Zero population growth endangers Jewish survival Study shows decline NEW YORK -±- The world Jewish population U dropping below the point of Zero Population Growth and in beginning a numerical decline that will accelerate in year* to come, according to a study now being published by the JDC/Brookdale Institute of Gerontology ond the Hebrew University institute of Contemporary Jewry. The study notes that despite the decrease in total Jewish population there will be an increase in number of Jewish elderly, particularly among the "old-old," people over age 75, and particularly in Israel, where the number in this category is txpected to jump lf>0% in the quarter century between 1075 and the year 2000. JDC President Henry Taub called the report "a significant study with implication* that demand the immediate attention of thoiic concerned with the viability of the Jewish community." JDC Executive Vice-President Ralph I. Goldman described the report n» offering "a major world-wide challenge which, in I«racl, will roach crisU proportions." While the study, "Elderly Jews in the World," which was written by Professor U.

O. Schmelz, predicts a drop in the number of Jews in the Diaspora from 9.6 million to 8 million in lens than twenty yean — the study also predicts a sharp rise in the number of elderly, particularly among the "old-old" whose numbers will reach an es-. timoted 910.000 by the year 2000. Nearly 100,000 of these are expected to be living in Israel. One consequence of the shifting demographics noted in the study is the fact that by the end of the century one out of every five elderly Jews will live in Israel, as compared with one out of right today. The JDC/Brookdale Institute of Gerontology in o project of the .IDC and was funded by the Brookdale Foundation complex of New York, the JDC and the Israel government. JDC is the overseas arm of the American Jcwixh community and is actively engaged in the rescue, relief and rehabilitation of Jews and Jewish communities in over 30 nations around the world. It receives the hulk offts income from the campaigns of the American Jewish communities through the United Jewish Appeal.

Conference planned NEW YORK - The first nationwide conference of major Jewish organizations to deal with the "catastrophic" decline in the Jewish birth rate over the past half-century that has made Jews "on endangered species" will be convened Oct. 31. The conference, sponsored by 25 national, educational, cultural, civic and roligious Jewish organizations, which will take place at the Minskoff Cultural Center, 164 East (58th Street, in New York City, will attempt, according to the organizers, to halt the projected acceleration of the decline in the next few decoded. Stressing the vital need for the National Conference on Jewish Population Growth, Yehuda Itosenman, director of the Jewish Communal Affairs department of the American Jewish Committee, one of the organizeni of the Conference, stated that by the end of the century, the Jewish community in the United States would be reduced by approximately 25 percent. Dr. Robert Gordis, editor of Judaism. Professor Emeritus of Bible and Rapoport Professor in the Philosophies of Religion at the Jewish Theological Seminary, and chairman of the Conference, asserted that "the drive to avoid oblivion answers deep human instincts that transitory fashion and fleeting life styles may obscure and even suppress, but not permanently destroy." Dr. Gordis added: "There is growing evidence that the deep human instinct for children which has been out of fashion during

the recent post has not been destroyed. Rachel's pathetic cry to Jacob, 'Give me children or I perish,' is deeper than the vagaries of fashion or the shifting tides of style," A key element in the formation of the Conference was n major article by Dr. Gordis in the August-September, 1982 Midstream, entitled "Be Fruitful and Multiply", in which he cited that injunction as the first commundment of the Bible. Endorsing Dr. Gordis's approach to the Jewish birth rate problem, Mr. Rosenman noted that "we recognize that the decision to hove children is personal, and that the community as a whole cannot tell people what to do.1' Hut, terming the Jews "an endangered opecies" at a time when the povertystricken communities of the world are experiencing a population explosion, Mr. Rosenman said that the community "can create a climate of opinion and raise the consciousness of people — both on a personal level and in terms of the Jewish community." The American Jewish Community's concern with the Jewish family is evidenced by its role in the National Conference on Jewish Population Growth, Mr. Rosenman said, and by its sponsorship of the William Petschek National Jewish Family Center, which determine? the major stresses threatening Jewish family life and seeks to ameliorate them.

