NCJW president speaks in Omaha By David Bittncr Does protocol entitle the president of the National Council of Jewish Women to exchange pleasantries with the U.S. Secretary of State? National NCJW president Barbara Mandel wasn't sure. So at the recent inauguration of Israeli President Chaim . , r^ Hcrzog, when she found herself s e a t e d behind George Schultz, she decided to relay a comment to the Secretary through her neighbor and friend, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Sam Lewis. "Will you tell him how proud I am as an American to see that he ifl here?" Mrs. Mandel whispered to Lewis. "You can tell meyoursclf, madam," aaid Schultz, turning around in his scat. Drawing herself up, Mrs. Mandel said, "I believe you Barbara Mandel B e n d „ m c s f l a g 0 by being here today, sir. Had you not attended you would have sent a different message." "A messago is exactly what I intended to send," replied Schultz. ' Not that the life of an NCIW president docs not have its share of chagrin, too, however. At another ceremony during the inaugural celebration, Mrs. Mandel turned to a man whom she took for an Israeli. In a mixture of Hebrew and French she tried to strike up a conversation with him. The man replied in perfect English that he was the Egyptian consul. Mrs. Mandel was in Omaha this week to address tho local chapter of NCJW as tho oldest Jewish women's organization in tho country celebrates its ninetieth birthday. Mrs. Mandel spoke proudly of NCJW projects here and in Israel. In this country, Bho said, an N O W project which has drawn much attention during the last two years is CASA — Court Appointed Special Advocates. Funded through a pant from the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation, CASA provided intensively trained volunteers to represent neglected, dependent, and abused children through all stages of the court process, she said.

Rosalie Grad criticizes Begin on social needs, women's rights By David Blttner A former Omaha woman who lived in Israel for six yean and promoted Pioneer Women projects there says Prime Minister Menachetn Begin it no friend of either social services or women's rights. • "1 feel 1 have the right to disagree with the government of a country I love," said Rosalie Grad, who waa recently in Omaha to address a meeting of the Shoshana chapter of Pioneer Women. "Begin is so hung up on pleasing the religious parties and carrying on the war that he has deferred t o ultra-Orthodox groups on abortion, marriage, and divorce taws, and has diverted funds from social programs to defense," aaid Mrs. Grad. As examples of Begin'* conservatism on religious laws affecting women, Mrs. Grad pointed to his cancellation of liberal abortion laws that existed prioMo his taking office, and to his maintenance of Levirate marriage laws. As long as the latter are in effect, she said, a childless widow must have her dead husband's brother's permission to remarry. "In some cases the brother has not yet reached the age of 13 and cannot give his sisterin-law her freedom until he does," explained Mrs. Grad. "In other case* the brotherin-law may be of age but still be reluctant to go through the Talmudic ceremony of spitting on the floor before a religious court." Mrs. Grad said thai in Is, rael she belonged to an organization called Women Workers and Volunteers

in these homes is still given to t h e children of war widows, she said, but mothers who work or arc learning skills now receive the same consideration as those who are simply poor. "We feel women who are trying to improve themselves should be given an incentive for their efforts," said Mrs. Grad.

Rosalie Grad that fights for women's rights in the country and also served on the Absorption Committee Women's Division Labor Party. Mrs. Grad added that a charismatic image Begin hat tried to build for himself and u*e to "frenzy" Israelis Is "unnatural" and runs counter to Jewish culture. A labor Zionist since her youth, Mrs. Grad has helped translate her belief in social programs for the Jewish state into many services for' disadvantaged Israelis. She said Pioneer Women have established 40 community centers in Israel. In a country where the homes of large families are typically very small, Mrs. Grad said the community centers serve as "enlarged homes." She is very proud of day care centers located in the community centers which have toned 20,000 Israeli infants — more than all other state and private day care centers in Israeli combined, she noted. Mrs. Grad said three other homes in Rchovot, Hadera and Tel Aviv care full-time for children up to the age of uii. First priority

when she lived here, Mrs. Grad was chairman of the Jewish Cultural Committee — precursor of the Jewish Cultural Arts Council — served on the board of Beth El Synagogue Sisterhood, taught religious school, and was chairman of Israel's 25th anniversary celebration.

