Faculty votes Monday on status of women

By Morris Maline • The status of women in Conservative Judaiim will face a decisive vote Monday. On that day, the faculty of the .Jewish Theological Seminary of America wilt vote on the admission of women to the rabbinical school, The proposed vote follows a request from the Rabbinical Assembly for a decision on the question of admitting women to the rabbinical school. The Rabbinical Assembly is the international association of Conservative rabbis.

The issue of ordination of women arose academically in May, 1077, when the Rabbinical Assembly called upon the Seminary to focus iti attention on this question. Dr. Genion 0. Cohen, in his capacity us chancellor of the Seminary, established an interdisciplinary commission to study all aspects of the role of women as spiritual lenders in the Conservative Movement. In its final report, presented by Dr. Cohen to the 1979 convention of the Rabbinical

Assembly, the commission found no Jewish legal barrier to the ordination of women and proposed that the Seminary admit women to its rabbinical school with a view to their ordination. The Rabbinical Assembly 1979 convention accepted the commission report and resolved to take no action pending study of the recommendation* by the Scminnry faculty. The faculty senate ultimately tabled the matter on the grounds that whichever way the issue would be decided, it would be divisive within the Conservative Movement. In the spring of 1983, the issue surfaced publicly again when a woman candidate failed to secure the required vote for membership in the Assembly. Stating that ordination was a matter for the Seminary, they urged a vote against the woman, Rabbi Beverly Magidson, and isfsucd a renewed plea to the'Seminary to come up with a decision on the question of admitting women to the rabbinical school.

By Morris Maline More than 50 Council Bluffs area residents attended a special meeting last Sunday at B'nai Israel Synagogue and decided to move forward with a plan to save the Iowa facility. The plan, o» described by the meeting organizers, involves utilizing the top floor of the facility for a Boon-to-be organized Reform congregation, while retaining the downstairs sanctuary for use by Orthodox members. David Oallner and Eugene H. Frcund, naid that on the basis of the turnout and the support they have received from those unable to attend, they plan to proceed with a plan to offer twice-monthly services on Friday night. The first service for the new group wilt take place Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m. A rabbi will not be in attendance, they said. Approximately 17 of those attending the meeting indicated that they would join the. new congregation immediately. Others indicated that they would join after a time, but would want to participate in activities now. Members of the established congregation questioned the ability of the new group to

pay its portion of the expense. An estimate of $7,000 was given to the new group as the amount they would be expected to pay for maintenance of the facility. Abe Kntlenuin told the new group that there were not enough Jews in Council Bluffn to support the synagogue. "As fur as I know, there is not a single Jewish child in the Council Bluffs school system," Mr. Kotleman said. He declared that saving the synagogue was not as important as saving Judaism and recommended that the members of the new group and the remaining members of B'nai Israel affiliate themselves with the "three fine synagogues" which are firmly established in Omaha. Calling themselves perpetual optimists, the new group selected temporary officers. "We're not going after those people who are currently affiliated with synagogues. We are going to reach those who are seeking different paths to Judaism, the organizers Raid. Mr. Freund is the interim president. Rnndy Freund and Bettie Adams will serve as secretaries, and Dr. Allan Rosenthal will serve as treasurer.

Senator Henry Jackson and the Jews By Dr. Irving Greenbcrg. • DlWeUw, National Jewish Resource Center Henry Jackson's death was a great loss fot the entire American community. In forty-three yean in Congress, he wa* a consistent force for honesty in government, for humane liberalism in domestic matters and for civil rights. In 1954, Jackson challenged Senator Joe McCarthy's committee as "hunting headlines instead of hunting Communists" and ho ployed a key role in the Army-McCarthy hearings that broke McCarthy's power. Jackson wan a major architect of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1069J which set up tho Environmental Protection Agency. In his service and leadership on Jewish issues, Jackson wait peerless. Ho was o major force in the Congressional group which developed the steadily escalating United States aid to Israel. Me ispofce for Israel at crucial moments. His wrvice and advocacy for the cause of Soviet Jewry was the capstone of his leadership. The Jackson-Vnnik amendment tied the casinjj of trade barriers to fewer restrictions on emigration. To his great credit, Jackson stood by that initiative even when Jewish leadership vacillated Although the deterioration of American-Soviet relations led the- Russian*) to repudiate the tie-in and emigration flow declined, the Amendment is still helpful to Rumanian Jews and remains available should U.S.-Soviet relations improve. The legislation which helped Jews benefitted others also and was the forerunner of greater use of American foreign policy to advance human rights worldwide. Jackson was not a lackey; his stature increased his helpfulness. Nor was ho a blind friend. Ho disagreed with tho West Bank settlement policy and told Jews (or Israel) when