Israel Ballet to appear The Iirael Ballet is scheduled to perform In Omaha on April 30,1984, during the 1084 tour of 40 cities. The ballet company baa not performed in the United States since 1081, Following Its successful tour here, the company entered the International Dance Festival at Santiago, Chile, where it won first prize for choreography. The work which won the award, "Dvorak Variation*" by Berts Yampolsky, co-founder of the company, is expected to be performed during the 1084 tour. The Israel Ballet, founded In 1967 By Hillel Markman and Berta Yampolsky, has attracted the attention of many International choreographers such as George Balanchine and has had many great artists such as Edward Vlllela, Alexander Gudonov and Leslie Browne.

One year ago, Alexander M. Haig, Jr., stunned the world by abruptly resigning as Secretary of State. Because he was Israel's best friend in tho Reagan Administration, his departure signalled the beginning of downhill relations between Israel and the United States. Now, in an exclusive interview with Washington correspondent Trudo Fcldman, Haig gives bis personal reflections of that period. By Trade Fcldman Washington correspondent

Alexander M. Haig, J r . any Israeli action in Lebanon should be only the result of an internationally recognized provocation, and that the response should be proportional to that provocation. Following his charge, President Carter explained to me that he had received his information from what he termed a reliable source in Israel. He implied that when he brought it to the attention of the national security council in the White House, it was •never denied, inferring he then felt free to mako the public charge. In retrospect, did Israel do the right thing (to invade Lebanon)? H a i g : History will have to judge. But clearly, the outcome — a year later — suggests that the consequences of the Israeli action for reasons not under Israel's control, have not improved the situation; indeed, may have set the peace process back, and raised the risks of broader conflict. Was the Israeli incursion into Lebanon a. surprise to you? > Haigi Hardly. Israel had put^he United States, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), and the world at large on notice that its patience had been exhausted and that there would be a sharp reaction on the occasion of the next attack on Israeli' citizens within larasi or abroad.

With her beautiful thick white hair and her unlined complexion *b* seems much younger than her actual years. Possibly one of tbe reasons for her appearance ia that ahe has stayed so active over the yean. For the past 10 years, she has worked for the ADL/ CRC. When asked why ahe chose this type of volunteer work, she replied: "I like liberal organizations and also take pride in the fact that I can do something in the fight against anti-Semitism." She likes the idea that she can be of help, even in a small way, in defending Jewish interests and human rights. Ida's job entails monitoring the media for controversial material. She then clips, prepares and paste* the information. The material is then duplicated and filed and sent to National ADL, regional ADL offices and the Israeli Consulate. She does this volunteer work every Monday and at other times when she is needed. She serves en urgent need in our community by helping to inform the public about Israeli policies and controversial material at home. The material that she complies also provides news editors with accurate information. Ida Giller is juit one of the many volunteers in our community who does a necessary job with no thought of praise or gain for herself. The entire community is the beneficisry of her hours of dedication and fine work.

On July 8, the Jewish Press published a letter to the editor written by Rabbi Sidney H. Brooks "deploring" the judgment of the Jewish Press in printing Kahane's words.

Look at what they have done in the past year alone. They agitated civilian Israel end aroused it against the army fighting at the front; they incited again*t us enemies abroad, firming them with various accusations; they threw into the trash can every concept of "sub judica" when the Knhan Commission was dealing with the charges against the government and the army, they launched a personal lynch campaign against everyone who stood in their way.

Rabbi Kahane's article was an outright attack on Reform Jews and Reform rabbis, a minority attack from a gelf-professed radical.

The purpose served in presenting the Kahane article and the Greenberg article were one and the same: To educate and inform tbe Jewish community of Omaha. Without education and information of this sort, it is unlikely that one can understand the Orthodox stranglehold on Jewish life in Israel, and the inability of Reform and Conservative movements to make progress there in obtaining equal rights. We regret that many of our readers interpreted the newspaper presentation as a Jewish Press attack on the Reform Jews of Omaha. For causing any of our readers pain or anguish, I most readily apologize. For letting them know about the real world, there need be no apology.

