EDUCATIONAL NEEDS STILL GREAT The Bureau of Jewish Education now administers seven scholarship nnd loan programs for the Jewish Federation

t*

of Omaha. These programs cover most areas of Jewish education from pre-schoot to graduate school, from camping through Israel Pilgrimages. Nevertheless, costs have risen in ell areas. The cost of the Israel Pilgrimage ha* more than doubled in the last seven, years. Residential camps which provide intensive Jewish programming require trips to other Mates, thereby adding substantially to the co*t of attendance. Most dramatically, the cost of university study has risen greatly. In-state programs ere ctill the -best value, but the University of Nebraska and the various state colleges have witnessed substantial rises in tuition each year. For those who are qualified for special programs not available within the state, the cost can be overwhelming. Despite such heavy financial burdens, the endowment* now in place cannot provide more than a small fraction of the needed funds. Loan*, both private and governmental, are necessary and many students find that they are deeply in debt after the basic four years of college. Anyone who wishes to contribute to the Greenberg, Schrager, or Sherman Funds, or to the David E. Ikber Scholarship Fund (which provides substantial loans to college students at tow interest), the Sandra L. Feldmnn Memorial Scholarship Fund (which grants fellowship* to graduate students), the Carolyn Kully Newman Fund (which provides scholarship* to pre-school students), or the Esther K. Newman Trust (which support* grants for Jewish camping, Israel pilgrimage, and Day School attendance) (•hould contort the Bureau of Jewish Education, 333 S. !32nd Street. Omaha. Nebraska 08154, 333-8200. Formal ocknow!edj:ement of contributions will be «ent to persons designated by each donor. It i* also possible to ftmnd new endowment funds to provide monies for need* that have not yet I w n addrcMtod.

The Consulate General of Israel in Chicago has directed the attention of this newspaper to the decision of the Liberian government to renew diplomatic relations with Israel. * "Obviously, this decision by the government ofLiberia is of great satisfaction to Israel and we hope that other African countries will follow suit. "Undoubtedly, the Arab countries and their supporters in the international community will eiert heavy pressure and criticism on the Liberian government on this issue," said Gabby Levy, Consul for Press and Information. Liberia was colonized and turned into a republic in the 19th century by freed American black slaves. Its civilian president was overthrown in 1980 by a military regime headed by Master Sgt. Samuel Doe, who is now Liberia's president. Liberia, along with other members of the Organization of African Unity, broke diplomatic ties with Israel in 1973 in a show of solidarity with Egypt. The reason for the break — the occupation of Egyptian territory by Israel — no longer exists since Egyptian territory has been restored and Egypt has established diplomatic relations with Israel. Liberia has made it clear that despite its decision io renew ties with Israel, its Middle East policy continues to be based on the belief that a just and lasting peace cannot prevail in the region without due recognition of the rights of the Palestinian people, including the right to a state of their own. In addition, Liberia believes that Israel must withdraw from all occupied Arab land, and that all states in the region including Israel, have a right to live freely within secure and internationally recognized boundaries with full respect for their territorial integrity and sovereignty. Although, on substance, Liberia favors the Arab demands for Israel's withdrawal from the areas captured in 1967, Liberia does not believe that implementation of these demands would be made easier by Israel's continued diplomatic isolation. Liberia, according to Mr. Doe, believes in the settlement of international disputes around the conference table. Liberia is now the second African state to renew ties with Israel. Zaire renewed relations with Israel on May 14, 1982. Israeli sources said Liberia's decision had come after long hesitation and in the face of Arab pressure. These same sources have disclosed that there is a discernible movement among many other African states in the direction of restoring full relations with Israel. One of the motivations apparently encouraging the movement of African suites toward Israel is that better relations with Israel will draw much needed foreign aid from Israel's ally, the United States. The United States connection should not be minimized and at this time we should be paying more attention to the needs of Liberia and Zaire.