Livingston grant spurs Foundation The Jewish Federation Board recently approved on amendment to tho Federation Bylaws which will soon become operational thnnks to a $20,000 grant from the Milton and Corinno Livingston Foundation. The grant was approved at the September meeting of the Livingston Foundation Board to encourage the Fed* oration's Endowment Development Program as outlined in the recommendations of the Endowment Development Task Force chaired by Howard Kaslow. Allan Greene, executive vice president, said "We arc grateful to tho trustees of tho Livingston Foundation for their generous support. These funds will enable ua to employ an endowment development;1 director and get started on a public relations campaign for this important v program." The Foundation, which will be established in the next several months, will bo managed by 12 trustees recommended by tho Federation president with tbo consent of the' Board of Directors of tho Jewish Federation of Omaha.

they erred. But he was a true friend. His criticism was respectful and his high level commitment never faltered. His leadership was all the more useful since ho was not Jewish or from a state with n large Jewish electoral constituency. What are tho sources that generated such invaluable understanding? Jackson always credited his mother, a deeply religious woman whose Protestantism tempered by American liberalism led her to reject antiSemitism. Ths Jews of the state of Washington — as few as they were — were active in civic life and close to Senator Jackson. Their credibility and interpretation of Jowishnosa and Jewish needs is a classic example of how a small number of politically active Jews can influence, far out of proportion to numbers. The crystallizing episode that gave Jackson's Jewish commitments passion and fire was a visit to Nazi concentration camps at the end of World War II. Encounter with the Holocaust gave him an understanding of Israel that would put many a Jewish theologian to shame. From whence shall we recruit our future helpers? There has been some slippage among middle Americans and liberal Christians; there is work to bo done there. The Jewish factor in politics has expanded and is the most promising clement for the future. The personal encounter with the Holocaust which shaped the Humphreys and Jackson* is no longer present. We need to expand Holocaust consciousness through the culture and through such channels as,the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council with its governmentsanctioned museum. (Jackson was a member of the Council.) Jackson's saddest political experience was his failure in. two attempts to be nominated for President. Jackson was a centrist. Ho was strong on defense; a critic of Utopian thinking or wishful idealism on disarmament. Ho warned that the Soviet Union was "a dangerous, unpredictable opponent." Ho dared to argue that "the basic decision to go into Vietnam was right" even after opinion had turned ogainBt tho war. Most American Jews remain uncomfortoblo with staunch anti-Communism, with moral realism as against moral idealism. They were suspicious of Jackson's hardhcaded defense thinking and bothered by his strong connection to Boeing Company. Influential Jews, remain tilted toward softer defense policies and are more critical of business or economic interests in politics. Jews failed to see how the radicalization of politics that made Jackson look 'square* was undermining tho moderate/liberal coalition which was good for Jews nnd for Israel. Jewish support for Jackson for President — opinlonmaking as well as financial — wavsred. . . . •• While the main cause of Jackson's defeat was "lack of charisma," one feds that stronger, more united Jewish help might have made a difference — especially in the critical 1076 primaries where Jackson faded and Carter camo to the fore. What a difference a President Jackson might have made for Israel! And having passed up Jackson's moderation in balancing economy nnd environment, or defense and negotiation, American liberals got Ronald Reagan's far more drastic policies in these areas.

Tho Jewish National Fund has announced tho establishment of the Henry M. Jackson Memorial Forest in tho American Independence Park near Jerusalem. Senator Jackson is seen here planting a tree in the Kennedy Peace Forest some years ago. "Woe! for those lost whose like cannot be found again" said the Talmud. Friends like Henry Jackson — who fought harder for us than we could — we will not easily find again. Wo should learn nt least to bo more openminded when their views diverge from our standard views and to treasure them when we have them. (In this regard, the failure of the Israel Ambassador to personally attend Jackson's funeral is to be regretted.) And our coalition with the center, as against tho ideological right and left must he given renewed attention.