I will leave it to others to answer Kahnne'a mendacious and obscene nonsense about Reform Judaism. Dr. Murray Frost To the Editor: • I protest the letter in the J e w i s h Press of July I. In my opinion, it was poor judgment in choosing this and there should have been a word of explanation about Meir Kahane. I would hope that this docs not reflect the attitudes of our community. IUo B . BrodJtey To the Editor: It might have been wiser for you to stick by your policy

J of not publishing unsigned letters. Having done so in the July 2 issue of the Jewish Prcti seems to emphasize a growing bias of your editorial and news content. A comprehensive analysis of the content of the Jewish Press over the p u t few year* would graphically show that subject selections, number of column inches devoted to them, and page placement of articles, have become dramatically eiewtd toward some divisive orthodox viewpoint*. Typical of this was the publishing of the Kahane letter. It is also an action comparable to your printing diatribes from other radicals such as William Curry and Everett Sileven. While Kahane may technically be a rabbi, he certainly is no teacher and, most assuredly, is not my "brother" in any eense of the word. Being persona non grata in Israel and elsewhere is ample testimony t o Kahane'a being little more than an Haaidk militant and dangerous cuJtiat. Witness hit activities with the Jewish Defense League. While he may be a mnven on rabble-rousing, he is not en authority, on who is or isn't a Jew. His credentials arc as suspect as they appear wanting. That you would devote to mud) space to publishing his nonsense leads me to question your knowledge, awareness, or concern about the characteristics, background, traditions, and beliefs of your constituency. As to your apparent inclinations concerning the merger of two Omaha congregations, which U probably why you published an unsigned letter, here again you appear to be trying to be the voice of a community about which you seem to know so little. The hallmarks of this community include o grand spirit of cooperation and mutual respect, with understanding and great tolerance for differing ways -— all without diminishing our basic and shared beliefs as Jews. It seems to me and others with whom I've talked that the Jewish Preu is fast becoming a cutting and fractious wedge among those beneficial and friendly relationships. It will be interesting to see how you treat this letter and whether you'll further promote your beliefs by editing it out of context — if you publish it at all. Is the Jewish Presa an unbiased, open forum or a captive parrot?

AJon Farter Editor's note:

If tho Jewish Press were a "captive parrot" rather than an "open forum", Kahane't article- would not have been published.

Tlsha B'Av (9th of ) once more, with (ambivalent) feeling By Dr. Irving Grcenberg Director, National J e w i s h Resource Center When summer comes, Tisha B'Av (the 9th Day of Av) is not far behind. Every year, when Tisha B'Av comesdose, I get the same rush of feelings: conflict and ambivalence. Should I observe it this year? Part of me wants to run out to the bulk of American Jews who have forgotten the day and shout: "Wake up! This is one of the most incredible days of Jewish history." On this day, the first Temple was destroyed in 686 B.C.E. and with it, the first Jewish state. On this day, the Second Temple was destroyed in 70 C.E. and with it the second Jewish commonwealth. On this day in 135 C.E., the city of Betar was crushed and the last gasp of Jewish sovereignty in Israel was choked out for 1900 years. This is the wont single day in Jewish history — again and again! (The rabbis believed that the Gotden Calf was worshipped and that Moses broke the tablets of. the Law on this day. The Nazis decreed the deportation of Warsaw Jewry to Treblinka start on this day,) Yet what an incredible statement of Jewish life Tisha B'Av is. Most people blot out their defeats and celebrate their victories. No one likes to remember disaster. But on this day, for 1900 years, Jews gathered in the synagogues, look off the curtain of the Ark, dimmed the lights, sat on the floor, told the story of the destruction and wept bitterly and inconsolably. Those bitter tears kept alive the memory of Paradise Lost — i.e., Israel. No matter what pleasure or acceptance the local people or culture offered. Jews vividly relived the toss of Jerusalem and stayed in wile psychologically.

of bride" (Jeremiah 33, v. 10-11). • - ."• Every year, a protest rises inside of me as the cantor intones, "Comfort, O I/)rd . . . the city (Jerusalem! that is in mourning laid waste, despised and desolate . . . because she is without her children..." I want to get up, stop the Service, and cry: "It's not so. I've heard the children, hundreds of them, laughing and playing and running free in the Jerusalem Forest Park — just below Yad Vashem..." I don't want to shock or disrupt; so every year, I swallow my gorge and sit defeated while the service goes on through its familiar deeply set course of conventional mourning. My friends feel the same ambivalence but they don't say it so openly. They tell me: The Temple is not yet rebuilt. The spiritual wound is{ far from healed. I agree — but it's not as if nothing has happened. Do I get no pleasure from my child until the child is totally grown and out of the house safe and sound? Every step has been a joy and my wife and I don't act as if we are still childless. Some of my friends try to give Tisha B'Av continuing power by incorporating the Holocaust into the mourning. There should be a prayer inserted but I instinctively know that incorporating the Holocaust is the wrong move. The Holocaust is too devastating, too total. Let it be mourned and expressed in its own day — Yom HaShoah — and in its own way. This wound — the loss of sbveriegnty and spirit — Is being healed. Let us start practicing to be free and happy again. One friend of mine — a Tierce Zionist' — on tbe Tisha B'Av after the Six Day War finally took his son into an inner room on Tisha B'Av afternoon and mode kiddush and they broke the fast together. The gesture was too Sabbatian for me. I am trying to raise my children with a deep respect for tradition and I fear that the dissonance of that act would be too shattering for them. And what about those' hundreds of years of faithfulness and fasting? Am I to dismiss them?

