Washington Mission (Continued from Page l) Among the men going to Washington are Jim Sophlr, Steve Silver and Dem Stern. They are interested in the future of Israel and are traveling on the Mission to become more knowledgeable about American policy in the Middle East. "Everything we read In the newspapers or see on television is interpreted by the newsperson," said Steve Stiver, "I want to see if what is said in private by government officials is different from what is in the media. We might get a different view of what is the official United States policy in the Middle East. "I also want to get an insight into what the official United States policy is toward Israel. Hopefully, the briefings will make that policy a little clearer." "When a person writes his congressman be wonders how much impact there is," said Jim Sophir. "There is an advantage in going in force because a group carries a lot of clout. I think a large group like we are going to have wiU make an impression on the people we meet with. "From a personal standpoint my brother, who went on the Mission to Israel, and I feel now is the time in our lives to take a more
active role and do something to help Israel." "I am interested in the United Stales government policy toward Israel," said Don Stem. "I am personally acquainted with Senators Exon, Zorinsky and Boschwitz and Congressman Daub. I want to hear what their positions will be in Congress in the coming months and see if they are different from the administrations view. Plans are being finalized for the trip to Washington. Steve Riekes and Jerry Hoberman met with Cece Zorinsky who is helping to make arrangements in Washington. Also working on the itinerary is Hub Rosenblum. "We owe a thank you to Cece and Ed Zorinsky for their help in making arrangements for speakers and meeting rooms. Our Mission will be successful because of Cece's help." Milt Abrahams will be hosting one of the cocktail hours. Steve Redler is in charge of hotel and meal arrangements. "The remaining openings on the Mission are filling up fast," said. Mr. Hoberman. "I urge anyone who is interested in being part of the Mission to Washington, DC. to call immediately at 3911400."

Nearly 70 yean ago, Leo Frank, president of the Atlanta, Georgia, Lodge of B'nai B'rith, was arrested and charged with the rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl named Mary Phagan. In his book, A Promise to Keep, Nathan C. Belth, offers the following description of the scene in the courtroom: "Mobs choked the area around the courthouse. Men with rafles stood at the open windows, some aimed at the jury, some aimed at the judge. Over and over, louder and louder the men repeated the chant 'Hang the Jew, Hang the Jew*. "The trial was a farce. Prosecuting attorney Dorse? had his case and political ambitions and didn't care bow he won it The mobs kept up their chant'. I can still hear them screaming...through those open windows. "And inside the courtroom, spectators were allowed to give free vent to their anti-Semitism. The jury was threatened with death unless it brought in a verdict of guilty." Details of the conviction, imprisonment, and eventual lynching of Frank-an innocent manare sickening and available to anyone who cares to read about this infamous chapter in Georgia's history. The anti-Semitism tied to the Frank case caused a nationwide emotional upheaval that served to feed the beginning of the AntiDefamation League of B'nai B'rith. Now, almost 70 years after the tragedy, a witness has come forth to establish Frank's innocence. The United States, Georgia, and ADL have come a long way, but anti-Semitism still exists. There is a long way to go. This new evidence on the Frank case is an opportunity for a new generation of Americans to look more closely at the justification for organized and involved..Jewry.

Ruthie Sokolof A Woman of Valor By Phi! Sokolof After 34 years of marriage, I still find it hard to comprehend. 15 major surgeries in o 30 year war with cancer, numerous chemotherapy programs, intense suffering and pain. No one could be so strong. The doctors simply called her remarkable. Her faith never walvcred and through it all she was indomitable uncomplaining, so full of life, so warm, giving hope and encouragement to all who were lucky enough to pass her way. The outpouring of requited love from the whole community, at her death, was a tribute reserved for a special few who touch so many. Kuthic could always find the bright side, making new plans, setting new goals. She counseled many with serious health problems, helping them get the most from each day that God had given them. Her work with handicapped children was yet another testimonial to on ability to reach out, feel, and affectionately give. Her accomplishments at the J.P. Lord School were renown.