B y Diane Wintroub The World Assembly to Commemorate Jewish Resistance and Combat during World War II was held in Jerusalem recently with en awards ceremony decorating th* fighters. Although Solomon Sleinman of Omaha was not able to attend the Assembly, his story prove* that he also deserves the Medal of Valor. Mr. Steinman was born in Lodz, Poland on March 4, 1910. When World War 11 broke out, he and the rent of hU family — parent*, four sisters, and one brother — were herded into the Petrkow ghetto. Mr. Steinman end hut brother worked in a factory outside Petrkow from 13391940. "Then, one day, they locked us up in the factory," Mr. Steinman said. "From there we could we the ghetto burning. After a week, they let us out to clean up the ghetto. It wa* terrible. Dead bodies everywhere." For the ne*t four year*, from 1940-1944, Mr. Steinman slept in the ghetto each night and each day he was ecnt to a camp to work. "As the front came c!o«r, we knew the camp would soon be evacuated," explained Mr. Steinman. "Everyone thought we uere on a list to go to another camp. But the people were actually put on a ship that was bombed by the British. Not until after the war did I find out that my brother was on the ship. "I refused to go on the «hip. I wanted to escape, so I jumped over the camp fence. The guard thot at me, but I was not hurt." After covering 15 kilometers on foot, Mr. Steinman met his connection. From that point, there was still another 100 kilometers to the caretaker in the forest. "For four days, I stayed in a barn all covered up eo no one would find me. The caretaker brought me food until the partisans came for me." Then Mr. Steinman became a Tighter. He joined the AL, a group of partisans made up of working class Poles. The group was located in a forest near the town of Konsk, Poland. "They taught me how to use a gun, an automatic," said Mr. Sttinmnn. "We got arassunition, money, and clothes from the Americans and British. Our group hud radio contact with them, so they could tell us when they'd be flying over to drop us supplies. We had to light fires so they'd know where to drop the stuff. "We used to get flour from the mills to bake bread, and for meat we would take a cow and give it to a farmer to kill and clean for us. We took the meat and gave him scrap*. "Every night we moved to another spot sometimes 30 to 40 miles away. With all of our clothes on we had to cross rivers and to keep our guns dry we carried them over our heads." , Mr. Steinman waa in tit* AL group for only sii months because be knew his life was endangered there. "The Polish people were being offered 60 pounds of sugar for a Jew's head. I was so afraid of being shot in the back."

Mr. and M r s . Steinman He was then taken into a Russian partisan group where he remained from mid-1944 until the end of the war. "I remember when the Russian front broke through to liberate us." recalls Mr. Sleinman. "The constant shooting was like an earthquake/' After the liberation, Mr. Steinman returned to Lodz to look for his family. Unfortunately, none were to be found. His parents perahed in the gas chambers at Treblinka and of his brothers end sisters, only one survived (Blurno Rajchcnbaeb formerly of Omaha, now living in Florida) by fleeing to Russia with her husband and three children. A cousin in Lodz told him what to do. "He suggested I lie and say that I have a brother in the hospital in Czechoslovakia. So, I had a two week vocation in a hotel there until the Russians came to take us back to Poland. But not me, I woin't going." Mr. Steinman then met a woman who suggested he go to the English Consulate and explain that he had been born in Palestine and while visiting family in Poland before the war, he was trapped once the war began. "It worked," said Mr. Steinman. "The English gave me a slip allowing me to stay in Czechoslovakia six weeks longer. 1 took a train to Pilzen and from there I got into an American camp. I was so happy to be with Americans." After the camp, Mr. Sleinman went to WUrxburg, Germany where he worked for two years as the superintendent of a flour mill. There, he met and married his wife, Lucy. . In December of 1947, Mr. and Mrs. Steinman cams to the United States with the aid of HIAS. "We <pent about two weeks In New York," said Mr. Steinman, "and then we were sent to Omaha. Someone must have thought there was a connection between my experience in a flour mill nnd the corn that grows here." For his first few vents in Omaha, Mr. Steinman held down jobs in a junkyard, at Hinky-Dlnky, an Armour packing house and finally at Vickcts Production for 23 years until his retirement in 1975, Mr. and Mrs. Steinman have a daughter in Loveland, Colorado, another daughter in Red Oak, Iowa and a son in San Francisco. They have three grandchildren and are expecting another soon. In summary, Steinman said, "I risked my life hundreds of times. Don't ask mo how I survived, I don't know." But Mr, Steinman did survive. He helped to thwart the enemy and in doing so he undoubtedly eaved lives. Doesn't that deserve some sort of recognition?

was just that I've baen noticing certain signs of —

shall we say, maturity?

