Their response was most positive, Mr. Hoberman said.

Beth Israel Rabbi Isaac Nadoff stated "there is no question that we have to strengthen our own community as well as national needs." He was "optimistic and confident the dinner would be a success. It will be a morale booster for the community." Rabbi Nadoff also noted the excellent rapport between the Federation and synagogues and how, by working together, everyone will be made aware o( the needs of the community and Israel.

Paul Shyken, president of Beth Israel, pledged the support of the synagogue for the Men's Dinner. He is confident the dinner will be a success.

Rabbi Kenneth Bromberg of Beth El Synagogue was in Israel and unable to attend the meeting. However, Arnold Jaffee, secretary of Beth El, said "the synagogue will do everything it can to help promote the dinner so that its goal will be reached."

Not tod long ago, In 1935, there were 18,000 Jewish men, women and children in Leipzig — a thriving and viable community by any standard of judgment.

"We must preserve what we have" Bobble Epstein

Dear Diary, MOD. I can't believe its March 23rd — months of planning are no longer — reality is here! The reservations for the luncheon and dinner are coming in fast and furious.

April 1st and 2nd arc definitely going to be memorable days for the Jewish women of Omaha.

Tues. Today was the "take time out and learn" day. Again the women of Omaha responded to the needs of our community and Israel with generous increases. Today, the feeling was we must preserve what we have.

Wed. Judy Farbcr gave me a sneak preview of the table decorations for the luncheon. They are fantastic. We thank Judy and her entire family — I do marvel at people who are creative.

Thur. Regular meeting day! Finalizing plans for the luncheon and the dinner were our priorities. Morris Mallne let us see Friday's Press! He certainly has been supportive of the Women's Campaign and our own publicity ladles — Cookie Hoberman and Ellie Gordman — have been outstanding!

Fri. Today Is my day! The beauty shop, a definite need, the grocery store, and cooking. I must make a good meal tonight because I have the feeling next week Is going to be hectic. Thank G-d my family is very understanding.

Weekend I reviewed my daily mall from Mitch Orllk. He is an exceptional young man. We could not have done the Campaign without his guidance. Mitch, we thank you!

The Jewish Press

Masada Many' of us have complained bitterly in past years about the quality of television programming.

With few exceptions, television has not used its extraordinary power of visualization to inform, teach, or motivate. Low level entertainment plus dazzling selling messages have been the norm rather than the exception.

Now, there is an opportunity for parents to rejoice and join with their children in viewing a proram of historical importance.

In 73 A.D., %0 Jewish men, women, and children made their last stand against tyranny at Masada.

Historians have acclaimed this determination of a small group of freedom fighters not to submit to Roman domination a symbol for the struggle against oppression around the world.

Don't miss the first two hours of a spectacular eight-hour dramatization of the novel "Masada" — Sunday evening, April 5, KETV (Channel 7).

Tanks That Fly for Israel's Army HAIFA One of the great qualities for which Israel's defence army is noted is its ability to introduce and exploit Innovations. Originality is a hallmark of success, and the fighting forces of this country have gained the respect of military observers from all over the world because of the ease with which difficult problems are sometimes solves by unusual operations.

One example which comes quickly to mind is the episode some years ago when Israel helicopters landed behind Egyptian lines in the Sinai, latched on to a highly sophisticated new Soviet, radar station that had just been installed, and lifted the whole thing bodily into the air. K was carried off to Israel where it was inspected with much interest also by U.S. military officers.

The conception and execution of the Entebbe raid was similar exercise in originality and surprise.

