The Jews of Tunisia

NEW YORK - There ore 4,600 Jews living in Tunisia today, mostly in the capital city of Tunis and on the island of Djerba. The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), Ihe overscan relief arm of the American Jewish community, ha» been active in Tunisia since the 1950s when world attention was focuitcd on the million "forgotten Jews" of North Africa. At that time there were 100,000 Jews in Tunisia. JDC today provides for the welfare of the Jewish poor and the old, helps them with medial) service^ and supports Jewish education. The welfare consist* of cash grantt for food and rent and i« given to 350 people, most of them elderly and needy. Medical care is provided to 150 people a month, Almost a third of .IDC's budget is for Jewish tchooli in Tunis, Djerba and Zarzii. with a total enrollment of 500. About 350 of the children also receive hot lunches provided by JDC.

Syria has 'potential' for war with Israel NEW YOHK (JTA) — The Syrian army is RSW stronger than it was lost year, before Israel's invasion of Lebanon and at almost twice its strength compared to what it was at the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War in which Syria was a participant. It now has more than 3,000 Soviet-made tnnkfl, cornpared with 2,000 at the lime of the Yom Kippur War, and more than COO MIG fighter planes, compared with 300 in 197.1. Furthermore, the new defense budget of Syria has been increased this year to $2.4 billion, 64 percent of its national budget. The number of Soviet ndvisoro in Syria has been rifling steadily, jumping from 2,500 advisor* last year to 4,600 at present. These dctiiils were given to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency during a special interview with Naphtali Lavie, Israel's Consul General in New York. "The Syrians now have the potential to engage in a new war with Israel," ho Mid. "Common sense Bays that they should not get involved in a new war, since they lost oil their worn with Israel BO far. Dut it in hard to judge their motives, mainly because they net not only on behalf of their interests or the Arab world but they clearly served other interests, thorn! of the Soviet Union."

fore the Six-Dny War.", Syria, tho Israeli official pointed out, "has various interests in Lebanon that ore not connected with the current presence of Israeli forces there." He noted that Syria never recognized Lebanon as a state and does not have any diplomatic representation in that country. "The Syrians were occupying Lebanon for the last seven years. It is hard for them to accept tho fact that it's time for them to leave Lebanon," Lovtc said. He wiid Israel in closely watching Syria. "Their threats ore not now, we have been living with them for the lost 35 yean, but we are keeping alert to meet any eventuality/' t^avio stated.

lie said, in response to a question, that farad's image in tho United States, which was tarished as a result of Israel's invasion of Lebanon and further damaged after the massacre of Palestinian refugees in the Sabra and Shntila camps near Beirut last September by Christian militiamen, is an improvement. The bnsi* for the change in the American public opinion, Lavio claimed, in: the conclusions by the Israeli commission to investigate the masiincre re-established According to Lavie, who nerved for many Israel'* credibility among the American years in the Iflracl's Defense Ministry OH an people and the media. Lavic noted, in this '. aide to Defense Ministers, including the Jate regard, that whllo the commission investiMouhe' Dayan, the Syrians arc trying'to gated the tragedy and recommended action "torpedo" tho accord reached between Is- against top government and Israel Defense rael and Lebanon on the withdrawal of U- Force officials, the Lebanese government .: raeli troops from Lebanon," through threat* has still to investigate and punish the mur• and psychological warfare, at they did be- derers.

