Israel to Export Combat Planes TEL AVIV (JTA) - Defense Minister Ezer Welzman said that the U.S. has agreed to permit Israel to export its second generation combat plane, to be known as the Lavie, which will be powered by a General Electric engine. Weizman made the disclosure on his return from Washington where he met with President Carter, Defense Secretary Harold Brown and other Administration and Pentagon officials. American permission is needed for Israel to export any military plane it manufactures which incorporates American parts. Sales abroad of the first generation Israeli jet fighter, the Kfir, ran into difficulties on this point and several orders were lost because of U.S. objections. According to Welzman, the new agreement will allow Israel to sell the Lavle to any country the U.S. sells to. This will open a huge market for the new aircraft. Weizman said that Joseph Maayan, Director General of the Defense Ministry, remained in Washington to conclude a contract with General Electric for the Lavie engine. He said he expected no problems to arise with respect to the production of the plane and alerted its manufacturer, Israel Aircraft Industries, to prepare for the big job.
Jewish Holocaust Survivors Plan An international gathering of Jewish Holocaust survivors is scheduled to be held In Israel on June 15-18, 1981. It is envisioned as an event of major historical consequence In contemporary Jewish life, and is being organized by the survivors themselves as the World Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors. The international event will be held under the patronage of Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel. Author Elle Wlesel, chairman of the United States President's Commission on the Holocaust, has agreed to serve as honorary chairman. At press conferences held in New York, Paris, and Melbourne spokesmen for the' group expressed their hopes that survivors throughout the world will participate. Members of the organizing group said that the press conferences have been arranged for the purpose of informing sur-
vivors of the planned gatherIng because no records of survivors exist anywhere in the world.
Mr. Wiesel commented that, "The gathering will be a unique event in our lives. Only by remembering what happened under the Nazi oppression can we be expected to remind and advise others how to prevent another such catastrophe. Only by remembering what happened to us can others be assured it will not happen to them."
Ernest Michel, a survivor and spokesman in New York, said, "It's been nearly 36 years since our liberation from the Nazis and we want to serve notice on the world that the Holocaust will never be forgotten." Mr. Michel added that, "Because of the advanc- .

'will never reappear again.
"We must become aware," he noted, "that a new brand of genocide is being promoted by those I would term anti-Semitic 'ghouls'." Criticising United Nations actions and resolutions aimed against the State of Israel, Mr. Sultanlk added: "We, the Jewish survivors, have developed a particularly deep sensitivity toward these issues. Even as we live in the free world, we are constantly conscious of the fact that the Holocaust was a total Ideological commitment to a final solution for an entire people and that the heirs and followers of that evil ideology, now emerged from their lairs, are signalling another Holocaust. The convening in Israel of the world gathering of Jewish Holocaust survivors at a symbolic date Is, therefore, most timely." Among the activities being
planned for the World Gathering are the following: The construction of a permanent monument made from rocks brought to Israel by all participating survivors, An opening meeting and memorial service at Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Martyrs and Heroes Remembrance Authority center in Jerusalem. The dedication of an archive to include each survivor's autobiography recorded on a tape cassette. Simultaneous meetings for participants in the three kibbutzim In Israel that were founded by survivors. The collection and permanent exhibition of Holocaust keepsakes (such as concentration camp prisoner suits) brought to Israel for preservation. A march of survivors through the streets of Jerusa-
lem to the Western Wall. Ceremonies at the three major Israeli kibbutzim, or collective farms, where survivors reside. A concluding rally and concert at the Stadium in Ramat Gan, a suburb of Tel Aviv. Planning and preparations for the World Gathering are being conducted in consultation and cooperation with a group of survivors in Israel, including members of Kibbutz Netzer Sercni and other settlements created by individu-' als and families that escaped annihilation by Nazi Germany. Former partisans and resistance fighters, as well as survivors of concentration camps, ghettoes .and hiding places were urged to contact: Samuel R.

