Kosher meals The Bureau for the Aging, In conjuction with the Eastern Nebraska Office on Aging and the National Council of Jewish Women, is providing frozen kosher meals to the Jewish elderly in Omaha. - Requirements for the kosher meals programs are: a person be 60 years of age or older, homebound, physically or mentally unable to cook, and have no relatives or friends who can come in regularly to prepare o meal. A Bureau for the Aging representative makes a personal visit to make this • determination. There arc no income eligibility criteria. The Bureau suggests a contribution of $1 per meal or whatever a client can afford. The meals arc prepared at the Dr. Sher Home at 4801 N. 52 street and delivered weekly by volunteers from the National Council of Jewish Women. These volunteers also spend tune

.socializing with the clients served. All meals supply at least one third, of the required dietary allowance (RDA) for persons over 60. This includes three ounces of protein, a cup of vegetable and fruit, dessert, bread product and milk. Menus ore planned on a 21 day rotation to ensure variety; low salt, low sugar or bland diets ore provided upon a physician's recommendation. Enough meals are delivered for a seven day period. Instructions for preparation are Included. It is felt that benefits of this kosher meal program include: helping people remain in their own homes as long as possible, maintaining nutritional status, and keeping tabs on the well being of those in the program. Information on the Meals On Wheels Program can be obtained by calling Scth D. Levy, director, of Social Services for the Bureau at 451-7220.

Bikur Chollm aids new home

Continued from Page I aware that a strategically placed phone call can bring aid..quietly and quickly! When the Dr. Shcr Home for the Aged became a reality in 1!«G. the ladies of the Bikur Chollm concentrated some of their efforts on serving a s something of an auxiliary. They managed, through fundraistng events of every description, to provide such significant gifts a s the elevator, the beauty shop, the small dining room, the basement kitchen, special freezers and food blenders to name only a few. In more recent years, dishes for Passover were replaced, a fancy multiple slice toaster was provided, and not long ago, a special scale for wheelchair patients was purchased—all with Bikur Cholim money. Today, this organization still exists, though it is not notkably tyzttve. Probably t h e most n o t e w o r t h y program is the on-going occupational therapy group, which meets every Thursday afternoon. Led by Mary Wine, (with many faithful helpers through the years) and Ida Potash, interested Sher residents knit, sew, quill, hook, crochet, and of course, socialize.

Probably because the Society has been in existence for such a long time, many people still recognize the name, and every so often, s o m e b e n e v o l e n t soul remembers when writing a will. I/Ctters from.lawyers appear from time to time, informing the officers of Bikur Cholim that a bequest has been made, and will be forthcoming. These have come from former Omahans or their families, from every part of the country. In addition, sums which were originally accumulated from fund-raising projects, small gifts and donations, and dues have been carefully banked to bring back a return, so that even though this organization doesn't meet regularly, it is olive and well. And proudly able, once again, to present a handsome check t o the community, to be used for the new Rose Dlumkin nursing home. Actor Klliot Gould was inaugurated as president oi the Sobra Society, an honor group of the new leadership division of the Israel tiond Organization, at a dinner Nov. 21 »t the Sheraton (>ntrc hotel here. At his installation he received the Israel Peace. Medal.

The controversy Is still being debated. The application of Jewish Law (Halakah) In such activities is becoming so commonplac and so complex that the Halakah Is being placed onto computers for cosier access/ Judge Adler said.

Ask not, give Our Jewish youth groups have a unique opportunity to accomplish meaningful goals. They have funding from the community, support of their parents, and competent advisors. Yet, they seem to fall short in fulfilling basic obligations of a Jewish Youth Group. . We see brief involvement with synagogues, an occasional visit to the Dr. Sher Home, an annual appearance on a Telethon and little else. On the flip side, we see much emphasis on parties, movies, athletics, and self-serving fund raising. Perhaps we expect too much from our children? Are we wrong in expecting that they address themselves to the Jewish obligation of helping one's fellow man? This has been a real cold winter so far and many Omahans are in need. The land of Israel certainly requires consideration. The list of opportunities for service is infinite. Isn't it time our youth responded in Kennedy-like fashion: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Morris Mallne