Jewish Day School earns high scores By Dr. Michael Katz, Associate Professor of Education, UNO, and vice president, J e w i s h Day School In its first year of operation as a stateapproved private school, the Jewish Day School of Omaha has achieved impressive scores on the nationally normed California Achievement Tests. Taking the firBt grade battery (battery 11 C) of tests, seven out of the 10 kindergarten children scored in the 99th perccntile on the test. What this means is that these seven children scored in the highest percentile compared to the national group of first graders taking the tests. "We have been extremely proud of our oil-day kindergarten," said Day School President Susan Palcy, "and the children's test scores make us even prouder." Commenting on how tho kindergarten children had adapted to the school, Harris Goldstein, director, informed the curriculum committee at its May 4 meeting that the kindergarten children "had acquired e i cellent work habits and remained excited about learning." The overall scores for all of the kindergarten children on the first grade level California Achievement Test are as follows: 1) Reading: 80.80; 2) Language: 81.90; 3) Math: 83.30; 4) Total Battery: 83.20. These children attend kindergarten on an all-day basis and are allowed to proceed at their own intellectual pace through the different 'areas of the academic curriculum. The scores of the nine primary children in grades 1-6 were all far above the national norm — the 50th percentile. The primary children scored as follows on their respective grade level California Achievement Testa: 1) Reading: 78.89; 2) Language: 71.11; 3) Math 69.11; 4) Total Battery: 75.22. "What makes these test scores impressive," said Mr. Goldstein, "in that the curriculum of the school has not been geared to the content of these tests. Many of the truly outstanding features of our curriculum — .creative writing, computer work, art, rnusic, Jewish culture, Hebrew, science, and social studies — are not measured by tho

WASHINGTON (JTA) - The Jewish Advocacy Center, an organization founded last year to take legal action in support of victims of anti-Semitism, filed a $6 million suit in o federal court in Brooklyn against three Kings Point, N.Y., men who have "terrorized" a Jewish family in that Long Island community for the last three years. Irvin Shapell, president of the Washington-based Jewish Advocacy Center, said he filed the suit for compensation and punitive damages for Ynncov and Honnn Rlkon and their two children, aged nix and 11. The suit chargeA that Brad Barry, Robert Lesser and Brian Kolen. went on a three year "rampage of asimU, terror and vandalism" against tho Elkons "for the simplo reason that the Elkonn are Jewish." Shapell noted that although similar nuit& have been filed in the past for Black families, it linn never been done before for Jewish victims of racism. "This law suit marks the beginning of a new and aggressive program to initiate civil Inw suits for monetary damages in addition to relying on criminal prosecution to deter the current high' number oi nnti-Semitic incidents in' the U.S.," Shapell said. He said this prpgram by th(TCenter will ."send a clear and emphatic mesnage that the ''Jewish community will not tolerate anti-

test scores. The best way for people to appreciate the quality of out Bchool in for them to visit the school and experience the creative work of the students and teachers." Qualified educators agree that it is inappropriate to compare schools and school districts with each other on the basis of the results of standardized test scores. Dr. Paul Malcolm, research assistant in charge of testing in the Omaha Public Schools, indicated that achievement test scores are af- * fected' by out-of-school factors such OB parental background, home environment, etc. and that in schools with small numbers of students, a few very high or very low scores can have a dramatic effect on the mean score for that group. Asked if the high scores on the test might simply indicate that Jewish children are bright and would score well in any schooling environment, Mr. Goldstein rejected that argument. "These are normal kids with the opportunity to excel." Mr. Goldstein said there were four factors contributing to the achievement of the students in the first year of the Jewish Day School of Omaha: excellent teachers; the opportunity given to children to learn and grow at their own rote; an enriched, stimulating environment; and very supportive "non-pushy" parents'. Asked to comment on her recent visit to the Jewish Day School, JCC Preschool Director Marlen Frost said, "It was a very exciting environment. It seemed the children were all busy, and all happy, and all doing what they were supposed to be doing. I was really very impressed." The staff of the Jewish Day School of Omaha includes two full-time secular teachers, two part-time Jewish educators, and a full-time director. Presently there arc 24 students enrolled for the coming year. Mrs. Palcy said additional students will be enrolled before tho Fall term. "We are much further along in our goals for the school than wo had anticipated being a year ago at this time. We have an exciting curriculum, a creative teaching staff, and a fine professional board. I believe we are building a truly outstanding school — one that the Jewish community of Omaha takes pride in."