Letters to the Editor To the Editor: Believing that a deeper understanding of Jewish history, the story of Israel and the lifestyle of Jewish communities throughout the world will enable our sons and daughters to meet the challenges that will confront their generation, we are pleased to announce that the United Jewish Appeal will again sponsor a Summer Mission to Europe and Israel for university students, but with a new European itinerary The Mission begins with a survey of Jewish roots in Europe, an attempt to come to grips with the meaning of the Holocaust and an analysis of the remaining European Jewish communities. This is followed by a comprehensive study of the land and the people of Israel The European portion of this dassroom-without-walls will take place for the first time in Vienna, Mauthausen and Budapest. The Israeli portion will include camping in the Sinai, as well as tours to historic sites, visits to absorption centers and settlement towns, meetings w-ilh Jewish Agency, Joint Distribution Committee and government personnel, and - above all — free interchange with a wide range of individuals Mission dates are June21 'Sunday) — July 13 (Monday). The cost will be approximately $2,640. (Subject to change. Based on APEX airfares. Excursion fares are substantially higher.) The Mission will be accompanied throughout by members of the National UJA staff.

Participants will be selected by personal interview on the basis of leadership potential within their individual community and/or campus All candidates must have completed their first year of college.

We urge you to carefully consider the outstanding young people in your family and in your community who should participate in this carefully-designed Mission, and refer their names to our 1JJA University Programs Department.

To the Editor: I am writing in reference to a lorum on the Human Life Amendment. This is an important issue. If an amendment is passed, it would not only outlaw abortion but also various forms of birth control.

The majority of people believe a woman has the right to choose her own reproductive rights and they should stand up and be heard.

There will be a forum on this issue at UNO In the auditorium on April 21 from 7-9 p.m.

Due to the caliber of panelists being brought in by the ProLife side, they will have a large turnout. The Pro-Choice side is having local panelists and we certainly hope to be represented as well in the audience.

Please come. Your attendance will be appreciated.

Women representative to the PrfrCholce Coalition To the Editor: I find that sometimes Jewish teenagers take too many things for granted, including our parents. That is why BILU USY would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank our parents for helping us with the super carnival.

We appreciate the help they gave. USY would have trouble functioning if we didn't have this kind of support from our parents. Their support of our youth group encourages us to learn leadership and responsibility.

On Sunday, March 8, eight mothers came to Beth El Synagogue to bake hamentaschen and falafel. Thanks go to Gall Abramson, Sheila Anderson, Serita Cooper, Judy Katskee. Ruth Maline, Evelyn Mitchell, Maxine Noodell and Edan Ostravich.

During the Purim Carnival, many parents assisted. We would like to thank Gall Abramson, Gloria Goodman, Judy Katskee, Huth and Morris Maline, Maxine Noodell, Eden Ostravich and Edie Wolf. Helping us with the tickets were Jack Noodell and Allen Ostravich. Also, special thanks to our advisers Jodi and Hay Goldstein. Thanks to everyone for all their help, and thank you to everyone who attended.

Many believe that the unerring precision of the aerial attacks against Egyptian airfields in the first few hours of the Six-Day War was due to innovative electronic equipment developed by the Israelis.

The point is that the defence forces, known as Zahal, are constantly open to all suggestions which can enhance its performance, or introduce economies in its operations. To this end, the Ministry of Defense invites soldiers and civilians alike to submit ideas for improvement. No idea is too small nor loo far-fetched for consideration, and a committee of experts carefully studies every proposal. Last year more than 2000 suggestions were forwarded to headquarters, and 65% of them were adopted. The father of each idea accepted earned a liberal cash award, and the total budget cost was not small. But the savings made possible, not to speak of the comforts and conveniences introduced, were said to be worth many more millions.

A good many of the most successful Ideas arc directly related to combat, or use o( equipment and weapons, and hence details are unavailable to the curious and prying eyes of the reader, or enemies across the border, alike.

A review of "Project Originality" in a recent issueof the popular Zahal magazine, Bamahaneh, was able to tell of a few of the suggestions that had not been accepted. Some of the ideas and inventions sounded like fantastic science fiction, but even the wildest of proposals is carefully checked. Perhaps the germ of a good Idea could be found even in an absurd recommendation.

Thus, the committee pored over plans to build a flying tank.

Another sketch delineated a ship with a razor-sharp bow, which could simply slice through enemy craft.

The comfort or convenience of military personnel is also a matter of concern. One soldier was pained to see his female colleagues staggering under the weight of their duffle bags. CopyIng an idea from visiting tourists, he proposed attaching a pair of small wheels to the kltbag, so It could be rolled along. The idea was rejected on the grounds that the wheels would interfere with the laundering of the bags.