I'm talking BIG!' Ready? Ok. here it is: Mollie's next trip to Israel has b e e n s c h e d u l e d ! Departure dale is May 3 and plans ore for a 19 day tour. The agenda calls for 14 days in Israel, which is, of course, plenty of time to sec and do everything. A reliable source said (and who's more reliable than Mol?) that Die best of each of the previous four trips have been programmed into this one, to make it the all time Super Trip. And that isn't all...also scheduled are 2'j days and 3 nights in Rome. No, they don't plan to call on the Pope to give him a "groos" from Omaha, but there arc hopes of contacting the Chief Rabbi
of Rome and meeting as many local Jewish citizens as possible. Nu? I ask you, is this BIG news? One other thing. Molllc says the group will go at a little slower pace than before, but they won't miss anything! Now, all of you people who like to organize your time, start checking the calendar, and making your plans. Call Mollic or Kathy for more details. And for you sons and daughters who can never decide what to give for Mother's day (or an early Father's day) gift, how about this trip? I personally think it's a great idea! Look into it, • it's going to be wonderful. Late news flash! There will be a meeting at 1 p.m. on Thursday at Beth El for all Interested in this trip. The itinerary will be available and all questions about the trip will be answered.

He gave us his version of heroes, pointing out that not all heroes are combat soldiers. He considered, and rightfully so, a handicapped brother a hero, From Earl and the floor came tales of e a r l y Omaha J e w i s h athletes, like Giventer and Elmer Grecnberg, and even though he spoke of others, we consider Bergie to be one of them. Those lads never took any guff from the genuine Jew haters, nor from the idiots who just spouted off. Among o t h e r t a l e s , Charlie Fellman told of a darling humorous incident involving our beloved Rev. Katz. We were regaled by a story of Gary Gerelick, and one of the late Hymie Epstein (whom I knew) who should have been accorded the Medal of Honor, and a story of Col. Mickie Marcus who, for the obvious reason, failed to receive even one star. Finally, Earl stressed the fact that anti-Semitism is not
Senators warn Jews By Joseph Polakoff
WASHINGTON - New York's U.S. Senators Republican Alfonsc D'Amato and Democrat Daniel P. Moynihan — have warned American Jews in recent days to beware of the anti-Semitic climate they generated- by the AWACS debate. While former President Richard Nixon's remarks about Jewish influence opposing the sale of U.S. military equipment to Saudi Arabia entered the public domain immediately, an aspect of the role of former President Gerald Ford in the lobbying for the sole was not made known on the level of a senatorial statement until D'Amato told about it in an interview in the Long Island Jewish World. Ed Martin, press aide to D'Amato, confirmed to this reporter that D'Amato "absolutely", stated that Ford privately had said that the AWACS sale "boiled down to a choice between Begin and Reagan."
Reagan or Vice President Bush "issued a clear public message that the arms sale to Saudi Arabia was not a contest" between Reagan and P r i m e M i n i s t e r Mcnachem Begin "it could have be eased and probably dissipated much of the kind of ill behavior that began to develop," D'Amato said. Speaking in Houston to the United Jewish Appeal's Southwest Region Leadership, Moynihan described the role of antiSemitism in totalitarian practices and told the Jewish leaders' "You — as leaders of your community — have got to summon the courage — and it takes courage — to know what is being said about you — and why." In his speech Houston's Jewish Herald-Voice reported, Moynihan said that the AWACS debate brought "for^Jhe first time in the History of Israel-American relationship the charge of dual loyalty — that it was being less than wholly and fully patriotic as Americans for those who voted" against the arms sale to Saudi Arabia.
' D'Amato'« disclosure was in connection with his Saying he has "never statement that some of the comments that_ generated ' been through as fearsome an anti-Semitism IfTthe debate experience as the AWACS came from Ford. D'Amato sale," Moynihan quoted the said that the anti-Semitic New York Times that said: wave that flowed from the "Those who frighten any debate could have been group of the debate erode the defused had President rights of all. Those who

