Speaker emphasizes role of Hadassah
The vice president of the Indiana-Illinoie region of Hadasuh spoke last week at the installation meeting of the Omaha chapter of Hadassah. ' Goldie Dellsy of Highland Park, 111. told the Hadassah women their support is needed now more than ever as the war in Lebanon puts a new burden on Hadassah as it tries to carry on its programs in Israel. "Every Hadaiuah project in Israel is being affected by the political situation and Hadassah's budget must grow to accommodate the changes," said Mrs. Dellsy. Mr*. Dellsy reminded the women that the three Hadassah hospitals in Israel aw "tertiary" institutions which serve only persons who cannot afford treatment elsewhere, and that Hadaxsah medical services work "hand in hand" with the Israeli Army on the
Goldie DelUy front. She said Had&ft&ah is the second largest employer in Israel, second only to the government of the country. Mrs. Dellsy emphasized the importance of Hadassah being able to carry on its youth aliyah program. She xaid Hadassah needs help to carry on its rescue of children from Russia, Iran, Ethiopia, and the Latin American countries.

The JCC Senior High Department requested funding for the initial phase of a two phase project. Phase I, funded by the Esther K. Newman Grants Committee, will allow the viewing of the videotape, "Ear* to listen . . . Eyes to See." In this film, produced in Toronto, teenagers share thoughts and feelings about Jewish life, sexuality, intermarriage, assimilation and other topics of concern. After the film has been viewed by the Senior High Committee and community professionals, formal recommendations will be made for using the film to its greatest potential. This could include utilization as a teaching tool to facilitate •null group discussions for both parents and teens, or as a mode) for making a sim-
ilar film with Omaha Jewish teens, and/or a parent response film. "Computer Assisted Instruction" is an ongoing program of Beth Israel synagogue which will be utilized in the new United Talmud Torah and the Jewish Day School. This proposal was submitted to obtain additional equipment to expand the capabilities of the current computer equipment. The computer assisted instruction has been an outstanding program since it wan originally funded in 1980. "We are very pleased with the quality of programs that were submitted for consideration by the Committee," said Harvey Cooper, Chairman of the Either K. Newman Grants Committee. "In the past, need money has provided the impetus for creative programs that have benefited our community such as the Learning Disabiiilics program and the computer assisted instruction. The Grants Committee will meet again in the fall and organizations will have the opportunity to submit new proposals.

AMW projects updated By David Dlttner A national vice-president of American Mizrachi Women WON in Omaha recently to give (in update on the success of AMW projects in Israel. Mrs. Verrt Cohen of New York City fcpoke lust Sunday evening nt Beth Israel Synagogue at an AMW dinner honoring Morrie nnd Mollie Franklin. Mrs*. Cohen Kaid AMW currently maintains in projects in Israel. One of. the newest of these, she said, involves a totally new concept in homes for children, talented at Tel Huanan near Jerusalem-, she mi id, nnd culled Beth Hnyeled, the new fucility serves us a residence for 144 children, aged H-12, living in groups of a dozen "families." Koch "family," ftaid Mrs. Cohen, consist* of \'l children and a young couple who serve as foster parents to them. The children of each "family" share three l>cdrooms, and each couple is given its own small apartment, consisting of bed' room, living room, kitchen and dining area, she said.
Mrs. Cohen said that the children of Beth Hayeled are not orphans, but the children of poor purents who ciinnot care for them. In a country where Ashkcna/im und Oriental Jews are often "at odd.s" with each other, said Mrs. Cohen, the children und foster purents, all of whom come from different backgrounds, learn from each other nnd get along with each other "iH'iiutifully." Mrs. Cohen also reported "excellent progress" at two •'children's villages" in Israel — Kefar Bntyu at KamiaMa.aiu) Kefur Nourat 1'etuch Tikvah. Al these institutions, established decodes ago, Imys nnd girls aged 12-17 nre trained in agricultural, technical, and other vocational skilln nnd also receive on education in academic subjects, she said. An especially important activity at these villages, said Mrs. Cohen, in the Israeli answer to the Arncricun R.O.T.C. In order to lie available as "bnck-up"-mcn for Holdicrs in wartime, nhisaid, the hoys prepare for jet
and tank duty by studying aerodynamics and auto meclmnics. Mrx. Cohen Kaid that three schools at. Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Beersheva which have long been under the directorship of AMW ure doing "exceedingly well" nnd ure Incoming some of the fir«( Israeli schools to offer computer sciences at the high wliool level. Things UIHO continue to go well at Beth Zciroth high schools nil over Israel, said Mrs. Cohen, where religious girls win learn Jewish virtues and values at the same lime they prepare for a role in Ihe society and economy of Israel. At liar HUM University, at (lush Dan, said M ' B . Cohen, AMW hnve started a high school to prepare gifted children of both nexeft for careers in technology and engineering. Mrs, Cohen &aid. that at a time when the Israeli economy is being strained by the "ravages" of war and problems of security, it is more important' than' eVer*for AMW W continue. '

