Millions of Jews To Seek New Home By Margo Rlckes "Almost one-third of the Jewish people in the world arc preparing to become refugees in the next 10 years. "They are preparing to leave and as they are preparing to move they arc not thinking of Israel as their first choice." This statement was made by the guest speaker at the annual Israel Bond Dinner last Sunday at Peony Park. Yitzhah I. Rager, president elect of the Israel Bond Organization, was Introduced and welcomed by Morton Richards, toastmastcr for the event honoring Milton R. Abrahams. Israel, said Mr. Rager, has not managed to become (he magnet — the place to which they choose to go. There are, he said, only two communities In the world that can deal with (his crisis - the United States and Israel. Israel, stated Mr. Rager, is "ready to perform what they have set out to perform. Israel Is an outpost for Jewish people. Let us together help those that will be homeless In the next 10 years." Unfortunately Israel doesn't have the money to do it, confided Mr. Rager . . . "It Is my

He said that if we didn't have bonds, "we would have Invented them now." Israel needs the money that Is ino~vested In bonds to develop new roads, oil supplies, and new settlements. Mr. Rager opened his address by sending his thanks to everyone from Israel and by asking the dinner guests to sit back and have "nachus" In Israel's unprecedented achievement. He said "we should be happy and very proud" to
Seminar Hosts David Gitlitz The subject of "Jews, Crypto-Jews and the Spanish Inquisition" will be discussed by Dr. David Gitlitz In a 7:30 to 9 p.m. seminar on Monday, Dec. 1 at the Jewish Community Center. The seminar Is being presented by the College for Jewish Family Learning of the Jewish Cultural Arts Council and Is open to all members of the community at no charge. High school students particularly were urged to attend. Dr. Gitlitz, associate professor and chairman of Modern Languages and Literatures at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, has been a student of Spanish history and life In Spain for a number of years. He studied at the University of Madrid for a year after receiving his B. A. degree at Oberlin College. He received his master's and Ph.D. from Harvard University, taught at Indiana University, PontlfIda Unlversldad Catollca del Peru, and served as the director of the Indiana University programs in Peru, Madrid and Santiago. He is presently associate editor of Twentieth Century Studies, on the editorial board for Studies in Twentieth Century Literature and president of the Nebraska Foreign Language Associate. In 1979, Dr. Gitlitz led the UNL summer pilgrimage through 12th century Spain along a medieval pilgrimage route, and in late December he will leave Lincoln (or a six month sabbatical in Spain.

have helped Israel achieve what it has in the past 13 years . . . "Israel," he noted, "had to be built with 'remnants' of the Holocaust and with the ever-present threat of Arabs trying to drive us out." Mr. Rager pointed out some interesting facts about what Israel has to face. First he said that the country has to continuously spend one-third of its national budget for defense compared with the U.S. which only spends about seven (Continued on Page 3)
By Phase III PR Committee Jewish Federation of Omaha The dream of an apartment building (or the elderly came closer to realization on Monday, Nov. 17 when the board of the Jewish Federation voted unanimously to relocate the site from the pre-school area of the Jewish Community Center to the site of the rear parking lot. This relocation was at the request of the H.U.D. 202 Housing Project office and was needed to meet the Nov. 21 filing date required by H.U.D. A report from H.U.D. should be received following 30 days heeded by that office for review of the preliminary design and site. Upon approval of the site it Is expected that a conditional loan for $1,713,000 will be received from H.U.D. for a three story, 52 unit complex for housing for the elderly. Six of the units will have two bedrooms, 46 will have one bedroom. The anticipated grant also includes Annual Section 8 contributions of $234,120 (or rent

It Is planned that ground breaking will take place in the spring of 1981 and the building will be completed in the fall of 1981 and ready for occupancy. The action of the board was in response to a presentation by Harlan Noddle, co-chairman of the Phase III study for
an apartment for senior citizens over age 62, and the handicapped and a new Home for the Jewish elderly. The board, in previous action December, 1979, following a report of the Phase II Study Committee, had accepted the concept of both building projects and instructed the Phase ' (Continued on Page 2)