By Drab* Greeaberg Oh my, where has the time gone? With the long hard winter just barely behind us, ft is hard to believe that Pcsach is less than a month away. To help the community leam more about one of the traditions of Passover, the Jewish Cultural Arts Council will be sponsoring its second Matza Bakery from March 25 through April 4. Under the leadership of committee chairmen, Dorcen and Gary Lcmer, the goal of the Matza Bakery is to provide a "hands on" experience of baking matza. Working with the Lerners on the Matza Bakery Committee are: Ann Broder, Debbie Brown, Renee Beck, Shirley Goodman, Dcnise Greenberg, Shane Kotok and Dora Sheffrcn. Many children and adults will be participating in the Matza Bakery as part of a school group or organization. However, according to tradition, families baked their Matzas for Pesach s s a family unit. It is reported that in many Jewish communities, each householder had Matza baked in the local bakery on a specific date and he supervised the process so as to share in the Mitzv ah. He and his family members would appear before dawn at the bakery in order to participate from beginning to end. Please bring your family members to the JCC to attend the Matza Bakery. Evening hours from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. will be available Sunday through Thursday specifically to accommodate families. the bakery will be held at the JCC and will be open from 9a.m. to9 p.m. There is no charge for admission, however appointments to tour the bakery ere required To reserve time for your family or organization catl: Ann Broder, 3976151; Shane Kotok, 556-2233; or Debbie Brown, 33O-3C99. Here's the answer to last week's Matza Baker's question, "When do we eat Matza on Passover?" Jewish law indicates that one should refrain from eating Matza the day prior to the Seder so that it U enjoyed more during the Seder. At ell other times during Pesach, the eating of Matza is optional. The Matza Baker's question for next week Is: "Why is Chamltz prohibited during Pcsach? "

Enjoyable Fiddler at dinner theater
"Fiddler on the Roof"thc smash musical comedy hit-is certainly an Amcrician stage classic. ' It doesn't matter whether the stage is Broadway, a Civic Center, Coliseum, high school or dinner theater ... the show goes on and on. One of the latest Omaha appearances takes place at the Upstairs Dinner Theater and again-Tcvye, Golde, Tieilel, Yentc, and company thrill their audiences with songs, dances, and spirit. Just sit back, listen and watch as Tradition, Matchmaker, To Life, Miracle of Miracles, Sunrise, Sunset, come to life from the Jewish
heritage we all relate to. It's a wonderful experience, but a bit too long. The show, with intermission, runs about three hours and as good as the production Is, time wears out the body. Otherwise, no complaints. It's on evening to be remembered. Incidentally, Tom Neuman, program director of (he JCC, is organizing a theater party to go to this show. Anyone interested may contact him directly at the JCC, He is not the Tom Neumann who portrays Motel the tailor in the show-although he is well-tailored in his own right. (M.M.)

"Mary, Mary", nonmusical stage hit of the early 1960s has opened at the Firehouse Dinner Theater. This comedy by Jean Kerr ran on Broadway from the spring of 1961 to Dec. 12, 19G4 to join the select handful of piays of American stage history that have had more than 1,500 continuous performances in New York. The plot of "Mary, Mary", in fact, derives from the fact that the heroine is too funny for her husband's taste. At the beginning of the comedy they are already divorced, but the divorce won't become final for another few weeks. The badgered husband has plans all made to remarry as soon as his divorce is complete-and this time to a thoroughly humorless girl who, however, begins to worry him in a different way. she's a health faddist, and she's
also extremely rich, making him wonder if he can support her in the manner to which she's accustomed. Mrs. Kerr arranges the marital dilemma in the end with/ the skill and good humor that made bestsellers of her books "Please Don't'(Cat the Daisies" and "The Snake Has All the Lines". At the Firehouse, Molly Cameron as the central role of Mary, Larry Sullivan will be seen as her husband, Sue Palka as the diet-faddist he almost marries. Others in the cast will be Roy Alan Wilson as a movie star who almost detaches Mary for good from her ego-wounded husband, and Gary Eilts as a tax lawyer. The comedy is directed by Martin McDonald.
