Marshall Kushner heads 1982 Campaign for Men By EUeo Ctordman Federation Staff Marshall Kusbner is the guy with the great tense of humor who is always ready with a joke or a funny line. But he becomes serious when talking about the 1S32 Federation Campaign. When Mr. Kushner was asked why he Is heading, the Men's Division of the Campaign he answered, "because of the priority of (ho needs and because of my lifelong commitment to Judaism. I grew up in. a home that had a Bluejtox, Many times I put mypenny in the box Instead olbuying bubble g i m '• ) "The Campaign is important because the money collected helps strengthen Omaha Jewish communal life. The funds are used to support the seven departments of the Federation which offer programs and services for people of all ages." "Part of the money is used to help Jews all over the world. Money is sent to Israel to support vital programs. Funds are used

Organizations we support are helping to counteract the growing isolation of Israel in the world community and rising antiSemitism. The Jewish FJgJjgsyjB*,, of Omaha has been raising money for local needs and for Israel since the (urn of the century. Keeping up with changing attitudes about fundralslng, the Campaign has taken a new
direction In the past five years. The base of contributors has been expanded so that everyone In the community has an opportunity to donate to the Campaign. And the days of over solicitation are long past "We don't tell people what to give, but we do tell people to stand up and be counted by contributing to the Campaign," Mr. Kushner said. "Each gift is vital because we don't have the large contributors like New York, Chicago or Los Angeles. We try to contact every Jewish man in Omaha for a contribution no matter the size.1.'

Lawyer praises support of Jews against Nazis 1
By Morris Mallne Jewish communities across the nation rallied to support the Jews of Skokie when Nazis threatened to march in that Illinois city a few years ago, an ADL attorney stated last Sunday at the Marriott Hotel. Jerome H. Torshen, an attorney for ADL in the Goldstein vs. Frank Collins suit, spoke to more than SO ADL-CRC boosters during an orientation and leadership trining seminar. "The defect in the «television program was the failure to recognize the vast support from Jews across the country who rose up to support what was being done in Skctle," be said.
He pointed out that at one time, some 50,000 Jews were preparing to confront the Nazis if they proceeded with.their march. 'The Nazis didn't have a death wish, violence would have occurred," he said. Mr. Torshen said that when the American Civil Liberties Union interpreted the case aa a First Amendment defense, the AOL developed a legal theory as the basis of an injunction to stop the march. The theory, he said, took Into account research that showed a form of pathology in those who have survived various types of Holocausts.
Matza Baker ly Gary Lemer The Omaha Jewish Community is bead over heels about the return of the Matza Bakery held here last spring. Did you know thatptatza originated with the Jewish people as far bacifas the time of Abraham? Hand baked Matzas from those days are essentially unchanged from the Matza we have at present. Came with your family and team to make and bake matza as our ancestors did so many years ago. This year's bakery theme Is "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Matza But...". In keeping with the spirit, we will pose a matza question each week with answers appearing In this column the following week. The Matza Bakery will be hdd at the JCC, March 25 through April 4, 9 am to 9 pm. Jewish schools, synagogues and organizations are scheduled to tour the bakery. 7 to 9 pm daily has been set aside for families to. participate. Some 1-3 pro time slots are also available. Admission is free by appointment. To reserve a lime, call one of the schedule coordinators: Ann Broder, 3376151; Shane Kotok, 556-2233; or Debbie Brown, 330-3699. Mildred at the Jewish Community Center, 334-8200. ext. 71, is also taking reservations. This week's question: "Why is the matza supposed to round rather than the familiar square' variety of today?" There's no need to write or call. The answer will appear in this column next week.

He said these events would include the Nazi death camps, the atomic blasts at Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Bataan Death March. Mr. Torshen said the legal theory described a situation whereby the march would be an "intentional infliction of emotional distress." The ACLU, he said, could not understand who they were representing. "They thought they were defending the First Amendment, but in reality they were defending clients whose aim was to harm our clients." "Ultimately, the ACLU came to ua and said that , they would call off Skokie if we did not oppose their proposal to march against the Blacks in Marquette Park. "We would agree. We would not be a party to inflict anguish on naybody else," Mr. Torshen said. In remarks prepared for the workshop, Sid Osten, chairman, ADL* CRC, said that being Jewish is a full time Job,
especially in these days when every hour brings Joy or sadness-a feeling of ease or tension. "There are times we want to scream with rage at injustices, which are still thrown at us, as Jews and we still feel set apart "We listen to (be normal sounds that go on around us, and at the same time we are finely tuned to the Jewish sounds that only we pick up, and bow we react to these sounds measure our depth of Jewishness.

