FestiveLook Turns Gym To Entertainment Center By Yolanda Leraer Shimmering lights and silver screens provided a festive look to the halls of the Jewish Community Center Tuesday night. The 32nd Israeli Independence Day celebration was truly a celebration for all, as 700 gathered and waited for the gym doors to open. The wait proved worth It, as Shartl LachArtzl, (I Sang For Thee, My Country), one of Israel's top entertainmenl groups, captivated the audience through the use of song and visual effects. Black velvet draped the sides of the giant screen and rows of chairs faced the elevated stage. Utilizing the running track, spot lights and sound equipment were arranged, transforming (he gym into an ideal entertainment center. The first half pf the program explained the Jewish settlement of Eretz Israel from 1850 to the present, in an almost story-book type fashion. Red, green and yellow lighting combined with the spot lights added to the mood of the dramatic slides and narrative presentation. One couldn't help notice the Americanized fashions worn by the four Israeli guests, complete with Lcvi Jeans and Adidas sneakers. The three singing members, Nurit Galron, Yocl Lcrner,and Danny Litanny, carried through the themes narrated by moderator, Dan Almagor.
Children handled the sale of orange soda and record albums during a brief intermission". The second half of the program gave an opportunity to let the performers individual talents and personalities shine through. Lovely to look at, as well to listen to, solo female member, Nurit Galron, sang beautifully alone as well as combined with the other two singers. Curly-haired, fair skinned, and boyish looking Yocl Lerncr, showed much versatility as he played the p i a n o , strummed the guitar, and sang with a crisp, clear voice. Danny Litanny, stood out as the groups "star". He had composed some of the music he sang. Seemingly quite comfortable entertaining the audience, Lattany provided bits of humor throughout the program. Emotionally swaying the audience, Dan Almagor, served as moderator for the historical trip of the Israeli people. He serves as the groups' director, writer and producer. The opening and introduction of the program was presented by JCC President Jay Lerner. Obviously pleased by what Mr. Lerner described as a "fabulous turnout", he thanked members of the Cultural Arts Department and the Israeli Independence Day committee members for their combined - efforts.
He directed special thanks to "Cultural and Performing Arts chairman Fred Simon, Special Events Chairman Randi Katelman, CPA music chairman Barb Hurwitz, radio personality Dave Wlngert,. and Cultural Arts Director Judl Rosenblatt. Ending the show with a potpourri of classic Hebrew and ° Yiddish songs, such as Hava Nadgela and Tsena, the audience Joined in singing and clapping as the familiar tunes were heard. As the audience walked out of the JCC gym-past the shimmering lights and silver screens—the sound of Israel went with them—a lovely sound. Laughs were exchanged at a post-concert gathering at Julio's restaurant where Mrs. Rosenblatt described the warmth and genulness exuded from such "beautiful Israeli people".
You have heard and read, over and over again, statements such as the following: —Israel is a racist state —Israel's illegal occupation of terrorists in the West Bank —East Jerusalem is not part of Israel —Recognition of the PLO would relax international tensions —The Israeli government Is intransigent in its dealings with the Arabs Such statements are only a small portion of the myths that are circulated in the world in regard to the Arab-Israel conflict. Israel's Image suffers because these myths are accepted as facts. Beth Israel Synagogue will be "EXPLODING MYTHS" at a program of extraordinary importance to all Jews on Friday evening, May 16, said Rabbi Isaac Nadoff. "It is important and urgent that the myths which are circulating be refuted, the record straightened out, and the facts be presented correctly and accurately," he added. Chavura will present a panel discussion following the service on Friday, May 16. Its responsibility will be that of "EXPLODING MYTHS" and the separation of myth from fact in the Arab-Israeli struggle. The panelists will concentrate on another area of the Arab-Israeli struggle and will present a Jewish response to many of the Arab claims. Dan Cattau, religious-page editor of the World Herald, will serve as moderator. This program will provide the Community with information to respond to many of the Arab accusations. Among the special areas of the Arab-Israeli conflict upon which the panel will concentrate are: —The City of Jerusalem and its annexation by Israel —The West Bank and Israeli settlements there —The four wars fought between Israel and its Arab neighbors - T h e PLO: Their stated goals for the "future" of Israel
The guests were very pleased with the Omaha Jewish Community Center. They' felt they had the best technical equipment, the best audience turn-out and felt encouraged for thelr.future tour of America, according to Mrs. Rosenblatt. "Shartl Lach Artzi" feel it is Important to present a historical and entertaining program and because of Omaha's reception, they felt their approach would be accepted and appreciated by future American audiences, she added.

QUESTION: Why docs Jewish custom require candles to be lit on Friday before the beginning of the Sabbath? ANSWER: A variety of explanations are offered for this practice. One refers to the pa.ssage in the Biblical Book of Isaiah which makes it mandatory to make the Sabbath a "delight (I.e., "Onegl (Isaiah 58:131. The atmosphere of delight is established by lighting candles This Is similar to current social practice today where people light candles for special occasions to enhance the atmosphere and make It more delightful A second explanation contends that the candles serve the purpose of sanctifying the day. A third explanation parallels the nature of candle light wilh that of the inspiration of the Sahbath Just The "evening of Yiddlshas the pracllce ol lighting a second candle from the first candle does keit" will follow the 7:30 p.m. nol diminish the candle power of the first candle, so does the inspiraclass of Jewish Folk Songs tion of the Sabbath which passes on Its holiness for the whole week to presented by Hazzan Robert the person who observes the Sablmth.

Also, the observance of the Sabbath Is not to be done selfishly, but In company with others. Hence at least two candles arc lit.

