of the broad American support for Israel's establishment in 1948 and the criticism of our State Department, which sought to frustrate it. A few days after the U.N.'s 1947 decision recommending Israeli statehood, the United Slates embargoed the shipment of arms to her defenders and, in March 1948, withdrew support and called 'or a U.N. trusteeship. Analysis at the time showed that 62 percent of the editorial comment attacked America's surprising reversal and only 20 percent supported it, while 18 percent were mixed or neutral. Two major newspapers, the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Miami Daily News swiftly warned that the Jews would be denied weapons while the Arab states were arming and training to assault Jewish Palestine. Israel's staunchest supporter, the New York Herald Tribune, declared that the "trusteeship plan seems shadowy and unsubstantial against the harsh realities In the Holy Land." The New York Times — once a foe of Jewish statehood — attacked "a series of moves which has seldom been matched for ineptness" and "a shabby trick on the Jewish community In Palestine, which put its faith in our promises."

And I.F. Stone, PM's Washington man (who is now a protagonist of the Arab cause), then wrote: "American policy aimed to use the Arabs to crush the Jews as quickly as possible, if possible. Its real, though not declared aim, is to liquidate theyishuv, to reverse partition in blood." And there were many more critics: The Nation, the New York Sun, the Chattanooga Times, the LaCrossc Tribune and the Bridgeport Post. U.S. support has always been ambivalent because of the State Department's never-ending attempt to propitiate the Arabs, in the illusion that this would ensure access to oil and deter Soviet penetration of the area. In the current Impasse over autonomy for the Palestinians, the United States has tilted sharply toward the Arab side, portraying Israel as intransigent and the obstacle to peace. Substantial segments of the media accept the administration's Judgment, but Israel has many veteran friends with long memories and press comment on April 20 will doubtless reflect a wide-spread diversity of views.

The Jewish Press

Deja Vu Another New York paper, the Post, published a column (Feb. 11) which could have been written yesterday: "American policy on Palestine is being influenced, and perhaps determined, by one of the most amazing bluffs in history — the threat that this country's access to Middle East oil will be cut off unless we repudiate the U.N. decision to partition the Holy Land." The Post went on to disclose the role of Aramco's Washington lobbyist. In an earlier column, the New York Post charged that we had entrusted our foreign policy to the British and that we had designated Jaj Amln el-Husseini, the ex-Mufti of Jerusalem and a Hitler collaborator, as "our new Secretary of State for Palestine." The Boston Globe charged that "in the name of expediency, armed defiance of a decision taken under American leadership is being appeased." The Cleveland Plain Dealer wrote that the United States "has seriously weakened its position as a great power, opened the door to Russian interference, which It fears . . . and solved nothing." Outraged correspondents for PM, a New York daily, were vitriolic. Victor H. Bernstein, at the U.N., attacked the president as a man "who wants desperately to succeed and is desperately afraid he can't even succeed himself."

To the Editor: Despite Rabbi Bromberg's argument to the contrary, I, for one, didn't find his Pesach article to be either negative or InsultIng. Rather, it was a realistic appraisal of current trends within the community; some strengthening It, and others to the contrary, (the other rabbis made similar statements). Much credit is due him, for his Innovative attempt to raise our Jewish consciousness and we are very fortunate to have a religious leader of his caliber (just as we can cite the many others who endeavor to make the community viable and cohesive). However, I disagree with synagogue attendance being an ineffective measure of Jewishness by asking what is? What else can better fulfill the participatory nature of Judaism? What other phenomenon offers the elements of socialization, study and worship? Unfortunately, it Is too often viewed from a pediatric, or cardiac, standpoint; as opposed to an attitude of intellectual sophistication. I'm certainly not in favor of the naive acqulesence to Shtetllzed traditionalism, but believe the synagogue to be an essential focal point for the transmission and cultivation of our culture and heritage. Thus, more active participation Is needed to enhance the Jewish way of life for us as well as our children. Paul A. Pane To the Editor: We, Ethiopian Jews living In Israel, call upon our fellow Jews In North America to support us in our struggle to bring our families to Israel. On April 13, Holocaust Day, we are beginning a week-long hunger strike to dramatize the need for increased efforts on the part of the Israeli government to expedite the Aliyah from Ethiopia. We ask each Jewish community and congregation to dedicate itself to preventing a further holocaust by contacting your local Israeli representatives and expressing your concern.