Care brings Dead Sea to life By Morris Maline The fact that the Dead Sea is not dead was one of many surprises and delights rted by Harold Zabin ^ returning from the Omaha Men's Mission to Israel. Mr. Zabin commented upon his trip during a meeting* of B'nai B'rith Breadbreakers at the Ranch bowl last week. He said that in traveling along the Dead Sea, the Omaha group was advised that Israelis actually wash the land along the banks with fresh water, a process that takes five years.

At the Hills of Fire, he said, they saw the name of Omaha's late Eli Zalkin inscribed in a memorial marker. The Israelis, Mr, Zabin said, have a high national purpose and the military enjoys top morale. Israel is a new country with much of the old clvillzatlon-an cxhilerating country with marked contrasts, he added.

EDITORIAL: Our job too There is discussion on the national scene as to what positions the Jewish community should take toward the Reagan Administration's economic and social policies. Conservatives assert that the Administration's policies deserve support because previous economic plans have not worked. Liberals hold that the policies are contrary to Jewish ideals of social justice and could lead to situations that would endanger Jewish security. While disagreement continues certain recommendations appear to be emerging into a national concensus. This agreement takes place in the realm of working with other minority groups. For example, one of the views expressed by a conservative panel said that Jews must continue to work with Blacks and Hispanics to prevent intergroup tensions that may arise while the nation goes through an economic transition. The liberal panel went a shade further saying that Jews must concern themselves with the growing number of Blacks who are not only unemployed but who are unemployable. The Jewish Community of Omaha should take a good look at this city to see where we as individuals or as a community can provide assistance to the needy. ^ ^ mni&
Sucess story at sea ByCarlAtpert HAIFA — Shortly before the establishment of the State of Israel, the Jewish Agency, the Histsdrui ami the Israel Maritime League put up funds for a shipping line to be known as Zim. The name was derived from the 24th chapter of the Book of Number* where Bilam's blessing of the children of Israel refers to Zta as to a mighty fleet which will serve Israel's ends. Assets of the company wane a half interest in a small secondhand shipTtier* were other small lines, too. The Kedma Palestine line, founded fn 1947, ran its s first passengership, the Kedmah, which brought many new / Immigrants to Israel, but it was Zim which was destined to grow. By 1958 it had 25 ships with a gross tonnage of 130,000. Acknowledgment must be made of the great contribution made by German reparations money to the building of Israel's merchant fleet. The Jews had gone back to the sea in their ancient and almost forgotten tradition. Joseph us tells of the rote of the Jewish navy in the revolt against the Romans. The Talmud mentions more than 200 nautical terms then In use, and quotes halachah decisions pertaining to maritime affairs. As the State grew, Zim's freighters carried cargo to and from Israel, but the pride of the merchant marine were the passenger liners. One of the early, very modest vessels, was the 8.8. Artta. which carried Immigrants to Israel, among them the Alpert family. Later there were the 8.8. Israel, the 8.8. Zloa, the luxury liner Tbeodor Ilenl and the Jerusalem, but the crowning glory was the B.8. SitSom. flagship of the line, there were dreams of competing with the Cunard line, and of the blue and white flag effecting a commercial conquest of the high seas. However in the 1950s the bottom dropped out of ocean travel. The ships simply could not compete with fast planes, and passenger tines everywhere went bankrupt. Zim's decision was a difficult one to make, tor national pride and prestige were at stake. Still, losses had to be cut, and the management courageously decided to get out of the passenger business. The Eastern was sold to a German company. At the time it seemed like a disastrous setback,
In >972 Zim daringly became a pioneer in the new world of container shipping. There were other Israel lines as well. El Yam and the Maritime Fruit Carriers, among others, but it was Zlm which plunged ahead with vision and commercial acumen. With little publicity, and almost scent acknowledgment even at home, Zim is today one of the 10 largest shipping companies in the world, and second in the world in con-, lalncr transport, It operates over 100 ships with a total tonnage of more that two millron. It has wide influence in shipping circles because of interlocking relationships through affiliates and sister companies which It controls, more than 60 separate concerns in fill. Despite hard times for the world-wide shipping industry, Zim showed a profit (or 1631, increasing Us turnover more than 10 percent over the previous year, to a total of more than $750,000. It is an Israel line, but it serves more than Israel. It is an international company in every sense of the word, carrying cargoes wherever there is a market for its services, and wherever its flag is permitted. Last year its freighters, tankers, bulk carriers and container ships called at some 230 ports in every part of the world. Now more ships h a w been ordered and will soon be launched to augment Zim's shipping service. Today the company is owned SO percent by the Israel Corp., 40 percent by the Government of Israel and 10 percent by the Ilistadrut. Foreign hands man the ships as well as Israelis, and there is a natural conflict between, on the one hand, the desire of the line managers to operate economically so that they can compete successfully with other lines, and on the other hand, the demand of the crews for higher wages. In recent years some hundreds of new immigrants to Israel from both the West and from the Eastern Bloc, with' qualifications as trained officers, have been absorbed into Israel's merchant marine. Israel's Naval Academy trains domestic personnel for skilled posts on the ships. Much is made of Israel's achievements in agriculture, in industry and in science. Note should be taken as well of the remarkable success on the high seas as weU.