Some men find it difficult to get to sleep without a headrest, and so It was suggested that a small Inflatable rubber pillow be made standard equipment as part of every sleeping bag. The Idea was rejected on the grounds that under field conditions the slightest pin prick would make the pillows pop, or become unusable. Besides, after a long day of field activity, whether in combat, in maneuvers or in training, does a soldier really need a pillow to help him fall asleep?

What docs a soldier do when, penned In a tank for many hours of action, he has the urge "to go". Proposal: To install small bedpans (tank-pans?) for emergency use. The suggestion was not accepted, chiefly on hygienic grounds. The question still remains: What does a soldier do when. . . .?

Still, it's good to know what when it comes to really Important things Zahal is always open to new Ideas, and our army, navy and air force have the benefit of the best ideas of our best brains.

March 27,1981

Ominous Saudi Threat Near East Report The Administration's Intention to sell offensive arms to Saudi Arabia for Its F-15 planes has stirred much controversy here and in Israel.

In his March 12 column In The New York Times, the Washington Star, and other newspapers, William Saf ire calls this plan the Administration's "most misguided decision to date".

A new element of growing alarm has been injected into the debate by persistent press reports that Riyadh will also get four AW ACS Intelligence-gathering aircraft.

Israel's Deputy Defense Minister Mordechai Zlppori reflected Israel's fears when he said that Saudi Arabia could, with these planes, monitor ail of Israel's military activities, locating troops, aircraft, tanks and artillery pieces. They would "expose all of Israel's secrets. We would not be able to make even one move without their knowing about It." Abba Eban, a former foreign minister in Labor governments, also denounced the sales. Sophisticated military hardware, he noted, do not Insure the stability of a regime.

The current (March 21) New Republic publishes an article thai is must reading for all concerned with this critical Issue.

Entitled "New Salaams to the Saudis," It was written by Steve Emerson, a former staff member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Emerson shows (hat the Issue of Israel's security Is not the only major argument to be made against the sales: "There are many others, including the absence of a sound military rationale for the equipment, perpetuation of an unhealthy American-Saudi relationship, the possibility of Saudi mischief In the Persian Gulf, and potential destabilizing effects on Saudi Arabia Itself."

Israel's Foreign Minister Shamir issued a statement that warrants careful attention, for It sums up all of Israel's concerns. He hailed the "deep sense of friendship which binds our two peoples and countries," but added: "The friendship and understanding between the United States and Israel have been marred recently by the American decision to supply Saudi Arabia with sophisticated auxiliary equipment for F-15 airplanes, as well as with four AWACS aircraft, as has now been reported in the media.

"The President, the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense believe that It is possible to redress the damage by supplying weapons systems to Israel under special conditions. To our regret, we must stale that we do not see this as a solution, or as a way out.

"The State of Israel will not be able—even from the economic point of view—to withstand such an arms race."

Mr. Shamir decried the "massive flow of all types of weapons, Including the most advanced, into this region from every possible source: the United States, the Soviet Union and the European countries. These massive quantities of weapons do not strengthen the West In this region; they do not serve any positive purpose, but they do jeopardize peace and endanger Israel."

He derided the portrait of Saudi Arabia as moderate and proWestern. "This state has participated in all the wars against Israel. It orchestrated the conference which declared jihad against us. It is the major financier of the PLO's terrorism. It works persistently and aggressively against the peace process.

Any additional military equipment given to It will ultimately

flT

serve all of the extremist elements in the region that oppose peace and stability."

The dinner is one way the Jewish men In our community can raise the necessary funds to maintain Jewish Institutions here and abroad."

Rabbi Weinstein stated, "If we are to guarantee for our sons and daughters the benefits of an organized and cohesive Jewish community here in Omaha, and at the same time aid our people throughout the world, then we clearly must do our share" by attending the Men's Campaign Dinner.

Ted Seldin, president of Temple Israel, attended the meeting. He said he sees the synagogue as an Integral part of the community and pledged the support of Temple Israel for the Men's Dinner.