Jewish violence, but will respond — forcefully and responsibly — with the full weight of the law." He said it is hoped that "this Inw suit will help reduce the number of antiJewish acts by making them too costly and risky to consider." The complaint filed in federal court charges that the Elkons' homo was defaced with swastikas and anti-Jewish slogans;' fires were set on their property; windows were shot out and broken; fireworks were thrown into the house; and anti-Semitic statements against Mrs. Elkon were Bproypainted along a public street. Tho suit alleges that the defendants also placed n voodoo doll in the front yard of the Elkons' home with a Stt: of David on the doll's chent and a hypodermic syringe piercing the doll's eye. "As a result of these nctn, the Elkona were compelled to live in fear for their safety for three years," Shapell said. He said the children particularly were affected by the incidents, Barry, 20, who lives across the street from the Elkoim has been convicted in local courts of tho voodoo doll incident and other acts of vandalism against Jews in the area, according to Shapell, He said the two younger men also live near tho Elkons.

NEW YORK <JTA> — Urwl n«v«r nctivtd approval from the United States for i u invasion of Lebanon 11 months ago, according to former Defense Minuter Ariel Sharon, who gaid, "On the contrary, we were warned not to go" into Lebanon. Sharon, who is now Mini*t*r-VVithout-Portfblio, told reporters at a pre*» conference at the Sutton Place Synagogue, that U.8. officials had warned againtt taking military action against Palestinian terrorist* in south Lebanon without "clear provocation." "I asked, 'When you are talking about Jews, what is clear provocation? How many Jews rauat be killed'?" Sharon said. "1 My we don't have to wait until the knife cuU deeps into our throat*." The press conference preceded a public dialogue Sharon participated in with Rabbi David Kabane, spiritual leader of the Sutton Place Synagogue. An estimated 1&00 persons crowded into the synagogue, which included a basement hall filled to capacity where a closed circuit broadcast of the dialogue wa* provided. Outside, meanwhile, hundred jammed the street listening to Sharon through loudspeakers. Al the pre»» conference, Sharon taid the Lebanon action wait initiated to "cruih the kingdom of terror with iU headquarters in Heirut and to eliminate the threat against northern Israeli towns of being nhelltd by PLO rocket*." During the dialogue, the Israeli official taid that from Jnnuory.

Sharon, who along with Minuter of Science Yuval Net-man of the ultra-notionalUt Tehiyn faction,.cut the two dissenting vote* in the Cabinet hut Friday against I ho agreement reached between Israel and Lebanon, said the agreement failed to take into consideration adequately Inrael's security ne<-ds to prevent a return to the region of f'alt-iitinian terrorists. "The agreement does not prevent the future regrouping of terrorists in lx-banon." Sharon itaid. He said the \jt-

banese government doe* not control Lebanon nor doe» it hardly have control of Beirut. While not directly accusing the multinational force which operate* in Beirut and ita environs of "collaborating with terrorist*," Sharon ftaid that they act as a "barrier" against Israeli forces taking action against them. Sharon said he also objected to the agreement because it weakens the role of Israel's ally in south Lebanon, Maj. Saad Haddad, commander of a 1,200 man Christian militia force. He said that the on((_third of Lebanese land controlled by Haddad in the southern region is the only place where there "is relative harmony" between the various Lebanese groups. Sharon, who was interrupted with appkute more than a dozen time* during the two-hour dialogue with Knhone, appeared related and good-spirited. On the 13 questions covering a broad range of topic* Sharon was atked, he gave the following replies: • On Israel'* operation "Peace of Galilee," he Mid that many Israeli casualties were a result of efforts by the Israel Defence Force to prevent Lebanese civilian casualties. • Israel did not "invade" Lebanon but went there "with D clear purpose . . . to destroy, to eliminate the PIX) terrorist* who were killing, miutacering and raping Lebanese civilians." • lleferring to the, Israel Commiuion of Inquiry report into the Beirut refugee camp* mnssnrrc by Christian Phalangi»U which rt-Milted in hi* resignation Bit Defense Minister, Sharon said it « u t h e first time nnywhtre that a Defen&e Minister left hi* post "due to actions by other* , . .