Dead at 80 JERUSALEM (JTA) Rabbi Pinhas Levin, a veteran leader of the world Aguda movement, died here at the age of 80 and was burled on the Mount of Olives. The son of the
leading pre-war Plolsh Rabbi Hanoch Hacohen of Bandin and brother of the longtime world Aguda chairman and Israeli Minister and Knesset member Meir Levin, Pinhas Levin was himself active in Aguda affairs from an early age in pre-war Europe. Arriving in Palestine in 1940, Levin immediately set about creating here the Beth Jacob Orthodox education network for girls which Hitler
was destroying together with the rest of European Jewry. For many years Levin himself headed the main Beth Jacob Teachers Seminary in Jerusalem. A broadly cultured'man whose hobby was painting (he took his brushes and easel with him wherever he travelled), Levin also edited the Orthodox literary monthly Beth Jacob and, for a time, the Aguda daily Hamodia. He was a scion of the Hasidlc House of Gur.
Cold Cure RKHOVOT (ZINS) - At Kibbutz Netzer-Sereni near Itehovot, there has been developed the most effective treatment yet known for the common cold. Based on the Idea of a scientist at the Weismann Institute, the kibbutz has patented the Rhlnotherm, a little box they assert will bring relief to sufferers of the common cold and allergies. The concept is simple: warm the patient's nose to a certain temperature and the cold Itself, as well as its symptoms, can be aborted. Rhinotherm produces a stream of wet, h.ot air which the patient inhales for 15 minutes. In most cases — 85% of those tested so far — there is immediate relief from the runny nose, headache and general malaise after one treatment. Follow-up tests reveal no side effects of the treatment and no recurrence Another Russian family arrived In town last week to be resettled under the sponsorship of the Jewof the cold.

Senator Edward Zorinsky noted the 49th birthday of Ida Nudel with a statement published in the Congressional Record as follows: Mr. ZORINSKY, Mr. President, I join my colleagues today in commemorating the April 27 birthdate of Ida Nudel with a mixture of happiness and regret. The birthday of this heroine who has struggled mightily against the repression of the Soviet Union should be a happy occasion. But the world looks on with deep sorrow and regret at the continued imprisonment of this valiant woman by Soviet authorities whose action in this case elevates the shabbiness of religious discrimination to the posture of a governmental policy and lowers the right of free speecn to the status of a common crime. Ida Nudel's only transgression was to express her desire to immigrate to Israel. From the balcony of her apartment she draped a banner which read: "KGB, Give My My Visa." The soviet authorities denied her request fearing Ida Nudel and the many others like her, who, if allowed, would vote with their feet in the only honest election that nation has ever known. Despite her long history of serious heart and kidney problems and the necessity to travel long distances to receive medical care, Ida Nudel continues to live out her sentence of 4 years of internal exile in Siberia. The Soviet Government has evidenced no concern for her worsening health or for the pleas of others that she be given her freedom. On this 49th anniversary of her birth, I join my colleagues, the American people-, and the free men and women everywhere in renewing the call for Ida Nudel's release, her plight tugs at the heart with a force with the Soviet leadership should take no pride in withstanding.