Supreme Court Mute On Religious Holidays NEW YORK (JTA) - The American Jewish Congress has expressed "Regret" over a U.S. Supreme Court ruling letting stand a lower court ruling upholding guidelines (or the observance of Christmas and other religious holidays in the public schools of Sioux Falls, S.D. The organization said at the same time that it was considering starting another federal lawsuit challenging sectarian practices in a public school district in the New York City metropolitan area. Officials declined to identify the school district or the sectarian practices. The AJCongress and the American Civil Liberties Union had filed a friend-ofthecourt brief in the Florey vs. Sioux Falls School District case after a federal district court ruled that the observance of religious holiday's in the schools was permissible. The Eighth Circuit court of Appeals upheld that ruling and the Supreme Court declined to review it, thus letting it stand. Nathan Dershowitz, director of the AJCongress commission on law and social action, said that "while a denial of certiorari" in the case "is
Women's Cabinet A working coffee for the Executive Committee and Board of Directors of the Jewish Federation's Women's Cabinet will be held Tuesday, Dec. 2, at 10 a.m. at the home of Mary Fellman, chairman of the Women's Cabinet. Plans for the 1981 Women's Campaign will be discussed. In addition, Cabinet officers for the coming year will be elected. "'"
not a Judgment on the merits — and thus it cannot be said that the Supreme Court has approved the rules adopted by the Sioux Falls School District — the Court's failure to review them will undoubtedly encourage other school districts to adopt them or similar rules." Dcrshowilz added that the Supreme Court's action "may simply reflect a desire to await a case with a better record" and thai "we and others interested In separation of church and state will attempt to present the Court with cases demonstrating the Inevitably sectarian character of school holiday observances so that it can decide whether public schools can constitutionally observe religious holidays." He added "we arc looking closely at the practices of a school district In the New York metropolitan area that may soon be challenged in the federal district court." The guidelines adopted by Sioux Falls were first challenged in 1978 by a group of students, parents and taxpayers. The AJCongress and the ACLU argue that those guidelines are unconstitutional because they represent inherently religious action. The AJCongress said "the guidelines countenance the

Pope Meets Jews In Bonn, Germany BONN (JTA) - Pope John Paul II conferred with representatives of the Central Organization of German Jews in Mainz, the ancient Rhineland city where Jews have lived continuously for more than 900 years. He spoke in praise of German Jews who contributed to German culture and of the declarations of Catholic bodies In West Germany In recent years calling for a broader base of understanding with the Jewish community. He criticized, by implication, the dormant role of the Church in Germany during the era of Nazi persecution. The Pontiff refrained from mentioning Israel in the course of his dialogue with 30 prominent West German Jews representing a total Jewish population of 40,000 in the Federal Republic.
According to participants In the meeting, his comments made no reference to the Arab-Israeli conflict and all of his references were to the "Holy Land." He expressed hope that Jerusalem will enjoy peace and prosperity and that all parties Involved would cooperate toward those goals. However, the Pope said recently that any Middle East solution that did not recognize Palestinian rights and the religious uniqueness of Jerusalem would be only a partial solution and he rejected It. Much of the dialogue was devoted to the persecution of Jews by the Third Reich. Werner Nachmann, chairman of the Central Council of Jews In Germany told the Pontiff that "the land of Israel has become a symbol of our survival after the Holocaust".

This same build-design team has successfully completed a number of H.U.D. 202 housing projects in the past and according to Mr. Noddle and his co-chairman Is Tretlak "has a track record of which they can be proud". Members of the Phase III Housing Committee headed by Nancy Greenberg and other members of the Phase HI Study Committee visited the housing for the elderly apartment complex built by the Scldin team in Wahoo, Nebraska. This group will continue to look at other apartments for the elderly before final plans arc made by the architect and the design-build team.