Maybe you've noticed some too. For example, I know I'm getting older when the bar mitzvah i offer to bake for is that of my friend's grandchild. I know I've attained some maturity when I don't remember a name and can say "you'll have to forgive me, but I've forgotten your name." And I was sure of that maturity when mini skirts came back around this time and I could say "no way, Jose." When I priced a highchair for the first time in 25 years I KNEW I wasn't a kid anymore, and the coat of diapers nearly put me away! There are rewards to this growing up, however. I find it lovely to be able to say "I don't care if the rest of the world loves that book . . . I think it's awful." And the same applies to a movie, or a restaurant or anything else that has become popular due to mass hysteria. I find that as o person of mature years, a certain honesty comes back that got lost with tho fifth birthday. Just as a little kid will speak out true feelings, many an older adult will too. Of course that must always be tempered with tact, and tact often dissolves completely with the truly aged.

The Hama massacre: what reaiy happened? One of the best kept secrets in the world is the Hama massacre. Hama, an ancient Arab town in Syria, was the scene of fighting in February, 1982. There were news reports of heavy fighting and numerous casualties, but an accurate assessment of what actually happened there was never made public. That is until now. Amnesty International has finally come up with its long-awaited study of the Syrian Government's masBflcrt- and there is no doubt that this waa a massacre in the grand style. The best estimate is that from 10,000 to 20,000 Syrian citizens, Moslem and Arab alike, were massacred in the fighting. This was reported by syndicated columnist Wolf Blitzer in the London Jewish-Chronicle and several Jewish newspapers in the United States recently. Mr. Blitzer is one of the top Jewish journalists in the field and the accuracy of his reports b devastating. Mr. Bliuer's scenario goes like this: Syrian President Hafez Assad, a member of the Alawite sect, decided to teach his opponents, the Moslem Brotherhood, a bitter lesson. He sent some 6,000 to 8,000 of his best soldiers to the town. They sealed off the area and proceeded to demolish the buildings with artillery and aerial bombardment before house-to-house intrusion. None of this was seen on television. Little if any information was broadcast on radio or published in the print media. The Arab League put forth no protest, and the United Nations didn't even pause long enough to take note of the massacre. ' * The Syrians had effectively sealed off the community from the world press. So the question arises: how did Amnesty International arrive at its conclusion? Mr. Blitzer pointed out that physical devastation is the only reliable measure of casualties in a situation like this. Since access to the community was restricted, Amnesty International utilized satellite photos taken by the National Security Agency. The before and after photos clearly showed the leveling of practically all the mosques — called a death blow to the Moslem Brotherhood. The Amnesty International report has unlocked the secret of Hama. We now know what happens to those who object to the rule of President Assad.

A familiar problem HAIFA — Hie town of Nazareth lllit (Upper Nasaretb) was established in 1957 as a Jewish township elongaida the historic old Arab city from which it took i u name. Fifteen year* later the twin cities were described as a case study in co-existenc*. "Affluence, friendliness, economic interdependence, peace and mutually beneficial co-existence — a model of living together," one observer noted. Old Nazareth has a population of about 40,000 almost equally divided between Christiana and Moslems. Nazareth Ulit has about 25,000 inhabitant*. There con be little doubt that long term security considerations had an influence on the location of the new town, Arab Nazareth had a reputation as a hotbed of nationalist activity, and Communism was very strong there. The first resident* of Nazareth lllit were veteran Israelis from other parts of the country, but once the foundations were established, thousands of new immigrant* were directed there. Emphasis waft put on community planning, comfortable home*, and social and educational institutions. Much was written about the advantages of living in the new city, located 1500 feet above sea level. Relations between the twin cities have indeed been good. The Jewi from up on the hill do much of their shopping in the* old city, while much of the labor force engaged in construction, etc. up there comes from below. The industrial section provides employment for both cities. Nazareth lllit is clean and progressive. Its plans for the future include two hotels for tourists, a country club, and even a cable railway extending &400 meters to link it with the peak of Mi. Tabor. In addition to the standard apartment houses, whole sections of villas have been constructed. No one recalls exactly which was the first Arab family to move in — apparently s policeman, or some other government employee, who had housing rights. There were no problem*. Other Arab families followed. At first they lived in one section only, but gradually moved into other neighborhoods as well. It is estimated that today there are about 600 Arab families in Nazareth lllit, from 8 to 10 percent of the population. There have been objections and protests from some of