A Tribute The editor of the Jewish Press has the right to present an editorial on any subject. This right did not come about by accident, but did evolve over a period of time through the efforts of dedicated members of the Jewish Press Committee. Thus, it is only fitting that this editorial be presented to recognize two stalwart champions of the Jewish Press: Stanford Lipsey and Allan Noddle. Mr. Lipsey has served on the Jewish Press Committee for more than 25 years and has served as chairman for five years. His advice and guidance have been of monumental importance in the developing progress of this newspaper. Allan Noddle has been a conscientious member of the Committee for several years, and has been a driving force in behalf of truth, justice and the Jewish way. Mr. Lipsey now moves on to Buffalo, NY, and Mr. Noddle relocates to Harrisburg, PA. Out of a sense of pride, we have limited our appreciation to their participation on the Jewish Press Committee. In all fairness, however, the Jewish Press had to share their talents with many other facets of the Jewish community. Thus, our loss is the Community's loss. Mr. Lipsey and Mr. Noddle are leaving a mark of accomplishment on the Omaha Jewish Community — a mark that is indelible.
Parents' Day The Dr. Philip Sher Home for the Jewish aged is an institution which is dear to the hearts of all of us. It was a pleasure last week for the Jewish Press to devote a full page of news to the older adults of our community including those residing in the Sher Home. Having had an opportunity to read about their parties, their socials, and their long list of upcoming events must have been a pleasant experience for all of those who have friends and family as residents. But, there is another side to the coin. The Dr. Sher Home is not independently wealthy. Those who are responsible for managing the Sher Home's finances depend upon the income they had projected in order to operate within their budget. This projected income requires that sons and daughters meet obligations regarding their financial participation in the welfare of their parents. This obligation should be looked upon as a sacred commitment and payments should take precedent in managing one's financial affairs. But, the coin is still spinning. It hasn't landed yet. The importance of meeting one's financial obligation cannot be stressed too much. There is, however, an obligation that is much more difficult to talk about. Nothing benefits a family member at the Home more than visits by children and grandchildren. In too many cases, these visits are infrequent. It should not be necessary to wait for artificial holidays like Mother's Day or Father's Day for a child to remember his elderly parents. Every day should be Parents' Day at the Dr. Philip Sher Home.

American Jaw Held Hostage in Moscow — Does Anybody Care? HAIFA — In a world where dozens and scores of innocent people are held hostage by terrorist Individuals or terrorist governments, perhaps the story of still another hostage may no longer cause any great excitement. Thus does the conscience of mankind appear to be anesthetized by sheer repetition of brutalities and injustices. Yet we dare not be silent, and I raise my voice to tell the story of still another hostage, an American citizen who has for some years been held in Moscow against his will. The case Is known to the U.S. State Department, but after all, what's another American citizen more or less? The White House has been informed, but Mr. Carter seems to find the subject of American hostages an embarrassing one. This is the story of Abraham Stolar, age 69, born In Chicago in 1911. His parents took him and his sister to Russia in 1931, a tragic and fatal move. Their American passports were taken away. The father was arrested and disappeared in 1937. The mother died in 1949. The sister was arrested in 1951, held for five years, and went to Israel In 1973. Abe Stolar never gave up hope of getting out of the Soviet Union. For some 20 years he worked as a Russian-English translator; his wife is a chemist. Finally in 1975 he, his wife and son received the precious visas which would permit them to leave. They severed all their ties, shipped their personal belongings including furniture and clothing ahead to Israel, and only Just as they .were about to board the plane out of Moscow, they were turned back and their exit visas cancelled. Since then the Stolars have been in limbo. None of them are Soviet citizens. The reasons offered for their continued detentoon changed from time to time. Once it was said that Abe's translation work had given him access to delicate Information. Another time it was alleged his wife, who retired In 1973, had done secret work. In recent years the Russian authorities don't bother to give any reasons at all. At first the Soviets assured the Stolars everything would eventually be straightened out. They were asked to afford no publicity to their case. They were given opportunity to be reabsorbed into the Soviet economy, but Abe Stolar refused. He insisted on his right to go to Israel. But everything led to a dead end, and he could keep silent no longer. Abe Stolar is not another refusenik like the Russian bom Jews over whom the Soviet officials claim legal jurisdiction. He is an American bom citizen, being held hostage either because of the vagaries of Russian bureaucracy, or for some nefarious reason that has not yet been explained. Somewhere in an Israel warehouse the family belonglns wait for them, while the Stolars eke out a marginal existence in Moscow, never knowing what the morrow will being, hoping against hope that the same illogical, unreasonable policy that holds them against their will might for similar unexplained and inconsistent reason suddenly decide to let them leave — on short notice. As yet, the hoped-for permission has not been received. Abe Stolar has not been forgotten by the Soviets. He Is a
marked man. Registered letters which he has sent to me have mysterously vanished en route. His courage still holds out. If you, dear reader, were being held hostage, would you not want to feel that someone, somehwere, was doing something to help get you released? President Carter, or the State Department, or your U.S. Senator, ought to know how you feel about his spreading habit of holding Americans hostage. Do you have the few moments to write a letter or two? It could help a great deal. Abe Stolar Is wondering if anybody out there knows about him, hears him, cares at all 1
To the Editor: Working with you, as I did in conjunction with ORT's 100th International birthday, is a pleasure. The publicity in the Jewish Press — some of it even unsolicited — was worked out In a most cooperative atmosphere. All of the non-profit organizations must vie for your attention. Every one of them, of course, is a vital link In the lifeline of Jewish survival locally and abroad. But, I am particularly grateful to you for being sensitive to ORT's purposes in this, its centennial year. On behalf of all members of the Omaha Chapter of ORT, thank you. CUuidis Shernuui To the Editor; Re: Letter to the Editor 4/25 by Lisa Berlowltz. With all due respect to Lisa Berlowitz, I feel that she must be reminded that many people have worked for years to achieve equal rights for everyone. It was not long ago that being Jewish or being female might have presented many difficulties In obtaining a Job. We still have a lot of catching up to do so I wish the best of luck to Lisa in her job search and hope that because of the caliber of young woman that I'm sure she is, she will make it easier for her sisters who follow. AnnPlckel To the Editor: On^prll 14, at Beth El, a first awards ceremony sponsored by the older adult groups was held to honor Jewish citizens for outstanding community services. The occasion was phenomenal, leaving an aura of good feeling and optimism with all those who attended. Opening remarks by Ben Laub, director of the Bureau for the Aging, were fast-paced, stimulating and engrossing a larger than usual number of guests.

