Home perpetuates Nick Newman's memory I MC
By Morris Mallne The legacy ofC.M. (Nick) Newman to the Omaha Jewish Community is one of philanthropy and leadership. Although he died more than eight years ago, his presence exists through his leadership influence on others and his continuing impact on Jewish institutions in Omaha and in Israel. The latest expression of love and devotion to his memory is a donation by his family of $100,000 to the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home for the Elderly. Groundbreaking for this facility will take place Sept. 9 at 7:15 p.m. at the Jewish Community Center. The building of the JCC, interestingly, was on of the highly visible accomplishments of Mr. Newman's leadership in this community. As a memorial to Nick, his father, Julc M., and his brothers, E. Robert, Murray H. and L. James, along with their respective spouses, have made it possible for the administrative wing of the new nursing home to carry his name. "It's unfortunate that Nick never saw the JCC, he worked so hard to bring it into being," his brother Murray, told the Jewish Press. Nick died the day that the cornerstone of the new building was to have been dedicated in honor of the Newman families. "Nick," said Murray, "was the first of the younger guys to get into leadership position. He represented the beginning of a new breed of leaders in Omaha emerging in the 1960s." The accomplishments of Nick Newman within the structure of the Jewish Federation of Omaha, his work in behalf of Israel Bonds, and the efforts of he and his wife, Racquel (Racky) to benefit the people and the State of Israel, are documented in the archives of the Jewish Press. His death in 1973 plunged the entire community into mourning, and the Jewish'

Plans for the groundbreaking for the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home for the Elderly will commence at 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday in the north parking lot of the Jewish Community Center. "This groundbreaking is really meant to recognize and honor everyone who has made the Rose Blumkin Home a reality. So many people have had a part in making this possible. This night belongs to all of us," Nancy Greenberg, chairman of the groundbreaking ceremony said.
The groundbreaking ceremonies will commence with a welcome from Joe Kirshenbaum, Jewish Federation of Omaha president.

'Construction brings new parking changes Construction of the Livingston Plaza apartments and the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home will require "inconvenient" parking changes at the JCC for the next six weeks. According to the contractor, most of the current spaces will not be available during this period because of the need to prepare the grounds for the new buildings.
Steps will be taken to provide parking space in the grass areas and visitors to the JCC are being asked to observe the signs and park in designated areas only. The cooperation of staff, members, and guests will be •needed to minimize the inconvenience, the contrator stated. Special arrangements' will be made for the Sept. 9 groundbreaking ceremony.
Editorial A treaty for Israel Now is the time for the United States to offer a treaty of defense to Israel. Such a treaty would be a formal announcement to the world that America's military might would be applied to protect the integrity of Israel. A formal declaration of this nature should be linked to any continuing discussion of the proposed sale of sophisticated weaponry to Saudi Arabia. The proposed sale of $8 billion in AWACS and fighter plane enhancements clearly would jeopardize Israel's security.

Gift for new Home Service for widowed honors Mick Newman now being developed
(Continued from Page 1) Jewish people. His father, Jule M., explained the motivation, in part, by recalling that philanthropy was always a part of the Newman family. "When I was a boy, the pushke (charity box) always occupied a prominent place in our home and we were encouraged to respond generously to the needs of others," he said. Another comment attributed Nick's fundamental concern for all people to have been inspired by his mother Esther K. Additonal information became available in a telephone conversation with Racky, now married to Sherman Neymark, president of Quadrex Corp., a consulting engineering firm, in Campbell, Calif. She recalled vividly and vigorously her years with Nick in Omaha, and the motivation picture developed more completely. Nick showed leadership qualities at a young age emerging as both business success and a community worker in his early 20's. He assumed a minor position in the AntiDefamation League of B'nai
B'rith and with the encouragement of the late Paul Veret, former executive director of the Federation he thrust himself into the mainstream of Jewish communal affairs. Others contributing to his Jewish philanthropic concern were Sadie and Harry Kulakofsky, and Ilse Kuttner. Together, Nick and Racky decided to augment their normal giving to United Jewish Appeal with expanded philanthropic programs. This decision was solidified and intensified during and after the Six-Day War. Nick and Racky went to Israel in 1969 and lived there for a summer. They were concerned that the children of Youth Aliyah • in Ben Shemen had no place to swim in the hot, dry summer and they proceeded to build a swimming pool for them. They also saw to it that five kindergartens were built. Their leadership provided the catalyst for the Newman family's philanthropic participation in Israel.