Biggest mystery of the year HAIFA — More than half a year later it U still a mystery, and the average Israeli's attitude toward it is determined to a large extent by his political leanings. On June 28,1931, Jacob Meridor, addressing a meeting in Tel Aviv, announced that scientists under h!s patronage bad achieved a major breakthrough in solving the energy crisis. "Prom this moment on Israel will have a different future," he confidently declared. Later he spelled out some sketchy details: "The greatest technological invention since the wheel" consisted of converting plant matter into liquid fuel. Solar energy could do the trick. When the process went into large scale production, Meridor exvlaimed, the Arabs would have "nothingtodo with their oil but drink It!" Meridor, a veteran of Menachem Beglns's underground movement, and now a wealthy shipping magnate, had emerged as a political personality in the Herat Party, liewas a Ufcud Knesset member and subsequently was named by Begin as a member of his Cabinet. Skeptics were quick to point out that the startling announcement bad been made only four days before the national elections, and seemed intended to build up a fever of support among the electorate. Election day came and went. The opposition challenged Meridor to reveal full details of his secret, and make it available to help solve Israel's energy problem. He insisted on the accuracy of his revelation, but declared that more time was needed to move the invention from the pilot plant to the commercial stage. His critics did not let up. Week after week, for months on end, hostile columnists in the press maintained a countdown, very much like counting the days of the Omer • when would Meridor provide details?

Palestinian Myths '

ByMosbeDecter . '^Near East Report Two powerful myths have overwhelmed, and come to dominate, the Western consciousness (including that of many Jews) in recent decades and, tragically, constitute the framework of received political wisdom surrounding the negotiations between Israel and Egypt on autonomy for the Arabs who inhabit Judea and Samaria. The first myth is that the West Bank - as Judea and Samaria are called in the common parlance - is territory that once rightfully belonged to the Hashemite Kingdom of \ Jordan but was conquered by Israel in 1967 and has been \occupled by it ever since. ^T^esecond myth is that there exists no Arab homeland in which the, Arabs of Judea and Samaria may exerdse "self-determination," and that such a land must be wrested from Israel and from territory it controls • a land named "Palestine," which is taken to be the authentic historical

The Jewish Press

national homeland of the Arabs of Judea and Samaria. It is true that a resolution of the Palestinian Arab issue is crucial to the problem of peace between Israel and the Arab states. (That Issue Is, of course, not the central one - which is the Intransigent Arab refusal to accept the political, moral, historical legitimacy of a Jewish state in Palestine.) But myths such as these will never serve as the basis for a stable peace, However potent their sway, these myths must be resisted by a determined resort to the facts of history. Well examine the first myth this week. The European powers that emerged victorious from World War I undertook to break up and distribute the lands of the defeated Ottoman Turkish Empire. Two claimants arose to those territories - and were recognized as legitimate in international law on the basis of fundamental considerations of politics, geography, demography, culture and historical justice. They were: The Arab nation and the Jewish people. The Arab claim was satisfied to such an extent that a dozen Arab states were created in the aftermath of that War (and eight more after World War II.)

Agroupof scientists issued a statement to the effect that the psrtisan fightcr-tndustriallst-politlclan did not know what he was talking about. He was either deliberately footing the people, or had been naively led astray by pseudo scientists, they said. More than half a year later it is still a mystery, but some are beginning to have second thoughts. This may not be a joke or a political ploy after all. One scientist. Prof. Israel linn, without political motivation, castigated those of his colleagues who had hastened to denounce Meridor on the basis of • no Information. Is that the scientific way of arriving at conclusions? he asked. He revealed that 300 Technion scientists and engineers had refused to sign the early denunciation for that reason, linn referred to the dangers of industrial espionage, and the need to keep the details under wraps until wide patents had been recorded. Ykosef Doriel, an engineer and former assistant to the Transport Minister, lifted a confer of the veil and reported that the breakthrough was the development of a high efficiency beat pump, much better than any hitherto in use, thanks to a new type of liquid gas the Israeli scientists are using. Doriel said the big oil companies would stop at nothing to prevent the development of alternatives to oil, and he advised Mcrior's team to remain completely anonymous to ensure their safety. Some public figures continue to deride Mcridor's claim as bombastic nonsense, and declare they will cat their hats if anything ever comes of it. Others, with scientific reserve, are not as certain, and are willing to suspend judgement until all the facts are in. They appreciate the reasons for secrecy at this stage. Is there anything to it? This much Is certain*, the critics will not let Meridor off the hook, and an awful lot of energy is being consumed just to keep the issue alive here.