Spoon-Feeding the Media Byl.L.Kenen Near East Report The U.S. news media's "track record" in the Arab-Israeli conflict has been "miserable." That indictment by Wolf Blitzer, The Jerusalem Post's Washington correspondent and a former editor of this publication, appeared in the April 20 New Republic. failures of the news media to understand the Middle East, Blitzer continues, reflect "pack journalism at Its worst," for "anonymous U.S. officals who have served up planeloads of misinformation between 1977 and 1979 are once again spoon-feeding the best and brlghtests of the American media, who in turn are dutifully shoveling It into their columns and broadcasts." As in the past, gloom and doom editorializing has surfaced again In coverage of the autonomy talks.
to any compromise. The news media are manipulated, Blitzer points out, by administration officials who often evoke "the direst scenarios" in order to increase pressure on negotiators, even though a favorable outcome may be assured and Is at hand. So it was at Camp David, again in Jerusalem lost year and again when President Carter met with Sadat and Begin this month. An atmosphere of deadlock and gloom on the eve of success Is created in order to enhance the chances of success.
On the eve of President Carter's meetings with Egypt's Anwar Sadat and Israel's" Manachem Begin, many In the media endorsed Sadat's view on autonomy and labeled the "intransigent Begin" the obstacle. Thus, Newsweck's April 28 Issue featured the complaints of an Egyptian official that "the Israelis had it their way again— Egypt Is doing all the giving."
A recent visitor, Frank Scott, vice president and general manager of Washington's WRC radio, broadcast a series of editorials In which he strongly supported Israel's position on the origin of the Arab refugee problem and its solution.
In the past, Sadat has frequently charged that he has given everything and received nothing — surely an absurd complaint when one recalls Israel's retreat from large tracts of Sinai, major defense outposts and richly productive oil wells. The Camp David agreement proposed an administrative authority and not one with legislative and judicial powers, such as Sadat has been demanding with Washington's support and which, Israel fears, would Inevitably lead to a Palestinian state. The New York Times, on April 6, pointed out that the Jordanian and the Palestinian refusals to join the autonomy talks are also obstacles, and that Israel could be expected to "pursue a more conciliatory path, only If the case for it Is made by America, whose vision and support they trust." Blitzer maintains that a significant number of U.S. ,.iicia!s are hostile to the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty, consistent with the negative U.S. attitude during Israel's struggle for existence in 1947 and 1948. Rising Arab expectations of victory at that time, and often In later years, reinforced Arab refusal to agree