A Bold Attempt The United States has made a bold attempt to free the American hostages in Iran. Those who participated in this dangerous mission are heroes of the first order. AH of our military men who engaged in this action risked their lives. Some gave their lives. Freeing the hostages was their objective, a goal which may be the most noble of human endeavors. All Americans now join together in offering condolences to the families of the fallen. All Americans now offer sympathy to President Carter for having had to make a most agonizing decision. Unfortunately, Americans and other nations of the free world are learning the lessons of terrorism the hard way. Israel has had more experience, and now the world must know that the reactions of this tiny middle Eastern nation are the only actions that terrorists understand. Quick, decisive retaliation and no concessions to blackmail—is the true and proper path, the necessary approach for dealing with terrorism. History can teach us quickly. Too often we learn slowly.
Invite the Family
our^man by Carl Alpert
Dew on a Mountairttop HAIFA — Last month it was a bare, wind-swept rocky hilltop in the Western Galilee. Around i' were the Arab and Druze villages of Jedida, Kfar Yasif, Abu Snan, Yarka, Julis, Deir AlAssad, Majd-EI-Krum and others. The high spot was so bleak that the Arabs disdained it as impossible of cultivation. This week fifteen prefabricated houses sprouted miraculously on the site. Cars drove up the road blasted through the wilderness by the Jewish National Fund. Water was piped in. Little children played in the sun, and at night there was aimple illumination, powered by a generator on the spot. Fifteen families make their homes here in an act of pioneering no less significant than the famous tower and stockade seldements of the 1930's. Fifteen families, comprised of 30 adults and 23 children live here, surrounded by 40,000 Arabs, for this is a Milzpch, one of a' new network of Lookout Points being established precisely in areas where Jewish population is thin, and on unoccupied land owned by the Government. This one is named Tal-KI, dew of God. The settlers are not farmers, and there is no intention of trying to scrape a living from the rocks — unless science and technology can find a commercial use for them. These fifteen arc all academicians — scientists, engineers, physicists, chemists, inventors. For the time being they all have jobs in the city and commute daily but they have visions of exploiting their skills and know-how in electronics, aeronautics, energy, and chemistry to set up laboratories and research stations and science-based industries here atop Tal-EI. We walked about the site. The settlement is so new that there

Thirteen of them are fairly recent imOn a recent Sunday night, more than 700 men migrants to the country, and all from Eastern Europe. The motiand women of the Jewish Community gathered for vation was mixed but part of a pattern. I pieced the answers together: We can't abandon the Galilee to the Arabs; we must dinner, socializing and fund-raising. There were massive logistics involved; the setting up of tables, the hanging of a movie screen, the preparation and serving of kosher dinner. Everything went smoothly. All who attended were pleased. The more than 700 men and women enjoyed — just as they might have enjoyed a beautiful evening at a larg'i country club. Truly, the JCC gymnasium had become a delightful entertainment spot. The next day — it was back to business. Athletes ran the track circling the gymnasium. Below, a volleyball game was in progress, and basketball players were sinking one out of four. All traces of the supper club had been removed. On the following Tuesday night, an estimated crowd of 700 assembled in the gymnasium for concert starring Israeli folk singers. This time, a stage was introduced in front of the movie screen, and sound equipment was in place throughout the gym. But, it was no longer a gym!
establish a Jewish presence here; we seek a better quality of life; we want to get away from the rat-race of city life; we want to create something new; we have dream of an ideal village composed of like-minded people. . .
Dr. Gabriel Kventzcl, age 41, is a graduate of the University of Kiev and now a Senior Lecturer at the Technion in chemistry; his wife, Sophie, is an economist on the staff of the Blueband
margarine factory. Gregory Zlotnik, 38, Is a physicist from Leningrad, now in defense work here. His wife, Shall, used to be a newspaperwoman in Leningrad, and was a frequent listener to Israel's shortwave braodcasls in Russian. Today she Is employed by the broadcasting services, and sends her messages back to her erstwhile neighbors and friends. Dr. Aryeh Magolis, 41, Is an electrical engineer from Kiev; his wife, Nediva, is a mechanical engineer in a local elevator factory. Dr. Yaakov Epstein holds Russian patents in plastics and fiberglass and has inventions for economizing on fuel in motor cars. Part of his Consulting Engineers office Is already atop Tal-EI. Bella Miller, from Czechoslovakia, Is an English teacher. These are not wild-eyed kids. They are mature, responsible, highly educated people. They may have dreams, but they know what they want, and they are establishing a new kind of settlement In Israel. Within a year they hope their number will be doubled, and then continue to grow up to an optimum population of about 200 families. Their help comes from the Settlement Department of the Jewish Agency. The fact that most of them are from Russia is purely accidental. Perhaps they have a greater sense of Zionist idealism; perhaps they feel free to strike out in new directions. They would welcome new members from other backgrounds as well, to help create a true Israeli community. There are already 18 more families on the waiting list. In response to my persistent queries I got a picture of the ideal set of criteria for a prospective member: Age between 30 and 45, a family (no singles) the more children the better, high cultural level but formal university education not necessarily required, possessed of some professional, scientific or technical skill, ability to live harmoniously with people, willingness to give of one's self for the greater good, a tendency toward traditionalism in religous matters. It is interesting to note that almost all these Russian families, once remote from Jewish life, light candles on Friday night. They insisted on a kosher community Passover seder, and most (but not all) avoid non-kosher foods. Tal-EI is only a pin-prick on the map, but in an Israel where many have drifted away from idealism, and where comfort and materialism are often made the principal goals, this Lookout Point is helping to set up a new code of standards and provides reassurance that the true spirit of Zionism still burns brightly.
Letters to the Editor To the Editor: What a pity that the Jewish Press did not find the celebration of Volunteer Week night at the Dr. Shcr Home newsworthy. The residents value the volunteers and extended their thanks by participating in a style show, the likes of which has never been seen in Omaha. Llbby Sachs wrote and directed the show In which the residents modeled, showing a youthful vigor that only needed the small stimulation afforded them by this presentation. It is not often that the community can view our residents in a roll they enjoy -- that of active members of our society. The residents, the volunteers, and all attending came away with a feel-

ing of sharing equally in a Joyous evening. When the next opportunity comes, we trust the Jewish Press and the community at large will recognize and take pride in our Dr. Sher family. Gerre Hoffman and Helen Shukert Editor's Note: The Jewish Press recognizes every event within the Jewish Community as being newsworthy. However, there are limitations as to the amount of work that one full-time person can do, and it is unreasonable to expect that person to cover everything that goes on in the Community. We join you in being proud of the "Dr. Sher family" and look forward to continuing our frequent visits and extended coverage of this Important Jewish institution, (see Page 10)

