Any discussion about Jerusalem must begin with one plain fact: the division of Jerusalem was the direct result of Arab egression. Except for 10 years between IMS and 1967 Jerusalem had always been united. The artificial partition of the city took place In 1043 when Jordan seized East Jerusalem. Israel's victory In 1907 reunited the city. Today it ii again a unified city whoso redivislon appears
Day School students raise $1100 plus in Work-a-thon By Kllcn Gordman Federation Staff "You should be very proud of what you have accomplished. Giving money for t2dakah Is an important part of being a Jew. You have helped strengthen the Omaha Jewish community," Marshall Kushncr told the students at the Omaha Jewish Day School, "Just as your parents work for the contributions they make, you have worked to contribute to the Federation." Mr. Kushncr,chairman of the 1382 Federation Campaign, visited the Day School to distribute awards in recognition of the students collecting over $1100 for the Federation Campaign. The idea for the Work-athon came about a s i l h e result of the recent allocation to the Day School from the Federation. "We wanted to show our gratitude to the Federation
and share what we could," said Harris Goldstein, director of the Day School. "The individualized curriculum is suited to the Work-a-thon fundraising concept. As the children completed their studies their progress was recorded on a star chart. They received
one star for each completed piece of work." Among the students participating in the Work-athon were David Skid, Ari Rickcs, and Amy Solomon. They said that participating in the Work-a-thon was a worthwhile experience. (Continued on Page 2)

Damaacui Gate at the end of the nineteenth century. The walls of the Old City were built between 1530 and 1539 by the Turkish Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, on foundations atleast 20 centuries old. From generation to generation access was by the Damascus Gate to the north, Zlon Gate to the south, Jaffa Gate to the west and the Lion's Gate to the east. It was through the latter that the Israel Defenie Forces stormed and captured the Old City In 1967.

The rcjectloneat Arab states and their supporters wont no lisa than all of Jerusalem,so Uiat now the issue is sovereignty - Israeli, Arab, or international. Few need to be reminded how thoroughly Jerusalem has permeated Jewish consciousness since the destruction of the Second Temple in 70A.D. Jerusalem has infused
Jewish liturgy and ceremony up to the present. "If I forget thec, 0 Jerusalem" still remains the psalmist's most fervent lyric. Even a contemporary secular Jew who mechanically repeats "Next year in Jerusalem" at the conclusion of the annual Passover feast, cannot escape the proddings of historic memory. Jerusalem is Zioa; the words are interchangeable. (Continued on Page 12)

Politics There is no doubt that American Jewry is concerned about the safety and survivability of Israel. To that end, we work as one to raise money for brad's domestic, non-military needs and to urge our. country's support for the military protection she so desperately seeks. For a relatively small Jewish population to raise over 1600 million yearly for Israel is no small achievement.

