Kallah Weekend Changes To Saturdy and Sunday For the past several years the Jewish Cultural Arts Council has presented an authority on some phase of Jewish 1 ife in a Kallah weekend hosted by three synagogues on a Friday and Saturday in December.

A Tribute in Memory of Frieda Suvalsky The death last week of Frieda Suvalsky has diminished both the Jewish communties of Omaha and Council Bluffs where she made her home for almost all of her 78 years. Her passing also brought a great sense of loss to her many non-Jewish friends, many of whom attended her funeral to show their respect and affection. And for good reason.

Budget Approved Paul Cohen presents the recommendations of the Budget and Planning committee on the 1981 department budgets to the Board of Directors of the Jewish Federation at the group's meetIng last month. From left are, Allan Greene, Budget and Planning director; Mr. Cohen, committee chairman; Joe Klnhenbaum, Federation president; and Louis B. Solomon, executive director of the Federation. See story on page 3.
Despite a full schedule of working with her husband, Saul, in their grocery store and eventually the furniture business, despite caring for her mother and raising two sons, Marvin and Selwin, Frieda found time to express her love for Judaism in a number of concrete ways. A lifelong member of Hadassah, she was an enthusiastic spokeswoman against anti-Semitism, and for the cause of Zionism. It was Frieda, who, upon her return from trips to Israel, Imbued fellow members of Altrusa, American Legion auxiliary and other civic 'Frieda Suvalsky groups with the showing of her hundreds of colorful slides of the Holy Land. It was Frieda who invited her non-Jewish friends to lectures and programs where they would learn about Judaism and Israel. It was Frieda who personally kept in touch with Iowa's representatives and senators in Washington, D.C. and In the Iowa state legislature on matters
concerning Jews and Israel. And it was she who not only saw to it that they received the Near East Report but who also served as a self-appointed salesperson to Jew and non-Jew for paid subscriptions for that important news media. It was Frieda, who, despite her own lack of a formal education, became a self-taught Bible teacher to Jewish youngsters of Council Bluffs. Today many vividly recall their first exposure and indoctrination to Zionism by an inspired Sunday School teacher. There were other diversified activities while she was well — Governor's Commission on the Status of Women, Salvation Army board, Tuberculpsis association, and the Council Bluffs playground commission. And always there was her Intense love for her family i including great grand-children) hersynagogues in Council Bluffs and OmafiaTtfie totaTculfural and educational" life in the duo-Jewish communities. As long as she could walk she literally ran to every Jewish activity, every Jewish learning experience. For her devotion and commitment to Israel and community she was twice honored by Israel Bonds and many times honored by friends and co-workers. At all times she fought with vigor and dignity for the causes In which she believed. She was a zealous woman of strength and quality, of Innate intelligence, of joyous spirit and character. As it was said at her funeral and many times before and since, she was an unusual and colorful woman of warmth and love for all that was crucial to her Jewish people. There are none to replace her. byMaryFellman

Major Gifts Leadership Group Visits Israel NEW YORK - Campaign pledges of $11,787,250 for 1931 were received from participants on the October United Jewish Appeal President's Mission to Israel, according to audited results reported here. This is a 37 percent Increase over 1980 pledges by the same contributors. Marshall Kushner, Alan Nogg, Sidney Osten and Ell Schupack represented the Jewish Federation of Omaha in this Mission. An additional $2,536,950 for Project Renewal was pledged at the Mission's climactic state dinner with Prime Minister Menachem Begin In the Knesset. Consisting of 422 men and women from American Jewish communities throughout the U.S., this Mission was the largest major gifts leadership group ever brought to Israel by the UJA. It was led by UJA national vice chairman Joel S. Hreslau of Washington, DC. Begin applauded the evening's expression of leadership support for ongoing humanitarian programs and lor Project Renewal as clear and strong evidence of American Jewish solidarity with Israel's people. Breslau and the mission's
team of top-ranking national and regional officers pointed out that the fundraising results continued an unbroken sequence of UJA national events which have resulted in increased campaign giving of 35-40 percent. This indicates that the national goal Is achievable, they stated. The UJA is seeking a 1981 goal of $C3S million In the regular 1981 campaign, plus a minimum of $54 million tor Project Renewal. The state dinner ended a comprehensive four-day program which took participants into 23 Project Renewal neighborhoods to meet the residents, developed dialogues with pioneering families engaged in repopulating the Galilee and In resettling in the Negev under the terms of the Israel-Egypt peace treaty; and surveyed a wide range of Jewish Agency and Joint Distribution Committee programs aiding the young, the elderly, the handicapped and new Immigrants.

