"The international community, moreover, is exerting evcrmounting pressure on Israel to make political concessions that eventually could force the country to fight again for Us life.

"When you make a loan to Israel, you make a loan to life! We Jews are a family, and we have obligations to one another. At this point in 1980 our obligation is to lend Israel what it needs to the maximum extent of our ability to do so. Israel can count only on family. That means us." Mr. Goldberg, in his capacity as chairman of the Greater Omaha Israel Bond campaign, announced that Milton R. Abrahams, attorney and civic leader, will be the guest of honor at the Omaha Israel Dinner of State sponsored by the Israel Bond organization Nov. 23. The dinner will be held at Peony Park Ballroom.

The success of his talk, according to Rabbi Sculwels, will be In Its consequences. "We are faced with the opportunities to meet the revolutions ol the 80s; we have new expectations and needs and are asking new questions.'' There are two "agendas," Rabbi Shulweis said: the public and the private. The public agenda is traditional and is heard at conventions, heard from pulpits. It deals with such problems as anti-Semitism, Soviet Jews, Jewish education. It is In the area of the "private agenda," the area not addressed by organized Judaism that Jews are expressing deep feelings of concern, Rabbi Shulweis said. These concerns are those of the individual wrestling with personal and family problems. "Jews are

no longer apart from the problems ol-the general community — divorce, runaways, alcoholism." Rabbi ShuWiets noted that Jews are experiencing a disenchantment with self, children. "There is a fear of a lack of grandeur, of stability in our Jewishness," he said. "Jews no longer want to know what I can do for Judaism. . ..what I can do as mitzvot. . . what I can do for the synagogue . . . They want to know what Judaism, what mitzvot, what the synagogue can do for me personally in ray aloneaess." Because they are not getting what they need from Judaism, Jews are going to cults and self-realization groups, not to synagogues. Even after leaving the cults, Rabbi Shulweis pointed out, they still speak of the idealism, the warmth, the spirituality of the group. "Jewsneed Jews to be Jewish. They need personalization, humanization," the rabbi said. To fill these needs Rabbi (Continued on Page 2)

ADL Director Emphasizes Need for Vigilance

Rabbi Shulweis expounds on a point at the Jewish Family Learning College

Rabbi Suggests Starting Chavurot (Continued from Cage! Shulweis suggests the- development of the C'havura concept, a concept that has had outstanding success in his congregation

Rabbi Shulweis described the C'havura as "10 families developed into a friendship circle for the purpose of exploring, celebrating, experiencing. Jewish life at all kinds a! levels." Having Jewish experiences, learning about the Jewish life cycle events, celebrating the festivals outside the synagogue will bring Jews to a greater appreciation of the sanctuary, he said The members of the group explore

areas of Jewish interest, studying a subject and passing '.heir learning on to the group. In addition, Itabbi Shulweis suggested the formation and training of a para-rabbinic group of lay people who service the community's needs in life cycle events. This provides an alternative to "checkbook Judaism", Kabbi Shulweis said. ."We have no outlet for Jewish altruism except the checkbook." Jews need to become more concerned with their Jewishness, develop friendships and responsibilities "You will never learn until you are forced to teach," Rabbi Shulweis said.

By Barry Morrison Director, ADL Plains States Region I would like to share some of my comments made before the Omaha B'nai B'rith Breadbreakers the other day. Normally when one Is addressed by an ADL speaker he or she anticipates hearing about atrocious and violent acts of disgruntled individuals and insidious groups on the extremes of the political spectrum. For the most part, and certainly to our satisfaction, there Is really a limited amount of this activity In our own Midwest states. This is not to say, however, that these individuals and groups do not flourish elsewhere and that acts, violent and discriminator}', offensive and malevolent, do not routinely affect Jews elsewhere. Witness, Europe. A plot was recently uncovered in which a group called Federation for European National Action planned to kill 67 Jews in Nice, France, and to engage in terrorists attacks against Jewish communal Institutions: a July terrorist attack resulted in the death of one Jewish boy and

the Injury of 20 other Jews in Antwerp; a July descratlon of a Geneva cemetery revealed scrawl ings such as "death to the Jews," "your dead shall never rest in peace," "Hitler's lesson has never been forgotten"; the recent execution of a third prominent Jew in Iran on charges of spying for Israel was shortly followed, on the same charges, by the expulsion of the singular Jewish deputy from the Iranian Parliament. Dangers to Jews in this country are certainly not as imminently grave nor obvious as those described above. All the more reason, however, to be evermore vigilant for the more sublime and covert forms of anti-Semitism. The national landscape certainly has been eclipsed by the neo-Nazis and the Klan now seeking a new legitimacy and respectability. Harold Covington, of the American Nazi Party, received 43 percent of the Republican vote in the primary for the North Carolina attorney general. Tom Metzger, State Ku Klux Klan Chair man in California, won the Democratic primary in the