Even death failed to stop his philanthropic efforts in Israel. His will provided for the building of the Newman Comprehensive High School in Beersheba, dedication of which was attended by Racky and their children in 1980. Another bequest carried out by Racky was to provide scholarship funds for rabbinical students in Israel. The family's concern for Israel now is in the process of moving to the next generation of Newmans. Their son, Edward, 24, is a graduate of the University of San Francisco, and is preparing to make AJiyah to Israel to live on a kibbutz. Their son, Peter, has graduated from the University of California at Berkeley; son, Tom has graduated from the University of Oregon, and daughter Sara J., is currently a junior at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Nick Newman died at the age of 47. His name lives on in Omaha and in Israel. His friends remember. His family remembers. The essence of Nick Newman's philanthropy and leadership will be felt in the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home.

How it was Ily Bert Lewis If you liked 1923, let's take a look at the next year and see what was going on in '24. The world seemed to be a less complicated place then, but change was on the way... An article was captioned "Walking May Be Soon Be A Lost Art", and went on to inform the reader of certain statistics. For instance, it mentioned that in the preceding year 34,690 pleasure cars were manufactured, and 42,000 trucks. It went on to say that this year (1924) the totals were greatly increased. The prediction was that in another ten years this would "literally be a nation on wheels". I don't know how many cars were on our roads in 1934, but the prophecy surely did come true! On the ediorial page of the March 3,1924 Jewish Press a story ran that was titled "Welcome Aleph Zadi Aleph", • telling of the repent "birth" of the organization for boys 1621. An interesting line read that the club would be "an experiment in pro- Semitism, furnishing a living example to the world of true Jewish sirit". One of the active organizations of the time was the Jewish Orphan Society. There were never details of where an Orphans home was located, but the Society met regularly and raised funds for the benefit of those unfortunates. The Labor Lyceum (22nd & Clark) was the meeting place. While we're in that neighborhood, who remembers the Star Store on north 24th street? An ad in the Press offered flour sifters for 9 cents, and kitchen knives for a dime, takeh a bargain! Another special wasa Marcel and BobCurl fora $1 at the Salon L'Charme....the name of the shop alone was glamorous! Congregation Temple Israel proudly announced they had forty new members, and national Iladassah celebrated its 12th anniversary. More excitement? The first annual Hall by the Daughters of Zion would be at the Municipal Auditorium...admission was $1.00 per couple. And that's the way it was 57 years ago.

He offered his support two days before the two Chief Rabbis were scheduled to rule whether the dig site is actually an old Jewish cemetary. In an interview on the Voice of Israel, Kollek declared that " a scientist will not dig in graves, just as an engineer will not construct a building which may collapse."
By Barbara Simon Since 1951, Israel Bonds have provided Israel with investment dollars to help develop the nation's economy-industry, agriculture, energy, roadbuilding, water supply, transportation, airports, harbors, railroads and every economic need of a modern, dynamic state. Economic development must continue and grow, in Israel as well as every country, and for this Israel needs continuing investment through Israel Bonds. Israel can't do it alone because so much of their own capital goes for defense. Annually hundreds of volunteers across the United States work in their communities to raise economic development dollars for Israel through the sale of State of Israel Bonds. Omaha's Women's Division Bond drive is underway now, headed by Marcia Cohen, 1981 Chairman. Major projects going on in Israel for which our Bond dollars are used include development of the Negev, water and energy resources, roads.
"Women of the Year" on behalf of the State of Israel. The luncheon is Sept. 24 at the Jewish Community Center. The guest speaker will be Lt. Col. Ruehama Hermon, "a charming woman colonel in the Israeli army, a shining example of the spirit of modern (and ancient) Israel. Its a community event not to be missed," a Bond spokesman said. Admission is the purchase of at least a $250 Israeli Bond. "Remember, the Bond is not a gift! It is a form of savings for you~or you may choose to put some money away for your children in this manner. The money is yours, there to be cashed in when the term is up, with interest. It's an investment and Israel has always redeemed their Bonds fully and on time.
"You can'also spend your Bonds in Israel, if you're ever planning to travel there, as cash, to help defray the expenses of your trip. And you tan contribute them at some future time, if you wish, to any charitable organization here or in Israel, at which time they become tax deductible. "So when you are called to attend the luncheon or purchase a Bond, say yes! It's a Jewish investment. A smart investment. Don't say "I've already given to Philanthropies," They are not the same thing. Federation Campaign dollars help people with food, clothes, education, apartments, training-the welfare and human needs of daily life.