Editor** Notes: The Jewisb Press b u received rtqacsti to reprint sa article which Rabbi Myer S. Kripke, rabbi —emeritus of BeUi El Syntgogoe, published recently ta (be Omasa World Herald. With Rabbi Kripke'* pennUsba, the article is a* follows: By MyerS. Kripke Aida Dajani (interviewed by Lou Gerdes "But I Will Always Call It Palestine" in the Weekend Focus Feb. 7) Is probably a charming woman. She said she would like Americans to hear a side of the Palestinian story they seldom hear. But we have beard it all before, many times, a is the same old story, deceiving partly by outright misstatement, partly by innuendo, partly by clever omission. I can readily accept that in fact she may long for life in the Palestine that was. But Arab nations and their armies have blown that Palestine from the face of the globe. If Mrs. Dajani has a just complaint — and I think she has — it is against the Arab nations, including the ones where she lived and the one wfwre she lives.
But first an example or two of outright misstatemcKts. She says that only 3 percent of Arabs sold land to Jews. I don't Know. Perhaps only 3 percent owned any land and the rest were tenant-farmer-serfs. In any case, the facts lire that in la-ad the land Jews have was bought, inch by inch, from Arabs, and usually at outrageously high prices. Two exceptions: Government land, acquired by Israel from the British, who acquired it from the Turks, and the property of Arabs who, like Mrs. Dajani, left the land, property now scrupulously cared for by the Israel government. A second example is her astonishing remark about who was armed in 1948 and who disarmed by the British. It was quite the other way round Jewish Palestinians were systematically disarmed by the British (possessing any weapon could, and did, bring the death penalty), but Arab Palestinians were undisturbed by the British, who knew that gunrunning from the surrounding Arab countries was constant and uncontrollable.
An example of deception by innuendo Is Mrs. Dajani's crass statement about divisions between Jews from the West and those from the Middle Eastern lands. It is quite (Founded Iri 1923) true that there are differences. But they ore the differences Published weekly on Friday between communities educated and attuned to Western By the Jewish Federation of Omaha cultures, on the one hand, and those from culturally backOuw Noflg Robert Poppcnheimcf ward countries.

Furthermore, from IMS to 19G7, the lla&hemUe Kingdom of Jordan occupied this area continuously. It was Jordanian occupation that prevented the rise of a West Bank Arab Palestinian state. There would be no single Arab "refugee", not one, were it not for invasion of Arab armies in 1M8, in 1907, and in 1973. H Israel) Jews live In places once familiar to Mrs. Dajani, she must remind herself and her American readers that she would be living there still had it not been for invading Arab armies. The situation is not much different today. Israel will not permit the establishment of an independent West Bank Arab Palestine because of the publicly proclaimed and endlessly repeated pledge of the PLO and other Arab terrorists that such a state would be used primarily as a base of operations against Israel—tordestroy It. Israelis can hardly be expected to aid in Installing neighbors next door who are pubUcly and permanently pledged to murder them. The answer to Mr. Gerdes' question about peace in the area has relatively little to do with Israel. If Israel were to disappear overnight, what effect would that have on the hostility between Jordan and Syria, Syria and Iraq, South Yemen and Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Morocco, Egypt and Jibya, or the destruction of Lebanon by Syria and the PLO? Or the war between Iraq and Iran? Or the fratricidal war of Lebanese Muslims against Lebanese Christians? And so far as the confrontation between the "Arab nation" and Israel is concerned, the Palestine problem Is a mere nothing In comparison with the constant, overweening, ail-embracing factor, the one carefully concealed by Mrs. Dajani and other Arab propagandists: They care much less about Arab Palestinians than they do about their cherished hope to destroy Israel. If they would accept, as Egypt has, the obvious fact that Israel Is, that it Is a living, producing, advanced democracy, an Independent country -r then at least that part of the Middle East turmoil would be gone. The inter-Arab hostilities, deepseated and explosive, are another matter. The obsession with Israel is a cover-up, clever perhaps but still a cover-up, an attempt to bide the festering sores of Arab hatred of Arab. And one more word for Mrs. Dajani: Perhaps, indeed, her ancestry in Palestine goes back all (he way to the Muslim invasion, more than a thousand years. But Eban and Meir and Begin, whom she taunU, are the descendants of David, who made 8 JebusUe village called Jebus into the Holy City of Jerusalem about 1,700 years before the Muslims came.