Forty-third congressional District, the most populous district in the country. Gerald Carlson, former Klan, American Nazi Parly and John Birch Society member, was elected as Republican candidate for the Fifteenth Congressional District. David Duke, formerly of the KKK and now of the National Association for the Advancement of White People, Is actively seeking the Louisiana Senate seat. We also need to be vigilant about the "New right"-the anti-liberal and ultra conservative religious fundamentalism gaining entry into government and other levels of American life. Representing a platform of anti-abortion, anti-homosexuality; andERA; ant(-"secular humanism" (pro-school prayer) and a n t i - p o r n o g r a p h y , the movement bodes evil for those who respect and admire diversity and the precious separation of church and state. Chapters ot some ol the nation organizations have been active In the Plains States area. Witness the Nebraska Chapter of Moral Majority and Iowans for Moral Government. No minor political force: thousands attended the National Affairs briefing In Dallas, Texas, where RonaJd Reagan spoke. These groups not only would have religion brought back Into the schools, but also seek to discredit prominent liberal Democrats Eagclton, Church, Culver and others. The nature of governmental figures' private religious beliefs has been quest i o n e d d i r e c t l y , or by Implication. Conservative thinking represents a danger to all people when It means that the values and beliefs of one group should speak for all without consideration ot others' Interests and perspectives. Of a more Immediate nature, we see a growing attempt to introduce prayer into the schools in the Plains States area. We hope to bring you more news on this subject In an upcoming issue.

Human Rights Activist Addresses Omaha Group : ByYoLandaLemer Every day Americans scan the newspapers. Each person has a section to which he invariably turns, be it the sports page, the bridge column, the comic strips, etc. Jacobo Timerman, former Argentine Journalist, expressed the need for the addition and importance of an added section to American newspapersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the human rights column. This column, more than the mere relating of "the facts", would be rather the stories behind those Incidents, their significance and importance in this democratic society, Mr. Timerman explained. The press should have much more freedom In the expression of human rights, he said, and should let the public know on a daily basis what is being done or not done to assure freedom for all mankind.

"The press Is really the most important instrument In democracy and is the only way to assure human rights," said Jacobo Timerman at a breakfast at the Holiday Inn last week. Addressing an audience of 650 people, Timerman spoke of the necessity that the press remain strong In Its convictions on human rights. "The main purpose of human rights is to save lives," said Mr. Timerman. Being heavily involved in the fight for human rights for many years, Mr. Timerman spent 30 months as a political prisoner In Argentina. Alter discussions with the Argentine government, the columnist for La Opinion, a Latin American independent daily, was finally convinced that there was only one way to achieve his goals of human

Upcoming Classes A class in Calligraphy, the art of artistic Hebrew and English lettering, will be({ln Oct. 20 at 7:30 p.m. with Harris Goldstein, a professional calltgrapher, as instructor. Present day Kctubahs and other ceremonial certificates are hand lettered and designed by calllgraphers as seen In Mr. Goldstein's recent exhibit at the Jewish Community Center Gallery. The two hour class will meet on Monday nights, 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., from Oct. 20 to Dec. 15. A minimum of six students Is needed for the class lo continue. The class in Calligraphy, the seminar by Dr. Oliver Pollak on "Disraeli, A Man of Mystery", and Hebrew classes will fill the schedule offered by the College for Jewish Learning on Monday night. Beginning Hebrew classes will be offered by Batya Brand on Monday at 7:30 p.m. The Hebrew Ulpan will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. A beginning Hebrew and a Beginning Yiddish class will also be offered on Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. and beginning Hebrew class Is available on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Conversational Hebrew (Intermediate) is offered on Tuesday at 7:30p.m. (at Beth El Synagogue). Daytime Yiddish classes are being taught by Dr. Lew Yager on Tuesdays at 10 a.m. at the JCC where all classes, unless otherwise designated, will be held. In addition to Mrs. Brand and Dr. Yager, teachers are Miriam Orcn, Walter Feidman and Marcia Tati. For senior citizens and other members of the community, a study of Parshat Shavua and Yiddish reading and discussion are being offered on Monday at U a.m. at Beth El synagogue.