Men's Campaign worker Marshall Kushner Is concerned about the attitude and commitment of the younger people In the community. He said "we must educate these younger men to take an active role In the community. The Men's Dinner will help do this.

NEW YORK (JTA) - Rabbi Yisochur Dov Rokeach, the Belzer rebbe, arrived here from Israel under heavy security guard because of reported threats to his life.

But a violent street confrontation between his follow-' ers and members of the rival Satmar Hasldlc sect did not materialize during the reception held for the rebbe in a public school auditorium In the heavily Orthodox Boro Park section of Brooklyn.

Dr. Seger, who earned his Th.D. In Old Testament Studies from Harvard University, is well-known In Omaha for his work as CM. (Nick) Newman Visiting Professor-of Biblical Archaeology In the College of Arts and sciences, Humanities at Uie University of Nebraska at Omaha, according to a Cultural Arts Council spokesman.

He was instrumental in bringing to Omaha and the greater Mid-West community the Archaeological exhibit which attracted more than 50,000 persons to the Jewish Community Center several years ago and won national acclaim.

Dr. Joe D. Seger the foremost young American archaeologists working in Israel today; from 1976 to 1980 he was organizing director of a new research project at Tel HalU (Biblical Ziqlag) near Kibbutz Lahav in southern Israel, the spokesman said.

Dr. Seger's particular expertise and scholarship centers around a 300 year period in Biblical history called the Patriarchal Period, about 1800-1500 B.C. and even more specifically the ceramics and pottery of this period. The Tel Halif site Includes a fortress wall system dating from around 2500 B.C. and Is significant because there are only a few archeological sites which produce artificats from the 2500 B.C. period in southern Israel.

Artistically Speaking

By Carol Katxman When Steve Rod came to Omaha to interview for the position of executive director of our JCC, he was astounded by the similarity In appearance to the 'J' in Minneapolis.

"Apparently, 10 years ago the Omaha New JCC Building committee liked the new building in Minneapolis so much, they modeled the JCC here after it," said Steve. "I feel Carol Katiman right at home."

Steve served as Mmneapolls's assistant executive director for five years during which time he presided over the cultural arts program. Mlnneapolls's Jewish community has proudly boasted the most extensive program of its kind in the United States. And that makes Steve Hod anxious to use the Omaha JCC building here the way it was intended.

"People say we're overprogrammed;" Bald Steve, "1 say we're not doing enough."

In comparing Omaha to Minneapolis, Steve pointed out that even though we have fewer Jews than Minneapolis, "we still have the potential to create Imaginative programming."

"Look at Minneapolis," urged Steve. "Not only does the JCC use its theater 'Center Stage' 52 weeks a year, but two original plays won first place awards In 1977 and 1979 in statewide competitions."

From more than 60 entries, "Today a Little Extra," a one-act play about a kosher butcher's last day after fifty years in his shop, earned the right to be performed in communities throughout Minnesota. The 1979 winner depicted a day in the life of two girls in a concentration camp.

"How much is It worth for the entire state to be exposed to something like this?" asked Steve. "It become qualitative community relations."

In addition, the JCC in Minneapolis supports two resident dance companies, one Israeli, one modern, plus a professionally-run art gallery exhibiting Jewish art and works by Jewish artists.

It was Steve Rod's idea, for example, to contact Allen Schumelster, the Minneapolis photographer whose photos of Hasidic Jews now hang in the JCC gallery here and are for sale through April 6.

"We've got the facilities here," Steve pointed out, "to present concerts, plays, art exhibitions, dance recitals and films. And we've got some very determined volunteers," like Margo Ulekes, who initiated the Academy of Ballet classes at the 'J' and Madeleine Firestone whose Idea It was to bring the three cantors together for a Jewish Music Month concert on April 5, a first for Omaha.

Though Steve Rod just arrived in Omaha 13 weeks ago, he's already made his mark.

O/d Timers Review BySldKatleman.

The morning sunshine meetIng of the Old Timers opened at 11 a.m., when Nathan Schneider introduced Yours Truly, and I in turn by tape Introduced Emll Cohen, with a rendition of Jewish humor and songs. All those who attended enjoyed It very much.