Rager: Israel Spends One-third for Defense (Continued from Page 1) percent of its budget for defense. Also, he noted.that on Israel's eastern front alone there are more tanks than N.A.T.O. has In all of western Europe. Israel has also given away all of its oil fields in the Sinai in the name of peace and now they have to pay a tremendous amount for oil. Inflation is rampant in Israel. "It's grown to be a very big animal. It's public enemy number one" but Mr. Ragcr said that "we're going to lick the enemy'' and that's good news I Some other good news he shared was that nine and hall billion dollars worth of goods have been exported from Israel this year. This, Mr. Rager said, Is a 38% increase in exports In the first 10 months of this year, and indicates an economic growth of five percent. Also, "Israel has never defaulted on even one payment" of bonds. Mr. Ragcr Indicated good news on the energy scene loo. He said that Israel was drilling for oil and that "they will find oil.',' but that they arc also working hard on solar energy because the price of solar energy Is now even cheaper than nuclear energy. There Is also good news about Israel's defense. "Israel," says Rager, "has an army better than France." It's better equipped, larger and more efficient. Israel has also made it clear to terrorists
In this world "that history will not be repeated." "Anyone who touches an Israeli citizen or an Israeli embassy will have to pay with his life." Israel, he reminded, Is this country's best ally.
"Logic?" WASHINGTON - Reacting strongly to an administration decision to allow the sale of natural gas pipeline equipment to Russia, Senator Rudy Boschwltz said "this act demonstrates an utter lack of logic and consistency and the double standard of the trade embargo against the Soviets." Boschwitz has long supported an embargo of technology sales to the Russians, but opposed the halting of grain sales. "The administration has violated the spirit of the embargo," Boschwitz said, "by refusing to sell grain on the one hand and approving the sale of essential industrial equipment on the other hand."

A Stupid Remark Former Israel Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan has been quoted in the press with a disturbing reference to the makeup of the American army.

Someone, somewhere, should give this museum generous much-needed support. We took the Athens subway from Omonla to Piraeus and from Monastlraki to Kifissla, and wondered when Tel Aviv would solve Its transit problems with an underground. We climbed to the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, presented our problems to the Oracle, and got the same reply we received when we tucked our little note Into the cracks of the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Against the advice of the natives we climbed the 980 steps leading up to the fort of Palamidi in Nauplla, and found it far less fatiguing than our climb up Jcbcl Musa in the Sinai.

threat to American strategic interests, and particularly to the, flow of oil to the West. Therefore; the time has come for the U.S. lo re-examine its position in the Persian Gulf and to formulate a new strategy that can deal effectively with similar future events. U.S. Middle Kast strategy has been based on two premises: 1) Soviet containment and 2) insuring political stability throughout the region, which pre-supposes a resolution to the Palestinian problem. U.S. strategists theorized that if the U.S. could Inhibit Soviet expansionism on one hand and resolve the Palestinian problem on the other, the Middle East would enjoy relative political stability and the flow of oil — the life-blood of Western Europe and Japan — would continue uninterrupted. However, the rise of OPEC, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and the ensuing Iranian-Iraqi war all came to negate the U.S.' strategic myth. Currently, the U.S. does not have a strategy that can deal effectively with events that may develop Independently of the Palestinian question or result from Soviet aggression. To answer the Iranian revolution, which led to the seizure of the American embassy and the capture of the 52 hostages, and to counter the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Carter administration embarked on the development of a Rapid Deployment Force (RDF) that can be dispatched from U.S. bases to the troubled area. By all military and strategic accounts, the RDF's manpower Is neither large enough to deter, let alone repel, a massive Soviet invasion, nor is it designed to prevent an intraregional conflict with the potential to disrupt oil shipments to the West. Moreover, neither the hostilities between the Gulf states nor the exhorbltant OPEC prices increases, which have played economic havoc with the West, has any relation to the Palestinian Issue. Territorial claims and counter-claims precipitated the Iranian-Iraqi war, .while market conditions of supply and de-
mand determine OPEC oil prices. Kather than formulating a strategy that can deal effectively with these conditions, the Carter administration has allowed Its preoccupation with the ArabIsraeli conflict to largely determine its Middle East policy. Excluding Western Europe, no other area Is of greater importance to the U.S. than the Persian Gulf. For this reason, a reevaluation of our entire Middle East strategy and a search for an alternate strategy to secure our vital Interests are national Imperatives. Notwithstanding the presence of the American fleet in the Arabian Sea and our increased military forces stationed at the nearby Islands Diego Garcia, which many experts consider to be of limited value, the U.S. would be unable to repel a massive Soviet conventional Invasion, without relying on nuclear weapons. Since nuclear weapons cannot prevent local disputes, only massive conventional American [and, air, and sea forces can 1) deter the Soviet Union from exploiting regional Instability and 2) prevent local disputes from escalating out of control. Both Egypt and Israel offer the best sites for the U.S. to establish land, air, and sea bases from which adequate forces can be dispatched to troubled areas within hours. Israel, and to a lesser degree Egypt, have already offered the U.S. either operating military Installations or the sites to extabllsh new ones. However, to date, the U.S. has refused the Israeli offer, fearing Arab wrath In the form of Increased OPEC oil prices or a cut in oil production, and has limited its use of Egyptian bases, fearing Arab retaliation against President Sadat. Eytan and Etzion air bases, soon to be evacuated by Israel In the Sinai, offer the U.S. an opportunity to use two of the most sophisticated Installations In the Middle East. It Is in the interest of all three parties to turn these air bases over to the U.S. rather than to destroy them in accordance with the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty,