To the Editor: I read with great interest the editorial dated 10-7 recording the youth in our community and tho possible need fur a Bureau of Youth. I am going on the assumption the editor wnB referring to teenagers, I must, in all honesty, <wy you are partly right and portly wrong. Though inactive at the present time, the Center is planning to reactivate the Jewish Youth Council (on organization compo&ed of the presidents or their representatives of all Jewish teen groups) in the near future. We hove found in the past very little interest by the teens to even meet together, let alone co-ordinnte their activities. All the blame cannot, of course, be placed on the teenagers, they need adult guidance which up to now has been locking. We now hove two workers (Sandra White and Debra Polsky) particularly committed to the welfare of all Jewish u-enfi. Given the chance, these women will be working together to guide our teens in the direction of more cohesive programmingIt in my hope that the community will allow us the time to fully develop this important and necessary program. Ilene Klein Vice President Youth Activities To the Editor: We were all deeply saddened by the recent loss of Senator Henry M. Jackson. In his more than 40 years in Congress, "Scoop" Jackson was the epitome of a dedicated, idealistic and supremely effecti\c public servant. His far-reaching social and humanitarian concern*, his devotion to the finest values of American life, and his exemplary gratsp of the most crucial issues of our limes have earned him a unique place in the esteem of his countrymen and the respect of all nations. We are all aware of Henry Jackson's important efforts and valiant stand in thefitniggle to win freedom for Soviet Jewry. He cared deeply about the Jewish people and the State of Israel. He was a steadfast champion of Isroel'a cause and an influential voice on its behalf. We are all diminished by his passing. In recent dayB we hove received many inquiries from admirers of Senator Jackson about how best to honor his memory.

the local Jews. They have nothing against the Arabs, they •ay, especially since those who come to Nazareth lllit ere for the most part professionals, well educated, or prosperous. But the local residents want this to be a Jewish neighborhood. "Our children will grow up together, end this will lead to intermarriage. It is not for this that we came to Israel," they say. Others are more brutally frank: "How do I know they won't leave a bomb somewhere?" Some objectors have circulated petitions to prevent the mis of homes to the Arabs. Unfriendly placards have been displayed Some families simply move away, and their apartments are bought by Arabs in a process of community ethnic metamorphosis which is very familiar in almost every farge American city. Despite the objections, trie Arabs continue to move in.' Why? Samir Abu Ala, interviewed in a local paper, replied: "I caroe here because it is quiet. I was one of the first ones here. Neighbors? No difference to roe. We preferred Jews, hut since we came roost of my neighbors are now Arabs. The neighborhood is becoming noisy, and we're thinking of moving to th« other side of Nazareth lllit where then are only Jews." Hak im Ritnk, 26, a technician, said he brought his family here because of the high quality of life, lucking in the old city. All the Arabs send their children to Moslem or Christian schools down below in the valley, but after school the youngssera play together with their neighbors on the hill. Not atl the Jews ore unfriendly. The Arabs arc willing (and able) to pay any price demanded for flats or villas, and it eppeara that their number in Nazareth lllit will continue to grow. "Your Home in Nazareth Iltit," a booklet produced «om* years ago by the Israel Ministry of Immigrant Absorption and the Jewish Agency Aliyah Department, described the place as "a children's paradise. The clear air, entrancing scenery, large expanses, and the municipality'a concern for the young and adult generation — alt these attract people to the place end convert them into enthusiastic patriots." It appears that Jewish immigrants were not the only ones.