Profits in Israel Jews of America help Israel in a variety of ways. ' We buy Israel Bonds, and contribute to the United Jewish Appeal through our annual Federation Campaigns. We visit Israel as tourists, and some of our children participate in various pilgrimages and other study opportunities. There is yet another avenue of effort that should be explored, particularly for those who are oriented toward business and investment. That area is Israel's need for job-producing know-how and investment capital. Israel needs the active participation of American Jewry in helping to establish businesses. To assist Omahans in exploring some of the possibilties, the Jewish Press and the Federation Libary are cooperating to establish a resource center of information. We will be in contact with Israeli officials to assemble information which then will be made available in the Federation library at the JCC. By utilizing this resource center, investors and businessmen will have an opportunity to become more fully aware of potential profits.
With Color and Scent And Three Dimensions HAIFA — For most of our knowledge of the ancient history of this country we rely on the written word of the Bible. Our imagination must fill in the lacunae and the details. No architectural plans have been preserved of the ark of the Covenant or of the Temple in Jerusalem. Even archeological reconstructions are fragmentary and conjectural. There are no recordings nor even musical notes of the Song of Miriam, or the melodies of the psalms, or the precise sounds of the hymns — only flat, narrative accounts. One physical aspect of the life of those days is still available to us — that reflected In nature. The Jews of old lived essentially an agrarian life, and so the Bible is rich in its listing of trees and plants, fruits and grains and flowers, in Its account of the growth and harvesting of crops, in Its description of the greenery of the times. Much of this Is still extant, In Israel or elsewhere. What a great Idea it would be If someone were to concentrate in one
The Black Hebrews By Leonard J. Davis Near East Report Israel is damned if it does and damned If It doesn't. At least that's the attitude of columnist William Raspberry, who has attacked Israel for its treatment of American blacks visiting Israel and the Black Hebrew sect which has settled Illegally in Israel's Negev cities. Raspberry shot from the hip last month when he accused Israel of racism (or denying entry to five blacks planning to visit Israel. He lamely transmitted an Israeli explanation that the five may have been connected with the Black Hebrews. Finally last week the columnist established that some of those barred were indeed affiliated with the Black Hebrew sect despite their denials. "Clearly, at least some of the members of that group were not as innocent of knowledge of the sect as they led me to believe," Raspberry admitted, but he was still unsatisfied. "Who are the Black Hebrews? Why, if their presence in Israel is illegal, have they been permitted to remain there for 10 or 11 years?" In a subsequent Raspberry column, an Israeli spokesman told the history of the Black Hebrew controversy. The first group of 200 entered the country legally and settled in Dlmona. Then their numbers started to swell, the spokesman explained. "They no longer came as legal immigrants but as tourists. After they arrived, they would destroy their papers and claim the right to live injsraej." They now number morcUian 1,000. "Tfiey~b"ring in a lot of drugs?' the Israeli explained, "and they are involved in a lot of crime, including drugs, robberies, prostitution and murder; they support themselves this way." Raspberry asked, "So why doesn't Israel deport them?" "Legally, we could," the spokesman responded, "but there was the fear that this would lead to an outcry among blacks in America." The columnist did not accept the explanation, however, complaining that other blacks visiting Israel were subject lo

It is being done! In a 533-acre tract of hills and valleys located at historic Modiin (remember the Maccabees?) almost equi-distant between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv lies the project known as Neot Kedumim. It is a beautiful phrase In Hebrew that somehow escapes suitable translation into English. Ancient Meadows, or Oasis of Yore, or Gardens of Antiquity or Pastures of Time Immemorial are some of the efforts but they are Inadequate. Neot Kedumim was created by Nogah'Hareuveni, a man who has dedicated his life to this unusual undertaking. His Biblical gardens are not a museum In any sense of the word. They are a complete, living, growing recreation of the country as it was In days of old. The words of our ancient literature come alive as one wanders through the Dale of the Song of Songs, the Fields of the Seven Varieties, the Ascent of the Four Species, the Forest of Milk and Honey and other glens and dales and woodlands.
searches and delays. Raspberry also objected to Israel's characterization of the Black Hebrews as criminals and charged that the sect was subject to Israeli discrimination. Unfortunately, Raspberry did not read an investigatory series In The Jerusalem Post last month before he wrote his colNames and phrases from the Bible take on color and scent umns. The report, prepared by Joan Borsten, found cases of dis- and three dimensions here: the cedars of Lebanon, the myrtle illusionment, Illiteracy, malnutrition and even mysterious and the hyssop; the vineyards in blossom and the olive trees; deaths among the Black Hebrews. the splcebeds and the date palms and roses of Sharon.