What are all the objects like Hannukiot (menorahs for Hannukah), Kiddush cups, Slddurlm, dolls, candle sticks, ancient and modern coins, stamps, coral, sand, and vases doing here? They were brought in by the Day School children as a part of our Yom HaAtzmaut celebration.

Stage Night is Saturday Memo From Mollie

Until last year when the B'nai B'rith Youth decided to revive the once popular skit and talenl show, Stage Night had been absent for 15 years. When the footlights come up tomorrow night on the Jewish Community Center stage, it will be the culmination of weeks and weeks of writing, rewriting, and rehearsing by the AZA and BUG Chapters.

Russian Roulette By Susie TreUak I've been trying to compare something in my own life to the actuality of settling ten people in a foreign land in completely supplied new homes. I can only recall the experience of bringing home each one of my children from the hospital after their birth. Furnishing the baby's room, buying the baby's layette, the purchasing of new eating utensils and supplying enough formula for the times to come. But that was one child and one room. We're dealing with ten individual people and all their basic and personal needs. Where does one begin to furnish this gigantic dollhousc?

Greene and Marji Levy keep track of what goes where and what items are necessary for the Resettlement committee to shop around and buy. Once the rooms are coordinated — the true fun begins. Volunteers go ahead and set up house — hanging drapes, making beds — and it's hard to believe placing a table here and a soup ladle there can add up to a wonderfully livable household. Dottle says the final reward indeed comes as the rooms begin to transform and appear livable. It's amazing how well put together the apartments are.

Then, too, there are I was interested as to the before and after concerning the laundry and cleaning equipment needs and linens, blankets, tablecloths, curtains, towels, potholders.

Dottie said that one of the new families once was furnished with new pots and pans.

Annual Book Report Contest It Happened to Hannah By Ruth Rounds Report by Melissa Margolis Grade 5—Beth El This book is about a girl named Hannah Adams. She was Methodist, but most of the kids In her class were Jewish. One day she found a beautiful silver Jewish star on the ground. She took It home and put a piece of ribbon through the hole. She went to school, with the necklace tucked safely in her penny purse. After school, she noticed that almost everyone was wearing a Star of David. So the next day she wore hers. Miriam "Mimi" Marcus, who was the most popular girl in her class, said, "Oh, I didn't notice your Star of David yesterday. Look everybody, we have another Star of David!" So everyone thought she was Jewish, and since she wanted to be part of the gang, she faked it She stayed home on the Jewish holidays, fasted on Yom Kippur, ate kosher food, continuing to pretend she was Jewish. She even had to lie to her grandmother by telling her she was sitfk as an excuse to stay home on the Jewish Holidays. My favorite part was when Hannah won the Neighborhood Israel Bond raffle. She had the ticket that Herbie Rosen wanted. One day, Herbie saw Hannah at a church rally. He threatened to tell everyone that she was only pretending to be Jewish Hannah was nervous the day the winner of the ra/fle was announced. It turned out that her ticket won. The prize was a trip to Israel. She had won it for her grandmother. But. when Herbie saw that Hannah won. he said that she had no right to buy the ticket and it should have belonged to him. He was so mad, he told her grandmother what had happened Then Mimi came with her friends to congratulate Hannah. Hannah explained that she was really Methodist, and that she hadn't meant to pretend that she was Jewish. While she was pretending, she learned a lot about Judaism and had loved her star. She learned that people of different religions can be as good friends as people of the same religion. Mimi said she didn't care what religion Hannah was, they could still be as good (riends. Then Hannah saw her grandmother talking to the rabbi who sponsored the Israel Bond raffle. She was returning the prize, because the rabbi would know what to do with it. The author writes very well. The subject of this book is difficult, but the way it is written makes it easy to understand. The words used are not hard. There is just enough description. About half of the book is dialogue. I think that the author is an excellent storyteller. This is a Jewish book because Hannah pretends to be Jewish. The book goes into some detail about the Jewish customs. I think that this is an excellent book. It was definitely worth reading. It teaches a very Important lesson, don't pretend to be something you're not. It also teaches that people of different religions can get along as well as people of the same religion. I highly recommend this book. It would be enjoyed by a child of any religion.