Buys coins TEL AVIV (JTA) - Bank* Leumi has bought a rare collection of ancient coins, to prevent its sale abroad. The bank is to present the collection, for which it paid $200,00, to the Israel Museum on loan display. The coins belonged to the late Adolf Reifenberg and the collection is regarded as one of the most important in Jewish numismatics. It includes unique coins from the Bar Kochba period. When the bank heard that Reifenberg's heirs had decided to put the collection up for sale in Zurich it decided to purchase it to prevent its removal abroad.

A treaty for Israel (Continued from Page 11 punctuated by mounting terrorist activity-sponsored, encouraged and financed by the Arab states. Saudi Arabia has continued to bankroll the terrorists with its bountiful supply of oil money. Saudi Arabia has called for a holy war against Israel, and is currently joining the Soviet Union, North Korea, Bulgaria, Syria, and Libya in moving massive quantities of weapons into the hands of fanatical terrorists in Lebanon. Now, what hat thU 'moderate' Arab state done for the United States' Saudi Arabia has plunged the world into pmnnmic chaos by spearheading a monstrous buildup of petrodollars the oil exporting countries. The Saudis have embargoed oil to the United States in an attempt to blackmail and force America to her knees. And let us not forget that the Saudis absolutely refused to let the United States add to our strategic oil reserves. InaddltiotUhe Saudis have thwarted the Camp David Accord-the only viable option for a lasting peace in the Middle East. Under the circumstances, why would the United States want to sell AWACS to the Saudis? So far, the Reagan administration has advanced two reasons: The Saudis need the equipment to defend themselves against the Soviet Union. The Saudis are our friends and this is an opportunity for us to demonstrate the sincerity of our friendship. The first reason is so ludicrous that Congress has every right to laugh it out of chambers. If Russia wanted to invade Saudi Arabia, 1,000 AWACS wouldn't deter them. The second reason is debatable, but the pro side may have some trouble defending its position. But if the friendship is going to be debated, then the security of Israel must be taken into consideration, and that is where the defense treaty is appropriate. Despite the unceasing violence and hatred against Israel, her foreign policy has been consistent-there has been an uninterrupted search for a settlement which would allow Israel to live in peace. For more than 30 years, these efforts have been met by a steadfast refusal, on the part of the Arab states, to deal with Israel-or even to recognize the legitimacy of her existence. On the other hand, based on a common democratic heritage and a shared desire for peace in the Middle East, the relations between Israel and the United States have been an example of developing friendship. The United States-through every president and every Congress-has supported Israel in her quest for peace. The United States was ultimately successful in bringing forth agreement between Egypt and Israel-previously hostile nattons-on a peace treaty. At this point-lf the United States aims to improve relations with Saudi Arabia- a treaty of defense should be offered to Israel to let the Arab world know in no uncertain terms that the integrity of Israel is a permanent aim of American foreign policy. In his address to the Knesset on Aug. 5, Prime Minister Menachem Begin said that if such a treaty were offered, he would recommend acceptance to his cabinet.

The neat HAIFA - The realities of practical politics are already setting into effect a dynamism which will directly affect the holding of the next elections in Israel. The following is a condensed statement of the factors which may well dictate the writing of the scenario, with almost computerized automation. There is general agreement in Israel that the most popular vote-catcher of all would be President Yitzhak Navon, a long-time member of the Labor Party. Though his views on many current issues are not altogether clear, he is extremely popular ad personam, he is a Sephardi, and he is above the controversies which surround most of the leaders of the Labor Party. His five-year term as President of the State expires in May, 1983, and he has made it clear he would not resign from that honorable (but largely honorary) post to enter the active political arena before the term comes to a full end. Though there is no fixed legal requirement, it is expected that a "neutralizing" period would be required after he retires from the presidency so that he could not be accused of making political capital out of his incumbency. The Likud has talked of passing a law to make a 12-month cooling-off period mandatory. When Navon becomes available for participation in active political life the whole ball game changes, and the confrontation between Likud and Labor takes on a different complexion entirely. Prom the Likud point of view: A Labor Party led by Navon would make tremendous inroads into the traditional Sephardi support for Begin, and could bring about a landslide victory for Labor, greater than any in the history of the country. Likud tacticians believe it necessary to create conditions which would bring about a new election in Israel before Navon becomes available. If Likud can learn something from the mistakes made in June, and can succeed in bringing about some appreciable improvement in economic conditions, it should be able to garner a much safer majority in the Knesset and remain securely in power, thus deferring the Navon threat for a full four years, during which time anything could happen. From the point of view of the Labor Party, objectively, Navon would be a godsend to rescue a party racked by internal animosities, here at last would be a leader who is

