of Council Bluffs residents By Morris Malinc A campaign has been launched to Rave the 7!)-yc«r-old Council Bluffs synagogue.

Mr. Gnllner said that a good turnout from tho metropolitan area would provide tho necessary morale boost'far the synagogue membership.

David Gnllner and Eugene H. Frcund hnvc announced plans for a meeting Sttndny, Oct. lfi, nt 3 p.m. in the B'nai Israel Social Hall, filft Mynster Street, Council Bluffs. According to the announcement, they will discuHs a new plan to "Save the Council Bluffs Synagogue" nnd perpetuate the Jewish heritage of Council Bluffs. The "bold new plan," they said, is to organize a temple with leased space at the Council Bluffs facility. The proponed temple, they said, is conceived as a cooperative venture of likeminded Jews who feel comfortable attending two Friday services a month and functioning without a rabbi. They said the dual function concept could 1)0 just the key to save the synagogue, perpetuate the memorial plaques and provide continued care of the cemetery. Mr. Gnllner told the Jewish Press that the plan wa» formulated to appeal to the needs of two different groups of Jews now residing in Council Bluffs and the surrounding metropolitan area. Tho firat group is composed of the current membership of B'nai Ifsrnel Synagogue, some of whom are senior citizens and adhere to a modem Orthodox view of religion. "Because thin group is so small in number and pressed to the limit of both their economic and energy resourced, it is possible that the High Holidays of 1983 could be the last celebrated in Council Bluffs." The second group is composed of nonmembcr individuals who arc perhaps more liberal in their religious philosophy. They are not interested in membership in a modern Orthodox synagoguo, ho said. Mr. Gattner pointed out that under the proponed arrangement, tho first floor would IMJ reserved for the Orthodox-minded group while the upstairs, would be made available for the more liberal members of the congregation.

Save our synagogue Throughout its long history, the Jewish community in this area has received many pleas from fellow Jews around the world. The Omaha Jewish community has been called upon to provide financial assistance and moral support for a variety of causes and locations. All pleas were considered and appropriate responses have been forthcoming. Now, the call is heard, not from North Africa, nor Europe, not even the Middle East. The call is from across the river in Council Bluffs, Iowa. B'nai Israel Synagogue, an Iowa institution since almost the beginning of \he century, is in danger of closing.

Shutting the doors to this synagogue would have an immediate detrimental impact to the 15 or so Orthodox members. For the most part, they arc of advanced age and they would have difficulty in arranging for services elsewhere. There are other areas of concern, too. Who would provide for the continuing care of the cemetery if the synagogue ceased to exist? What would be the fate of the memorial plaques — themselves a proud history of Jewish involvement in Iowa? There is hope, however, hope that the synagogue will be able to accommodate a new concept and thereby help ensure its survivability. That hope is to welcome and encourage the formation of a more liberal group of Jews into a separate entity within the same facility.

Invisible idiot comes to Jerusalem

HAIFA — Some years ago a group of enterprising Israelis in Jerusalem wt up a scientific translating project. They discovered there was a great market in the Untied States, and elsewhere in the western world, for English translations of Soviet scientific paper* and periodicals. Israel was the ideal center for such a project for it contained a high concentration of personnel with the triple skills required: thorough knowledge of the Russian language; mastery of English; and complete familiarity with the particular tcitntific discipline under treatmsnt. The program went through a «*rie# of organizational changes, but is still in business, and its published production is to he found in major libraries and universities of the West. Now the translation rwsinw* has gone into high technology and computer». A recent issue of The Israel Economist tell* of the Jerusalem company. Scientific Translation International, which has been built up from a «mall firm with an annual turnover of $100,000, to a major concern whose busincM last year topped $5,000,000, ond the 1987 target is not less than $50,000,000. Let there be no misunderstanding. This is not translation of literary classic*, novel* or plays. The subject i* for the most part industrial technical. The company (STI) has clients all over the world, but on important part of its work calls for translation of complex technical material into Hebrew. For that they had to teach the computer to operate from right to left. Some of the jobs are big. For example, operating instructions for a turbine engine can run to 20,000 pages, or the twer's manual for an atomic energy plant, 100,000 pages. The translation U fed directly into the computer which (under supervision} decide* on page*, continuations, layout and final product in attractive form. But STI'* computer* are teaming more than that. They

Peace as agression

Under this plan, the Orthodox group would continue to utilize the lower floor of the facility while the upper floor would be structured as the temple for use by the new, more liberal members of the community.