Jews are the litmus test By Irving Greesberg Director of the National Jmlih Resource Center The AWACs battle left many Jews politically Ehellshocked and a bit frightened of the future. The political loss was painful. Also, the dual loyalty charges cut Jews deeply-and they worked. The President's Innuendo that Jews represent a foreign government shook loose some Senatorial votes and shook up many Jews. The Administration, sensing Its advantage, sought to turn the situation into a political rout by making the offer of mobile missiles to Jordanians. In politics, particularly, response to defeat is the key to long term success. This can be a-moment of political maturation for the American Jewish community. The primary response must be a massive broadening out of community involvement in politics. This includes major increases in AIPAC, information of Political Action Committees (PAC) end cultivation of alliances on the left and-or the right The primary focus of our work should be on rewarding our friends and punishing our enemies. People who ore powerless or are not used to politics feel that once they lose, they have lost everything. Such people believe that it will be strictly downhill for Jewish political power from now on. People in power know that no one can escape political losses, but if you come back strongly, loss can be turned into gain. The Jewish defeat on the F-15 in 1978 and the community firmness thereafter made the Carter administration try harder tostrikea balance in 1979-thus making the Camp David agreements possible. True, Jews are uncomfortable-even a bit intimidated by the dual loyalty charge. The correct response is to keep up the criticism and demand a real opology-the rhetorically correct words of the President before the National Con'ferencs of Christians and Jews about (he right of all to work to influence policy were inadequate because they were too general. There roust be a direct Presidential statement (Continued on Page 3) • . . . , . • , . • • •
a local market for the wide range of product!. In time of peace, the defense establishment was able to stockpile Its needs. But there is a limit even to stockpiling, and the several large Industrial plants, together with their subsidiary firms, faced a serious problem. Some could shift over to production of civilian consumer goods, and hold their military production lines in readiness in case of need. To close down completely was out of the question, not only because of the thousands of Jobs involved, but also because industrial activities tike these are not easily restarted, at the punch of a button, should national need arise. Thus It was that markets were sought, and found, overseas for the principal Items which Israel was willing to share with the world. Needless to say,there are some things which remain exclusive here. Israel has not always been happy about its customers. When Idi Amin asked us to sell him fighter planes, we refused, he broke all all contact will us. Some Idealists at home have recommendd. that Israel draw a line and refuse to sell to nations that violate human rights. Who is to be the judge? There Is hardly a country in the world that is not accused by another bloc of countries, of violating human rights. Israel, which has been the target of International lynching parties In the U.N., knows how much value can be attached to decisions of the august body. Furthermore, some two thirds of the world Is closed to trade with Israel under any circumstances. The number of potential customers is limited, and many of these today buy from Israel only on condition that the business relationship be kept completely secret Now it can be revealed, of course, that Iran under the Shah, was a major customer. In 1978, for example, one Israel company alone, Saltern, told more that $50,000,000 worth of military merchandise to the Shah. Tb« dosing of thatmartctcausedasevcrejoittotheltraeleconomy. More recently, the New Verb Times has published reports claiming that last year Israel sold 170,000.000 worth of munitions to Ayatollah Khomeini's government In Iran. There have been reports that controversial governments in Latin America equip their armies with Israel's products. An opportunity has always been attached to the very concept of "munitions makers". How ironic that little Israel, which, so ardently yearns for peace, has by circumstances been propelled into that very occupation.
The litmus test (Continued from Page 4) making clear that the President regrets having said something that opened the door to political misuse. Only in this way can the evil genie of delegltlmatlon be put back Ino the bottle. All out organization and fundraising for •our allies combined with the pressure for an apology will be an important message for the Administration, too. It must calculate the political gain and loss in its resort to the tactics of "dual loyalty." If the cost Is too high, it will not use this gambit again. Hie Jewish goal has to be to raise the political cost to the Reagan administration to the point of dropping the tactic.
Mission members "Timesare perilous By Ellen Gordman Federation Stall
By Its excessive tilt to people of privilege and big business (already evidenced in the pro-Saudi foreign policy) the Administration has already lost significant political ground. Indeed, if ths domestic opportunism keeps up, the Reagan administration may yet give conservatism a permanent bad name: the right will be seen c s a form of reckless radicalism or simple profitmongering instead of the moderate, conserving policy orientation it Is at Its best. Such a development would be a genuine .tragedy because American liberalism needs correction. Jews are only now moving toward a more responsible balance of political allcgiences and commitments, i.e., moving beyond simple concentration in the left. Thus, strong Jewish political action now can steer the Administration toward its own best instincts and possibilities. Similarly, Jewish willingness to stand up for the legitimacy of flghtingforour specific interests can open the door to pluralism in foreign policy to match the pluralistic breakthroughs in domestic affairs of the past two decades. Here again, when Jews have the courage to be faithful to their own perceptions and tell their story to the world, they do serve as litmus test to the health of society and they transform and enrich the rest of the world.
"By contrast, AIPAC has a $2 million budget and we have only six lobbyists. Part of my job is to act as your political eyes and ears here but I urge you to help us. We at AIPAC want to work with you to ensure Israel's safety." Mr. Dine also explained that Missions to Washington
We have to reassure ourselves that in this as in so many other matters, Jews are the litmus test. The people of the United States wanted a corrective to liberalism-including a cutback in government and giving greater freedeom of action to the private business Sector. If the new Administration policy turns into a complete sellout of the poor and catering to the wealthy, the American people will not he supportive. (Note, that the new tax law offers an 'average saving of $200. per family earning 910-20,000 a year and an average of $13,130 gain ror families earning {80,000 plus a year.) Americans voted for a more sensitive trade off of environmental concerns and productivity not a cynical probusiness approach that seeka to give carte blanche to pollution. In the same way, Americana voted for a tougher foreign policy, If the Reagan administration simply offers oil-out support for business (as in paying off bank loans but not declaring Poland to be in default) or all-put appeasement of the Saudis, then major components of the American electorate including labor, the churches, blacks, and middle class elements will be on our side because they will be getting sold out.