Johanna's guide to a new life HAlFA — It has been estimated that about 1,000 person* a year make applications to convert to Judaism in Israel, but only about half of them complete the process. Some complain that preparatory course* given by tome of the rabbis are too cosily. Others tell that they were discouraged because of the dragged out procedures, or because of the hostile attitude of the rabbinate. There i* no doubt that the conversion protests is deliberately nude difficult, almost at a le*t of sincerity. With alt that, there are also Rome bright and encouraging cpots. and word has gone out that a course given to Haifa turns the whole process of study, preparation and eventual conversion into a beautiful end soul-stirring event. Who is the rabbi that gives the course? It is not a rabbi; it is a housewife and mother who has almost unconsciously acquired a new profession. About a dozen yean sgo Johanna Neumann got a call from a local rabbi asking if she could give lessons in Judaism to an English-speaking girl from Britain. Johanna had never tried before to teach Judaism to anyone but her three tons and daughter, but the was willing to try. Since then, more than a scare of girls have found their way to the Neumann home. They have come from Holland, Denmark, Norway, England, Germany, Switzerland and the United State*. Each of them wanted to become a .Jewess. "Of course I realized that most of them looked upon conversion a* a step toward marriage with an Israeli boy," Johanna told me, "but I did not hold that against them. However, 1 did insist that there roust be a genuine desire on their part to be part of the Jewish people. Where I fell that tuch sincerity was lacking. I refused to go on with the course." ' Perhaps her high standards, combined with the spiritual inspiration which the is capable of imparting, have contributed to her success. None of the girls trained by Johanna have ever been turned down by the rabbinical court, and all of them are today still in Israel, practicing a beautiful end fulfilled Jewish life. Her course lasts a year and a half and entails meetings several times a week. There is an extensive reading and ttudy program, and Johanna encourages her girls to come back with questions. Blind acceptance is suspicious, but if

they a*k "why" and "how" she knows they are honestly bearchfng and seeking. Herself a fully observant Jew***, Johanna is a realist and understands that her converts cannot change their way of life wet night. One docs not enter a Mikvoh aa a Christian, she gays, and come out suddenly a Jew. The process is a life-long one. While the would like her girls to observe all the miUvot, she is understanding of the problems. She does require three basic minimum observances: 1. To abstain from non-kosher food like pork products and shellfish; 2. to fast on Vom Kij>pur, 3. to eat no hamelz on Passover. Sabbath observance? She would earnestly hope that her girls would find it possible to do that, and most of them do. but as stated, the is a realist. There has never been any interference from the Christian parenU. To the contrary, she told me, some of the parent* have come around to "qvell" that their "Jewish daughter" has at hut found herself. The Johanna Neumann course is not limited to book* and lecture*. The prospective convert in effect become* for a while a member of the Neumann family. She participates in religious events with the family and often spends the Shabbat weekend as a guest. The interview* with the rabbi* are not always a pleaumt experience, Johanna admit*. Some of the rabbis ere sympathetic and understanding. Some are unfeeling, even rough, end occasionally undignified. Johanna shelters and helps her girls. They are beautiful people, the says. They are taking a step which requires spiritual strength, courage, integrity. She often wonders if the Sabra boy the aces i« worthy of the precious, sensitive, human being he is getting. Johanna herself has teen life. She was bom in Hamburg to a religious family which left Germany in March, 1939. Fate cent them, of all place*, to Albania. They spent more than six of the war years there. some of the time underground when the Nazis occupied in 1943. She met her husband in New York in 1952, and later they came to Israel. Her husband is an engineer.

To the Editor: In her column, reminiscent of Ihe '30s, Bert Lewis mentioned the lien FAIHY cracker. I especially remember this item becau&c it was one of the product* I distributed as a talesman for the National Biscuit Company, now known as Nabisco. NBC took over the Iten Biscuit Co., owned by the Bnrmettler family, and retained the Itcn FAIRY cracker, top of the line in the biscuit industry, until competition forced its discontinuance. Early Omaha grocers will remember the product. My territory was North Omaha, and my>be«t customer was the Ed Gilbert store on 24th & Fort. Ed had one of top quality stores in Omaha at the time.

To the Editor: A generous Omaha community is responding to the call for kosher food and cosh donations for local Jewish families who would not otherwise l « able to enjoy a traditional holiday dinner. Many more food items must be deposited in the tzedakan bin located in the lobby of the Jewish Community Center, until Sept. 2, to ensure the success of this worthwhile project. Food items will then be boxed and delivered by members of the tzedakah committee of Jewish Family Service. Because of the wide variety of foods used on Rosh Hashunah, caah donations will be appreciated and used to put • chase perishable or other appropriate foods. Checks should I* made out to Jewish Family Service and mailed to the office al the JCC. Families on the receiving end of the holiday food diitri- * Inition are appreciative and thank oil whose spirit of sharing contributes so much to their holiday observance. Molllne Cossman