But Kansas City is still open for June 2, 3 and 4, so you don't have to be disappointed twice . . .signup! Kathy is still at work bringing the telephone directory up to date, however it's nearly finished. Your copy will be ready soon. The Drawing Class did not begin as originally scheduled; it started last Monday (April 28). You can still join the group, so call Mollie about enrolling. We've been advised that the 8th Annual U.N.O. Senior Citizens Days Celebration will be May 14-16. There are many wonderful things to see and do . . . musical entertainment, mini-classes, health tests, crafts and more. Daily activities begin at 9 a.m. and finish at 3 p.m. Judging from past years, this is a • worthwhile event to explore. This item was left for last, like dessert. It's an open thank you note to Toby Kagen, officially "Chairman, Older Adult Committee," but those words don't begin to describe the way this lady does her job. For outstanding performance, regularly, THANK YOU TOBY.
This section is being printed for the special attention of readers who are members of the older adult community. At present, the plan is to repeat this format from time to time, when the Press has room to accomodate the material. If there is some subject which concerns older adults on which you would like to air your views, or if you have an item or story that you think should appear here, please feel free to submit it.

Fashion Show LOVE volunteers who visited the Dr. Philip Sher Home April 21st were treated to a unique "Fashion Show" presented by the Sher Home residents. Eight residents and LOVE volunteers Sam Zweiback, Philip and Courtney Nogg, modeled the latest in fun fashions. The event, coordinated by LOVE Co-chairpersons Gerre Hoffman and Helen Shukert, was in recognition of National Volunteer Week.
Services at the Home Just a few lines to let you know what goes on in our synagogue at the Dr. Sher Home. On a recent Saturday morning, Charles Guss celebrated his birthday by bringing his wife Lil and his grandsons, Bradley, 8 and Greg, 10 to services in our chapel. The fine Hebrew education the boys are receiving was obvious to all who heard them recite the Shema. They also helped their grandpa say kiddush, which everyone enjoyed. Lil served her delicious cake and wine and we had a beautiful Shabbat morning. Hyman Guss. the great-grandfather was a mighty proud man, and rightfully so. May the Guss family who always remember the Sabbath, be blessed with good health, happiness, sustenance and well-earned honor. Our synagogue services are very inspiring. Come some Saturday and see for yourself. . Eva Schwartz

By Helen Newman When Jeanette Nadoff, Co-Chairman of the Women's Campaign of the Jewish Federation, referred to the Older Adults as the "honored" adults, it had a special meaning to the group which attended the Monday, April 21, meeting at the Beth El Social Hall. Those attending were honored in many ways. • One of the most outstanding features of the program was the talk given by Rabbi Jonathan Rosenbaum, who spoke of his experiences In Israel as a young man and how dedicated the Israeli soldiers are — protecting civilians; the Moslem and Christian shrines — urging all Jews to support the Federation Campaign, in light of world conditions today. Other speakers on this day were Co-Chalrman, Deenle Meyerson; Toby Kagan; Mollie Delman, Older Adult Director, and Fanny Manvitz, President of the Monday group. They asked the members to, respond generously to this most worthy cause — and the response was great! Committeemembers, Frieda Erman, Sldonle Marburg, Feo Kahn and Frieda Kolm were given recognition for their part for thler part in contributing to the success of the Older Adult division of the Campaign. As "honored" adults, the members were treated to a most delightful program, introduced by Morrie Epstein. Featured were the four lovely Rizzuto Sisters, who opened their performance with the "Hava Negilah" number. Jaymie's rendition of "My Yiddishe Mama" and dance numbers were superb. Rachel's beautiful voice and presentation were outstanding. Heather, in her dance number, and little Allison, singing and dancing to the tune of "Yankee Doodle Dandy," gave excellent performances — all to the great pleasure of the audience. Isidor Kahn reported on his and Feo's "mitzvah" visits to the sick, and the luncheon blessings were led by Louis Langer and Rabbi Jonathan Rosenbaum. Not only are the Older Adults on the receiving end of honors, but they are giving them as well. On Monday, April 14, Ben Laub, director of the Bureau for the Aging, on behalf of the Older Adults, presented Nebraska Chief Justice Norman Krivosha and Mary Fellman with awards. In his presentation, Mr. Laub spoke highly of the recipients' ma"hy accomplishments. Rabbi Kenneth Bromberg and Cantor Robert Shapiro were honored guests at this session. In other recent events for the Older Adults, Gloria Wagner, gave a beautiful piano performance at Temple Israel on April 9. Accordionist Leonard Mostek, entertained the group at Beth El on April 10 and the members heard Sergeant Richards, also at Temple Israel, talk about neighborhood protection. General and former Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Yitzhak Pundak and Mrs. Pundak were welcome visitors at recent meetings. They were the guests of Dr. and Mrs. Milton Margolin. The Older Adults are now looking forward to many exciting events. Mollie Delman has plans for a bus trip to Lincoln on May 6; a luncheon and program at Temple Israel on Wednesday, May 7, and the annual Mother's Day party on Monday, May 12. On Sunday, May 18, at 3 p.m. there will be a Music Festival at the JCC sponsored by the Older Adults, and featuring Cantors Leo Fettman, Robert Shapiro and Gall Karp of Lincoln. There will not be meetings on Thursday, May 22, which Is Shavout, nor Monday, May 26, the Memorial Day holiday. Looki forward to the pre-Sabbath luncheon on Friday, May 23, at Beth Israel. Interesting art classes will be held at the Center, with drawing on Mondays and the art of painting stained glass on Tuesdays. Also take advantage of the. free health tests on the second Thursday of the month at Beth El from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. arid the fourth Monday at the Center from 1 to 3 p.m. Be sure to make reservations by calling 453-7400. The May calendar will be in the mail shortly with some very attractive events for the Older Adults.

