Women's Campaign leaders plan special events It's been said there's nothing new under the sun, but how about a new twist to a familiar formula? In past years, the Women's Campaign has organized a community wide luncheon . . . a tremendous effort to gather all Jewish women of Omaha together in one place at one time. This year will be different. Bach division will have its own event. Invited guests will be the women whose campaign gift matches the monetary category. For example, if Mrs. Soandso pledges $250, sbtt will be invited to the affair given by the Lifesavcr* Division, which includes gifts from $200 to $364. Or, if she gives $75, she will he asked to attend the Primary Division function. This group is identified with the $50 to $99 gifts. A unique multi-divinion invitation will toon be in the mail. The recipients will readily identify their category. It should be noted; however, that anybody who would prefer to attend the party of a greater monetary division, need only increase her gift to match the number*. No matter to which group a woman belong*, nhe will be asked to "Give until it feels good". Caryl Greenberg, chairman of the 19S3 Women's Campaign nddit, "A U.IA npeakcr will appear at each event, and everyone should know that great excitement and enthusiasm went into all the plans.

UJA Israel Special Fund: One hundred and fifteen old age homes serve 8,000 senior citizens. Eighty-five of the homes serve the frail and infirm; 30 serve the chronically ill. Two thousand four hundred of the 8,000 residents of these homes cannot support themselves, and rely partially or wholly on subsidies. Subsidies are determined by a means test for the applicant and the applicant's children. In the coming fiscal year, subsidies for the elderly in homes will total $5 million. In 16 of these
homes, nor* Uuui 90 percent of the resident* are subsidized. The homes are located in towns and cities throughout Israel. Residents receive meals, general and medical care. If enough money is not raised through contributions to the Israel Special Fund, thousands of these Jewish senior citizens, who gave so much of themselves so that we may live as free Jews, may be denied the opportunity to live out their remaining yean in dignity, and in health.

Nebraska State Senator Peter Hoagland will be the guest speaker at the 10 a.m., Temple Israel Men's Club Brunch on Feb. 13. The senator's topic will be La. 40-41-42, which due to their content, are highly critical issues to all minority groups, and, especially to members of the Jewish faith. These bill* were personally introduced to the Nebraska Unicameral by Senator Hoagland. LB 40 - "Increase the criminal penalty for vandalism to synagogues, churches and cemeteries LB 41 - "Create new criminal and civil action* against those perpetrating ethnic intimidation ..." LB 42 "Prohibit para-
military groups from forming and creating civil disturbances..." Senator Hoagland, who was chosen as "outstanding young attorney" for 1977 by Creighton University Law School, attended Yale and Stanford Universities. He has also served with the U.S. District Court in Washington D.C. He currently is in private law practice in Omaha, in addition to serving his second consecutive term in the Unicameral. A lox and bagel brunch will be served. Men's Club members free, guests SI each. Guests may attend. Persons who are not a Temple Men's Club member should call 5566536 for reservations.
EJAJ Rights NEW YORK (.1TA) As part of the new labor agreement that has enabled El Al to resume ita worldwide operations, the airline announced that it has suspended all flights on the Sabbath and Jewish holidays worldwide. El Al never had flight* on
the Sabbath between Israel and North America. There were only some Sabbath flight* between Israel and Europe. After a four month hiatus, passenger service resumed on Jan. 12 with service from Tel Aviv to Nairobi and Johannesburg. U.S. service began Feb. 1. on a twice-weekly basis.
WhynotaMf By Bert L e w i s All of the current gevalt about the Superbowl brings to mind an amusing idea: Why can't we have a Mitzvah Bowl? Of course it would take a lot of work . , . some great Tzadik would have to figure out teams and leagues. Maybe we could have an AML, to deal with American needs. We could form a 1ML, obviously to focus on Israel. We might even introduce a third league with a catchy name like the World MiUvah League. That would naturally take in everybody! Teams would be in contention with each other to ace how many mitzvot each could score. In theiw days it ought to be a cinch to rack up impressive tallies. We could have a 12 month season, to give participant* plenty of time to produce at top form. And incentive rallies where the players heard pep talks. Maybe cheerleaders... I can see it now; attractive young people, both genders (no texist, I!), calling "Give me an M, give me an I," etc., etc. Of course nobody could "own" the teams. But they could have professional coaches and manager*. Like people who had spent a lifetime volunteering and doing for others. Then, maybe after 11 months of production, the playoffs could be held. Some maven could decide who won the privilege to go to the Mitzvah Bowl. Maybe based on who had more anonymous mitzvot. But who would be the victor? Mind boggling. Rcfa would have to be selected from a Board of Chief Menchen, with final choice left to them. And what would they win? Rings? Money? Gratification can't be measured monetarily, nor can humanitarianiim be jeweled and worn. Personally, I think the whole idea has some merit, but it obvioiuly needs more work. Wouldn't that be a great project for these winter Sunday afternoon*, especially since there i«n't anything special to watch on television anyway! If you want to sign up for a team, let me know'. I'll be glad to do the PR for you!