j Letters to The Editor \ To the Editor: I wouldn't take the world for my copy of "Our Story." It brought many tears and much nostalgia to my heart. My beloved late father and my dear uncles Jacob and Peter Goodblndcr comprised the "Goodblnder brothers." They had life-time memberships in B'nai Israel (Rushlsha Shul). My most beloved mother had life-time membership at B'nai Jacob, the Kupulicr Shul at 24th and Nicholas Street. The reason for my mother going to the Kupulier Shul was the distance to walk factor as my mom was very "frum: Orthodox Jewish." Then, September 10,1039,1 was married in Adas Ycahuren Shul at 25th and Scward Street by the late Rabbi N. Feldman. Talk about nostalgia, memories I Ann Goodblndf r Stroud

The State of the Center-an Interview with Center Executive Steven Rod

Steven Rod JP: After listening to Mr. Reagan's speech last week, we thought it would be a good idea to ipeak with you as you have completed your first full year on the job! SR: Well, I'm delighted. There's bees so much that has happened this year. What would you lite to know? JP: You Just returned from a meeting with 30 other JCC Executives from cities the size of Omaha...is that right! SR: It was a five day meeting, held annually, call the Intermediate City Center Executive Seminar sponsored by JWB, our national "parent" organization. JP: Now that you've been "on board" for a year, how would you compare us to these other JCCs which are denjograpfalcaDy similar to ours! SR: Well, the most ob-

vious is the quality of our physical plant and professional staff. Although we know that a Jewish Community Center is more than just a building, we can be very proud of our facilities in Omaha...they were designed well and allow for much flexibility and growth. Most of these other cities have older buildings which do not reflect the potential usage we have here in Omaha. I also learned that we are fortunate to have the quality of professional staff that we have planning and carrying out our hundreds of programs. Staff turnover b a problem facing all JCCs. and I am proud of the people we recently hired, and as well as their "senior colleagues."

around the country. As you know, in 1532, we are working with a 'JCC operating budget which was gone over with a "fine tooth comb" by both the JCC Board and the Federation's Budget committee. We are making every attempt to maximize income and minimize expense. 1 am particularly proud of our new energy saving system recently Installed, and guaranteed by the vendor to cave a minimum of $13,500 annually In our expenses for heating, lighting and cooling of 110,000 square foot building. JP: What do you sec as the greatest challangcs facing you in 3832? SR: We spent a great deal of tune at our Executive Seminar learning about "Corporate Strategic Planning" and how It applies to the JCCs. I believe I have to work closely with the Board of Directors to moke long range plans for our corporation, so to speak. We need to evaluate where we arc now with programs and services to determine how to best proceed over the next few years.

to give me a whole list of rationalizations as to why they're not members of the "J". Well, I must tell you Uiat it's these people who we must plan for immediately and in the future. The JCC belongs to every Jew in the community, and it i s essential that every Jew feels a commitment to belong to the "J". JP: Have you made any progress in this area yet? , SR: Yes. In fact, wehave received several written kudos as well as many verbal commendations from some of these people who have joined the "J" In January after having learned about some of our concerns for serving them as members. I feel pleased that the paths we arc taking ore making inroads to serving all of Omaha's £500 Jews.

JP: Do you have any final comment for us on your first year? SR: If I can leave your readers with one thought, it would be that I cannot be the chief executive of the JCC without the benefit of constant feedback, suggestions and criticism from all of your readers...both "J" JP: Can you give us an members and others, and example? perhaps someday soon, each SR: Certainly, there is a of your readers will become segment of the Jewish 19S2 members of (heir JP: Did you and your community which I've met Omaha Jewish Community cotlegues talk about money? during my first year as Center I ER: Money is a problem Executive Director which throughout the non-profit told me (hat I have "a big job JP: Thank you very much community, and has hit hard to do to make the Center for your time. at many of our sister JCCs better," and then proceeded SR: You're welcome.

Center benefits Full use of and access to all of the Center's indoor and outdoor facilities....