Israel Faces Critical Decisions By Boris Smolar (Kdilor-ln chief e m e n i u i , J.T.A > (Copyright 1i«0, Jewish Telegraphic Agency. Inc >
Severe challenges and critical decisions will be faced by Israel In the coming weeks and months. The difficulties for Israel will reach a high point of May 26, the target date — though not the deadline — for the negotiations for the kind of autonomy the Arab population In Gaza and the West Bank will be given by Israel under the Camp David agreements. Difficult bargaining between Egypt and Israel lies ahead, with the U.S. government directly Interested in the process; also with mounting pressure on the part of the governments of England,' France, West Germany and other West European countries that are inching toward a more pro-Arab stance. Their attitude will be reflected in United Nations debates in July. These countries are expected to pressure the United States to "go beyond" the UN Resolution 242 on which the Camp David agreements are based. They want to bring In the terrorist Palestine Liberation Organization into partnership in the EgyptianIsraeli negotiations. Saudi Arabia, commanding increased leverage with our government and other oil-dependent nations, is similarly pressuring the United States and Egypt to alter Camp David policies at Israel's expense, and to accept the PLO as a negotiating partner. Saudi Arabia is also insisting on Arab control over Jerusalem; she leads the Arab world on this issue. Intensive action to frustrate attempts to force Israel Into making concessions on the Camp David agreements that would be inimical to her security is now being mapped by leading Jewish organizations in this country. Their plans provide for redoubling their efforts to explain to the American people exactjy what Camp David docs and does not demand of Israel; the accomplishments they already reached during the process of its implementation — which are virtually ignored; and the importance of avoiding one-sided pressure by the U.S. on Israel. The American Jewish Committee, which cannot be linked to 'Zionism" even by the most extreme Arab propagandists because of its record as a non-Zionist group since Its founding In 1906, is one of the organizations. It is now set to play a dominant role in the intensified efforts to interpret Israel and the Middle East peace to the American people. It has placed this committment as top priority on its 1980 program. It is determined to convince Americans — the general public as well as non-Jewish religious and civic groups — of the importance to having the US ket-p a balanced and positive stand in the negotiations emanating from the Camp David accords. Its present position is that U.S. implementation of Camp David has been inconsistent, often confusing to American allies, often comfort to Israel's enemies, as occurred with the recent U.S. approval of the UN Security Council's anti-Israel resolution which was subsequently disavowed by President Carter as a "mistake.'.' The question which the AJCommitee asks now is — what Is the American government stance today? Its annual convention, scheduled to take place in New York in the middle of May, willi

go on record as pledging the organization to help frustrate attempts to force Israel into making concessions that would spell danger to her security. MEASURING PUBLIC OPINION Because the AJCommlttee Is known as being non-Zionist — it is not even a member of the conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations — and goes its own way in seeking proper treatment by the U.S. of Israel, its Influence In Washington is quite substantial. Its explanations of issues concerning Israel to non-Jewish groups are similarly taken seriously; they are considered as sober analysis and not as propaganda. The Israel government highly appreciates the strength It gets form the AJCommlttee, even though the organization does not always say "yes" to Israel's policies. One of the functions of the AJCommittee Is to take from time to time the pulse of the American public with regard to Arab-Israel issues. The organization does this through the Gallop Poll, Harris Poll and other institutions specializing in measuring American public opinion. The results of the polls are usually not made public by the Committee, however they are of great help to the organization in finding its way to elements in the population which seem to be dangerously ignorant on issues concerning Israel. At the same, the findings of the polls are communicated to top Israeli leaders giving them an idea of the impact of Israeli policies and pronouncements on American public opinion. Incidentally, a Gallop Poll conducted for the AJCommittee last September revealed that 50 percent of all Americans rejected the notion that American Jews are more loyal to Israel than to America; (29 percent felt they were, 21 percent had no opinion). A recent Yankelovich Poll conducted for the AJCommlttee exposed the lie that Jews have excessive power over U.S. policy. The findings have shown that the Jews rank lowest in a list o( nine groups said to influence U.S. government policies. EGYPTIAN-ISRAELI TIES In a move to establish the present moods in Egypt toward Israel, top leaders of the American Jewish Committee recently visited Egypt without any publicity. They were cordially received. They are now exploring with key Israelis and Egyptians how American Jews might help promote economic cooperation between the two countries. On the other hand, the AJCommittee will continue to monitor the Arab Involvement In the American economy and will watch how the federal regulations against the Arab boycott of American firms are being enforced. It will also watch the financial and employment practices of American companies doing, or hoping to do, business with Arab countries. It will also remain alert to the anti-Israel activities on the campuses and other evidence of anti-Jewish Arab influence.
Echoes LONDON, (JTA) - Echoes of Britain's disagreement with the United States over the Palestine problem 30 years ago were sounded with the release of the British Cabinet papers of 1949. They recalled that Ernest Bevin, the Foreign Secretary, complained to the Cab!' net about "the Instability" and "vacillation" of American policy In the Middle East. For example, President Truman had promised support for a United Nations resolution backing the Internationa-. llzatlon of Jerusalem yet shortly afterwards, the U.S.
State Department seemed to be offering different proposals, particularly with regard to Trans-Jordan. In the debate, Aneurin Bcvari, the Health Minister, challenged the basis of Britain's whole approach to the region. He doubted if Britain's position could be maintained through the support of "unstable and reactionary" Arab governments. Instead he wanted Britain to befriend the Jews who would give her all the facilities needed to establish strong military based In Palestine.