Lunch started at 12 p.m. on the dot, and Harold Siegel, gave the motzl, in English and Hebrew. He figured our speaker wouldn't understand the Hebrew. Mollle and her crew served as always a very good lunch. And for dessert, Mollie served dishes of peaches, plus Hamentachen, but only two to a person, tight-wad. Then Charley Fcllman led us in the "benshen".

We then had reports from our committees: Sec Marv Treller if you are Interested in getting your season baseball tickets at a special price.

Duke Dloogoff, the sunshine scoul, trys to let us know who

is In and out the hospitals. If you know, help him, and also who is ill and whose on the mend.

The Mltzva Box received a very nice contribution from Mr. and Mrs. Sam Epstein and all their children and grandchildren. In remembrance of father and grandfathers and great grandfather, thank you all very much. Grand-pa will be missed by all who knew him.

Morrle Katz, our vice president and program chairman, Introduced the speaker at our noon day meeting.

Harold W. Andersen, president of the World Herald Publishing Co., is chairman, director and trustee In the Journalism profession. He has held and still holds other offices in local and national organizations. Mr. Andersen, like the professional that he Is, and under the stress of a very bad cold, gave his audience

his account of his recent trip to many of the Asian countries, and other foreign countries.

His talk included such countries, as Russia, China, Africa, Hungary, and Israel. Mr. Andersen gave the audience his picture of many good things of some countries, but many were stricken with strife and •pestilence. He ended his talk letting us know that we in America, with all the inflation, taxes, and other faults that we endure, we have to be thankful that we still live in the good U.S.A. That's It for today. Hope youall had a happy Purim.

He said, "The scholarly types and the priesthood of the ancient temple, and all of those who killed Christ thought they were too high and mighty to listen to the ordinary'people."

Mention was made of the book-burning to be conducted that afternoon. In relation to this, the leader said, "most people think of the Holocaust when burning is mentioned, well not us." A round of chuckles followed.

Burnings — of books, magazines, art, Ouiji boards — remove barriers separating Way members from God. The Way has held such burnings In Grand Island, Blue Springs and Omaha in the past two weeks.

Not among books marked for burning, but recommended for reading by Way members are two books which deny the Holocaust: The Hoax of the Twentieth Century and The Myth of the Six Million.

In an article in an undated but apparently recent Issue of The Way College of Emporia's publication "Jot and Tittle" contained the following statement: "When asked about The Way's political involvement and reasons for using anti-Semitic textbooks, Rev. Martindale (Rev. Craig Martindalc, administrative vice president and Way Corps director of The Way College of Emporla) replied, 'We teach the Word of God and when working with the Bible, one of the things you have got to deal with is the Jew situation.

We're not antianything, we're pro Word of God. We have thousands of people from Jewish backgrounds all over the country. We're researching people and we sec the Bible as applying to dally life and living."

The Way College occupies a facility once a Presbyterian institution In Emporia. Kan-

sas. Two basic tools listed for the Way training program are a Bible and a rifle or shotgun (handgun, also, If desired I Officials of The Way claim the weapons training courses are for hunting safety, while deprogrammed former Way members have spoken of a plan to "take to the streets and defend The Word."

"Takit," which by Its outward appearance, seems to be a "wholesome" musical rock band, tours for the cult. It appeared in Des Moines recently. Its members appeal to their audience to accept The Way's program.

The Way International Is headquartered in New Knoxville, Ohio. It Is led by Victor Paul Wrenville, a Fundamentalist minister. One source puts its membership between 40,000 and 100,000 in the 50 states and abroad.

Older Adult News

By Helen Newman Fun and festivity prevailed at the JCC on Monday, March 16, when the Older Adults held their pre-Purim party. "Raggedy Ann" (Mollle Delman) and "Raggedy Andy" (Steven Rod) in appropriate costumes, passed Hamantashen around to the more than 100 members and guests. Rosaline Epstein was selected "Purim Queen" and David Weiss the "Purim King."