Pioneer Women has also established vocational schools for youths who have a difficult time with academic subjects, said Mrs. Grad. Having come to Omaha as much to see old friends as to address Pioneer Women, Mrs. Grad said she has fond recollections of the time she spent here between 1970 and 1974. "I had a two-sided love affair when I was here," she said. "Omaha was good to me, and I tried to be good to it. As long as you try to live Jewishly wherever you are, you can always find a niche for yourself."

Mrs. Grad describes herself as a "city person" who enjoyed living in Omaha almost a* much as she did Tel Aviv. Now that the work of her husband, a military structural design engineer, has brought the Grads back to the United States, Mrs. Grad says she intends to work tirelessly to inform U.S. Jews on American-Israeli relations and urge them to take advantage of their roles as American citizens to influence American policy on the mid-east On a more human level, she says she wants to promote understanding between Israelis and American Jews.

an regarding human rights Editor's Note: Senator Edward Zorinsky has written President Reagan to urge the United States into action on human rights. A copy of his letter follows: The President The White House Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. President: American foreign policy traditionally has emphasized a concern for freedom and a commitment to liberty. The Soviet Union's internal repression, and its particularly brutal policies toward religious minorities, arc a challenge to our commitment and have been a source of continued sadness for me. Recent developments cause me to express to you at this time my deep concern about the worsening situation of Jews living in the Soviet Union. Reports indicate that the Soviet government is conducting a campaign to absolutely suppress the Jewish culture within the Soviet Union. Soviet authorities have prohibited Jewish self-study groups and holiday celebration*. Hebrew instructors are harassed and books related to the Jewish culture and religion are confiscated. Such efforts appear tantamount to cultural genocide. The emigration of Jew* from the Soviet Union has continued to decline. Last year the number of Jews allowed to emigrate was the lowest since the movement began. Let* than .1000 Jews were permitted to leave the Soviet Union, an compared with 51,000 in 1979. Not only are Soviet Jews being denied permission to emigrate, often they are denied even the opportunity to participate in the application process. In response to these developments, the United States must renew and demonstrate its historic commitment to human rights. Failure to do so in thin critical period may deprive Soviet Jewry of their only hope. We must make certain that our foreign policy in both its design and implementation clearly establishes our opposition to Soviet repression of Jews and attacks on their culture. If coordinated with our allies and other members of the world community and pursued with determination, such a policy can bring a measure of relief to those who suffer today in the Soviet Union. Respectfully, Edward Zorinsky United States Senator

Barbara Tuchman on Israel By Arnold Forster

2,000?

Continued from last week, the following Interview with noted historian Barbara TucJtntaa was conducted by Arnold Porster, general eotutael of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nal B'rith, for m fortbeoming film in ADL's "Dateline Israel" television series:

It's about time that the Jews of Omaha shared their secret with the rest of the United States. The secret is that Nebraska — the good life is true and that Jews truly can enjoy the good life in this part of the country.

TUCHMAN: You know, my grandfather was active in every Jewish organization you could think of. My father was president of the American Jewish Committee. And yet they were both what would be called aasimilationist, that is, they didn't pay much attention to the synagogue, or go to temple, and they weren't religious, and they weren't culturally Jewish. They were culturally American. But there was something they did not want to give up: Their heritage. I can't exactly explain why, except that it was important to them. And it was, deep down. I think something that they were proud of, very deep down. Why, as a whole, the Jewish people didn't assimilate was, of course, because very few reached that level, and there wasn't really much chance to assimilate.

Our brethren on the East Coast and the West Coast should know this. Recent announcements point to an anticipated growth in population for this area — not a particularly substantial increase, but a moderate one nevertheless. On the other hand, Jewish demographics appear to be somewhat static. It wasn't too long ago when an estimated 10,000 Jews resided in the Omaha area. Now, the figure is thought to be closer to 6,500. Hie current Jewish population has been somewhat stable for the post decade.