Editor's note: This li the third article in a series describing the recent Meo'i Mission to Washington, O.C.
"We are facing some of the most perilous times in the history of Israel," Rabbi David Sapersteln, codirector of - Reform Judaism's Religious Action Center, told the 76 participants on the Men's Mission to Washington, D.C. "The fundamental issue is the right of Israel to exist. And Israel will not exist without the billion dollars In old it receives from the United States. "So it b important for Jews to be involved in the political process and let their representatives in Washington know what they think about American support for Israel. Letters sent to Congressmen and Senators are read and counted. So letter writing does have an impact." The Importance of lobbying for Israel was explained to the Mission by Tom Dine, , executive director of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. He said that money available for the proArab lobbying is much greater than the resources available for the pro-Israel lobby. "The American Petroleum Institute, one of the most sophisticated lobbying organizations around, has a budget of 916 million. Every multl: national company has a political action committee and they are all chasing after petro-dollars. And there are 22 Arab Embassy's in Washington which means that there are 22 Arab desks in the State Department.
True, Jews are a bit afrald-partleularly in light of the massive intervention by businesses in AWACs fight on the side of the Administration and of Saudi Arabia and petrodollars. But we are not alone. The same appeasement of the Saudis, the same Ireensltlvity to Jewish concerns shows up in the absence of non-WASP-busincssmen types in the Administration and in the perceived indifference of the Reagan government to all but the concerns of the very wealthy.

are critical to help spread the word about Israel and American foreign policy. Echoing Mr. Dlne's words about the Importance of American Jews speaking out and working politically for Israel was Mark Talisman, director of the Washington Action Office of the Council of Jewish Federations. He told the Missions participants that they do make an impact on government officials. "The government officials you met with are trained to remember what questions you asked in the first place and how you responded to their answers. The reports of the briefings are edited and put into the Secretary's daily briefing book under public opinion. It has happened for every one of the 502 Missions." The message of Tom Dine, Mark Talisman, Minnesota Senator Rudy Boschwitz and Rabbi David Saperstein was that it is important for Jews to become politically active by getting involved In political campaigns, political action committees and to write letters to representatives. "It la important that we Jews stay united," said Senator Boschwitz, when he addressed the Mission participants. "You are really the Jewish lobby. Tho support that you give the State of Israel is an important point that we have
before us in the United States Senate." And in encouraging the Mission participants to become politically active, Mr. Dine quoted Senator Jesse Helms. "Senator Helms says that if you are going to win on issues you have to elect candidates who will vote your way." V

Dearths [ Kadimab has been quiet for the last couple of months, but don't let that fool you. We have been alive and well and are still going strong. At the end of February, Kadimah hosted Midwest Region NCSY's annual spring LTS Shabbaton. This years LTS turned out to be one of the largest and most successful in Midwest history. A big Todah Rabah to chapter president Tracy Bernstein, Regional President Wendy Wdner, and all the Kadimah members who helped make LTS the success it was. Also, a big Todah Rabah to all of the adults who helped with the planning, cooking, driving, chaperoning, and the running of LTS, especially Mrs. Nadoff and Mrs. Wax. Without their help, we would never been able to put on such a fine event. The next week was Beth Israel's annual Purim Carnival. A group of Kadimah and Tovim members helped run the booths, which this year were all new. A big thank you to nil the kids who helped, and a big thank you to all the adults who helped run the booths and the kitchen, especially the Kloppcrs and the Zevitz's. Kadimah has had a wide variety of socials in the last couple of months, on the social, religious and cultural scenes. Some of our social* included: roller skating, ice skating, movie parties, gocarting, putt-putting, and more. We helped run the model seder for the school which, this year, was videotaped for TV, and "everyone learned something. Wo also have youth services every Shabbat morning with a short talk about the week's Parsha, led very effectively by Charlotte Ross, except once a month by Rabbi Gonsher.
On June 10, Kadimah will hold its annual final awards banquet at Beth Israel. "Coketails" will be served at 7, with the dinner and banquet beginning at 7:30. The cost will be around W per person. Upcoming events include Midwest Region's annual summer convention, to be held this year in St. Louis, Mo. from June 17-21. The next week, June 24-28, is National NCSY's annual conventions, to be held for the last time at the Pineview Hotel In the Catskill mountains in South Fallsburg, N.Y. If you are interested in attending either of these events, contact either Tracy Bernstein at 572-80*8, or Howard Wax at 553-4843. Kadimah will be having all sorts of activities this summer, high-lighted by a planned Shabbaton with Dcs Molnra, a special Tisha B'av program. We will also be having our services every Shabbot, with our Torah study sessions. Please come and learn with us.