\Letter to the Editor \ BBYO leaders visit Washington TtlBeEdtter: Hits letter is written In response to your Feb. 5 editorial dealing with tbe lack of community services in today's youth groups. I feel that the main problem with the youtlxgroupa is that what is done Is not publicized. Whether It Is the faUt of the youth for not ktting the public know what is being done Is not the question. The question is, however, are things being done? My answer to you and to your readers, the members of our Jewish community Is yes. Let the evidence speak for Itself. Enclosed you will find a letter addressed to the Temple Israel Youth Group (OTYG) from the Executive Director of the Jewish Family Service in recognition of our donation of food to a needy Jewish family during Chanukab. OTYGfilsoholds fundraisers, not for ourselves, but for the World Hunger Fund, a National Federation of Temple Youth International project. OTYG is also on call to serve our Temple in whatever capacity we are needed. In no way am I say Ing we ore perfect; I wQl be the first to admit we are socially and athletically minded, but I hope you see that we try to fulfill all of our commitment, those for ourselves as well as those for our community. Admittedly, we do not divide our time equally between what we do for otuclves and for our community, but, no matter what our group does, we do it as a group, a group of Jewish youths, the future leadership of our community, and, after all, isn't that what is most important?

After visiting the old executive office building, the group attended a briefing on Middle East policies. After a speech and then the answering of questions, Dave said, "It was less than expected". Next, some of the group attended a vigil in
front of the Soviet Union embassy. This was to protest the holding of Ida Nudel, who has been trying to get to the U.S. for years. Becky said, "There has been a vigil everyday for the past three years." Later that day they all went to the Congressional building and then to the State Department building to hear different briefings on current Issues, and policy. After that third conference Dave said, "I was 'definitely disappointed with the responses to our questions made by the administration
spokesmen." That night everyone Was taken to the BBYO Archives. This room had information dating back to 1024 when BBYO was started. Dave said, "I saw the first scrapbook from the first AZA Sweetheart Dance.",''It was very interesting." Dave also made copies of documents to bring back to his chapter. Thursday, after one more meeting and a final "Good and Welfare", Dave and Becky returned home only to go to school the next day and have make-up homework to do.

By Henry Stern % Our Feb. 2 review of our TnctUng was, apparently, lost, so here we are at the Feb. 16 get together. I The early birds who are flocking to our dUcuaalon group .were, once again, fortunate to hear an Inspiring address from Rabbi Nodoff, who Is to knowledgeable on Jewish and Mid-East affairs. We should know that vandalism against synagogues in the U.S. hos increased 192 percent, but, hear this, it hos also increased against the churches. What docs It ail mean? , From the questions he fielded, and from his own knowledge, he let us know that there are two kinds of snti-scmitism, the popular and the situation. Violence /and vandalim arc one, and .political situation and oil arc Die other. The discussion then centered around the arms offer to Jordan, and the explanation from Weinberger, (and once an for all, .Weinberger Is not Jewish) Is that Jordan did not ask for arms, but, between us, it Is o ploy to serve on Arab cause. Anyhow, how you lode at it, we are the scapegoats, especially in communltst Poland. Into the social hall for our luncheon, and this time we
had a buffet luncheon (and I live it) and MoUie and her ' gals worked from 8 and on to prepare it for us. Thanks girls. President Morrie Katz was given a gift and salutation from the A. D. L. for services to Omaha and American Jewry, and well deserved, Morrie. The Motzi was by Bogle, and the Bcnschen by Charlie Fcllman, and a, gcdiUah (Blessing) on both'of you. Of course, the sad moment came when we rose in memory of our late V. P. Harold Siegel, and this lovable man will be in-'. scribed in our memories. One of today's guest was Yale HaJpcrin, the guest of ' Alfred Frank, and Yale not only became a Life Member, but he made a nice contribution to the Mltzvah box. Welcome, Yale. Another new member, Mike Orlofski, today, came to us after a three week siege in the hospital from a coronary. Mike, as you know, b my and your barber at 49th & Dodge.