EIAI: bouncingback By M.J. Rosenberg Near East Report El Al, the ulrlin* of luracl, la recovering with "amazing •peed" according to its general manager for North America, David Schneider. Schneider is, of course, referring to the last minute rescue of £1 Al which put its planes back in the air on Jan. 30,1983. In the days and weeks prior to Jan. 30, it looked like the end of the road for the airline which is one of Israel's great iucceu (torie* and an important symbol of Jewish nationhood EJ Al'i biggest problem was its huge deficits. The airline was losing money on every flight. T h e n wtre also labor problem! and battles with the government over the issue of flying on the Jewish Sabbath. The government inaitted that El Al not fly on the day of rest while El Al employee! took to the tarmac to demonstrate against any Sabbath shutdown. But the big problem was financial — not religious. The Israeli government — which owns 98 percent of El Al — gave the airline an ultimatum. Either it would find a way to operate in the black or it would be closed. In round-theclock sessions, El Al't managers, labor officials, and the government struggled to come up with a package that would save El Al. In the end, they succeeded. The compromise package forced El Al to reduce its work force by 20 percent. It also streamlined future labor negotiations by consolidating what had been eight separate labor unions into one union of El Al workers. In the future, El Al would face only one round of labor negotiations rather than a succession of them.

travellers who had grown accustomed to other airlines during the various El Al strikes and work stoppages might not return even if El Al did. It is now clear that the El At passenger is a faithful one. Despite the number of airlines now flying to Tel Aviv — including several cut-rate charter outfits — El Al's passengers are filling its 15 jets to capacity. It even appears that the airline's new Sabbath policy is not hurting it as Orthodox Jewish passengers who had been flying other airlinca are now returning to show appreciation for the Sabbath policy. The airline's improved position is ollowing it to expand. It Is «dding six of the new widebody Boeing 767s to its fleet. (The older 707 is being phased out). El Al's purchase of the American-built Boeing plane is good news for the U.S. • aircraft industry which has been going through some bad times. El Al is the only foreign airline which has chosen to use an American-built plane for its European flights. Its competitors have all chosen the widebody A-30O airbus which is manufactured by a European consortium. El Al't survival is important news for all travellers and would-be travellers to Israel. A recent flight on El Al demomtrated that flying on Israel's airline is still a unique experience. While atill on the ground at New York's Kennedy airport, the atmosphere on board was already "Tel Aviv." Passengers crowded the aisles greeting old and new friends. High school kids on a youth group trip bunt into spontaneous song with little provocation. Small Israeli children, flying home without their parents, allowed themselves to be temporarily adopted by friendly strangers. The happy din never let up.

The "new" El Al took wing last winter amidst fears that

The (light itself was, as flights are supposed to be, uneventful. The non-mop run took Wh hours — just 15 minute* longer than scheduled. The food and service were excellent. But it was in the flight's conclusion that El Al showed its touch. As the 747 descended into Israel, the pilot came on to nay that passengers on the left side of the plane could now glimpse the coast of Israel out of their windows. Tho entire plane — including travellers who had made the trip a dozen limes — strained to take in the sight. The pilot came on again to welcome his passengers "to our home, Israel." Then came the prerecorded tape of "Hevcnu, Shalom Alcichcm," the passengers and crew Kinging and clapping, and flight (KM was on the ground. For this airline, n flight to Israel i» mill Aomething to sing about.

Hello Jerusalem coverage On July 27, 248 new immigrants from the U.S. and Canada arrived in Israel on a special flight entitled "Kadima Allya". This was the largest group of North American Immigrant* to ever arrive on one hand. The Jewish Agency, in cooperation with the North American Aliya Movement and the Association ot Americans and Canadians in Israel organized a special ceremony at Ben Gurion Airport. Addressing the crowd were Israel's top leaders in the field of immigrant absorption — David Levy, deputy prime minister, Raphael Kotlowitz — chairman of the Department of Immigration and Absorption of the Jewish Agency and others. The "Hello Jerusalem" crew was on hand to film the ceremony and to accompany the new immigrants during their first steps In Israel. This film can be seen on the "Hello Jerusalem" Summer Special appearing on Sunday, Sept. 4, at 4 p.m. Satellite Program Network (Cox Cable 29). Some of the other events of the summer to be featured will be American sculptor George Segal's exhibit at the Israel Museum, Tel Aviv seashore action, music in Jerusalem, and Jerusalem's Bczalel Art Academy end-of-tho-ycar exhibit. Lea Zindcr will again be hosting the weekly panoramic look at Israeli life. The program airs a second time each week on Wednesday afternoons at 2:30 p.m. on SPN.