February 1982

Visit to the JCC brings surprises I had not been to the Omaha Jewish Community Center in more than a year...it's funny how you Just never get a chance to get up there when you're not a member. We were visiting my friends the Cohens, and they were just making out their check for $275, In order to pay their dues for 1282. Carol was making the point that for $5.29 per week, the five of them were able to have full use of the facilities for a whole year! I She felt it was worth iusl considering the wanner months, utilizing the outdoor pool and tennis courts. Alan felt that even the weeks when they go for only one swim in the middle of the winter, it was even more economical than taking the kids for Ice cream sundaes., and so much more healthy!!! They had rrie convinced that I should ot least check il out...l don't even remember the specific reasons I resigned In 1880. I was really surprised when I visited the Center with Carol and Alan..things were' much nicer than we had remembered. The building is very clean, and the facilities well maintained. It was moving for me to see all of the portraits In the Centers Art Gallery., although we've lived In Omaha for 15 years, these pictures of Omaha's pioneer families really made me feel I belonged to a special Jewish community. I was very happy to find a copy of "Our Story" for 16 in the library. There was a rehearsal in the theater, and t sat and watched il for a few minutes...what great fun! The ballet classes in the dance studio were fascinating...I didn't think kids that age could develop such skills! The groups of children and teens meeting in the various rooms and lounges made me realize that this building Is truley a Center for the Jewish community; my kids immediately recognized some friends of theirs. The gymnasium and racquetball courts were noisy wlih activity. The indoor pool looked very inviting, a little touch of "summer" in this awful winter we've been having. I guess that's what friends are for. .Carol and Alan introduced me to Steven Rod, the Center's executive director, who explained to me a number of the changes which had taken place In the last year. After some discussion, we decided to join on the spot. Where else can you get all of this for $5.29 a week AND be ' part of the finest JCC In the United States? Why don't you find out for yourself today???

Energy audits are performed by specialists. RCS auditors are trained in home energy conservation. They can explain practices and measures which will improve the energy efficiency of your home. If you request an audit, the auditor will inspect yourjhpme and identify the measures that will be most economical for you. Your auditor will estimate the cost of installing these measures and the energy savings that can result. All this will be explained to you in factual, down-to-earth terms.. In addition, your auditor will identify and explain low-cost or no-cost practices you can adopt in your home to save energy.

Applications for audits will be by schedule. Audits are being offered by both OPPD and MUD to all residential customers. So audits can be performed as promptly as requested. Energy Audit Request Forms are being mailed to groups of customers on a schedule based on the rate of response. More than 50,000 customersin this area have received the forms, and the program is continuing, Under the current RCS program, every qualifying household in this area will have received an Audit Request Form by spring of 1983. If you have not yet received your Audit Request Form, be .patient, it is coming. For $15 you can receive an RCS audit from any covered utility which provides energy to you. If you request an RCS audit from more than one utility, you will be billed for the total cost of the second audit.

Home energy audit is key to services. Complete information about the RCS program is included in the Audit Request Form mailing. You may apply for an audit when you receive your Audit Request Form in the mail. Once your audit has been completed, all the other services in the program are available as you request them.

If you have questions about the program, call 554-7899 at MUD or 536-4692 at OPPD. OMAHA , PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT'

Still looking in on the happenings of 23 yean ago. I find tome more Bar Mitzvahs of note. Howard Weiner come in from VUlisca, Iowa for bis celebration. Alan Cohen, however wes alrecdy here when it was his turn, as was Alan Ron. More teenage news came with the election of Maxine Zwdback as AZA No. 1 Sweetheart, and the college crowd was beard from when Fred Simon played in "Mr. Roberts" at the University of Pennsylvania. Theengagement of Joan Wiseman and Ben Kaiman was announced, also that of Judy Krentz and Jack Baker. Among the weddings I found a lovely bridal photo with the details of the Gwen Shapiro • Ray Prcd marriage, Itte story broke on the Israel Bond Dinner ($3.23 per person) where the honored guest was to be Eleanor Roosevelt. A later story carried reports of more than $30,000 worth of bonds sold at the affair. You could buy a brand new ranch style house in Dillons Fairacres for as low as $31,500, and the Colony Club advertised a new addition to the menu...Cantonese appetizers. (As I recall, they weren't bad!) The Jewish Community Center had classes at noon for business men interested in judo or basketball, and a political ad ran asking all to vote for the proposed new Post Office-Federal Building. Under a national "Jews in Sports" caption, there was a story about'a 14-year-old Jewish boy named Bobby Fischer who won the U.S. Open Chess Tournament. His career certainly flourished after that. A small ad ran one Friday in the Press, asking for the return of the maroon umbrella that was taken after the Council meeting at the JCC. One last item. In what Ford must have thought was cute and clever, an announcement was printed, hailing the birth of The Edsel, to the Ford Motor Company of Dearborn, Michigan. And that's the way it was, 25 years ago. Mrs. I. Schwartz called my attention to a recent error. Dr. Sher recited the Kiddush at the first seder in the new Shcr Home In 1M7, not 1957. Thank you, Mrs. Schwartz.