rights and freedom. That way was to express his opinions by printing his outrage at the senseless killings which were occurring and to publish lists of missing children, parents and grandparents. This led to his eventual Imprisonment, Mr. Timerman said. Repression, as seen In Argentina, "is more or less the same attitude as the Nazi system who destroyed every civilized life In Germany," stated Mr. Timerman. The press Is very important In the fight against the terrorism of the state, against the attack of terrorists, Mr. Timerman said. He added that public opinion Is very important to government leaders and that they always seek approval. When the press expresses Us editorial position, it can only help the public In forming their opinions and then, in turn, prevent repression In general. When asked about the Jews residing In Argentina, Mr. Timerman replied by stating that "There are no Jews in cither political life or in academic life. This would be dangerous." Argentines are living in a Catholic society where the government stresses the need for Its (Catholicism) dominance. As an example of the importance of Catholicism, all television stations in Argentina have a Catholic priest on staff who determines programming for the public, he explained. No, the Jews won't** find themselves living or being killed in concentration camps, but their freedom to come and go has been denied, said Mr. Timerman. has been denied, said Mr. Timerman. Being truly dedicated to the ideas of and beliefs in the future of love andhumanlty, Mr. Timerman said he was able to endure the physical tortures he suffered as a political prisoner in Argentina.

f Letters to The Editorj To the Editor: Rlnl and I would like to thank the Jewish Family Service Board for sponsoring a reception introducing both of us to the community at large. We have felt the warmth and sincerity exhibited by all of you since we arrived in our new home, We hope that the positive feelings and relationships we have developed thus far will continue to grow. Thank you again. Rabbi Allan M. Gonsher To the Editor: We are unhappy to hear that Phil and Marcia Cofman will be leaving our community. Phil has been an experienced and dedicated professional who has been innovative in his programming for the Center. The many hours he has spent in meetings, often at night, that have taken him away from his family, will go unnoticed except by those who have been aware of his many responsibilities. We know that our community will sorely feel this loss. We wish Phil, Marcia and their family good luck and success in their future endeavors. Tbelma Lustgarten Gloria Wagner

CAN YOU HEAR ME UP THERE?!

by Carl Alpert

BokerTov, Israel! HAIFA — Israel television and radio, operated by an Independent Broadcasting Authority, have been under considerable criticism. In their news reporting they seem to emphasize the seamy side of life, and spotlight all the faults and flaws they can uncover on the local scene. Some of their muck-raking is firstclass Journalism, and publicity they have shed on scandalous situations has undoubtedly been responsible for important Improvements. But there can also be too much of a good thing. Evening news broadcasts are sometimes a lugubrious recital of everything wrong, with only an occasional positive feature. In their defense, the broadcasting people maintain that this Is what makes news. A little old grandma sitting In a rocking chair might make a pleasant picture, but it's not news, compared to, say, the sex-crazed father who rapes hLs own daughters. There have also been charges that those who write and edit the broadcasts permit their personal political bias to influence the programs, many of which appear intended to make the Begin Government look as bad as possible. It almost seems as if there Is a deliberate cabal to build up a popular mood of dissatisfaction — coincldentally, Just as the country prepares for next year's elections. The defense to this is "freedom of communication"; there must be no censorship or tampering with the absolute freedom of the "professionals" to present things the way they see it. Any shifting of personnel in the broadcasting services Is condemned as Government "Interference". At this stage someone had a bright idea: Let the prophets of gloom and destruction continue with the programs which they treat as if their private property, but perhaps there Is room on the air for at least one bright, optimistic feature — a program which can greet the citizens daily with "Boker Tov, Israel," Good Morning; Israel—and a good morning it is.

The Ministry of Education, which has sponsored the idea, Is confident that there will be ample interesting and even newsworthy material In every area of the audio and visual media. The variety show which Is contemplated will stress the happy, encouraging and positive side of life in education, culture, the arts, defense, tradition, spirit of voluntarism, pioneering, settlement on the land, national service, work ethics, honesty, quality of life, etc. Song and dance and camera and drama can combine to make the program appealing and heart-lifting. It will lift the spirits and make people appreciate the better side of life in Israel. It will arrest what the Chief of Staff charged was a deterioration In confidence, morals and morale among the youth of Israel caused by the kind of fare offered now by radio and television. A great idea? Not according to the leftists and the parties In opposition to Begin and the Likud. What's wrong with the proposed program? It will be run by the Government, that's what's wrong with HI It will therefore serve narrow Government propaganda purposes—narrow purposes like building public morale and Instilling patriotic feelings. Furthermore, even before they have seen the program, the critics charge that It will be saccharine In its efforts to present everything In rosy tints. Besides, it will cost a lot of money I The educators are In favor, the army Is In favor, Intelligent parents are in favor, the Government is all for it. Opposed are the professionals who exercise tight control over broadcasting, and the opposition parties which expect to come back into power if they can convince the public how terrible conditions are in Israel. Boker Tov, Israel! With all Its problems, life Is beautiful here. Give sunshine a chance.