Barbara Tudimaft on Join inthe fun Omaha's J e w i s h Press may be the only Jewish newspaper in the country to offer theme issues for the holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Passover. A theme issue involves interviews with people who agree to comment and discuss issues and events — all geared to a dominant thought. We are proud of this distinction and we look forward to producing a noteworthy issue for the upcoming Jewish New Year. Although the scholars of our community will say that Rosh Hashanah is right on time this year we in the newspaper business say that the holiday is approaching quickly for an early September deadline. For those who patiently await the meaning of this editorial, don't despair. Let us first state that the theme for the New Year issue will focus on the 10th anniversary of the Jewish Community Center building at 333 South 132nd Street. Next, let us point out that the building didn't just spring out of the ozone layer, it was planned, debated, and built with the loving involvement of hundreds of people. Trying to determine who among the hundreds should be interviewed for this massive undertaking should really be a community responsibility rather than the task of the J e w i s h Press staff. Thus, the reason for the editorial is to let the community know what we have in mind and then ask for cooperation in helping us do our job. This, then, is an open invitation to the entire community. If you participated in the planning of the new Jewish Community Center and you have some interesting comments, or o full-fledged story idea, or perhaps some photographs that may be of interest, please call. If you know of someone who made an outstanding contribution in time and effort, please call. We would like to know more. Although we anticipate many favorable stories, this may also be an opportunity for those with gripes to come forth. There was not total agreement in the early days about what should or should not be done. Perhaps with a discussion of past errors, future mistakes can be minimized. In reality, the issue is open to all points of view and selection of interviews will be made by the editors on the basis of news value and fair treatment. This is your Jewish community, your community center and your newspaper. Join in the fun and the excitement of our upcoming special issue.

B y Arnold Forster The following interview with acted historian Barbara Tuchman wa» conducted b y Arnold Forater, general counsel ot t h e Anil-Defamation League o f B'nai B'rith, tor a forthcoming film ia ADL's "Dateline Israel" television series: FOBSTEB: To begin, may we atk how you assess Israel these days, bow you assets the world's attitude toward Israel and the reason* behind your view*? TUCHMAN: I can't say that I have engaged in any disciplined examination of the matter. But I have observed and perforce I have come to conclusion*, conclusions that have b « n more mystic than historic. I can't help feeling in eome way that the history of the Jew* has revealed a kind of specialne**, uniqueness, in which they represent the tragedy of the human race, or humanity. The succession of disaster* and repeated oppressions imposed upon them by their fellow human* seems to me to w y something — because it's been so long, so enduring and so singular. It U one people to whom all this has happened, and it U ea if they had been selected in some mysterious way to represent, or to be the symbol of the tragic nature of human history. FORSTER: Aren't you in a sense probing the ami! of man vis-a-vis Jews? TUCHMAN: I don't know that it's the coul no much as the baggage of accumulated attitudes and positions. You see, 1 think that in some way the Jews represent the ancestors of Western culture and the religion of Western civilization. Our Judeo-Christian culture, as it U called, descends from them; the Christians, after all, were originally Jews. The separation took place after St. Paul, in about the Second or Third Century, A.D. The Christians had to reject the Father, which is, I suppose, a frequent phenomenon. The break came because the Jews did not accept what they called the New Law. They, we, clung to the Mosaic Law and the new, struggling religion had to reject them in order to validate their own. In the process of rejecting, they had to label the old aa wicked or evil. And since then, this has been the essential: The Jew* have been the receptacle for venting negative feelings, whether it's the Black Death or that they poisoned the wells or whether it'a capitalism — they represent the money power — or whether it's the "Masonic Underground" which was often equated with the Jew*. And I think the attitude* of today, after the creation of the Israeli State, are still carrying on in that tradition. FOBSTEB: In your book, "The Bible and the Sword," you probed the relations between Great Britain and Palestine from ancient times to the 20th Century. Did your research tell you anything, explain anything about contemporary Christian attitudes toward the Jewish Stale? TUCHMAN: Toward the Jewish Stole of today? Yes. Because after oil, the Bible, the Old Testament, is in all our backgrounds, at least all of us over 15.1 gather they don't read the Bible anymore. But it's very deep and very pervasive and we relate to the Holy Land, to Palestine, to Jerusalem through that influence. Thai background has governed Christian attitude or, at leant, America's attitude toward Israel. But you have to combine that factor with its exact opposite, the old sense of antagonism. That antagonism in the stem of the extreme, excessive and rather ridiculous reaction to the whole l^ebanon invasion business — a reaction which is so excessively moral and moralistic. Western peoples have been accustomed to Jews being victims, and really reasonable acceptable victims. But when Jews stop being victims, when they stand up and eay "By God, we're going to do this and we're going to do that" or "This is our right just the way it is your right and America's right to slate o position," that is very upsetting. I think this is what lies behind a lot of present to-do over Israel. Israelis have stopped being victims, they are making demands and they ore insisting on normal right*. FOR8TER: That is, you soy, a reaction to the appearance of the new Jewish State. Now, you have written of Israel's historical nature and its meaning as a new nation. What i« its significance after 0 liUium of 2000 years? TUCHMAN: The significance is very large for the Jewish people because statehood changes Jewish nature entirely. We are no longer homeless wanderers or beggars or suppliants. When a people has o territory and a political entity, the whole thing changes. Sovereignty makes an enormous difference, still, in this world. Now that there is an Israeli sovereignty over a territory! small, tiny as it is — people tend to forget, you know, when the Arabs carry on the way they do about this enormous power and this huge State, that Israel is the size of Massachusetts — the Jewish people are reestablished in their old home, in their original home. And that has affected.a kind of transformation. ' ' I remember when J went to Israel immediately after the '67 War. It was in the first week and I was doing two articles for the Atlantic Monthly, and I was interviewing at the General Stiff School. Because I'd written "Guns of August," everybody inevitably took me to the