Back on track Relations between the United States and Israel are . improving rapidly and we applaud President Reagan and Secretary Shultz for helping bring this new situation about. Since the withdrawal agreement signed by Israel and Lebanon, the U.S. has agreed to lift the ban on shipment of F16s to Israel and President Reagan has invited Prime Minister Begin to visit Washington. President Reagan also has gone on record with regard to Israeli settlements on the West Bank. His clear statement declares openly and loudly that Israeli settlements are NOT AN OBSTACLE TO PEACE. He thus sharply refutes statements by former Presidents Carter and Ford as well as the thinking and expressions of top administration spokesmen over the past several months. The President made his declaration last week in a telephone coll to the annual convention of the American Jewish Press Association in Coral Springs, Florida. J
"' The fact that be agreed to hold a telephone press conference with Jewish editors also was seen as a sign of improving relations between the President and millions of Jewish voters. Mr. Reagan epoke to about 40 editors and publishers via the telephone hookup and reasserted his strong support of Israel. This was the second time that the President had addressed the group. During the 1980 campaign, he called the editors in Washington white he was in California. During the conversation, the editors expressed the hope that the President would have a face-to-face meeting with them in 1984 when their annual convention takes place in Washington. He indicated tentative approval of the idea. The President's statement that the West Bank settlements are not an obstacle to peace was said to be his Btrongest yet in support of Israel. He was not as forthcoming when asked about United States recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the move of the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv. He said it was not proper to express nn opinion now prior to any negotiations taking place. This statement was seen as a contradiction to his . -l980,vieWi but as a necessjiry orte because of his com.^Xut^tent totfafc' September* peace plan. Mr. Reagan's telephone call went a long way toward mending fences with the editors, and hopefully, this is a sign of further improvement in relations with Israel. -V