A Book Review: CONGRESS AND ISRAEL by Marvin C. Feuerwerger. Westport, Conn., Greenwood Press, 235 pages, $23.95 By David Friedman (Copyright 1M0, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)
Although public opinion polls show that the American people are not enamored with foreign aid, appropriations for Israel have no trouble getting through Congress. In fact, as Marvin Feuerwerger shows In "Congress and Israel," the support for Israel Is used to get the full foreign aid bill through Congress. This Is particularly true of military assistance which has become increasingly under attack in Congress in recent years. Feuerwerger, who is a deputy senior advisor to President Carter In the office of what is basically the President's advisor on Jewish affairs, was a guest scholar at the Brookings Institution when he made this study of foreign aid decision making in the House of Representatives from 1969 to 1976, the Nixon and Ford Administrations. He had formerly been briefly a legislative aide for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). What Feuerwerger found is that a majority of Congressmen support aid to Israel because they consider the Jewish State a fellow democratic nation and because of what they believe is United States commitment" to Israel. Feuerwerger found many Congressmen who cited the Holocaust as reasons for their support of Israel including two of the younger members. Congressmen with large Jewish populations naturally support aid for Israel. But so, Feuerwerger points out, do Congressmen with tew or no Jews In their districts. However, even though most of the 36 Congressmen who voted for an amendment by Rep. David R. Obey (D.Wis.) to reduce military credits to Israel by $200 million came from districts with few Jews, most Congressmen from this type of district voted agalnst-the amendment. The reason, as one Congressman told the author, some audiences by being for Israel, but you can't make points with is "you can make a lot of points with/anybody by being against Israel." However, Congress on aid for Israel, as they do in other areas, look to experts in the field for advice, In this case the House Foreign Affaire Committee which has always given full
support to Israel. On this committee, Feuerwerger finds that the most important members on Issues dealing with Israel are Reps. Benjamin Rosenthal, Stephen Solarz and Jonathan Blngham, all New York Democrats. Some Congressmen also turn to Solarz, Rosenthal and other Jews in their district. Feuerwerger also points to the importance of Jewish unity. He said this has been accomplished by having the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations speak on Jewish policy issues to the Administration while AIPAC lobbies Congress. Feuerwerger has praise for the work of AIPAC both In contacting Congressmen and for Its effectiveness In coordinating legislative strategy on issues affecting Israel. At the same time, Feuerwerger notes that Arab groups, oil companies, pro-Arab diplomats and anti-Zionists have not been able to make any headway in blocking support for Israel. Feuer-. werger says that while this may be changing, more Congressmen are visiting Arab countries and sympathy for the Palestinians is growing, support for Israel is likely to continue in Congress for the foreseeable future. While describing the House's dealings on aid for Israel during the Nixon and Ford Administrations, Feuerwerger stresses that Congress during this period did not want to interfere with the Administration's Middle East diplomacy. However, when the Administration acted In ways that Congress perceived as harmful to Israel, Congress stepped In. Thus, 76 Senators wrote to President Ford in 1976 causing him to abandon his "reassessment" of U.S. policy toward Israel. Congress has frequently provided more funds for Israel than the Administration has requested and it has made It virtually impossible for any Administration to use a threat of a cutoff in aid to pressure Israel. At the same time, Feuerwerger points out that Congress will not try to stop efforts by an Administration to Improve relations with the Arab countries even if friends of Israel believe that some acts are harmful to the Jewish State, such as the sale of 60 F-15 jet warplanes to Saudi Arabia In 1978. The information provided In this scholarly, but readable book, should be of interest to the general reader and of extreme value to those concerned with maintaining U.S. aid for Israel.

Campaign Hot Line
In recent weeks, out In the community Rabbi Henry Karp of the South Street Temple has: conducted a two-day Jewish Emphasis Program at Nebraska Wesleyan University; given a Judaism orientation lecture to 650 United Methodist confirmands.
Please excuse us If our pride is showing. We have good reason to be proud at this point in the Women's Campaign. We have attained an overall Increase of over 26%. To be so far ahead Is certainly a major achievement. The credit (or this wonderful progress belongs to all the leaders and the workers. They have displayed unusual dedication and cooperation in their striving (or success. Since our last "hotline" column, the final three major events of the Campaign were held. We share with you the outcome of these events. 1. The Chal & Grand Gifts Division event was held on April 17. It was an elegant kosher catered luncheon which took place at the Regency Lake & Tennis Club. At this event, a 55% increase in giving was shown. This reflects an awareness of the needs and the willingness to translate that awareness Into dollars. 2. On Sunday morning, April 20, we held the first of two telethon sessions. The second session was held on Wednesday evening, April 23. Most of the telethon cards were completed, and the remainder will most certainly have been contacted by the time you read this article. To date, this year's telethon shows a 9% increase over last year. 3. A beautiful luncheon meeting was held by the Older Adults Division on April 21. Excellent presentations were made and meaningful words were spoken. The cards signed at this event showel an increase in this Division o( 20%. At this stage in the Campaign with more than hall of the solicitation cards In, we are hopeful that with your continued cooperation the remaining cards will reflect the same measure of increased giving. Our next column will bring you a more complete progress report. We close this week's column with the words of one of our contributors in her simple yet eloquent way, "The more 1 give, the more 1 get". It is such beautiful words and deeds that have helped us meet with success thus far in our Campaign endeavors.

Debbie Friedman is one of the best Jewish artists in America, today, according to Hazzan Robert Shapiro of Beth El Synagogue. Other Omahans who have heard her are equally enthusiastic. For instance, Av Greenbcrg, his wife and several others from Temple Israel were attending a convention of Reform congregations In New York City where they heard Debbie's music at a Shabbat service. "The experience was one which none of us will ever forget." In fact, kochav-yam means In addition to all the Synagogue offices tickets are now avail"star (kochavi of the sea (yam)" and which we, in Kn- able al the front desk at the Jewish Community Center and from Nate and Hannah Schwalb, ticket co-Chairmen, 333-9494. glish, call "starfish."