•«•'?«

military. Looking at the personnel, 1 thought they ell looked like Dartmouth graduates and I mads a remark to that effect The general, 0 young man, said to me, "Yea, Jewish sorrow has gone out of their eyes." 1 never forgot that. I think that's the nature of transformation. FORSTER: Do you think the altitude of Israeli Jews toward the world is different from the attitude of Jews in the Diaspora? TUCHMAN: I can't really speak for the Jews living in Israel because they're a people and I'm not one of them. But t think their attitude toward lbs outside woild is certainly different from what it wa* when they lived in the thtetls of Russia and Poland, or even in New York and London, or wherever. Yet, I don't know what i l is. But certainly the attitude of the Jews in the Diaspora toward the rest of the world ho* changed a great deal. We don't think of ourselves anymore aa second-rate citizen*. That was pervasive. It couldn't be helped Jewish people now, at least speaking for myself, believe themselves to be the same kind of citizen as everyone else. FOHSTER: As a result of the Dispersion, there became as an integral part of Judaism the phrase, "Next year in Jerusalem," a Return to the Land, seemingly a religious connection to a Land that they had not known personally, and even most of their ancestor* had not known for 2000 years. Are you able to explain that phenomenon? TUCHMAN: I don't know that it'* religious. It was a kind of atavism, a yearning for your Home and for your Land. Because they no longer had their own, wherever they were, in Rome, in Spain, in Poland, and eventually in England and America, it wasn't their'*, or at least they were made to feel it wasn't their**. So that this continual yearning, this atavism, maintained itself, and it maintained itself becauut Jewish culture was always connected with the memories and the experience of Palestine, Jerusalem — a connection which never died down. FORSTER: What WAS the lot of the Jew* over the long yean, away from the Holy Land? Ia there any relationship between what they faced in the Diaspora and their survival as Jews? _^>. TUCHMAN: Oh yes, I think so. Firtt of ell, the determining factor wa* vulnerability. They were always subject to any kind of midden, unmotivated action egainst their people. They lived close together with other Jews. There wa* always a Jewish quarter where Jew* lived and always they were without citizens' right*. That is what I call vulnerability. They had no comeback, no protection by whatever the equivalent of police would hove been; guards, in the Middle Age*. They were totally vulnerable. If the king needed money, he could exile the Jews and take their property. Or when there was some local disaster, the people frequently made scapegoat* of the Jews. FORSTER: Why didn't the Jews assimilate? Wasn't this an easy solution to what he confronted in Europe? • TUCHMAN: This itself wa* a very different problem. Thow who succeeded in finding themselves n comfortable and workable place in society wanted to assimilate but did not want to reject Judaism. 1 know that's true of my family, who were Jews, successful Jews, and who made a place for themselves in American society. And they believed that America was the place where everyone could reach equality a* 0 citizen. But they didn't, any of them, want to reject Judaism. ' (To be continued)