Can Graduation be on Shabbat? FAIRFAX, VA. - Is It a violation of religious freedom to schedule a high school graduation on the Jewish Sabbath, preventing two Orthodox Jewish girls — twin sisters who are the class valedictorians — from taking part? This is the issue In Stein v. Fairfax County (Va.) School Board, which was heard April 22 by the Circuit Court of Fairfax County. Decision was reserved. The American Jewish Congress and the National Council of Churches of Christ in the United States have filed a joint
frlend-of-the-court brief In support of the sisters' claim that where no compelling Interest exists to justify high school graduation ceremonies on Saturday morning, the religlus freedom of students who cannot attend for religious reasons is abridged. The announcement of the filing of the brief was made by Abraham S. Goldstein, cochairman of the American Jewish Congress Commission on Law and Social Action, and the Rev. Dean M. Kelley, staff associate for Religious and Civil Liberty of the National
Council of Churches. Susan Stein and Lynn Stein filed suit seeking an order changing the date of their high school graduation. The two students, members of W.T. Woodson High School's 1980 graduating class, are also valedictorians of that class. Their graduation exercises are currently scheduled for Saturday morning, June 7. In their lawsuit, they charge that the Saturday morning scheduling of graduation ceremonies burdens their right to the free exercise of religion — guaranteed by both the Vir-
glna and the United States constitutions — by forcing them to choose between observance of the Sabbath and attendance at graduation. The high school principal, who made the scheduling decision, and the school board, which upheld the decision, are defendants in the suit. They maintain that factors of convenience -r and the undesirabillty of establishing a precedent foreclosing the holding of school activities on days with religious significance — Justify the Saturday scheduling of the graduation.

berg committee asked that the meeting be postponed because of the strike. She said there was no grounds to believe that there may have been pressure from the Swedish government not to hold the hearing which is aimed at proving that Wallenberg, who was arrested by Soviet troops who liberated Hungary in January, 1945, may still be alive in a Soviet labor camp. Mrs. Biorck-Kaplan said that because the participants come from all over the world and have busy schedules it
was decided to try to reschedule the hearings for late October. She said they were presently trying to locate a site for the meeting. Annette Lantos, of Hillsborough, California, Western states secretary for the Wallenberg committee, told the JTA that the postponement might work out to the group's advantage since she believes additional witnesses may be located by then who have seen Wallenberg alive in Soviet prisons. She said the Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust
Studies at the Yeshiva University of Los Angeles recently agreed to help the committee. Wallenberg, who, if still alive, would now be 67 years old, Is credited with saving about 100,000 Hungarian Jews from deportation to Auschwitz. British Labor MP GrevUIe Janner, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, is expected to discuss the Wallenberg case at a meeting of the World Jewish Congress' European Executive in Paris this weekend.

Good old American electricity. From OPPD. When you use electricity, you use a source of energy that's made in America, from American resources . . . coal and nuclear fuel. Last year, OPPD used American coal and uranium to generate 99Vi percent of all the electricity we produced for you. Put OPPD electricity to work and you reduce America's dependence on imported oil. You can help cut the outflow of our nation's dollars, as well as your own. .Just as important, when you use electricity you help save oil and other scarce fuels, which are vitally needed for transportation, for the production of fertilizers, plastics and other chemical products, and for agriculture.
Electricity can save you money, too. Think about this. Almost 70 percent of the energy you use in your home is tor heating and cooling. So if you're building a house, if you're burned up about your heating bills or if your present furnace is about worn out, think about this, too. Install the most efficient system you can. Install an electric heat pump. A combined heating and cooling system that could cut your heating costs by as much as 60 percent. Electricity Is the way to go this year. Next year. And In the years to come. OPPD electricity is the way to go. OPPD electricity is American-made, from American resources. OPPD electricity saves scarce fuels. Saves America money. Saves yew money. Efficient, economical electricity. America needs it. We all do.

We are now in the process of concluding the 1980 Women's Division Campaign. About 75% of all pledge cards have been solicited. We undertook a task which we knew would be challenging, but it was a most gratifying experience. A successful ending Is in sight with the dollars raised so far exceeding last year's total of the same cards. This is the result of a tremendous outpouring, the cooperation and the devoted efforts by the leaders and the workers. One Illustration Is worth a thousand words. The graph below best illustrates this years Women's Division achievements to date as we go to press.

