The Department of Jewish Education has launched a course of Instruction for recently resettled Jews from the Soviet Union. Extending to Aug. 2, 1981, the course is being taught in area synagogues by Rabbi Jonathan Rosenbaum, director, and local rabbis. This course seeks to introduce Jewish life cycle ceremonies, holidays and occasions of the year, and communal life to Jews who have recently come to the Omaha area from the Soviet Union. In addition to disseminating fundamental Information, the course will also provide an opportunity for the participants to meet with the rabbis of the community as well as certain representatives of local Jewish communal agencies.

The understanding was, that if, at the end of 15 years, there remained a Jewish community In Danzig, these treasures would be returned. If not, the valuables would remain In this country "for the inspiration and education of the rest of the world." In August, 1939 the German army marched Into Danzig.

One hundred thirty-four gold, silver, bronze and brass ceremonial objects and textlles-Torah crowns, Torah shields, rlmmonlm, seder plates, menorahs, alms boxes, spice boxes, Ktddush cups, prayer books, Torah ark curtains and more — will be shown to the general public for the first time since leaving Danzig. In addition, photographs and documents tell the story of the early years when Jews were not allowed to reside In Danzig (present day Gdansk) and were required to secure
permits to trade in the city; the prosperous era of the 20's when Jews did live In Danzig, filling the highest professional roles as doctors, teachers, and leaders of the community; the rise of anti-Semitism and Nazi supremacy. Taped Interviews tell poignant tales of families separated, the sheltering of Jews by non-Jews, the heart rendering search for survival in Palestine which was denied . . . the desperate need for refuge. Mrs. Joy Ungerlelder at the Jewish Museum (1109 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10028) will assist groups for a special tour ol this outstanding event.

Letters to the Editor
Greener Pastures Not too long ago. the number of Jews iri Omaha hovered around 10.000. Today, the best estimate is in the range of 6,500 to 7,«>00. One of the reasons for the drop in Jewish population is that our young college graduates do not return home to earn a livelihood. They go to greener pastures, so to speak. It is now time for the Jewish community to not only think about the future, but to do something about the problems which influence the future. We have a wealth of talent in thiscommunity. There are experts in business, the professions, the trades, and in education. This talent should be put to use in helping youngsters select careers, in helping them with job opportunities and helping them launch and manage business enterprises. This activity could be organized into a small business investment club where capital could be channeled into potentially profitable ventures. With the participation of community experts, the success of such ventures could be strengthened. The greener pasture could very well be Omaha.

As a member of Die Jewish Community Center I wish to express my opinion and to state I have greatly enjoyed my membership and attribute this to the way in which the Center has been run. Phil Cofman has been good for our community in his position as Director. To quote Jay Lerner, a member of the Executive Committee, "Under Phil Cofman's direction a fledging facility has been transformed into a fiscally responsible huh for organized life within our Jewish community..:" There are many other pluses thitcould be mentioned and verified.

Serenco in September The Jewish Community Center's Cultural and Performing Arts Department presents its second Art Workshop for the 1900 season on Sunday, Sept. 21-23. Henry Serenco, ceramist at UNO will conduct this very exciting workshop at the JCC along with his one-man gallery show. It will include a slide show and gallery1 t a l k o n Sunday, the 21st from 2-3-.3G; a demonstration and hands-on lime for participants on Monday, the 22nd from 1:303:30 and 7:30-9:30; and hands-on time Tuesday, the 23rd from 710pm. Henry Serenco is Associate Professor of Art at UNO. A ceramist, Serenco's creations are a "reflection of his knowledge, dedication to his craft, concern for the consumer, artistic sensibility, and love for clay." Serenco received a BFA and an MFA from Alfred University's College of Ceramics in New York. He has shown In numerous National and Regional Shows. Some of his latest include: 3rdNational Cone Box Show, Lawrence, Kansas; 2nd Annual Paper and Clay Exhibition, Memphis, Tennessee; Sculptural Clay, A National Invitational Craftsman's Gallery, Omaha, Nebraska; 25th Kansas Designer Craftsman Exhibition, Lawrence, Kansas; 41st Annual Fall Show, Sioux City, Iowa; Southwest State University Ceramics Exhibition Upper Midwest Regional Marshall, Minnesota; 1979 Clay and Paper Show, Ames, Iowa; and etc. He has also had many one and two-man shows, the latest of which is on view in the JCC gallery from September 7-28. Mr. Serenco's works illustrate the fact he is more than "just a craftsman," he is also an artist. "I feel the pot should have a vitality of ,. Its own. While mass-produced pottery may or may not be of good quality, I believe it is generally little more than a utilitarian object. It lacks life, the immediacy, the personality of the handmade pot. I am hopeful that my work, while functional, will also be enriching for the person who looks at it, touches it and uses It. A good pot should add to the awareness of our existence, and I try to make mine do so in a positive way." For more information on Serenco's Workshop, please call Judi Rosenblatt at Uie JCC at 344-8200.