The hat and costume contest was the colorful part of the program. Winners were Betty Weissman, Fannie Chunovic, Jennie Epstein, Fanny Manvitz and Ann Margolin, while others who entered the contest received honorable mention for their original and creative entries. The grand march by all participants was enhanced by the music of pianist Shirley Schwartz. Leah Slegel's costume portrayed the "whole Meglllah," In keeping with the Purim theme.

The "hamotze" on this day was recited by Louis Langer and Dr. Milton Margolin led the "benchen," using a new version containing more En-

glish words. As President Fanny Manvitz announced the program, she welcomed many visitors and those members who had been absent for some time. "Duke" Dloogoff gave a report on his visits to the sick.

In honor of Fannie Lagman's birthday, her husband, Carl, presented her with a Lifetime Membership in the organization. A generous gift was made by Mr. and Mrs. Sam Epstein In memory of Mr. Epstein's father, David Epstein.

Wednesday, March 25. Following the regular meetings on Monday, the Choral Group

continues their session under the direction of Judy Aden.

The Older Adult groups

During the month of March, there has been a variety of programs — On Mondays at the Center; on Thursdays at Beth El and the Temple Israel luncheon on Wednesday, March 11. Morrie Epstein brought speakers, Jerry Hassett; Rabbi Jonathan Rosenbaum and Mike Boyle to the various luncheon meetings.

Be A Jewish Gardener

by Marcelyn Jill Marti (age 11) Have you ever grown your initials with alfalfa seeds? Have you over tested dirt to see how much air and water was in it? Do you know what there is in soil that makes plants grow?

In Hollywood, Florida, the children at Beth Shalom Day School did an interesting science project. They recorded the results in Hebrew.

This project plugged in with other learning at the religious school. They listed parts of plants in Hebrew and English. The students read about the plants they were to grow in both Hebrew and English.

Contests were held to see who could grow the longest bean plants. Then the beans were counted on the plants in both languages.

The children learned how to water plants, thin seedlings, and discover why they need fertilizer. Notes about the project were taken in Hebrew.

Some items were grown in the sun and fertilized. Some ware grown In the shade with no fertilizer: Then growth rates were noted. Each child was given a book on various types of bugs to learn how they effect gardens. The children conversed about bugs in Hebrew.

Hortlculturalists visited the school to discuss gardens. When the project was finished, the students learned how to harvest and cook their vegetables. Some plants were used as gifts.

There" were long range benefits. Many students started gardens at home, and made It a fail project. The children learned that If they wanted to row gardens, they had to take care of them.

Many fun experiments took place. Here's one for you: Soak radish seeds and place them in a jar lined with wet paper toweling.

Grow the seeds in the dark until the stems are 1" long.

Pour off excess water, and lay Jar on its side.

Wait 24 hours.

Then look at growth of stem and roots.

Turn jar right side up. '*' " ' Water.

Wait 24 hours.

What will the change tell you about the stems and roots?- v The Jewish Day School In Hollywood, Florida has great ideas.

Wouldn't It be fun to try this project yourself?

On a winter night In 1940 Thomas "began" what perhaps is his greatest work. On that night, a distraught Thomas made a pledge to St. Jude Thaddeus, patron saint of the hopeless. His prayer was for rescue from his despair. His pledge: To someday erect a shrine of hope for those who had none. From his promise grew St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

"Danny Thomas has not only brought joy to millions through his sensitive portrayals as an actor and comedian in the entertainment world, he has helped bring hope and renewed life to boys and girls stricken with catastrophic Illness through his founding and support of St. Jude Hospital.

For his grace as an entertainer and his devotion to the work of St. Jude Hospital, he doubly merits the honor of the Father Flanagan Award, the highest honor we can bestow at Boys Town," said Boys Town's Executive Director Father Hupp.

Previous recipients of the Father Flanagan Award, which recognizes those who have performed outstanding services In their lives for the betterment and welfare of youth, have been Mrs. Spencer Tracy (1075), Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1976), Bob Hope (1977), Dr. Mildred Jefferson (1978), Dr. Jonas Salk (1979), and Bob and Dorothy DeBolt(1980).