To the Editor:
Our personal thanks for running the story, "Community Learning to Treasure its Mentally Retarded Children", based on our experiences with our little daughter Talya, a few weeks ago.
Both as parent and as rabbi in the community, I want to commend the Jewish Federation of Omaha for the program of Professional Internships in Jewish Communal Opportunties (PIJCO) it is sponsoring and developing. In 1980 my son Efrem interned with ADL-CRC and this summer my son Hillel was similarly engaged with The Jewish Press, under the tutelage, respectively, of Barry Morrison and Morris Maline and, for the academic aspects of the program, Conrad Koller and Mitch Orlick. Having thus had an opportunity over two years to observe PIJCO, in part, at fairly close range, I find the virtues of the program to be these: 1. The young people are given substantial tasks to perform. I detected no significant amount of "make-work." 2. Consonant with their other responsibilities, Messrs Morrison and Maline (In the cases with which I am familiar) acted as true mentors generously and thoughtfully sharing their professional experience with their interns. 3. For a college student summer job, given that the work itself is vastly more interesting than serving hamburgers, the remuneration is adequate if not spectacular. 4. The academic aspect of PIJCO, essentially an orientation to the structure and funtlons of the organized Jewish community, is improving year to year. The program, after all, is only three years old. I urge the Federation to continue its support for PIJCO. Some interns may be moved to seek professional careers hi Jewish communal service; others will become effective lay leaders or knowledgeable rank and file members of their Jewish communities. All such outcomes are highly desireable. Rabbi Kenneth Bromberg
We deeply believe that the prayers of our family and friends in Omaha, as well as elscwhert, have helped keep Talya alive. Moreover, the fact that several community papers, like

But the present Labor leadership, aware of that fact, has a personal interest in seeing to it that the next elections take place befor Navon is available. Hence Shimon Peres and his cohorts will do everything in their power to aggravate, undermine, embarrass and destroy the Begin Government even to the extent of playing politics with Israel's world image, so that his Government will fall and Peres will go into the elections still the standard bearer of Labor. After all, he did lead the party to a remarkable recovery after its 1977 debacle. The hope is that by learning from the experience of 1981. Labor may yet resume power in the country. The picture that emerges therefore is: Likud will seek a quick election, preferably following some popular dramatic events, to ensure an improvement in the party's standing which would enable it to set up a Government without absolute reliance on the religious blocs, with which it has a basic sympathy in any event. Shimon Peres will likewise seek an early election, but for entirely different reasons. The party in power has the advantage, and Begin can always choose his time by resigning and going to the voters when he thinks it most advantageous. AH signs point to that course of action.

when? practically assured of victory. But political ambitions do' not always follow the dictates of what is best either for the country or even for the party concerned. Politics is highly personal. The leadership in control at any given moment is concerned with remaining in control. The long battle by Shimon Peres to retain the leadership created many conflicts. Kabin's attacks against Peres have not been forgotten. Peres's dumping olBar-Levatthe last moment still rankles. The differences between the doves and the hawks in the party have not been solved. The upsurge of leftist socialism (Mapam) constitutes a threat to those in the party who prefer to veer toward the centre. If national elections were to be held in 1983, the party as a whole would almost without question choose Navon to replace the present leadership, and lead it in the appeal to the electorate. These elements, and they are probably in the majority, would therefore prefer that the Begin Government remain in office until Navon retires from the Presidency.

A/oiv fo tell the truth
By Moshe Decter Near East Report
Just suppose it were now discovered that, during the ordeal, of America's hostage crisis with Iran, major Western countries had secretly sold and shipped substantial military equipment worth millions of dollars to Iran. Just imagine that a British firm had supplied engines for Iran's British made Scorpion tanks. That an Italian arms dealer had provided spare parts for Iran's American-made M-60 tanks. That the equipment was delivered by a Luxembourg-chartered DC 8. And that the whole deal was arranged through a bill of lading falsified with the tacit approval of friends. Just conjure up the front-page headline in The New York Times: "British and Italians with the Conivance of France, Are Said to Have Sold Iran Engines and Spare Parts for Scorpion and M-60 Tanks." That's the scenario, right? Wrong! The secret arms tranfers actually happened as described above, even after the United States had extracted promises from its European friends not to supply arms and equipment to Iran.

Bond leaders JERUSALEM (JTA) -"Don't take anything for granted in Israel. Always remember that we live in a miracle." This advice was offered by President Yitzhak Navon to COO Israel Bond Organization leaders from the United States, Canada and Western Europe who are attending the 30th anniversary conference of the organization. He noted that although the history of the Jewish people is measured in thousands of years, a short period of time can be decisive. If Israel had been established 10 years earlier, hundreds of thousands or millions of Jews could have been saved, Navon said.