FORSTER: In that same period, however, there was a Jewry in Europe which was not assimilating, and from which eventually came the concept of political Zionism, the need to return Home. Why, at the end of the 19th Century, did we see the maturing of this political philo&ophy known as Zionism?

Many of the original Jewish settlers were businessmen. They worked hard, established families and flourished. The next generation took over the businesses and this is the period we are told when the Jewish population was at its peak.

TUCHMAN: Zionism emerged from the most oppressed area, that is, from Central Europe and Russia. The idea that Jews should have a State took form around I860 because of the oppression in Russia and Poland and in the neighboring central European countries, including the Austrian Empire, where most of the Jews lived. Their status was very, very low but Jewish life in' some communities, which were very dosed, was quite ' strong and most religious. And there was always, deep inside, the feeling of going, eventually, of going home although, at that time, the sense of Return was linked to the Prophesy of the Messiah coming again and leading the Return. But it took shape then because that was also a period of violent anti-Semitism. Toward the end of the 19th Century, pushed by anti-Jewish persecution, Zionism became'a political movement, in Germany, in Russia, in Central Europe. As the idea spread, it became a goal, both as a concept and as an actual physical State in Palestine.

The children of this generation are becoming professionals, giving up the family enterprises which welded them to Omaha. Other parts of the country are enticing these young professionals and the Omaha Jewish community suffers by their absence. Replacements are insufficient in numbers lending credence to the belief that the Jewish population of the Omaha area will decline over the years or at best remain static. It would be nice and comforting if we could look forward to the year 2,000 and anticipate an increase in numbers, but the prospects seem contrary. Thus, it would be safe to say that the situation will remain as described unless something is done. Two things come to mind? With respect to our young college students seeking professional careers . . . Jewish employers are not making enough of an effort to provide them with summer employment opportunities, BO they look el&ewhere.

FORSTER: So you hud two forces at play, the religious concept of "Next year in Jerusalem" and the ideological problem of persecution of the Jews. Now, Mime went to the Holy Land but didn't many more of them try to go to America or other places?

In fact, many college students no longer come home for the Hummer, but take jobs in their present localities or attend summer school. Secondly, should we be making a concerted effort to contact Jewish /amiliea in other parts of the country to advise them of the good life in Nebraska? Should some group have the responsibility to seek employment opportunities and advertise these jobs in New York City and Philadelphia, for example? Why keep Omaha a secret? The year 2,000 is not that far off. Let's plan, work and do it.

TUCHMAN: Oh yes, there was an enormous immigration between 1907 and 1910 after the programs in K FORSTER: And in the thirties when Hitler and Nazism appeared on the wenc, why was there no similar massive migration? TUCHMAN: We nil know the reason; they didn't get hero because the Germans had developed a political fantasy or phobia, and prevented them. They preferred to UKC Jews for slave tabor or to kill them as a Final Solution •-'- solving the Jewish problem by eliminating them. Except for the few before 1939 who managed "to give up their dining room furniture," to u*e the figure of speech of that day, none could gel out. The whole intellectual community of New York was changed by the advent of Jewish intelligentsia.

Escape at that time was impossible'although Hannah Arendt led many people to believe otherwise. She had the ridiculous idea that the Jew* could have but didn't cave themselves. That'* always seemed to me very nonsensical thinking. What do you do when you have no arms and a corps of armed police comes to your bouse, breaks down the doors and drags you off? You have no recourse. If the law is not going to protect you, and if your neighbors are suffering the same fate, what do you do? What would we Jews do here if a squad of armed police came in and dragged us off? What recourse would we have if we were considered non-citizens? None. F 0 R 8 T E R : Okay, most could not get out but many did who reached this hemisphere. Yet our country did not welcome them, did it? TUCHMAN: No, of couree not. They had to iighl tiny quotas; they had to get sponsoring affidavits or they had to have money. Without money, without a friend, the JDC and HIAS and some oilier organizations had to search out volunteer sponsors. But there were official restrictions and, during the war, of course, there were appalling limitations. The refusal to make openings, to bring in, to save any significant number, is one of the shames of the Roosevelt Administration. One of the great shames because it would have been possible to save many. Instead he allowed higher immigration barriers to be enacted, the McCarran IJIWB. And there was really no substantial reason why he couldn't insist otherwise except perhaps an innate feeling of his own, or because ho thought it would be politically undesirable. FORSTER; Let me Ukc you back to the end of the 19th Century, to Theodore Herzl who was not particularly Jewish-minded and who was not particularly political but who gave structure to the concept of political Zionism.