By M. J . Rosenberg Critics of Israel will often go to great lengths to justify their antipathy toward the Jewish state. One example comes in a recent (Sept, 16) op-ed column by Mark Bruzonsky in the Los Angeles Times. Predictably, Bruzonsky condemns Israel's move into Lebanon last year. He say* that it "altered the character of Lebanon's misery" by injecting "Israeli brutality" into what had merely been "an inter-Arab battle." (Apparently seven years of inter-Arab misery is less objectionable than misery supposedly inflicted by Israel.) Also predictably, Bruzontky deprecates the value of Israel to the United States. The Reagan Administration "has been unable to assert American national interests ahead of If-niet'x imperial designs." Those designs, of course, ore manifested by Israel's determination to hold on to "(southern tabanon — even after Israel's protestations last year that it would withdraw quickly from all Lebanese territory." Hut the unique part of the Druz/insky thesis is that he objects n»fctrenuousilyto Israeli peacemaking aa to Israeli wnrmnking. Bruzontky condemns the Lebanon-Israel agreement as a "transient public relations fix through which the current players in Washington bad hoped to buy time and mnyl>c even f>neak by noxt year's election." He also calls it a "farce." It is, accordingly, useful to take a look at the agreement that offends Bruzonsky no terribly. What would it do? It would end the state of war between Israel and Lebanon and provide that neither will resort to force to resolve differences between them. It would establish security zones between the two countries. Its purpose is rather simple: it is to protect Israel from attacks coming from terrorists operating out of Lebanon and to protect Lebanon from further embroilment in the Arab war against Israel. If implemented, it would guarantee the future peace of Lebanon. But there is a part of the Lebanon-Israel treaty that enrages those who oppose ultimate Arab-Israeli peace. The Lebanon-Israel agreement provides for Israel's withdrawl from Lebanon, but only if the Syrians go too. It is this part

Thus, the two groups would have a place to worship in their individual customs and the enlarged membership would make it possible for the synagogue to continue as a functional house of worship. At this time, the plea directed to Omaha is for participation at Sunday's meeting, to provide moral support, possibly some members, and financial aid if it should become necessary. The S.O.S. call of distress has been sounded, not by a telegraphic key, but by a symbolic ehofar. Save Our Synagogue is the plea. Our assistance should be forthcoming.

A choice A full-grown gorilla was subdued recently by a tranquilizing dart while a full-grown man was subdued with a fatal bullet. Both of these occurrences took place in Omaha. Perhaps some thought should be directed toward equipping police officers with dart guns so that they have a choice of weapons to use in their defense.

Ts'ttw Editor: I want to take this opportunity to thank my friends for honoring me on ray 20th anniversary at the Jewish Community Center. It was such a pleasure having the members and community at large share my happiness at the roast. The 20 years I've been affiliated with the old ond the new Jewish Community Center have meant a great deal to me. In that tiro" I have worked with some excellent coworkers as well as hod the pleasure of working with the finest children and sdults Omaha has to offer. It has been a thrill to see the kids that I have spent time with over the years take their place as responsible young men and women doing their part to help the Jewish community and the entire community of Omaha continue to

To be sure, editor* will be retained to pdi&b up the »ty!c, and U) provide the literary or aesthetic finish, but the basic technical transfer of information from one language info another will be done by the Jerusalem computers, the instruments with a Jewish brain. Eni'liJih and Hebrew are (he basic languages, but English Spanish is now in preparation, end in the near future they expect 32 language pairs to be in operation. A recent immigrant from the Soviet Union, whom I know, came to Israel with a (kill he hod acquired in Moscow: knowledge of tt-chnkal Japanese. Now, with hi» added knowledge of Hebrew, he is extremely useful translating vital technical information from the Far East into the language of Is-ainh and Ezekd. That is, unlit the computer takes over and rnnkes erven him obsolete, except perhaps a* a stylist. Machines with translation ability were miked about in Russia ;JO yean ago, nnd 1 recall a ntnry that used to be told about the clumsy M\l of these instruments. A visiting American scientist was mnaw.d to hear that machines could translate, and he e»ked his Soviet host to give him a demonstration. No sooner said than done. The Kutnian fed into the computer the Russian equivalent of 'The spirit is willing but the flesh i* weak. The wheels turned, the lights flashed, and after a moment, the printout was banded over. The Russian computer had translated with scientific precision: "The vodka is ready, but the meat is underdone!" The American was duly impressed, and asked hi* host to try another aphorism: "out of sight, out of mind." The Kuielan instrument clanked and groaned, but duly delivered its translated veraion: "Inviiible idiot!" fat's hope the Jerusalem computers will be a little more discerning in their production.

Thank you all for making my roast as well as my first 20 years here very memorable. "L'chaim-may you have health and happiness. "Uncle" Chuck.