Moving experiences By Bert Lewis * Have you moved lately? I mean from someplace where you lived for many, many yean? If you have, you'll understand my story; if you haven't let me explain the real meaning of the phrase vay-is-meer! We'll be moving in a few months, from the house we've lived in for the last 30 yean. We raised four kids, one beagle, one demented terrier and one standard poodle within the somewhat limited space. We managed nicely, and Gott-tsudanken everybody turned out ok. True, we were crowded, but we always called that condition "a lived-in look". Closets, drawen, cupboards and every available corner did yeomen's service, and my kids saved everything. I mean EVERTHING! To get back to our move: first we have to sell the house, right? That means we have to make it look really great. Translation: paint, repair, clean-up and generally do for some stranger all the things I've been wanting to do for years... for me. Never mind; let's start with painting. That includes closets, which must first be emptied. Now we're getting to the traumatic part. You wouldn't believe the assortment of things I have turned up. How about dozens of Israeli Tree certificates, in memory or honor of everybody my kids ever knew. There was even one in memory of President John Kennedy, proving once and for all, those kids understood both tiedakah AND good citizenship!

Yet they never yielded to despair — "On Tisha B'Av the Messiah is born," taught the Rabbis. The day of greatest tragedy will be the day of greatest joy. Where did they get the infinite patience for 1900 years to fast all day and to end hours of mourning dirges (Kinot) sieging, "Eli, Ziotv" I also found report cards from every school my kids ever ; Another friend suggests that I go to a concert during the "Zion and its cities, lament... like a young woman dressed three weeks of mourning or swim in the week before Tisha attended, whether secular or religious! One truth remained in sackcloth weep for the husband of your youth." constant; they could achieve scholastically, but none of B'Av. Maybe that much dissonance can be handled. them.could keep their mouths shut! Where did they get the strength to spend the three weeks When I was rabbi in a congregation, I used to let out my There were many newspaper clippings t o o . . . yellow and before the day increasing grief and mourning then to end the morning service saying, "For the Lord shall comfort ambivalence on the head of anyone who wept excessively. fragile... representing events concerning family members.