Serious students of Torah recognize that there is no repetition of any precept unless the text wishes to add some new point, detail or aspect. Kashi, the leading commentator on the Torah, provides an insight into understanding the apparent repetition of this theme. He comments that the text seems to be addressing itself to the role and responsibility of the judge, the appointer of the judge and the community. The emphasis in this section is not on the actual judgement or returning an unfair verdict, but on the actual judicial procedure, the conduct of the trial itself.
"There constitutes a warning to the judge that even during the hearing of the litigant's arguments, he should not be gentle with one and harsh with another." "There is an injuction directed to the person invested with the office of appointing judges, lest he should say So-and-So is
It seems to me that during our remaining weeks before Yom Kippur, we as individuals and as a community have an opportunity to prepare for the verdict. A Shabbos where the family sees candles lit or hears the Kiddush sung, a familiar spot in the house to place a "pushke", or the purchasing of a Jewish book for the entire family all seem realistic activities which would help a Jewish family put the observance of Yom Kippur in perspective. If nothing else, it would guarantee each and every one of us an opportunity to be invovled with the process that leads to our judgement on Yom Kippur.

Campus NotesT I The advantages of quiet diplomacy which the AWACS will be equipped. The Keagan Administration genuinely believes that Israel is an indispensable ally and would go to any lengths" to prevent a real or perceived danger to Israel's national security. While it is true that AWACS in the hands of the Saudis could, under unforeseen circumstances, pose a serious threat to Israel's military planning, the issue of the AWACS must not be taken out of context. The sale of the AWACS must be seen as an integral part of the U.S.' new Middle East strategic doctrine, designeS not only to safeguard American interests but to discourage indigenous forces from undermining the U.S. and its allies' national interests. By recognizing this fact, Israel has an excellent opportunity to work closely with the U.S., avoid public confrontations and pursue vigorous but quiet diplomacy to satisfy its legitimate concerns. Although the Reagan Adminstration may not heed Prime Minister Begin's recent call for a U.S.-Israeli defense treaty, under the Reagan presidency, U.S.-Israeli relations can reach heights greater than ever before attained. Now that the first storm over the proposed sale of AWACS to the Saudis has subsided, the Begin government will be well-advised to avoid a new public confrontation which it might lose. President Reagan and his men have demonstrated a remarkable ability to deal with Congress -the budget and tax cuts are very vivid cases in point.

Omahans In Business
Only the naive should assume that the Reagan Administration would submit the proposed sale of AWACS and other sophisticated equipment to Congress unprepared and without virtual guarantee of passage. Israel, which has been elevated by President Reagan to the status of an ally, must now learn to live with the advantages and disadvatages of an alliance with the U.S. It is to Israel's advantage to seek quiet accomodations with the Administration; yet another angry public debate can only encourage Israel's critics in Congress, in the lower echelons of the Administration, and at large in the U.S. Quiet diplomacy to resolve differences of view must always remain the hallmark of a solid and sound alliance.

flight from Soviet oppression has come only after long years of waiting exit visas. Many of these immigrants arrive in America bewildered, cohfu.svd by the unfamiliar environment, and often with unrealistic expectations. They need help in adjusting to a new life in a strange land; many speak no Knglish and need interpreters; their immediate requirements include everything from clothing, to a roof over their heads, to finding work. To aid in this resettlenent process, the National Council of Jewish Women has recently published a manual entitled, "Community Partners: The Staff Volunteer Team in Soviet Jewish Resettlement." The publication, underwritten by a $50,000 grant from the Council of Jewish Federation, is the product of a year of intensive study, field interviews, pilot training and indepth contributuions from Jewish communities throughout the country.
The 140 page manual is intended as an ongoing resource to strengthen the community partership of professional staff of local Federations and their constituent agencies and the volunteers with whom they work to provide resettlement services. Comprehensive in its approach and extremely well-organized, "Community Partners" offers detailed guidelines for maximizing the effectiveness of the VolunteerProfessional resettlement team. Topics range from a description of resettlement activities, and the structuring of staff-volunteer components to increase efficiency, to actual training sessions in teamwork. For further information or to order a copy of the "Community Partners" manual (postage and handling $2), contact Sherry Lee Speal, Coordinator, Program Services, the National Council of Jewish Women, 15 East 26th Street, New York, N.Y. 10010.