Above is a handout distributed at the recent Paris Demonstration. Below Is a translation. RACISM KILLS! DOWN WITH RACISM! Racism kills: immigrants are victims o( nervous fascists, Jews are wounded by bombs, assaslnated in their cultural Institutions, passers-by who find themselves in the way of assaslns. Racism poisons the entire society. Thirty-five years ago, there was nazlsm; today again In South Africa there is apartheid; genocide, systematic racial discrimination, this could happen! In order to prevent It, It Is necessary to unite, to act with vigor and determination In every case of racism. Wherever It happens, and who so ever should be the perpetrators or victims. It Is for this reason the MRAP exists against Racism and all Its forms with MRAP. The handout and the lapel sticker were provided for the Jewish Press by Judi Rosenblatt who was in Paris at the time of the demonstrations. Translation is by Rabbi Barry Weinsteln.

Hadassah Leader Warns Of Anti-Semitism Growth LOS ANGELES, (JTA) Bernice Tannenbaum, president ol Hadassah, told some 3000 delegates attending Hadassah's ahnual convention here that "anti-Semitism is on the increase, disguised as anti-Zionism and anti-Israellsm, in the various international political fronts operating as bodies of the United Nations, such as the General Assembly, UNESCO and even the Security Council, where attempts are being made to turn Israel into a non-nation by questioning its national legitimacy." Tannenbaum noted that just before the convention here began "we watched with dismay at the United States abstention in the Security Council. It is difficult to reconcile Secretary of State Muskle's strong criticism''of the Security Council's latest censure of Israel with the subsequent abstention, when logically his words should have been reinforced by a U.S. veto." Continuing, she said, "Not only does the abstention diminish the meaning of the Secretary's own message, in which he calls the resolution 'fundamentally flawed... unbalanced and unrealistic' and damaging to prospects lor peace in the Middle East, but it undermines the U.S. role in promoting the Camp David agreements." As for Jerusalem, "it is de facto the capital of Israel, and as a united city It has — under Israeli administration — not only been preserved and restored, but it has been open to people of ail faiths," Tannenba'un^declared. "No Arab country, and most of those member states in the UN who routinely vote against Israel, have a record of due process and of protecting civil rights and civil liberties that qualifies them to teach Israel about pluralism and the rights of minorities.

Bama • Bllsh • Roece • Crane FREE HOME OR OFFICE CONSULTATIONS

This resolution makes a mockery of the Camp David accords and seriously under-, mines Israel's status in Jerusalem by calling on all countries to withdraw their embassies from Jerusalem." Tannenbaum expressed the hope that President Carter, "will change his position and honor the platform adopted by the overwhelming majority of his own party — which recognizes and supports the established status of Jerusalem as a united city and the capital of Israel." Dealing with Hadassah, she announced that Hadassah's 370,000 members raised a record $33 million this year, $1.8 million more than last year. "While this is a stunning accomplishment for our members — there are no profess l o n a l f u n d r a i s e r s in Hadassah — this Increase in collections does not keep up with inflation, here or in Israel," she said. At the opening of the convention, Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley proclaimed August as Henrietta Szold Month in honor of the founder of Hadassah. The proclamation was accepted by the convention's co-chairperson Edith Zamost of Highland Park, N.J., Los . Angeles co-chairperson Enid Young, and Beatrice Feldman of New York, national Henrietta Szold Anniversary Celebration Committee chairperson.

Priest to Address ADL Group | Deaths | Sydney Ostcn, Anti-Defamation League 1980 fundralslng chairman, announces that Rev. John Stanley Grauel will address a group on behalf of the Anti-Defamation League at the Highland Country Club on Oct. 29,7 p.m. On Thursday night, July 17, 1947, Reverend Grauel, long blond hair (ailing nearly to his shoulders, tiny gold cross on a chain around his neck, stood in the small cramped room aboard the n e w l y rechristened ship, the Exodus, and delivered the following message to the United Nations: "Gentlemen, at this time we make Intercessions, to you at assemblies in Eretz Israel. We request, in truth we demand, that you hear together testimony from the four thousand five hundred Jews who are coming to Palestine In a lew hours aboard the Haganah Exodus 1947. We remind you that no commission was called together to witness the death of six million Jews in Europe. This Is your opportunity to fulfill the requirements of your declared justice in these matters.. ." John Graucl's link to Zionism and Haganah had come about by a chain of circumstances which could not have been foreseen in his early life. He was born In Worcester, Mass, and as a child, grew up near the Kennedy boys at Hyannisport and, like them, was fascinated with sailing and the water. His , family was Methodist. He aspired to the ministry ami became pastor of a sea parish on the coast of Maine. The war and its first reports of Nazi persecutions led him to resign and join the American Christian Palestine Committee, an organization dedicated