The Jewish Press Committee is pleased to publish some of the book reviews which recently were • selected as grand prize winners. The reviews were submitted in the annual competition conducted by the Jewish Federation Library in conjunction with the Synagogue schools and the Jewish Day School. Winners were selected by a committee representating the sponsoring organizations.

K'tonton On An Island In The Sea By Sadie Rose Weilerstein Report by Randi Epstein Grade 4 — Temple Israel The book I read was about a little boy who gets lost on an island and tries to make the best use of his surroundings. K'tonton would save what he would find in the river, like a shoestring and a piece of paper, in case they would come in handy. My favorite character is K'tonlon. The name K'tonton means small. I like him because he Is so small, but I don't think of him as being small because of his scary adventures. Besides his adventures, he has a special way of making friends. The author doesn't use very hard vocabulary. She uses very'good description and she's a very good storyteller. K'tonton on an Island in the Sea tells about him celebrating Shabbat by making things. He found two raisins and he used the raisins to make wine. He also tried to make matzo since he didn't have chailah. K'tonton on an Island in the Sea was very good. I think other people would enjoy the book.

Journey to America ByDoniaLevitin Report by Carol Margolis Grade 3 - B e t h El Journey to America is about a girl named Lisa and her family when they tried to escape to America from Berlin, Germany in 1938. Her father had already arrived In America. Now Lisa, her two sisters, Ruth and Annie, and her mother were trying to escape to America, because they were aware of what Hitler was planning to do to the Jews. The rest of the family was not. Some parts of this book were sad, some happy, and some scary. A sad part was when the house of Lisa's Aunt and Uncle was bombed and they died. A happy part was when Lisa and her family went to a park in Switzerland. There they had a picnic and rode on a cable car. A scary part was when they were almost captured by a Nazi policeman. Ruth hid money In her violin case. If they had been found out, they would have been arrested. The part I liked best was at the end when they finally made it to America and saw their father again. I thought this book was Interesting, and I wanted to read on to find out what was going to happen next.

Grand Prize Winners Named The Turning Point By Naomi J.Karp Report by Shayna Richmond Grade 6-Beth El Hannah was a 12 year old Jewish girl whose family moved from Brooklyn to New Jersey during 1938. The first day of school she only made one friend, a girl named Ruth. Next door to Hannah lived a man who was anti-Semitic and his son Arnold who was In Hannah's class. Across the street lived another family who also disliked Jews. There was one boy in school who had a crush on Hannah, his name was Billy. Other than Ruth and Billy, no one seemed to like Hannah. Hannah was feeling very left out. The children In her class seemed to dislike her because she was Jewish. One of the students even excluded Hannah from a birthday party just because she Is Jewish. This really hurt Hannah's feelings. This along with many Insults from Arnold, the boy next door, really made Hannah feel left out. Hannah's brother Zach was one of the best players of basketball In the school. Zach soon learned that he would be unable to play on the basketball team because the coach was antlSemlttc. One day after Arnold had badly Insulted Hannah about her Jewlshness, Billy went to Arnold's house to defend Hannah. Arnold's father took Billy Into his basement and locked him In, and tried to teach him how to hate Jews. Billy's parents reported Billy missing to the police. After seven days the police with Hannah's help found Billy In the basement of the house next door. The police arrested the Nazi for kidnapping BUIy and Billy was set free. The children in Hannah's class learned that Hannah was a good person, a clever and helpful girl. She had saved their friend Billy. Then the children learned to like Jews. Hannah's teacher was fired because she drank too much alcohol, and also because she favored Christians and treated the Jewish children unfairly, I liked this story and recommend it to others. It teaches us a little about how Hitler's Ideas were felt In America in 1938 by both Jews and Christians. It also teaches us that by our good deeds and our actions we can help others learn to be our friends. It also teaches that we should not like or dislike someone because they are a different religion, but because of the kind of person they are.