The Changing Meaning of Hanukkah By Dvora Waysman Most Jews know a potted history of Hanukkah. Those with a modicum of Jewish consciousness can tell you that it Is an annual winter festival, occurlng on 25th Klslev, where candles are lit each night for eight days. This symbolizes a miracle which occurred In 165 B.C.E. when a cruse of oil was needed to purify the Temple, and it miraculously lasted for eight days Instead of one. Many Jews also know the story of the valiant Judah Maccabee, the Hasmonean, who led the revolt against the tyrant Antiochus IV and the Hellenistic culture which threatened to wipe out the whole Jewish tradition and heritage. But there is much more to Hanukkah even than this. For a long period it was solely a religious festival. "Hanukkah" literally means "renewal," A torchlight procession the first day of Hanukkah outside me and the historial Josephus day of Hanukkah falls this year on Dec. 3,25th Kislev 5744. tells of the rejoicing that attended the renewal of the did then — the victory of a marked by episodes in which, Temple service . . .

The Jews have been de- might also be accepted passiheroism of the Hasmoneans, but heroic acts that have since scribed as a "stiff-necked peo- vely.

ADL News
By Barry Morrison With the recent Supreme Court ruling in the Sioux Falls case allowing for the continuation of Christmas pageants in public schools and with the ascendancy of many conservative members in Congress, the prospect of encroachments of religion in the public school system looms ever more threateningly. A report issued at ADL'S National Executive Committee Meeting in late October, even before the above transpired, indicated that the constitutional guarantee of separation of church and state — the keystone of religous liberty in the United States — was being eroded by a series of court rulings and local governmentactions. "Voluntary" prayer legislation has been introduced in Florida, Ohio, Kentucky and Arizona, Christian doctrine is taught under the guise of Bible literature courses; courts are increasingly tolerant of public funds being used for parochial schools through direct aid and tuition tax credits for parents of parochial school students. The "Helms Amendment", which would limit the jurisdiction of federal courts in the review o( voluntary school cases, has passed in one chamber of the Congress and threatens passage in the other. With Strom Thurmond serving as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee such a prospect is even more likely. On the local scene, individual teachers in F'apillion and Millard school districts have attempted to introduce Bible study classes. Compelled by his religious conviction and zeal, a fundamentalist teacher has inquired of a parent during a parent-teacher conference whether their child had "accepted Christ", circulated a tract of his religious beliefs among his colleagues and made reference to his religious beliefs during class discussion. Miilard schools have been the locale of religious incursions. The high school yearbook alluded to the school's sponsorship of a sectarian program - the Fellowship of Christian Athletes: a gospel singing group appeared before a school assembly inquiring of students whether they attended church or believed in Jesus; a referendum was to have reintroduced the baccalaureate as part of the commencement exercises AH of these violations were corrected owing to our relations with the administration and clergy in the District Throughout the Hegion. parents are removing their children from public schools, enrolling them in private academies mot all of which are state licensed '. to allow them to engage in Bible study At V M K f" , the administration is appealing to the Supreme
Court to overrule a lower court decision that permits a religious club to use publicly funded campus facilities to promote religion. Other problems continue. Many teachers show lnsensltivlty and ignorance regarding questions of propriety of religion in the public schools. Some find the singing of Christmas carols with Christological reference benign; others speak ol the oversensltivily of Jews in these matters.