Barbara, a UNO student, found that being an intern for the Cultural Arts Department of the JCC was
fun. "Working at the JCC with the people in charge, seeing how everything runs, how policy decisions are made and programming is done, waa very interesting."

Words for reflection The Zionist Information Service weekly news bulletin contains a lengthy article entitled, What is a Jew? written by Lev Tolstoy, a Russian writer (18281910) An excerpt from that article follows: 'The Jew is the symbol of eternity. He whom neither slaughter nor torture of thousands of yean could destroy; he whom neither fire nor sword nor inquisition was able to wipe of the face of the earth; he who was the first to produce the oracles of God; he who has been for so long the guardian of prophesy, and who transmitted it to the rest of the world — such a nation cannot be destroyed.
Former Omahan David Lazarus, now a permanent «•ident of Israel, writes regularly to me with the eipectation that some of hit work will be printed in the Jewish Press. On occasion, when his material is considered interesting for our readership, we do publish an article under his byline. Other times, when he rambles on with vitriolic attacks against policymakers or bureaucrats, we stow the information in our filesWell, this week I had to go back into the file to reread something that he had written several #eeks ago.

Tip of the iceberg

m
The work of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith can be likened to on iceberg: Much of the activity takes place in painstaking research, careful observation and documentation surfacing only when the time is right. In Omaha, the ADL/CRC Committee of the Jewish Federation operates way beyond this locality. ADL business reaches into the Plains States and draws upon a multitude of resources. The bottom of the iceberg, so to speak, emerged into full public view recently when State Senator Peter Hoagland presented his para-military bill to the Nebraska legislature. Much of the material including the model bill and expert witnesses were provided by ADL This bill is of immense importance to Jews because in many parts of the testimony (published in lost week's Jewish Press) Americans talk about harming and even killing Jews. The law of the land must contain, restrict, and penalize those who prepare militarily to take control of government. Protection of its citizens is the first responsibility of government and ADL should be congratulated for its civic participation. Morris Maline
The Rev. Sileven The Rev. Everett Sileven has been waging a mighty publicity campaign in an effort to prevent state and county officials from prosecution of the Faith Christian School.
Decency during the Holocaust A Book Review by Martin P. Wolf Schindlcr'a List, Thomas Kcncnly. Simon end Schuster, New York, 1982. .198 p. Who was the German, Oakar Schindler, buried in Jerusalem and honored with a plaque on the Avenue of the Righteous? Thomas Kenenly has interviewed the survivors, menit from Cracow and surrounding areas of Poland, and has written a documentary novel of one German-Catholic industrialist who used his factory and his personal wealth to undermine the Final Solution and save more than a thousand Jews from extermination. SchindJcr established a pottery factory in Cracow and through bribery, manipulation of the S.S. high command and a great deal of cunning, managed to protect the "Schindlerjuden" to the end of the war.