Four generations visit Israel

They called it the "Caplan family miaaion." It waa a group of eight; five year old Maria, her parent*, Allan and Arlen*. Caplan, from Omaha; two teU of grandparent*, Leonard and Ignore Caplan from Pittsburgh, Pa. and Bill and Jean Olejnicki from Chicago; and Great-Grandmother France* Goldstein, Lenore's 83 year old mother alto from Pittsburgh. They left in mid-April to w e Israel, but it wai also a special mission for Leonard Caplan. Mr. Caplan, now 64, served as a bombardier and navigator in the 390th Bombardier Division of the 15th Air Force during World War II. Based first in North Africa, then later in Italy, he flew 35 missions over Europe. During each mission he would tuck sii or seven flyers in the tail of the bombs announcing High Holy Day services in Pittsburgh where his father was cantor. He was hoping one of the flyers would fall into a camp and be read by the Jewish prisoner* so they would know there were people fighting to free them. His family had sent him a news clipping and picture of his father conducting thoso services. He tucked that picture into his wallet. In 1950 he added his father's obituary to it. Then, five weeks before his trip to Ifiroel, hi» eldest hrothrr, Milton, died. Mr. Caplan added the picture and obituary to hitt father*. In Israel, standing at the Wall with hi» ton, Allan, lwside him, he took out both pictures and jobiltinrics «n<l lurked them up high in a deep crevice. Togrther they prayed for the dead and wept. "For nome reason Allan knew I wanted to RO to Isrnel," l/'onnrd f-opltin wiid. "My father and brother never K°t then?. It wns the only picture I hod of my father. Now, they (ire home." Their trip was notable because of their guide Ze've. "He was our guide and friend, and by the end of the tour, he wn» family," Allan wiid. "We are grateful to Allan Greene of the Federation for arranging this." Zc've was bom in Israel 45 yearn ago. is a former Major in the Air Force and is a history expert. Ho currently has an import-export business. Bill Olejnicki Mid it is "the greatest trip anyone can make." He, too, praised Ze've for interpreting MOO years of history and all its significance and meaning for them. Besides all the agriculture progress and rich harvests, Mr. Olejnicki was impressed with the construction materials and equipment they have. He admired their museums, the Knesset, schools and roads. Jean Olejnicki was impressed with how clean everything is including the restrooms. She wants future travelers to know about the bent Chinese restaurant she's eaten in. It b called "Mandy's" in Eilat. "We were very surprised at how well all the people got along, not the governments, not the politics, but all the people, Jews, Gentiles, Moslems, Arabs, "Alan Caplan said. "Even on the Went Bank they were kind and courteous to us. We ate in more Arab restaurants than Israeli." "We have pictures of a restaurant we stopped at for dinner, the Seven Seas," Arlene Caplan said. "Our daughter, Maria, had fallen asleep in the van, it had been

Ze've knew the Arab owner who insisted on helping UB get Maria out of the van. He carried her in and net up Home chairs for her to sleep on and brought her blankets. They were just wonderful. "And I didn't get a feeling of danger there, or tension. The only thing that took place wn» nfter we ute dinner one night in a restaurant.

After you come out, your body immediately rryHtalizen. You're white all over mid you're sticky, but you con tell everyone

r you floated in the Dead Sea." " . -. The Caplana said one of the saddest things tbsy saw was on their tours to the historical sites. They would get out of their van and would see a bus load of school children on a Held trip, like our children here. The difference in the first person off the bus is an armed guard with a machine gun. The children get off next, then the teacher or instructor who is wearing side arms. "They have passed a law in Israel that you are not allowed to take four or more children on a field trip without armed escorts," Allan Caplan said. 'The terrorists, the PLO over there aren't very brave. They feel much more comfortable attacking children than military installations." They were disappointed in some of the hotels they stayed at. When planning a trip to Israel, they suggested making reservations from the States at all Hilton Hotels. . "Some five star hotels they reserve for you are at best three star," Allan said. Allan Caplan, Senior Vice President of WATS Marketing of America, Inc., a tele-marketing business, also noted, "One conception I had was of the invincible Jewish businessman, and how good they are in business. But, most of the businessmen in Israel verge on being terrible. The business conducted over there is not nearly as aggressive no Omaha, which to me, is not n very aggressive marketing city.

MelaKimpi AN OPEN LETTER TO THE SOVIET ANTI-ZIONIST COMMITTEE IN MOSCOW We in the West have come to take the Soviet Union for granted, , We have come to expect your government, as a matter of course, (o twist and distort the truth. We are accustomed to your government's selfserving rhetoric and hysterical polemics, And because we are so used to crude and heavyhanded Soviet propaganda - and because we know it for what it is - we. too often, fail to respond. This time H Is dilferent. On June 6, your organization (formed only six weeks ago with the backing of the Kremlin) held a press conference in Moscow. Your spokesmen there made some truly remarkable assertions: • the reunification of divided families has "been essentially completed"; • the "vast majority" of Jews who wish to leave the Soviet Union have already received permission to depart; • anti-Semitic discrimination does not exist in the Soviet Union — and Zionism is a "manhating ideology" which is "increasingly modeled on the ideas and methods of Hitler." The irony of your assertions astounds the free world. For it is your oppressive totalitarian regime, which by embracing Hitler's prescription for truth, makes a mockery of the millions of lives sacrificed defeating Hitler. Anti-Semitism is the cornerstone of your government's policy. It is in your newspapers, television programs, the magazines you produce for your children, the training you give to your soldiers, and in the admissions policies of your universities.