He was an assimilated Jew, a theater critic for ft great Viennese paper who sow Dreyfus being destroyed, so to speak, amid screams and excitement in Paris. But he bad predecessors, he didn't invent the idea of Zionism at all. It was there prior t o his extraordinary formulation of it. There were people in Eastern Europe, like Moses Hex*, and Leo Pinskcr, who wrote "Auto-Emancipation." Could 1 read you feomething from that? "The Jews must emancipate themselves," Pinsker proclaimed.

Other foreigners always have a country somewhere that claims their patriotism. Only the Jews hove not. And without it, they remain aliens everywhere What a contemptible role for tho people that once had i u Macabbm . . . There's no use complaining of anti-Semitism. It will go on as long ' as (he Jew remains a ghost and an alien . . . There is something unnatural about a people without a territory, jiiht n* then? is about a man without a shadow." And that pre-dates Herzl. It was an intellectual idea that began to take Bhnjw in Eastern Europe where Jews were listening, forming groups and beginning to emigrate to Palestine. What Herzl did was to make a movement of it in Western Europe with all it» accumulating tensions, in Britain and France and Germany where he gave it dynamism. He was an extraordinary man, if you keep in mind that his activity lasted only eight years. Think of what he accomplished in such a short time, before he died. ' (Continued n e s t week)

Israel aid cut rejected Reprinted from Near Eaat Report The Home Foreign Affair* Committee overwhelmingly defeated an amendment to cut $300 in grant military assistance to Israel. During mark-up of the foreign aid bill on May 10. the Committee voted 18-6 to reject the amendment offered by Rep. Joel Pritchard (R-VVash.) to restore the Administration's original aid request for FY 1984. The Administration had sought $660 million in grant military aid for Israel; the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe and the Middle East unanimously recommended $850 million. Pritchard said that the Subcommittee's increase "doesn't make good sense now . . . and I think we should stay with the Administration." Rep. Lee Hamilton (Dlnd), chairman of the Subcommittee, defended hi* panel's recommendation. He cited Israel's "sluggish economic performance and growing debt service to the United States." He stated, "Most of us want

to maintain Israel's technological edge and superiority in military affairs." The recent agreement between Israel and Ix-banon was "a substantial step forward and it would be unwise for the Committee to cut (Israel] back sharply after it has taken this move towards peace," Hamilton added.

One last look at 1943 before we put it away. By today's standards the following item might belong to the "what was that?" department: The Jewish Community Center sponsored a "Keep 'Em Smoking" campaign. This was to send Rep. Larry Winn (R-Kans.), the ranking member on the American cigarrettes overseas to our servicemen . . . Middle Bast Subcommittee, agreed with Hamilton's asSo much of the Press dealt with wartime news; an ad sessment. Winn stated that Israel's debt service burden to the U.S. is expected to be over $1 billion by 1983. "It is read "For Liberty and Freedom, buy US Savings Bonds neither in the U.S.'s ot Israel's interest to reach a situation and Stamps". And the UOC Women donated a Chuppah to the Lincoln Air Base. There was a recipe for "economy where Israel couldn't meet its obligation," he said. butter" that called for 'A pound of butter, one egg and '/i Several other members argued that Israel's concessions pint cream.

One last mention of the wan B'nni Jacob requested (in Rep. Stephen Solarz (D-N.Y.) stated that a reduction in late winter) that all who pledged money on Yorn Kippur grant aid would "signify failure to recognize Israel's conces- for European refugee children please pay their pledges! sions and might decrease its willingness to make future What else was going on?

"While we support the President's figures, and prefer the Pritchard amendment, we understand the Subcommittee's action and we don't oppose its recommendations." The five members who supported the Pritchard amendment to cut aid to Israel were Pritchard, Gerald Solomon (R-N.Y), Douglas Bercutcr (R-Ncb.), Gerry Studds (DMoss), and George Crockett, Jr. (D-Mich.). Chairman Clement J. Zablocki (D-Wis.) and Rep. Mcrvyn Dymnlly (D-Calif.) abstained.