John Stanley Grauel to the establishment of the State of Israel. He became intimate with the Jewish community and learned about the Haganah. Fascinated, he joined and volunteered to ride on the President Warfleld, soon to be called the Exodus, as a galley boy. He soon appeared in the underground in Europe, a mysterious figure, known to his co-workers as "John the Priest." He served for seven months as a leader of the Ill-fated vessel and his most celebrated exploit remains his participation in the "Battle of the Exodus." The Exodus affair and the evidence presented concerning it became a focal point for the United Nations recommending partition of Palestine and the eventual establishment of Uie State of Israel. For over three decades Reverend Grauel has continued his efforts on behalf of the ZBNA'ST

State of Israel and yet has not been idle In other fields. He still preaches and functions as a churchman, devoting that effort almost exclusively to the black community. He has deep concern for the "Generation Gap" and working in youth fields, has not only taken young people Into his home, but has served on Drug and Racial Tension Committees. Beside being a lecturer before Jewish audiences, he is a speaker for youth and much in demand on college campuses. Reverend Grauel has been the recipient of many awards; Fighter for Israel Medal, with two combat ribbons; Humanity Medal, shared with Pope Paul; Victory Medal and Medal of Jerusalem as a founder of the State; B'nal B'rlth Humanitarian Award, and honors from Hadassah, National Council of Jewjsh Women and others. For additional Information call the ADL office. 333-1303.

At the New Year the fall festival starts and after three days is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. You can count the number of Jews In Iceland on your fingers and those that are religious came together and read the text because there Is no rabbi in Iceland. The Jewish mass is the only social mass known and there is no need for a rabbi to celebrate It. The rabbi is not so much n priest as he is a teacher and If 10 or more Jews come together, they can have a fulfilled mass. Thordarson said the Jews In Iceland have not been having mass at New Years because there are too few, but with the participation of the American Jews at Kcflavik International Airport, were able to have a mass this year. A rabbi has also visited on a yearly basis.

It May Be A Mitzvah to Vote Now that the Presidential election campaign Is In full swing, American Jews are finding they are among the most Intensely courted of the electorate. Jewish leaders, actual and self-anointed, are trotted out to tell us that President Carter, former Gov. Ronald Reagan or Rep. John Anderson is not only good for the Jews but for all Americans. But feelings, especially about Carter and Reagan, are so strong that there is good reason to believe that those people who are going to vote have already made up their minds. But what about voters who plan to sit this election out? This has been the year of the "volatile voter," a name the experts have coined to explain

the fact that they don't know what the voters are going to do. It has also been theyear of "none of the above" in which many voters have expressed their dlstate for all of the candidates. Will this mean an even lower voter turnout than hi 1976, when only 52 percent of those eligible cast ballots? Jews tend to go to the polls In greater numbers than other ethnic groups. This accounts for the importance of Jewish voters especially In New York and other large states. It Is . one of the chief reasons, if not the reason, why candidates pay attention to the Issues that concern Jews. In 1972, given a choice of President Nixon and Sen. George McGovern (D.SD), some Jews didn't vote. An argument has been made that this, too, is a vote: It shows that we reject the type of can-

didates the system offers. But this Is a copout. After all, someone has to be President. All Americans should take part In selecting him, or perhaps someday, her, even if It comes down to deciding on the best of the bad lot, or the one who is least bad. For how else can Jews, as Individuals and as a group, have any Influence on the federal government? Why should anybody listen to them If they don't take part In the selection process? What right have they to gripe II they sit on their hands Nov.'4? Of course, there are other reasons to vote besides the Presidential election. There are important races for the U.S. Senate and the House where some of Israel's most ardent supporters are facing tough battles. There may be local contests and' It should be remembered that In those states where the State Legislatures are being elected the new legislatures will be reapportlonlng Congressional districts In the wake of the justcompleted 1980 census. If these appeals to civic virtue and reason aren't enough, let me repeat a suggestion offered by a Washington Journalist on television recently: Surely ypu must know someone whose vote you would like to negate.