(IMPS 2TM20)
By Arnold F o n t e r Continued from last week, the following interview witb noted historian Barbara Tuchman w a s conducted by Arnold Forstcr, general counsel of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, for a forthcoming film in ADL's "Dateline Israel" television series: FORSTER: Was this not the background against which Hitler, Nazism, triggered further Jewish movement to Palestine years later? TUCHMAN: No, first, at the beginning of the 20th Century, there w u the period when the Rothschilds helped establish the vineyard* and the wine growing industry in Palestine, the period when they cleared the sand dunes and established Tel Aviv, which didn't exist before the Jew* came. It bad been just a beach. People nowadays, here in this country, have only a vague idea of how the Jews got there. They think Jews somehow dropped out of the iky, seized territory and dispossessed the Arabs. In fact, the Jews who arrived in that period bought the land from the Turkish landlords who didn't care two bits about their. Arab tenants. They sold to the immigrants usually what they thought of as valueless land. Hitler did not stimulate any great immigration — except after the war — because they could not get out under Hitler. FORSTER: You have written that with the creation of Israel, the Jews — and I quote you — "grew a new face." Whet did you mean? TUCHMAN: I had in mind that Israeli officer who said that Jewish sorrow had gone out of their eyes. First of all, it comes from self-respect. When you respect yourself, when there in self-esteem, you look different, a new face. FORSTER: You said it another way. You wrote that native-born Israelis do not wail, that the Wailing Wall itself now has a different meaning. Is the Israeli Jew a very changed person from the historical Wandering Jew? TUCHMAN: Yes, I think so. Because he has o Male, a status, a citizenship, a territory.
London or Paris, the original Jerusalem but available to everybody.
FORSTER: All right, the Israelis have their nation, their state. They've rebuilt their country, its cities. What about the quality of life — principles, ethics, codes of conduct? TUCHMAN: That's really for them to say; I cannot speak for Israel. I know that in the earlier days of' ideological Zionism, they had very high ideals about the state they wanted to create; a state directed first toward self-respect and then to i n mission to mankind, something which Jews have felt since Abraham. Just as our own Founding Fathers, the American people of the 18th Century hod a mission, a belief that we were creating a new kind of nation in contrast to the wicked old states of Europe. We were not going to be militarist, we were not going to be imperialist, we were not going to be oppressive. We were going to be free, we were going to give every man the vote, every man equality, l i t e ideals and the belief* that created our country were very specific, passionate and persuasive. But, of course, the realities of life eventually eroded them, as most Americans know. Israel has suffered that problem, too. Lost year, we all witnessed ferocious attacks on Israel's actions in Lebanon. And we heard some people carrying on about how Israel is betraying its principles, turning itself into a militarist nation. Like that ess, Tiroerman, who talks about fascism and such stuff. This is why I said that in a sense the Jewish people have represented the human tragedy of the real world Lebanon is the way the game is played. And because the game has been played against Israel by nations using those same tactics, Israel has begun to act in the same Way. I don't think that within Israel the country has changed at all. What it did in Lebanon was justified from the point of view of the State's interest. Unfortunately, it was not well-thought through. Anything that happens there becomes the immediate object of the media's attention, more than almost any other place in the world. And when the media starts, they've got to find conflict, controversy, they've got to find this wailing baby whom they photograph IC timei, the same woman and the same baby. The Israelis, I think, did not appreciate how their campaign to destroy the PLO could be distorted.
FORSTER: You've written trmt the secret of Israel's success in building a nation is motivation and compelling necessity. Now you are saying that with ibU FORSTER: What did you think about the reaction change the Jew is able to be different from his historical in Israel, 400,000 people gathering to protest, in Tel ' personality. Aviv after the incident of the Phalange killings in the J Shatiln and S.ilira neighborhoods of Beirut? TUCHMAN: True. The Jew* of Israel, especially the native born, are different from the traditional Jew that we know in European literature. An I said, that Jew was always vulnerable, no matter what. He never had the rights of hi* neighbor, the non-Jew, no citizens' right*. In Israel, he has every right, he belongs there, he's a citizen. He's it. FORSTER: You said — and again I quote — that Israel was created out of unlimited impossibilities. TUCHMAN: That's the title I used for a piece. What I meant wait that, first of all, it was arid, seemingly uncullivoble. The Jew* look a land which had been destroyed by goats over the centuries; goats will eat everything. The Arabs did nothing. It was the homeland of the Jews and they had to go to it; there was no other. And they mode it into a livable land, irrigated it. The whole concept of Hlow-drijt irrigation was invented by the l*nicli«. And winter wheat, the famous Israeli agriculturist, Aaronson, . invented a kind of wheat that was never cultivated before. And the orange groves and all the many other kinds of new agricultural development that they brought to the country — oil helped to make it livable. In I BOO — and still in 1890 — it was «and dune. When the English in the mid- Kith Century formed the Palestine Exploration Fund for the rediscovery of the Duly IJIIKI, they e*nt mapmakers but found no roads. They went on horseback and camelback across wind. No rondh. This is what Arab habitation accomplished since the Seventh Century when they first arrived. FORSTER: And the City of Jerusalem? TUCHMAN: If you go to Jerusalem now, you find the rediscovery of antiquities which under Arab control had been allowed to decay or l « covered up or get lost or even IK- vandalized. Under Jordan, they used the stones of the Jewish cemetery to build latrines for the legionnaires and to build the Intercontinental Hotel, or at least its foundations. But now, under the Jerusalem Committfc, they are engnged in thai ciiy alone in the extraordinary task of uncovering evidence of.past civilizations, of preserving the Old Walls of the Holy City, the old steps, the Temple Mount, ancient"* structures, Temple ruins and other antiquities. The western half of Jerusalem is not exactly modern, yet it is a new city, a livable and beautiful place — concert halls, a university, museums, swimming pools; schools, parks and all that goes with such a city. Yet it retains its ancient character — the Turkish walls, the rocky bills, the hospitals on the hills, Mount Scopus, its medical school. It is now; tike the center of ancient
TUCHMAN: You asked me what have events done to the people of Israel. This, at least, is one event which shows outsiders that freedom of speech, freedom of thought, of expression, have not diminished within Israel. It is a democratic country, the only one in the Middle East. I would think our policymakers would recognize how very important that is to the United States as we are now so active globally and no concerned with the Middle East and its sources of oil. It should l)e very important to us to retain eomc kind of basic relationship with a country thai ii> unavoidably on our side in the philosophic mine. I think that that reaction in Israel was very descriplive and far more expressive than, for example, was the conduct of the American people with regard to the revelations in Vietnam. With My IJII, for example, everybody 'Wanted to hush it up. And it wn» hushed up, nt lentil an fnr nn ixi&tiible, until they finally hud to haw (i court martial. And even then, didn't our President pardon the fellow or, at least, release hinffrom prison. Mr. Nixon paroled Lt. ('alley and there wan no public outcry- I think the group at My l-ai physically, personally killed JUKI about as many people as were killed at Shntiln who were, we should remember, killed by Ixbunene. Only our soldiers did it themselves with their own guns, their own shooting. I don't know if it was exactly as many but the number isn't so important as the act. But there was no great outcry «r great effort to bring them to justice here. I think the contrast of the two occasions shows the |M?oplc of Israel retain their own democratic characteristics and their self-respect to a very great extent. FORSTER: So now the Israelis arc back in their original homeland and they are, like many other states, the subject of criticism. Israel, for example, with its laws of preference for those of the Jewish faith, has been accused of anti-democratic principles. The United Nations says "Zionism is racism." Do you have a reaction to that? \ TUCHMAN: In that sense, is anybody, conscious of his own identity, racist? I don't sec anything wrong with that. The Jews have always been very conscious of their own identity. You might call it identification, tu well. But people call it racist because they want to use a dirty word. It's become a dirty word in our lexicon for the last .30, 40 years. But it can also be used to represent self-identity, which is a very strong element in Jewish history and what's kept them alive as a people. I don't iiee anything wrong with it.

Marko's Misfits managed to maintain their margin behind the pitching of Larry Rubnck to best the JCC's 15-7. The second game saw Skip's Boychiks break loose in the late innings with some well-placed punches to win a previously tight contest 13-2 over B'nai B'rith.