How it was
...
What do you think - another look at 1852? Still lots of familiar names in those pages of the Jewisa Press editions at that year. LUte these. Mrs. Joe Gus3 announced she was finishing the work on the new Hadassah Yearbook, and urged anyone with an eddrcss or phone change to call her Immediately. (What a good idea!) Ben Shafton was elected President of the B'nai Jacob Adas Yesburon Congregation, and Nathan Nogg became the new president d Beth El. Corporal Irvin Singer was in Omaha on a one week visit from Fort Benjamin Harrison. Mr. and Mrs. Milt Cockin and children, Betty ond Larry, went to Milwaukee for an insurance convention; and Morton Glass and Edward Belgrade were at summer training camp at the Sheppsrd Air Force Base in Texas. They were to return In September. There were lots of Bar Mitrvata, and as usual there's only room for some, tike Peter Brodkey, Howard Upton, Steven Frankd, John Goldner, Martin Sophlr and Neil Steinberg. Ossle KaU was elected president of the French Club at Central High. (Depending on I don't know what, sometimes it w&sspelled Ozzle and sometimes O»le...how come Mrs. NoggT) The ads weren't too czdtifig. but one caught my eye. Brandcls advertised something NEW. Men's raincoats from b r a d . They were priced at 819.65, and apparently were among the first items of that kind to appear In Omaha. A headline on the front page of the Press said In large, imposing letters, "$100,000 is the cash goal for UJA from Omaha". We thought the need was so great then, and It was, end still is!

I still wonder exactly when certain organized groups began to fade from the scene. Croups such as the Junior Hsdassah, Council Letters, tsraelettes, Zoldrttcs, etc., etc. Every year the community welcomed babies, and that year the new arrivals included Sally Cooper, Laurence Goldstrom, Thomas Steinberg, Sally Simon, Jayne Kirshenbaum and Jay Shukcrt. And that's the way it was, 30 years ago.

Jerusalem-then and now (Continued from Page 1) Jeruulem is holy to three religions • but with a dif-
ttnoct. Christians revere the site of the Crucifixion, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and ether sanctuaries; for than Jerusalem UIM* so much a holy city es a city of Holy Places to which they come for worship from all parts of the world and which they devoutly guard. It U not a dwelling place fraught with national meaning. Far Islam, Jerusalem ranis third in the hierarchy of •acred dUes, after Mecca and Medina. No huge Muslim pilgrimages, such ea have mads Mecca and Medina famous, make their way to Jerusalem. A pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina la a religious obligation; a ha] to Jerusalem is a voluntary act of piety.
Despite its sacrcdness Jerusalem was unremittingly bombarded in 19*8 by the Arab Legion. Abba Eban warned the Security Council of the imminent destruction of Jerusalem, including the sanctuaries of the Old City, and reminded the Council that Israel "did yield Jerusalem to the International Community upon which now devolves the responsibility of projecting the dty". The appeal went unanswered. The New City heldout; the Old City with its beleaguered Orthodox Jews, mostly old men, women end children, fell to the Arab legion, as did some suburbs to the north and south of the Old City. The Israel-Jordan Armistice Agreement, signed in Rhodes on April 3,1&49, implemented the partition of the
dty. Israel kept most of the New City while Jordan held Bast Jerusalem, including the Old City. Mount Scopus, site of the Hebrew University and the Hadassah Hospital, was to be an international enclave within the Old Cily and to the great cultural and philanthropic institutions they had built on Mount Scopus amid world acclaim. These terms were grossly flouted. For 19 years Jews could not pray at the Western Well and the university obd hospital stood neglected and unused. This was the position until the d t y was taken by the Israeli army in 1637, with its subsequent unification as the indivisible capital of IsraeJ.
Jews too have holy cities other than Jerusalem; for instance, Hebron, the site of the burial cave of the biblical partiarchs. But only Jerusalem, the city itself, the capital of David, not a particular shrine or site, has remained the focus of national" and religious longing in Jewish history. And no other people, while ruling Jerusalem, chose the city for Its capital. Even under the most adverse circumstances Jews obstinately have maintained a continuous, if often muiuscle, presence in Jerusalem. The city has never "judenrejn". For the last ISO years Jews have constituted the majority of Jerusalem's population. Until the 1660s Jerusalem consisted of the area e n d m d within the Old City walls. The expansion of Jerusalem beyond the dty walls began with the initiative of AngloJewish* philanthropist Sir Moses Montcfiore, who sought to lure Jews out of the crowded, impoverished Jewish quarter. Later, stimulated by Jewish example, increasing numbers of Christiana and Muslim Arabs began to build homes and institutions beyond the ns?row confines of the Old City. The city's development attracted both Jewish and Arab immigrants so that by 1912 the total population counted 70,000, t£ whom 45,000 were Jews. Statistical data leaves no doubt that a major factor in the growth and prospertity of Jeruskem, as of all Palestine, was the impetus given by Jewissh immigration, which in turn stimulated Arab immigration from neighboring lands. By the time the United Nations Partition Resolution was adopted in November 1947, the population of Jerusalem consisted of approximately lOO.OOO Jews and (3,000 Arabs. A clause of the resolution calk for the establishment of Jerusalem as a Corpus Separatum to be administered by the United Nations,