Joe tells us that our new police chief, Bob Wadmnn of Salt Lake City, is an excellent choice. Wadman was deputy commissioner of the Department of Safety for Utah. He has a Bachelor's and a Master's in police law enforcement, and a doctorate going on 20 hours in sociology. Next get together at Beth Israel, March 2, and Earl Siegel will chair the discussion.

Fellman sees jobs as campaign issue By Morris Malice Jobs will be the main Issue In the Second District Congressional Campaign Candidate Richard Fellman told a group of weekly newspaper editors last week. The Reagan Administration has forgotten about the fanner and has assumed that inflation could be solved "on the backs of the working man," Mr. Fdlman said. He explained that with the recession deepening and unemployment rising and the passage of a rich man's tax bill "we now have an economy where the wealthy are buying Cadillacs and Continentals and the working people can't afford to buy Fords and Chevya." He l a b e l e d Congressman Hal Daub a "rubber stamp Congressman" who cupported the President 65
percent of the time and voted against the farm bill at the last mlnute^witbout' making any attempt to fight for a favorable till from the beginning. If elected, Mr. Fellman said he would encourage the holding back of increases in defense spending, hold back oh (he tax benefits, particularly with the "excessive gains" dished out to major corporations. Congressman Daub has not suggested these Ideas, he said, adding that the Congressman has followed President Reagan and Budget Director David Stockman down the line ID a disastrous program." Mr. Fellman predicted that the New Federalism would mean increased sales tax, increased real estate taxes on the local level. "And there's nothing new about that," he said.

Men's Mission meets Rabin (Continued from Page 1) Mr. Rabin said that it is in Israel's best interests for settlers to leave the Sinai. Giving up the Sinai is a gamble but he believes it is worth the risk to honor tbe peace treaty * with EgyptRabin also believes that Israel should not leave the Golan Heights because its possession Is necessary for security. But the Golan area includes 1000 square miles and there could be negotiation about giving back: some of the land.
Kushner leads Men's Campaign (Continued from Page 1) we can mine for Campaign leadership for years to come," said Mr. Kushner. "Through the Missions to Israel and Washington, D.C. we hope to educate the men and let them experience first hand the needs of Israel and Its people." From Feb. 7 to 11, 35 men were in Israel. They traveled through the entire country meeting with people and hearing about tbe need for continual American financial support. A Mission to Washington, D.C. is planned for April 27 and 28. Participants will be briefed by American government' officials and meet with professionals from Jewish organizations. "We are faced with the toughest Campaign we've ever had ... again," said Mr. Kushner Jokingly. "Each year, we are faced with obstacles that we think will hurt our fundraising efforts.

dication of the financial strength of our community. I believe we will be able to meet our goal this year and provide for our local needs and the needs of Jews in Israel and the world."
On the question of public relations, Rabin said that Israel Is doing everything it can to explain its position but nobody wants to listen. One of the men traveling to Israel for the first time was Paul Cohen, Federation president. The trip gave him an appreciation for the dedication of people who inhabit the land. "What the people accomplish with limited resources and the odds against them is amazing," said Mr. Cohen. "The people have a common goal which is the continuation of tbe state of Israel." One of the purposes of the trip was to show how the money from America Is used In Israel. The men visited an absorption center which receives
money from the Agency and a Moshst whose land was purchased through the Jewlgfj Agency. The Agency money comes from the; United Jewish Appeal (UJA) which receives its funds from Federations throughout the United States Including Omaha. "Money sent to Israel cannot be used to buy arms according to Use United States government restrictions," said Mr. Cohen. "So money donated to the UJA and Jhen sent to the Jewish Agency Is used to pay for variety of humanitarian programs. Besides unique programs like absorption centers and reclamation of the desert, the humanitarian program needs in Israel are much like those In Omaha. Money Is spent for education, for youth and for the aged."