Anti-Semitism is manifest in your obscene description of Zionism, the national movement of the Jewish people, as something akin to Hitlerism. We reject these remarks and issue you a challenge. You say family reunification has "beenessentially completed." We say that is false. And to prove our-point, we invite you — here and now — to travel at our expense to Israel and the United States so that you may bring the truth back to the Soviet Union. In both countries you will meet thousands of people who yearn to be reunited with their loved ones Barred from leaving the Soviet Union. You will see that many thousands of exit visas will have to be issued before reunification is, in fact, complete. And we have another challenge tor you. You say that almost all the Jews who want to leave the USSR have already gone. We say that hundreds of thousands would leave if given the opportunity. In fact, more than 750.000 have begun to apply for exit visas by asking for invitations from Israel, and only 260.000 of these people have emigrated. The dispute is easy to solve. Persuade your government to throw open the doors. Announce that any Soviet Jew who wishes to leave will be given permission immediately.

Three attend summer institute

Do you know why stubbornness (not too much, of course!), persistence end perseverance are very good qualities? I shall explain to those who do not know by telling them about Kira and Joseph Pollack. The young couple came from the Soviet Union in October of 1879, almost four years ago. They decided to settle in Omaha because of Kira'» sister Maya who moved to Omaha earlier. As Kira told me, it was rather scary going to Oxnaba because they knew absolutely nothing about it. Once they found out that Omaha was their point of destination, Kira and Joseph had to look it up in the roost recent Soviet Encyclopedia. What they found in the book was not helpful and particularly explanatory. Omaha was described merely as. an agricultural machinery and cattle trading center. Some of tfae couple's friends tried to persuade Kira and Joseph to mow to a slightly more exciting city. However, the couple persisted on going to Omaha, They decided to give it a try anyway and were not disappointed, although these four years in Omaha were cot easy for them, especially Joseph. In the Soviet Union, Joseph had been working as a doctor for four years. After the graduation from the university he had worked for the government in the countrytide of White Russia for three years. Living there was anything but easy. Joseph was finally able to transfer to one of the hospitals in Minsk where he worked as a pediatrician. However, he soon found out that because he was a Jew, he had no opportunity for any professional growth. Joseph was also concerned about his family's future. These were the two major reasons for his leaving the Soviet Union. What a disappointment it was for him to find out that be was unable to practice medicine unless be passed a scries of exams and received a special new license. He also learned that these exams had to be taken in English which he, like almost every immigrant, did not know.

The first Summer Institute in Jewish Aits Administration was held June 2528 at the Hebrew Arts School in New York City, co-epontored by the National Foundation of Jewish Culture. The Institute grew out of the ne«d within the Jewish Community for administrators with strong •kills in the field of Jewish Culture. Attending as representatives of the Omaha Jewish Cultural Art* Council and the Omaha Jewish Community Center Cultural and Performing Arts Department were Ann Kibel Schwartz, director, Alan Potash, ataiitant director, and Martin Skomal, theater artirt-in-residenc*. The following are their impressions and reactions to th* institute. Martin Skomal: Thecol(ecllve influence of Jewish Arts administrators in his country is sizable. The Institute deroonttrated the eagerness of the Jewish Community on a nationwide level for more programming in the arts focused on Jewith themes, culture, and heritage. Particularly, Jewish theater seems to be expanding in new experimental and diversified ways, as was shown by many participants from Jewish theater programs in New

Aa Me»a» the family settled down, Joseph began preparing tot the first exazn with an amazing determination. During the first three months, he did nothing but etody English, practically day and night. Their, once he acquired some English, Joseph immediately started preparing for a special test for Foreign Medical Doctors which be successfully passed in July of 1980. This enabled Joseph to get a job at St. Joseph Hospital aa a respiratory therapist.

Beth Israel just had a fantastic Independence Day Picnic. Kadimah attended and had a terrific time. There wen games, a barbecue, a few water balloon figbta, compliments of Kadimah Board Members, and a huge baseball game. It was great!

Kira waa the one who supported her family while Joseph was studying. Since she graduated from University of Art in Minsk with a master's degree in music, and since she already knew some English, Kira was able to get a job as a piano teacher at the Music Gallery. In addition, temporarily she also worked part-time at Creighton University as an accompanist for ballet.

Stepping back into the pan month of June — at the NCSY National Convention attended by many kids in thia region, that our Scrapbook and Yearbook, both received first piece. Unfortunately I was not able to be there.