where living as a Jew has meant living off one? Was there ever a greater era for Jews than the Golden Age of Spain — and didn't that gold turn to ashes? Were Jews ever more prominent than In Germany before the Fall? : . . ••• In the life ot a country, thirty two years are but a moment In time, yet there is no doubt that In that brief period of time Israel has made its mark, not only as the center of Jewish life everywhere, but also as a symbol for lovers of freedom whoever and wherever they may be. A struggling group of 650,000,32 years later is a dynamic State or more than four million, with Its flag flying proudly over the embassy of Israel In Cairo and its face turned to a future of peace and progress for itself and for its neighbors. Israel was not given on a silver platter, and can promise nobody 'a garden of roses.' But one thing can be assured: Israel is here to stay, and it Is here that Jewish life, in all its elaborate richness, will continue to develop and thrive. Here the Jew can be sure that he has found a permanent home. Here, and only here, Is the Jewish past recalled, the Jewish present shaped and the Jewish future assured.
EreU Yisrael was the birthplace of the Jewish people. Here there spiritual, religious and political identity was shaped. Here they first attained statehood, created cultural values of national and universal significance and gave to the world the eternal Book of Books. After being forcibly exiled from their land, the people kept faith with it throughout their Dispersion and never ceased to pray and hope for their return to it and for the restoration in it of their political freedom. Impelled by this historic and traditional attachment, Jews strove In every successive generation to re-establish themselves in their ancient homeland. (In recent decades they returned in their masses. Pioneers, ma'apilim "illegal" immigrants) and- defenders, they made deserts bloom, revived the Hebrew language, built villages and towns, and created a thriving community, controlling its own economy and culture, loving peace but knowing how to defend itself, bringing the blessings of progress to all the country's inhabitants, and aspiring towards independent nationhood. In the year 5G57 (1897), at the summons of the spiritual father of the Jewish State, Theodor Herzl, the First Zionist Congress convened and proclaimed the right of the Jewish people to national rebirth in its own country. This right was recognized in the Balfour Declaration of the 2nd November, 1917, and reaffirmed In the Mandate of the League of Nations which, in particular, gave International sanction to the historic connection between the Jewish people and Eretz Yisrael and to the right of the Jewish people to rebuild Its National Home. The catastrophe which recently befell the Jewish people — the massacre of millions of Jews In Europe—was another clear demonstration of the urgency of solving the problem of Its homelessnoss by re-establishing In Eretz Yisrael the Jewish State, which should open the gates of the homeland wide to every Jew and confer upon the Jewish people the status of a fully-privileged member of the comity of na-
tions. Survivors of the Nail Holocaust in Europe, as well as Jews from other parts of the world, continued to migrate to Eretz Yisrael, undaunted by difficulties, restrictions and dangers, and never ceased to assert their right to a life of dignity, freedom and honest toil in their national homeland. In the Second World War, the Jewish community of this country contributed its full share to the struggle of the freedom and peace-loving nations against the forces of Nazi wickedness and, by the blood of its soldiers and its war effort, gained the right to the reckoned among the peoples who founded the United Nations. On the 29th November, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution calling for the establishment of a Jewish State in Eretz Yisrael; the General Assembly required the inhabitants of Eretz Yisrael to take such steps as were necessary on their partifor the implementation of that resolution. This recognition by the United Nations of the right of the Jewish people to establish their State is irrevocable. This right is the natural right of the Jewish people to be masters of their own fate, like all other nations! In their own sovereign State. Accordingly we, members of the People's Council, representatives of the Jewish Community of Eretz Yisrael and of the Zionist Movement, are here assembled on the day of the termination of the British Mandate over Eretz Ysiael and, by virtue of our national historic right and on the strength ot the resolution of the United Nations General Assembly, hereby declare the establishment of a Jewish State In Eretz Yisrael, to be known as the State of Israel.., THE STATE OF ISRAEL will be open for Jewish immigration and for the Ingathering of the Exiles; It will foster the development of the country for the benefit of all Inhabitants; It will be based on freedom, Justice and peace as
envisaged by the prophets of Israel; It will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex; it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture; it will safeguard the Holy Places'of all religions; and it will be faithful to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations. THE STATE OF ISRAEL is prepared to cooperate with the agencies and representatives of the United Nations in implementing the resolution o( the General Assembly of the 29th November, 1947, and will take steps to bring about the economic union of the whole Eretz Yisrael. WE APPEAL to the United Nations to assist the Jewish people in the building-up of its State and to receive the State ol Israel into the comity of nations. WE APPEAL - in the very midst ot the onslaught launched against us now for . months — to the Arab inhabitants of the State of Israel to preserve peace and participate in the upbuilding of the State on the basis of full and equal citizenship and due representation in all its provisional and permanent institutions. WE EXTEND our hand to all neighboring states- and their peoples in an offer of peace and good neighborliness, and appeal to them to establish bonds of cooperation and mutual help with the sovereign Jewish people settled in its own land. The State of Israel is prepared to do its share in common effort for the advancement of the entire Middie East. i' WE APPEAL to the Jewish '. people throughout the Diaspora to rally round the Jews of Eretz Yisrael in the tasks of Immigration and upbuilding and to stand by them In the great struggle for the realization of the age-old dream — the redemption of Israel. Placing our trust In the Almighty, we affix our signatures to this Proclamation at this session o< the Provisional Council of State, on the soil of the Homeland, in the city of Tel Aviv on this Sabbath Eve, the 5th Day of Iyar, 5708 (14th May, 1948).

Leaders Meet Pope Pope John Paul II greets Howard Squadron (center), president of the American Jewish Conss, and Henry Slegman, executive director, at an audience at the Vatican (April 16). Mr. Squadron urged the Pontiff to express strong support for the Camp David accords and stressed the importance of a unified Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, ."with free access to all faiths." The American Jewish Congress leader also conveyed the Jewish people's unity with Israel as an "essential dimension of understanding and dialgue between the two faiths." Mr. Squadron and Mr. Siegman led a delegation of American Jewish Congress leaders on a mission that Included visits with top government officials in Jerusalem and Cairo prior to their arrival in Rome.