By Dvora Waysman Like so many Jewish festivals, Shavuot (which is the Hebrew word for "weeks" from the root word for "seven") has both religious and seasonal significance. It is celebrated on 6th Slvan, seven weeks after the second day of Passover, and it marks the beginning of the Israeli spring harvest (hence It is also called Chag Hablkurim, Festival of the First Fruits), and the time of the giving of the Law. These two themes are eternally woven together In this festival. In ancient times, pilgrims traveled from all over the country to bring offerings of the first fruits and to witness the ceremonies of the festival at the Temple in Jerusalem. Processions were accompanied by the music of harp and flute and the singing of psalms and hymns. The significance of Shavuot as the time of the giving of the Law is one of the dominant motives in the festival. Based on a number of passages in the Bible dealing with Israel's journeyings through the wilderness and arrival at Sinai, It was proven that the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai must have taken place on 6th Sivan, the very "me when the agricultural festival Is celebrated. Many customs have become interwoven with Shavuot. It is traditional that only dairy foods and honey are eaten on these days, linked lo the passage: ". . honey and milk shall be under your tongue" (Song of Songs 4 : i n , implying that the words of the Torah are as pleasant and acceptable to our ears and hearts as are milk and honey to our tongues. Homes and synagogues are decorated with flowers and green branches as a reminder that on Shavuot the world is judged through the fruit of the trees, a judgment demonstrated by the richness or mcagerness of the harvest. Many pious people spend the entire night on the eve of Shavuot studying passages from the Bible, Mlshnah, Talmud and Zohar. The Book of Ruth Is read in the synagogue because the events of the book occur at the time of Israel's grain harvest. It tells of how Ruth the Moabite clung to the Jewish people and its faith, and records the birth of David, descended from Ruth. There is also the tradition mentioned in the Talmud that King David was born and died on Shavuot. A special song, composed a thousand years ago, is still sung in synagogues at Shavuot. "Akdamut Milin" (before the words I — is a hymn to G-d's glory, His Torah and the righteous who study it. It Is appropriate for the festival as It exults In the blessing bestowed on the Children of Israel when they were selected to receive the Torah. In Israel, the agricultural significance of Shavuot is most meaningful in the agricultural settlements, be they kibbutzim, moshavim or private farms, where people feel the special Joy of harvesting crops they planted themselves. In kibbutzim, each agricultural branch presents the fruits of its labor as a long procession of suitably decorated tractors approaches the stage; here the produce Is accepted and men, women and children connected with vineyard or cowshed,
Israeli girl presenting the first fruits lo a Shavuot celebration. orange-grove or poultry, tell of their work and plans. As they bring In the first fruits, they express In readings, song and dance, the story of the harvester. Pageants might be performed showing the arrival of pilgrims at the gates of Old Jerusalem, where they are met by the elders who greet them and lead them to the (Imaginary) Temple. The actors give their baskets of first fruits to "the priest" who places them around "the altar". Today the songs and music arc composed in the spirit of the new Israel, and the dances have the rhythm of modern times. So we sec how the new customs that Israelis introduced to Shavuot have brought the wheel full circle. Again we are celebrating It as an agricultural festival, but with the realization that the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai marked Israel's entry Into national maturity. By accepting the Law of justice and Its commandments and proclaiming G-d's unity, Israel has been promised eternal existence.

Other messages were delivered by spokesmen for Sen. Edward Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat seeking the Democratic nomination and Ronald Reagan, the leading Republican candidate. Rep. John Anderson, of Illinois, the Independent candidate for president, said he had come to "protest the continuing Imprisonment of prisoners of conscience, to deplore a 35 percent reduction hi the numbers of exit visas granted in recent months by Soviet authorities, to condemn the exile of Andrei Sakharov by Soviet authorities, and to protest officially sanctioned Russian anti-Semitism."