Besides being a piano teacher, Kira has also been working at the Nebraska Furniture Mart for two yean. Kira and her husband sincerely appreciate all the support and help that they got from the Jewish Federation of Omaha.

David Salzar received the Shem Tov Award in recognition of outstanding personal qualities.

Although Kira and Joseph teem to be always busy, they devote every minute of their free time to theirfive-yearold daughter Anna, who i» a very lovely child. She has long beautiful dark hair and a charming smile like her mother. Anna is anxious to start kindergarten this fall.

Wendy Weiner was presented with the AUh Da'ot Citation, which acknowledges on NCSY member'a occomplithmenta on behalf of Torah value* that affect

As you can see, the four years in Omaha, indeed, have not been easy for the couple, but Joseph's dream to work as a doctor in the United States is coming true!

After 15 months working at the hospital, once again, he started preparing for the next exam. In order to be able to practice medicine In this country, Joseph had to get a Federal License. It was not an easy task, but his stubborn' ness, perseverance and persistence helped him to go through with it. Joseph got bis license In June of 1SS2. It enabled him to start his residency program at UNO Medical Center. He is working there now and enjoys it very much, Joseph is also very grateful to his wife Kira for her moral and financial support throughout these hard four years.

1959 . . . now that was a good year. You could buy a pound of pickled tongue (or 59* (on special) or a pound of pressed corned beef for $1.50. Of course you remember pr«»»ed corned beef, don't you? And at Harry's there was kosher poultry "killed daily". That was at 1314 North 24tb. One more item that was available that year a genuine camel hair ladies coat — $59.95! (I'd like one at that price today.) You could have d buffet lunch at the Town House, where on alternate Friday they featured a style show. And even as late as 1959 the phone company was still advertising extension phones as a big deal. Lots and lots of babies arrived that year, but i will only name Murray Kutler, Mark 1'red and Edye Rice and there were bar and bos mttzvah* in great numbers: Ted Sanford, Billy Ginsburg, Arnold VVeitz, Ira Raznick, Laurence Batt, Ellen Zelinsky, Barbara Chudacoff and Neil Simon were some. Nancy Richards was named honorary colonel of the Centra] Hi ROTC and Maureen Zevitz received the AE Phi best pledge award at the University of Illinois. The first has mitzvah in Alaskan history occurred at Elmendorf Air Force Base. The celebrant was the daughter of an army captain, and was prepared for tbe event by Alaska's only rabbi. (All of this made me curious enough to see what the story is on Jews and rabbis in Alaska today. I learned that there are some 960 .Jewish people, no Conservative synagogue, a Reform rabbi with a congregation of 80 families and no Orthodox representation.) That year the I'rctw noted the Jewish High School graduates: three at Benson, one at Tech, two at Westside and 76 at Central.

New maps show West Bank not Jordan's

By Joseph Polakoff WASHINGTON Thousands of U.S. official maps of the Middle Rant being published and to be issued by federal government agencies in the coming weeks wilt be different from what they have been for decades. The cause is the pcrautence of Martin Miller, a keen Washington observer of the Arab-Israeli situation who took up errors with the Slop Department and won his case after much effort.

Miller pointed out that the maps distributed by the Department show the West Hank and the Haahemtte Kingdom of Jordan to be in the same color. This Riven the impression the West Hank is Jordan's. Inasmuch as the area has been under hrntli administration since 1967 and the Camp David accords of 1978 provide for negotiations for iu future. Miller contended it should not be in Jordan's color.

as a professor of geography at the University of Rhode Island, began checking official maps and found Milter was completely right. Alexander said (in an interview with this reporter) he docs not know from where the original map came. " I t looked like someone had stretched it." he laid of the one-color job for Jordan and the West Hank. "It's been done for yearn." He advised the Department'* Near Bast Asia bureau about his findings and, after a decision by policy makers, the bureau put through the orders to all federal mapping agencies to make the necessary changes in new map*. Alexander said that in the new Near East roan* the colors for Israel, Jordan and the Wcxt Bank/Gaza will be distinctly different — like yellow, green and purple, but not necessarily those colors. Each agency will decide on colors but they will be different. Furthermore, two statements will appear on the maps, Alexander said. One will note tbe West Bank's status la to be determined and tbe other that it is " I s - ' raeli-otcupkd," Alexander said. The earlier maps reported tbe West Bank as Israeli-occupied but did not mention future determination. The State Department itself, Alexander noted, docs not print mapa but relies on other federal organizations like the UJB. Information Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of Commerce for drawing and printing. It acquires some for distribution to all UJ3. embaaaiea and consulates around the world.