Council Condemns Policy PARIS (JTA)-The Council putting both sides, Israel and of Europe, an assembly representing 21 West European national parliaments, condemned Israel for Its settlement policy, recognized Palestinian "right to self-determination" and called on West European governments to take joint action in order to "complete or replace" United National Security Council Resolution 242. The Council of Europe's resolution, which had beendrafted by the Council's polltlcal c o m m i s s i o n , was approved by 170 votes with no opposition and only 10 abstentions. The Council was traditionally considered the most pro-Israeli of all International organizations, a bastion of Israelis friends among West European parliaments. Israeli sources said they were surprised both by the resolution itself and by the overwhelming majority which approved It. Israeli observer, Micha Harish, said the resolution "will hurt peace in the Middle East and Western Europe itself." The Council resolution says that "Israel's refusal to recognize the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and independence is an obstacle to a peaceful settlement." It adds that the Palestine Liberation Organization refusal to recognize Israel's right to exist Is also a stumbling block

the PLO, on the same level. The resolution condemns the Israel government's settlement policy, calling It illegal, and calls on Israel to withdraw from the occupied territories. It also calls for a "special status" for Jerusalem without specifying what It should be. The Council's political commission drafted the resolution after a study mission visited Israel, Jordan, Syria and Egypt. .

Sincerely Yours BySusieTretUk Has your angelic child ever decided to pull one of his screaming tantrums in the middle of a public place much to your bewilderment and the amazement of the other 10,000 people witnessing this performance? In this terrific set of circumstances I like to turn to the person next to' me and ask — Who's child is that? — praying she doesn't realize the heritage Is mine. I remember quite well when one of my children decided he had had enough while touring the biography section of the public library. (Had he Just gone over one more aisle we would have reached the child psychology section and at least we could have found a solution to the tantrum.) But, all of a sudden I feel a close identification with this "childish behavior." So many times I, too, want to lay down on the floor and kicking my arms and legs against the ground — yell out to the whole world. Which one of us at any age is not filled wlthanger and rage throughout many stages of life or even periods within each day? No matter what stage in life we occupy — we all must have a release from the everyday stresses and tensions that we encounter when we cope with what life has to offer. I always knew something was building up Inside of me — but watching young "screaming brats" in public areas helped me give it a name. Anger, Indeed, is one of our strongest emotions. And perhaps, one of the hardest with which to find a solution. There has to be a way to get It all out — rejuvenate the soul, cleanse the mind. 1 recognize anger many times in my own children now. Their screaming and hitting upon each other really is a build up of the anger accumulated throughout the day. (And all this time I've always attributed these verbal and physical knockouts as pure hatred). Each child serves as a punching bag for the other. We all need that outlet-that escape from anger. I remember how horrified I was when my oldest kicked a dent in his closet door (full to the brim with anger), he needed an outlet. (I'll never understand what made me switch from sneakers to cowboy boots). What a hole! At least he kicked his distress, he kicked his anger, he kicked his Inner need for release. He "kicked: and was himself kicked swiftly In the seat of his pants, (I, too, needed to release my anger.) About a year later, my five year old, following In his brother's footsteps, kicked a hole in the bathroom door. (My luck — the hole is at eye level with my two year old and now she finds me even when I'm hiding Iri there). Well, he, too, felt better, but I'm tired of replacing doors. We all do have to yell, scream, punch, run, hit, eat, smoke, write, clean or use whatever crutches are available to help in our release. Otherwise we'll all end up mentally unsound, weakened with ulcers and bad hearts. Well kids — homework piling up? Chores undone? Next time you feel the urge to pound your little sister, or scream at your mother — here Is a solution. Moms — do you find yourself chasing after your helpless little dog for no reason? Tired of being an unappreciated taxi service, sick of facing another two hours of meal preparations followed by the usual five minute sit-down dinner?

Step 1: Pick an Interesting cloth container — perhaps decbrate your own by writing upon it the most obscene words that come to mind. Step 2: Gather stuffing. Kids — find all your old homework assignments that didn't show your best effort. Draw funny pictures of all your teachers and stuff your bags. Moms — search for all those old "chocolate stained" diet recipes. Gather posters of Cheryl Tiegs, Farrah Fawcett or any others your husband may have lying around. Especially find all those TV listings showing football game schedules and stuff away. Dads — throw in all those unpaid bills. Or perhaps your anger focuses on your wife's staple pair of blue jeans. Throw in pictures of all your nagging relatives and you, too, stuff. Everyone gather'any old clothes, paper sacks, newspapers, magazines (any article containing the world "Ayatollah" should definately be stuffed) — old Jewish Presses (after they've been read, of course) — and fill up your bag. Step 3: Tie up the opening and hang from the ceiling. Let bag fall to foot level or waist level — adjust to whichever style you prefer at the time — whether it be a good kick or a "blow with . the right." (Caution: Bag not Intended to hold any humans. This means no child, wife, husband, mother-in-law, etc., should be placed a a banger) There It Is — an "anger banger," Kick It, hit It, bite it,, smash it — it's yours — fill it with whatever angers you at the lime and bang away!
Canada MONTREAL (JTA) - Canada's new Secretary of State for External Affairs, Mark MacGuigan, has made it clear that his country will not emulate the pro-Arab bias shown by West European countries dependent on Arab oil. Although 40 percent of Its crude oil Imports come from Saudi Arabia, MacGuigan declared In a recent interview that "Canada does not depend on the Middle East for its oil and therefore we shall not follow France and Austria In taking measures favorable to the Palestine Liberation Organization." Apparently referring to moves by the European Economic Community (EEC) to alter United Nations Security Council Resolution 242 in a way that would change the status of Palestinians from refugees to a political entity, MacGuigan stressed that "Canada stands by the 242 and 338 resolutions of the United Nations." He observed that the EEC countries "are acting under the pressure of their need of
oil. It Is not an entirely noble cause but this probably constitutes the basis of their policy." MacGuigan, who took office after Premier Pierre Elliott Trudeau's Liberal Party defeated the Progressive Conservative Party of Prime Minister Joe Clark in the elections In February, said he favored "development of relations between Canada and Saudi Arabia." However, he noted that Canada does not exert much Influence in the Middle East and consequently there was no need for It to seek stronger ties with such countries as Syria and Lebanon. With respect to the adoption of a special law to combat the Arab boycott of Canadian firms that do business with Israel, MacGuigan said,"I shall fight against all attempts and abuses.!' He said he hoped to act by ministerial decisions rather than through an antiboycott law because, In his view, administrative measures will avoid divisions within the Liberal Party which a special anti-boycott law might produce. .