Gabirol is known both as philosopher and poet. !nd«d one of his biographers call* him "the pott for philosophers and the philosopher for pott*". The poem in the Selihot is, in fact, a philosophical poem, with a very lober view of human life. Gabirol is impressed with and oppressed by the sheer weight of pain man must bear, by the tragic unte of alienation as he wonders at his role in the universe; and by the crushing burden of his tinfulnefts, his failures, and his shortcomings. The poem i» perfect for Selihot, it was chosen by the compiler of this edition because it sounds just the right note for the mood of tho worshiping Jew: he in sobered by the thoughts of the Days of Awe; he is aware of his moral failings, if not overwhelmed by them; he is full of doubts about the authenticity of his life, or even of all human life. Fortunately, Judaism doc* not let »uch a mood govern our tpiriu very long, and the Holy Day* themwlvr* <!i>.;wl it. But of particular interest is another [xxin of Gnbirul, in which he *<•<.-» life quite differently. Here tic in not impressed with dark colon*, life's pains and it* Mrnso of alienation and it* sinfulnets. These three on* overbalanced and overcome by t lire-* thoui(hta of quite n different hue.

Mountain and valley, sea and plain, tun and rain, changing seasons, end the flower in the crannied wall, all ttem to be stupendous and overwhelming. The earth is God's, even as are the heavens. But He has given it to man. And, third Gabirol is lifted end exalted by the t h o u g h t t h a t he ha a thought, that his mind functions. Anticipating the great DenCartes, he is constrained to accept life and approve of it as God'* gift: becauite God has (riven man the functioning mind. "I think," Gabirol seems to be saying, "I thinSs: therefore God is good," With Gabirol, then, we approach Selihot and the Day* of Awe witli a sens* of owe. But with him too we ' should emerge from thi* period of introspection with renewed vi^or and »ttt, with an affirmation of life and on; eagernen* for it.

By Susie Kirshenbaum The past three monthi have been very busy for Ediar BBG #710. On July 20 we had a rush with AZA #1. We met at Dam Site 16 for a successful picnic. We then went to Brian Ysmpolsky's for a house party — a fun time was had by all. Our lost rush party was on Aug. 6 with Chairn Weizmann #1510. We met at the JCC where we went on a scavenger hunt. We then said goodbye to the hoys and Kdiar had their annual •lecpovcr at the JCC. Finally, the day came when the freshman had to pledge their s e l e c t e d chapter. On Aug. 11 Ediar gained tteven new members — Teri Rainish, Mindy Dloogoff, Shayna Rimmerman, Jill Cohn, Julie Hnckol, Laura Brodkcy and Wendy Kalzman. Ediar says welcome!

Magic Theater creates twilightish Dingaling * By David Bittner What's this? Has the summer seen yet another spin-off of the Twilight Zone? "Dingaling," the spooky Dhow currently playing at the Magic Theater, bear* amazing resemblances to the Mason's popular film inspired by the eerie TV series of 20 years ago. Firit of aJl, the "zone" between street and theater is virtually dimensionlesa. As in the film, once you enter the door (escorted by figure* in black hoods), you leave one world behind and enter another. Also, as in the film, there is a pre show to prepare you for the main event. With this difference — "Dingaling" takes advantage of being live theater to involve the audience in a hands-on experience. Everyone in the house is blindfolded and asked to dip

theirfingersinto bowlsful of human pancreai**, eyeballs, and brains. "Trust us," hisses director Jo Ann SchmuJman as the roomful of people try to determine what they're really feeling (playtex gloves, melon balls, spaghetti?) and laughter and mild oaths fill the air. The themes and apparatus of "Dingaling" are himilar to those of the film, a!»o. Set in a Rocky Mountain resort where a young couple has come to "work out" their relationship but only end up getting cabin fever, the show touches upon racism, war, divine retribution for kins, the pervasive and pernicious influence of TV, plastic personalities, mind control, and tick relationships. To top off the top*y-turvy evening, the cast applauds itself at the end of the chow. Jo Ann Schmidmnn, too, can congratulate herself on another succewful venture into experimental theater.