of the agreement that is objectionable to Syria — and to Uruwruky. He writes: "The United State* must appreciate the legitimate historical and security interests that Syria has always had in Lebanon." Bruzonsky doesn't enumerate those interests although Damascus does. Syria considers Lebanon to be a "sister" nation, a nation which is not permitted to install a government unfriendly to Syria, a nation in which no Syrian ambassador has ever eat because one does not send ambassadors to provinces of one'a own country. Is it possible that Bruzonsky, too, considers Lebanon to bo nothing but southern Syria? If not, how can he object to a Lebanon-Israel agreement which would empty Lebanon of all foreign fortes and, yes, provide Israel with a modicum of recognition by Lebanon. One can only conclude that Bruzonftfcy docs not believe that any form of Lebanese recognition of lirael nhould be countenanced. Otherwise why would he deprecate the agreement as an "illusory peace" and a "pseudo-peace?" There is, however, one clue to Bruzonsky'a thinking. He doen not object only to any I/rbtmeise-lsrael agreement. Ho ol*o object* to the C«mp David peace treaty. He refers to the Honni Mubarak government as "the Camp Davidtrapped government." Thi» in not the firrt time that Bruzonsky has suggested that the Inrncl-Egypt peace is not to his liking. Back in 1970, he interviewed Egypt's Foreign Minister, Boutrous Ohali, for Worldvlew. Bruzonxky then made it clear that he considered Ghali naive for believing in the possibility of pence with liraeL His questions were hostile. "If Egypt has given up the military option, it has already given Israel normalization . . . how cm It have more power over Itroel than before?" Bruzonsky told Ghali that Israelis "will never allow the Palestinians to have a homeland. Never." When Ghali expressed faith in Israel's good intentions, noting that Israel was leaving Ycmit, the (supposedly neutral interviewer reminded Ghali of "Herat ideology . , , For Herut Erett Visrocl includes Judca and Samaria and the present-day Israel and actually Jordan too." To his credit, Ghali did not rise to Bruionsky'n bait. Instead, he expressed his faith in the peace procesa. An exasperated Bruzonsky said that Ghali's belief in an ArabIsraeli peace seemed "to be based only on hope." It is a hope Bruzonsky appears not to share.

Nancy P e w l m a n By Margie Sombcrg "Sing-a-long in 15 minutes." Thin announcement is broadcast over the loud speaker ot the Blumkin Homo every 1\ie*dny at 1:15 p.m. Nancy Pearlrnan is then busy "doing btt *hing" for the next two hours. It waa not always this way. When Nancy moved to Omaha thrte years ago, a friend persuaded her to visit the Home and just talk to the people who might be lonely. After getting to know the reiiidents, Nancy f e |t that they were in need of some type of activity that would stimulate their minda. Her original plan was merely to play the piano for them, but the Sing-a-long evolved from that start. It is through her inrtovfitiveness and devotion that this activity has now become go popular. The Kinging group consist* of 40 to 50 people each week. Nancy hits been conducting these sessions for over two yean now: many of tho elderly look forward to the weekly ritual and come in already tinging and dancing. Tho eame set of baste Hongs are ming every week — some in English and some in Yiddish which the resident* have taught to her. They are familiar with tho routine and like it, but ipecial requests are always granted. N^ncy does research in the library finding new songs and then has the words printed in large print to facilitate the reading. Lately a new dimension has been added with the Addition of a rhythm band. Tambourines and marocaa accompany the singing. Nancy has been on the Bureau for the Aging Board for two years. In addition to her weekly Sing-a-long, she helps make decisions on the budget, maintenance, salaries, progronirning and other areas involved in the running of the institutionNancy does not have any members of her own family at the Home, but the people have now become like grandparents to hen like part of her own family. She says: "I play the piano — get the kisses — you know how it is done." When'asked about this she replied: "What is so wonderful about giving your time? It's almost a selfish thing. You get back more than you give. It makes me feel good because I've made them feel good so it works both ways." Nancy's statement seems to capture the very essence of a volunteer.

Art Grossman read a thank you note from Jewish Family Services thanking us for the contribution to feed the needy. Vice president Horn Bon read the list of birthday hoys, including Doc. Margolin's 75th and Dave Dvorkin's, and Art Goldstein played at the grand. President Katz announced a contribution to the Mitzvnh box by Dave Slobodiaky; new lifers, George Schapiro and Julius Frohm (total nearing 60); membership dues being collected at each table; Jake Adler collecting one buck for new and better name plates and Morrie urged one and all to wear yours. Most unusual at this luncheon were the number of motions offered from the floor, and Morrie asked that they be tabled until the new regime takes over. One motion was to make the correspondent a

member of the board. It was gratifying to hear this, but when I accepted the honor of being your correspondent, I did HO an an appointee, not HK a board member, since, in my opinion, board members should be elected. Thank you, Alfred Frank. Norm Korney introduced our guest Bpeaker, State legislator Vard Johnson, a member of the law firm of Broon and Johnson.

He is a graduate of Harvard and Yale, a finest lecturer in Nigeria, and the recipient of mnny community service awards, a truly civic minded citizen. His remarks were directed towards correcting our State Legislature, including a changeover to European style parliamentary government. Presently, our Federal and State Legislatures are ineffective, and there are so many log jams that they cannot govern effectively. He,spoke on new immi- • gration laws, bankruptcy laws, and inability of government to execute policy. He spoke of the non-partison Nebraska Unicameral, which is overwhelmingly Republican. It is my own opinion that, inasmuch as the Notional Republican Headquarters congratulated Nebraska's Republican's in our State Legislature as being so far in the majority, that many issues are resolved on a partisan basis.