Pressure Expected JERSULEM, (JTA) - Israel is bracing Itself for a bout of diplomatic pressure over recent violent incidents between Maj. Saad Haddad's Christian militia and allied Shi'lte villagers In south Lebanon and units of the United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon (UNIFIL), especially Its Irish contingent. The Irish government has already launched a diplomatic initiative on three separate planes designed to bring Israel to loosen its ties with the Haddad militia which Ireland holds responsible for the recent murder of two of soldiers bySm'ltevlllagers. Israel, for its part, has made it clear to the Irish government and to other interested parties that it does not propose to weaken its support for Haddad, who it considers a security asset because his border strip bars Palestinian terrorist infiltrators and because of Israel's longstanding commitment to the Lebanese Christians to prevent their destruction by the Syrians, the Palestine Liberation Organization or the Indigenous Moslem majority. Premier Menachcm Begin made these points when he reported to the ministers on his meeting with Irish Ambassador Sean Ronan. Ronan had conveyed to Begin the "deep personal concern" of Ireland's Premier and demanded that Israel take action to restrain Haddad's men. Begin told the Cabinet that he had promised Ronan that Israel would "do Its best" to influence Haddad. "But we cannot give him orders," the Premier had noted. Begin said he explained to the Irish envoy the nature of the "blood feud" tradition under which the Shi'ltes, who lost a teenage boy to Irish gun-

fire two weeks earlier, saw themselves bound to hit back at the Irish battalion until a "sulha" (reconciliation) was arranged. Ronan told reports here this week that he does not accept the distinction which Begin and other policymakers make between Haddad's militia and the Shi'ite villagers. The Irish diplomatic initiative is aimed in three directions. This three-pronged effort is designed, according to Ronan, to achieve the short-term goal of greater safety for Irish and other UNIFIL troops and the long-term goal of enabling UNIFIL to extend its area of control into the "enclaves" presently run by Haddad. The Irish unit In concert with UNIFIL has begun evacuating four outposts situated within Haddad-controlled territory in an effort to reduce tensions In the area at least to a limited extent. Irish soldiers manning these positions were being replaced today by Norwegians and others. Ronan says his government believes Haddad is not effective in stopping PLO incursions Into Israel while UNIFIL has had a good record in this respect and would be even more effective If it did not have to worry itself about , Haddd's constant harassment of Its forces. Israel's position — and there are no signs In Jerusalem that this basic position Is undergoing review — is that Haddad has been effective in preventing PLO excursions and.that UNIFIL's record in this respect is patchy at best. Israeli sources point out that some 30 or more Palestinian terrorist encampments are known to exist within the UNIFIL-controlled area.

The Sovlet-F.L.O. axis has^nctioned as a full-flddged alliance since 1977, when Moscow started shipping heavy weapons to th P.L.O. since 1974, more than 1,000 terrorists, c >mprising an "elite cadre" of the P.L.O., have been trained and politically in doctrinated in the Soviet Union, undergoing intens ve training in terrorist tactics and the use of a wide variety of explosive devices. At the conference of 91 so-called "non-aligned" na Ions in Havana during September, 1979. Castro and Arafat, tw of Moscow's main allies in the "Third World," cooperated and [layed leading roles. The lesson for Americans from the Havana Conference is that the P.L.O. is the spearhead of anti-Ameri an and antiWestern forces In the Middle East and that the P.I,.O. and Cub.-i share broader goals, made in Moscow, whose t< •gets are not merely "Zionism" but "imperialism," "colonlalls n"and"neocolonialism" — code words used by the Kremlin ind Its Cuban and P.L.O. allies for America and the non-Commu list West. Thi: P.L.O. labels Israel as its enemy, but Us real am larger foe Is the U.S. and Its war to destroy Israel serves the,' oviet drive to control the Middle East. As the decade of the 1980's begins, it is clear that he U.S. faces scrlus threats to Its vital strategic_and.national iccurlty Interests In the Middle East. It Is not a time for llfusioi wTlFrespecT to the Soviet Union or Its P.L.O. ally, nor a time f >r submission to blackmail. Yet voices already are head In Ihe Vest contending that one way to counter the Soviet threat Is tomove quickly to a "deal" that would give the P.L.O., ally of t c Kremlin, a state of its own alongside Israel and Jordan, botl of whom it is sworn to destroy. The notion that such a P.L.O. controlled "Afghanistan" will bring stability to the Middle East, let alone peace is an Illusion the American people and their government will | irsue at their own peril. For the P.L.O. has not changed and Is not changing. As Moscow's ally, the P.L.O. is part of the proble n confronting the United States and the non-Communist world in the Middle East — not part of the solution.

Tennis Courts We know many of you have been asking why haven't the tennis courts been open? The Building and Grounds Committee, Center Board of Directors and Staff have been meeting with engineers and consultants who have been analyzing some of the problems related to the courts such as the cracks, low areas, where water continually lies, etc! The engineers have recommended that this spring we clean, fill and seal the cracks which they say will leave a very smooth surface and will not interfere with play. They have also recommended putting in some type of drainage system to eliminate the water that has been running on the courts from the pool and snack area. We are looking lo make these corrections as soon as possible this spring so that the courts will definately be open for our summer playing time and hopefully sooner. We also plan on re-surfacing the courts with a new color coat and stripping. The engineers recommend that we do the resurfacing during the hottest time of the summer. So as not to interfere with our leagues, classes and open play, we are looking to do the re-surfacing during the latter part of August. We earnestly solicit your understanding and patience. Swing into summer at your JCC and sign up for our summer instructional classes and leagues.

The'chlldren competed in a tug-a-war, obstacle course, running events, ballon blowing contest and many more activities. All children received an official Maccabiah ribbon and medal at the end of the competition.