In 1944 his pottery factory was closed in Cracow and all prisoners, including his workers, were to be exterminated. Under the guise of producing cannon shells as well as pottery, he was able to re-establish hi* factory in Czechoslovakia and transfer moat of the Jewish workers to the new plant. From this transfer came the List of Schindler, i.e. those Jews who would not be tent to Auschwitz. In one of the moist extraordinary occurrences in the history of Auschwitz, three hundred women on Schindler's list were transferred to the extermination camp and were subsequently released and «mt to the Schindler factory in Czechoslovakia an a result of Schindler's manipulation of the S.S.

banon, that U.S. Marines may have been told to provoke encounters of an unpleasant kind with Israelis who are guarding the approaches to Beirut" The point that catches one's eye it the astounding claim that Marines may have been told to provoke encounter!. This claim by Mr. Lazarus U somewhat different than the John Wayne-type bravado recently headlined in the media across the nation. What could be more exciting to the American imnpnai. tion and movie script writer than a tingle boyish United State* Marine holding off three mean-looking Israeli tanks. There he stands with a pistol in the air, and the mighty armament of the Slate of Israel runt away. "Aw, shucks, maw, I couldn't let those tanks near our boys, I'm a Marine, you know," it what I would have the guy say if I were writing the scenario. But, I'm not writing the script, and according to Mr. Lazarus, the Marine* aren't either. He puts the honor of the Marine Corps smack in the face of U.S. Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger. Let's get back to Mr. Lazarus: " . . . what should an Israeli group, just Tired upon by PLO, and now in hot pursuit do when they find the PLO returning to their cover right through a U.S. Marine position''" , " . . . it in easy to see that sooner or Inter there can be a confrontation . . . " " . . . it can be easily surmised that the Marines have received order* from their officers, who earlier received commands from higher up to present such a provocation of frustration to the Israeli force*. "So, Casper Weinberger emerge* in the role of an agent provocateur! Create, force an incident that will make it unavoidable for Israeli* to fire upon the p«ncc-keeping Marine*. "Then, watch the Roman Circus in the U.S. news media of Jew* firing upon weak, lightly armed, outnumbered, peace-loving Marines! " . . . if Weinberger could (succeed in using a platoon of Marines to act a* a lightning rod, the Reagan Administration would claim justification in thenceforth insulating Israel from all future aid from USA." Mr. Lazarus may be wrong. Is he, Mr. Secretary?

Ten little lndians"at Norton Theater
The plot of this Agatha Christie whodunit revolves around 10 persons who have arrived at an island country house after receiving invitations from a Mr. U.N. Owen. Shortly after their arrival late in the day they all hear the voice of their host (Rudyard Norton in an auditory cameo) over an unseeable loudspeaker. He accuses each of them of having committed murder, e.g., a doctor guest of having lost a patient through negligence and an army general guest of having ordered his men into a certain ambush. "Prisoners at the bar, have you anything to say in your defense!" he thunders at them all. One by one over a period of several days the guests die by mysterious means, until only two are left to contend with the mad genius, Mr. U.N. Owen (Mr.

Kantor in 1965, the agreement this year was signed without ceremony and without any official announcement, a clear deviation from the practice of the past 15 years.

to the story line it has a message. Though her passion was crime, Agatha Christie did not usually find room in her novels to deal philosophically with the subject at any great length. In 'Ten Little Indians" she did, carefully distinguishing between legal and moral notions of guilt. Just because an individual is not legally guilty of a crime (because of whatever technicalities), says Christie, that does not mean that he or she msy not still be morally guilty. And the morally guilty must ultimately meet their punish' merit, she says. The Nebraska State Repertory Company in this production at the Norton Theater is excellent and believable right down to their English accents. (D.B.)
Unknown). Agatha Christie called this play, which the said she waa able to write only after a tremendous amount of planning, "the best piece of craftsmanship" of her career. She said it was a challenge to write a play in which so many characters die without having the play become "ridiculous" and the murderer's identity obvious. Most viewers of "Ten Little Indians" are sure to agree with Christie's own description of this mystery as one that is "clear, straightforward, baffling, and yet possessed of a perfectly reasonable explanation." Another thing that makes "Ten Little Indians" notable . among Christie thrillers is that in addition