According to Borsten, the book will tell of behind him horses red and sorrel and white. Those who have "death from malnutrition of two of (Whitfield's) nine children, seen the wild anemones In full bloom in the fields in Shevat, In traveling in and out of Israel on someone else's passport, bodies their multicolored hues will awake with a start to the poetry of carried out of cult headquarters late at night." the prophet's words.

It was an experlence^some 300 Omahans will never for— get, for they witnessed the performance of the "Diaspora Yeshlva Band" in the JCC's gymnasium. Exciting, dynamic terrific, enlightening are a few of the words that describe the evening's aura. Where else could one hear and see and be a part of contemporary Jewry that could make young children jump and shout with joy; make teens spontaneously get up and whirl with the traditional 'hora'; make adults applaud and toe-tap throughout a two hour performance of a "religious rock band"? It's easy to wonder why, but difficult to explain why so many others didn't join us that night for our lives were truly enriched by the remarkable "Diaspora Yeshiva Band", and we thank them for coming to Omaha.

Board Approves $1,627,789 for 1981 The 1981 budget (or the Omaha Jewish Federation was approved at the Nov. 25 Board meeting. Paul Cohen, chairman of the Central Planning and Budgeting Committee, presented the committee's recommendations. "The 1981 budget represents a 6% Increase over the 1980 budget despite a yearly inflation of more than double that figure," Mr. Cohen said. The same level of funding for 1981 can be maintained because of significant endowment funding given to the Federation over the past several years and a surplus from the 1980 budget, Mr. Cohen explained. Joe Kirshenbaum, president of the Federation, noted that 1981 would be a crucial year In terms of raising money for the community. "We have been raising the same amount of money, about %i,G0O.0OO, for last few years. We need to increase that amount in the coming year or we may be faced with a cutback of services." Mr. Kirshenbaum added that although the Campaign was down about $27,000, the Federation Increased its allocation to the United Jewish Appeal by some $25,000 over the previous year. "We are doing our utmost to aid the State of Israel, and this feeling by the entire Jewish community is reflected in the allocation to UJA," Mr. Klrshenbaum explained. The members of the Central Planning and Budgeting Committee reviewed the needs of each agency and requests for na-
tional and overseas allocations before presenting the budget to the Board. Participating In a series of budget hearings were Francis Batt, Ron Brodkey, Jane Brooks, Harvey Cooper, Joe Erman, Sanford Friedman, Don Greenberg, Marvin Polikov, Silvia Hoffman, Miriam Simon and Mimi Waldbaum.

A heat pump can cut your heating costs by as much as 60 percent, depending on the age and condition of your furnace and the fuel you now use. >•'! jvV.
A heat pump is flarneless. It uses electricity in a unique, cost-saving way. Picture a compact machine that both heats In winter-——-• and cools in summer. Efficiently. Economically. It may be hard to believe, but there's actually heat present in cold outside air.

Ordering is easy! Three days $i$%} advance notice is appreciated, however, any last minute needs will be taken care of cheerfully and efficiently. We suggest that to enjoy your party trays at their very best, plan to pick them up as close to serving time as possible. Let Baker's Deli's help make your party a delicious success.

propane, or the nation's supply of natural gas. It uses electricity . . . electricity which OPPD produces from coal and nuclear fuel.
Save for America. Save for you. When you use OPPD electricity for home heating and cooling, you reduce America's dependence on foreign 1uels. You help cut the outflow of our nation's dollars, as well as your own. — -And just as Important',' y o u ~ ™ help conserve oil, propane, and natural gas, which can be allocated for transportation, for the production of fertilizers, plastics and other chemical products, and for agriculture.
And a heat pump can easily extract that heat by reversing the cycle normally associated with an air conditioner.
Like we said, imported oil for heating costs money. Lots of money. And in the future, chances are it's going to cost even more.
So very simply, in winter, a heat pump extracts heat from outdoor air and pumps it inside to keep your house warm.
So if you're burned up about . heating bills, if your present furnace and air conditioner are about worn out, or if you're building a new home, consider an electric heat pump which both heats and cools. Call a certified heating and air conditioning contractor today. Or just dial 536-4310 and ask for one of OPPD's heat pump specialists.
In summer, a heat pump does just the reverse. It removes heat from the air inside your house and pumps it outside, just like an air conditioner. An economical heat pump doesn't use costly imported oil,