Off spring of Soviet newcomers % study in job-rich fields By Ben Gollob • Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc. College-age children of Soviet Jewish immigrants who have settled in western' New York since the Soviet Union opened its doors for Jewish migration a decade ago have caught up with American-born Jewish youth in one major respect — they are studying in fields in which there arc many job opportunities. i

Sophia Goldin, a caseworker at the Jewish Family Service (JFS) of Buffalo and Erie Country — where joblessness ranges aa high a» 20 percent — said 90 percent of the older children of the remaining Soviet newcomers are studying computer programming, according to the Buffalo Jewish Review. The high jobless rate has been a principal reason why about half of the 400 Soviet Jews who settled in the area have moved to other parts of the country in hopes of finding better job opportunities, aa well as bigger communities of Soviet Jewish newcomers. . Shirley Field, JFS Russian resettlement supervisor, said that many of the 200 Soviet Jews who have left, particularly younger singles, have migrated to California, and to Philadelphia, Rochester, Houston and New York City in search of better opportunities. He said the jobless rate among area Soviet Jews is estimated as between five and ten percent, which is considerably higher than the rate they eiperienccd in the Soviet* Union where the government, as sole employer, seeks to provide all person* with jobs. A few of the Soviet Jews have managed to establish businesses but many feel they have jobs which pay less than they believe they are entitled to on the basis of their training, according to Dr. Steven River, JFS vice president An electrical engineer who came to Buffalo three years ago, Greg Shershnevsky, asserted that "wo are doing a little better than the average Americans," adding that "if our people lose a job, we accept any job for any salary, which most Americans don't."

Soviet Jewish settlers in Buffalo during the past ,'i'/j years, said the propects for unemployed Soviet Jews are as bleak as for other jobless residents in western New York. Malek, a whole diamond distributor, said flatly "Buffalo is worse. The economy is worse here." . ,• Malek, who makes his job appeals for Soviet Jews during calls on his customers, uses the theme that, in most coses, the Soviet newcomers "are more dedicated than the averaged worker." According to the news weekly, Malek has found jobs for Soviet newcomers in engineering, computer programming, chemistry and factory work.

They arrived in this strange unknown place called Omaha about three year* ago, after a long and hard trip. They had left behind everything they knew, all their friend*, even relatives. The Kosinovfiky family is one of the fortunate one» able to leave Russia for freedom. There are thousands still wailing and wanting very much In leave, but denied the right tn emigrate. When the Kosinovsky family came to the United States, it certainly took them a while to adjust to this unknown country, its culture and learn this strange language called English. However, they have certainly done a bcuutilul job adjusting and making Omaha'their new home.

Mrs. Kosinovsky, l-cnh, also has a very good job now. She is a chemical engineer, employed by Control Data Corporation. She is satisfied with her job which is a rather challenging one. Besides being a good chemical engineer, Ijcoh is also a very good mother. She has done an excellent job raising two children, dreg, 16, and Zarina, 10. <5res attends Burke High School, where he will be a senior next fall. Greg is an exceptional student who is interested in computers, math and science. Thin Bummer he is planning to attend Physics/Astronomy summer section at the University of Iowa. Greg is also planning to go to college after his graduation from Burke High and study Engineering. Zarina, the youngest one in the family, in enrolled in George Cattin Elementary School and will be o sixth grader next fall. Zarina is a bright student. She has done well in every subject she han taken. Zarina is also taking music lessons at home and plays piano. Although she still gets a little nervous in front of the audience and prefers to practice in the privacy of her room, she will, certainly, soon overcome her shyness and let others hear the lieautiful music that she plays. Perhaps, everything was different when they came here. Perhaps, it was hard to adjust. Despite all the difficulties, the Koiinovskys have adjusted well, and they are happy that they are here in the United States, e»IH'cially Omaha. "It's good to be in Omaha," they all said. "We are happy here!"