By Rifka Rosenweln NEW YORK (JTA) William Bennett, chairman of the National Endowment or the Humanities (NEH), said that a film about Palestinian women produced under a $120,000 grant from the NEH was a "political tract" and his agency therefore-had "no rightful business in funding" it.

'Political tract1 ceiving a complaint from the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith (ADD claiming that the film was "unabashed propaganda for the Palestine Liberation Organization." "I have seen thefilm,and I personally think the AntiDefamation League is right," he said, "Nothing of this film is in the humanities; there is no understanding, nor appreciation of the humanities to be

gained by viewing the film," he added. An NEH spokesman noted that the money for the film was granted in 1980, before Bennett's term as chairman had begun. The 30-minute film, "Women Under Seige," prepared for use in high schools and colleges, "glorifies the PLO," said Nathan Perlmutter, ADL's national director.

An open letter to Jewish parents — When your children want to come on afiya By Dvora Wayiman "You're doing a terrible thing to your parents!" Do the words sound familiar? Maybe you've even used them yourself if your children have come to you saying that they want to go on 'Aliya' — to come horns to Eretz Israel. Several young people contacted me after reading my book: "To Any Jewish Teenager", in which I explained the eenttality of Iarael and Zionism to Jews, and offered 'Aliya' es • challenging adventure, and the most worthwhile thing a young Jew could do with his life. The response from all the young people waa identical; "The hardiest part of coming on 'Aliya' is persuading your parents to let you do it". Afraid of Aliya Why are «o many parents afraid of the word 'Aliya'? The word limply means going up' — a spiritual ascent when a Jew cornea to Eretz Israel. Many of you think of yourselves as strong supporters of Israel. You donate money; work for Israeli causes, use your political pressure in Israel's interests; visit frequently as tourists; and send your children to summer camp, on kibbutz working holidays, or even for a year of study in a Yesliiva or for college credits. But when your «on or daughter wants to make a real commitment, then you panic and u.«c all kinds of emotional blackmail to get them to change their mind*. Of course it is understandable. 'Aliya' is not possible for all parents — you may have businesses or job* that can't

b# left; other children who are married, at school or simply satisfied to stay put; even elderly parents to care for. You t fee) that you are too old to leant a new l&ngusge and s new lifestyle; to trade in the financial and emotional security you now have for a big (step into the unknown. These are all valid arguments and you may of cout&e be of help to Israel from your home in the Diaspora. What do they find? Rut your children... that is something elite. You cannot understand why they would want to leave a loving home with every material comfort, for a new life so far from the family circle, where young men end women wilt also have to share the military burden. The whole thing frightens you, and although you can come to terms with the idea of them going away to college, or iven of having their own apartment. 'Aliya' is a terrifying concept. Most young people who want to come on 'Aliya' have already spent «ornr time in Israel* Thi» is what they found. First, they were no longer a minority in a gentile society. The whole of Israel was their extended family . . . supportive and caring when they needed them. It is a magnificent fueling to feel solidarity with everyone else — you celebrate the Jewish festivals and the national holidays together with the whole of Israel — a Jew in a Jewish land. It is not a matter of being religious. It is a matter of identity — of knowing who you are; what you believe in; what you stand for. It U a matter of sharing a common dratiny with everyone — a year of peace {or one will be a year of peace for nil; and it is a thrill to hear everyone in Israel greet each other and say goodbye to each other with the word "Shalom" — peace. More meaningful Next it is an adventure and a challenge. There is nothing ymir s-on or daughter can do with Ms life more meaningful than using it to help build a new country, a homeland. Everything that happens in Israel he will be involved with — ftorn the opening of a new road to the discovery of o new breed of tomato. When you're here, you ba»k in the reflected glory of every good thing that happens; just as you grieve communally for the bad. But you are part of it — of everything that happen* — in a way you never could be anywhere else. It is your country, your people. No work that your children undertake in Israel is considered menial.