Chief Wadman to speak To the Editor: The following letter to Parn Cohn, co-chairman, Iarael Independence Day Festival, was written Bit a personal letter from me in appreciation for her working with me on May 1, 198.1. I would like to convey my feelings about her to the entire Jewish Community: Dear Parn, I may be good at planning things along with the inherent paperwork, but when it comes to writing a thank you, 1 get all tongue tied. I really wish the Jewish Community could know of the many houfa you put in on the planning of the Yom Ha'atzmaut Festival. If it weren't for your dedication nnd devotion, 1 don't think I could have felt a» good on I did. You really are the one person who made the festival the success it was. Thank you . . . or os we Hebrews say: Todoh liatiah. Todah Itabah for your help. Todah Rabah for the privilege of being associated with you. Todah Rabah for the pleasure of your company. Todah Rabah for keeping me from blowing my top. And, Todah Rnbnh for just being you. You are one Tine lady and I hope the community will have the pleasure of your chairmanship in the future for greater and better thing*. Benson B. Lcet Co-Chairman, Israel Independence Day Festival To the Editor: During the Yom Ha'atzmaut observance, 1 operated the amateur radio station at the JCC and was able to get a message to an Israeli amateur with the auiatance of a "Ham" in Long Island, New York. I could hear Amateur Radio Station 4XCVA in Israel, but he could not hear my signal becauie of heavy static. Jim Duggan in Bayshore, Long Island, New York, station WA2LEW, joined in and said he could get the message to the station in Israel. He "relayed" the message: "Greetings from this amateur ratio station in the Jewish Community Center, Omaha, Nebraska, where we are celebrating Israel's 35th birthday with a day long gathering." I operated the station using my own amateur call sign, VVD0BVM, since I have an amateur license to operate any amateur radio station in the United States. Sam Kaplan — WD0BVH

President's Message Two year* have passed since I became President wilh nine brand new officers. I felt very good about these yearn as 1 have seen many events happen. All the new executive board picked up the reins of their office and followed through on their jobs as did the whole board and therefore my Presidency was made easy by the enthusiasm that came forth from our board members and membership. New innovations were the Plus Gifts luncheon at Mickey Sturm's, Literary Review — a panel of eight Omaha writers — during book month, the Youth Aliyah 50th Anniversary Sweepstakes, the Passover table Bt the Flaming Festival, the Lecture Scries with Rabbi Kripke, Yom Ha' Atzmaut with our hamburger and French fry booth, and our reception for Sabi ShaUii. My reward for being President waa the friendships I made and the deeper commitment I have to rny people and Israel. It is with this commitment and responsibility to both education and fundraising that I want to leave a legacy to those who follow in the Presidency of the Omaha Chapter of Hadassah. Thank you for all your help, I needed it and received it. Thank you Corinne, Doreen, Suzy, Sally, Jean, Kate, Phyllis, Sherry, Bev, Cheryl. Ann, Betty, Ann, Marilyn and it goes on. Thank You.