The Jews of Silence ByElieWiesel Report by Toba Cohen Grade 8—Beth Israel The book Is about Russian Jews behind the Iron Curtain. Elle Wiesel goes behind the scenes, very freely I may add. He doesn't pressure the Russian Jews. Wiesel goes to synagogues and because he is American, the louder he prays the more people will notice him. He respects these people. Jews come up to him without even saying a hello and tell him of the situations In Russia. He learned through a great many situations, occurrences and people what is happening to Russian Jews. An especially Interesting Incident is at one point of the book, Wiesel wants to go and see Babl Yar. Nobody will take him to see it. Travel agencies say they are too busy, even his body guards won't take him. He finally has to hire a cab. He pays the driver an immense amount of money and is supposedly taken to Babl Yar. He doesn't see , anything. Later on he takes the question In mind, "was I at the right place?" His conclusion results is that the whole of Kier is Babl Yar. Mr. Wiesel has a wonderful command of the English language. The book has a few difficult words but they fit the sentences. They are the right words. He Is descriptive in some cases. When he describes something you are able to picture it In your mind. There Is a lot of action. In the way the Russian kids dance or yell or pray he adds life as though you are there watching this. He is a wonderful writer. The book Is Jewish because It'ls all about the Russian Jews behind the Iron Curtain. The book is filled with occurrences In synagogues. Jewish holidays are celebrated. All together the.whole book is about the lives of Jews. The gripping story of Jews in a Communist country. I thought the book was marvelous. You feel for people In a way you never realized. The book keeps you In such suspense you won't put the book down. The way he writes is like none other. It Is a very sad book but so realistic. It is an experience to read this book. You really feel something for the Jews in Russia. I would urge everyone, Jewish or not, to read this book.

Mickey Marcus By Judith Halperin Report by Alan Kircsfeld Grade 2—Beth Israel There once was a Jewish boy named David who went to Hebrew school like me. He had a brothernamed Big Mike. David went places with Big Mike and people called him Little Mike or Mickey. Mickey went to West Point and was good cadet. He . helped families of the men In prison. Mickey was a good American bcause he helped all religions and people of all colors. He became a Major in the U.S. Army. He went to Palestine to organize an army for Israel. , Somebody shot a bullet into Mickey's heart while he was helping Israel. He was a hero of the U.S. and Israel. I liked this book because It was exciting and a true story about a Jewish American. I think others would like it too.

Evergreen By Belva Plain Report by Gwen Oberman Grade 7—Beth Israel Evergreen Is a book about an immigrant, whose name is Anna, who comes from Europe to live in America. It tells about the life of Anna. When she was in Europe she was a very Orthodox Jew. After she came to America she slowly, reluctantly was turning away from Judaism. All of her children seemed as though they were Conservative. Her grandchildren grew up knowing a little bit about Judaism, but they followed little If any Judaism at all. You really begin to see how Jews have assimilated since immigrating from their old country. The new generation was more concerned about being like everybody else and building up their businesses. Like the cover of the book says, "From Shtetl to Mansion." My favorite character was Anna because she tried to keep the Judaism alive in her family. When she came to America she was very poor. After being married a number of years she became rich. Through all this she was trying to impress Judaism upon her family. The family really never listened to her, but without her'the family would not have had much Judaism at all. She was the one who really held the family together. I really admire her for these reasons. This book Is an adult book, so the vocabulary Is a little more difficult. I had a little bit of trouble understanding it, but I think I got the main idea of the book. The author used just "enough" description. Parts of the book ha ve lots of dialogue and others don't. I think the author is an excellent storyteller. You really begin to feel the story as you read through' it. I know I felt as though I was living through it at times. This book Is a Jewish book because it Is a story of a Jewish family. The book has a Jewish theme. The book wouldn't have been the same without the "Jewish" in it.1 I highly recommend this book. On a scale from one to ten It deserves an eleven. The way the story was told was done tremendously. What the story was about was very interesting. All in all I felt the book was excellent!