LaVonne Curtis nears quarter-century mark By David Blttncr For years L a V o n n e Curtis worked as u secretary for the Human Relations Office and for the Urban League when the Omaha office of that organization was headed by a nationally prominent civil lights leaders. Then «he applied for a job with the ADL. She was hired on the spot, and that wo* how Whitney Young's lost became the Omaha Jewish community's Rain. Mm. Curtis, who' begins her twenty-fifth year of service to the ADL this January, recently looked back on her long association with the agency. Mrs. Curtis said the enjoys the "variety of duties" she performs in her capacity as secretary now to AOLCRC chief Alan Katchen. "You might say I'm a jack of all trades and master of none!" she laughed. "I greet people, arrange meeting*, type, keep the bookx, order new literature for our library, and dispense information." Mrs, Curtis nnid she likes reading new publications that "attract her eye" and catching up on the latest developments in civil rights. It gives her a feeling of satisfaction, she said, to see that a new piece of publicity from AOL headquarters bos been based on clippings and information that she personalty has sent to the national office. Such a sincere interest does Mrs. Curtis take in her work that when the ADL moved from its downtown location to 77th and Pacific and from its office there to the JCC three years ago, she went "screaming all the way" both times. "Of course I minded.1" she said- "We have to deal more with non-Jewish contacts than with anybody at the JCC in our work. When wo were in t h e Securities Building we were close to the Church Center on 24th St. and to the offices of our lawyers and the men on our committees. Meetings were much cosier to set up. Of course now some of the lawyers have moved out west, too, but most have stayed downtown."

By David Bittner In today's world, JCWH no longer can retreat into a womb of family privacy, Rabbi Allan Gonsher told a gathering of the Interfaitb Social Action Advocacy Council last week at the JCC. Rabbi Gonsher, director of Jewish Family Service, was a panelist discussing The Shape of the Surviving Family in the seminar. Co-Bponsors of the program were JFS and Creighton University. Rabbi Gonsher quoted Norman Linzer, author of "The Jewish Family," a» saying, "Though the Jewish family attempts to maintain itself as a viable interacting social unit, it can no longer serve as a bulwark against the raging storms of tension, violence and unrest." And, added Rabbi Gonsher, though the Jewish family may try to inolate itself from Rocictal and politico! currents that permeate xocinl life, it» attempt to recover its one-time "primary significance" is bound to fail without help. To help the Jewish family solve its problems in a world of changing realities, Rabbi Gonsher continued, Jewish professionals and institu-

tions have developed some innovative solutions to such problems as divorce, intermarriage and chemical dependency. He praised professionals and institutions for stopping their unproductive bemoaning of the changing realities of the past 10-15 years and for their new willingness to provide educational and preventive programs in order to influence society's effects on families. Rabbi Gonsher noted a number of facts confronting the Jewish family: — Jews have become geographically mobile. — There has been a decline in the number of Jews

in managerial and proprietary occupations and an increase in the number entering the professions. — The numbers of Jewish singles, not from divorce, has increased. There is an increase in number who postpone marriage. He named the following new approches to these and related problems: — Increased programming for Jewish single parcntH, singles,- divorced fathers and children from such families. — Increase in education and facilities and programs for the .lewis!) chemically dependent.

Help wanted By Bert Lewis Attention nostalgia buffs: The Jewish Historical Society needs input from some of you, especially if you were raised here in Omahn. If you grew up here, chances are you belonged to (some clubs or organizations when you were a youngster. What I'm looking for are any pictures that you might have hidden way in a drawer or box someplace. The kind of photographs that such groups took from time to time at some club function. Part of the Historical Society research project has to do with youth groups, and I have agreed to do that segment. I would appreciate help from anyone who has any information or pictures. Give me a call at the Jewish Press, or drop me a note. It really would be very helpful.-

On the subject of race relations, Mrs. Curtis, the great - great * granddaughter of nlavcfl, said sho wishes the media would "quit Imllyhooing unimportant things like black Miss Amercicns" and pay more attention to "significant" black accomplishments.

The Lord indeed may be the Lord; but He it not beyond being held to account for his actions!

By Bert Lewis Have you been to the library lately? Which one? Any one . . . our own wonderful Federation Library at the JCC or perhaps a branch of the public library. If your answer happens to be negative, is it because lately the print in books is too small to read? Yes? Well let me tell you an interesting story, In the Federation Library there is a special place where large print books can lie found. A email but nice selection by such authors as Harry Golden, Belva Plain, Howard Fast, to name only a few. There are mysteries, romances, folklore, as well as others relating to serious subjects, The selection is somewhat limited, however, because only so many books of Jewish content arc printed in large type. In fact, an avid reader can eventually gobble up the inventory. Ok. Got the picture? The rent of the story was told to me by Dorothy Kaplan, assistant to Librarian Edythc Wolf of the Jewish Federation Library. A regular "customer", Mrs. Dora Wolfson, com-' plained recently that she had finished all the large type books and had nothing to read. Mrs. Kaplan remembered a special program made available by the Omaha Public Library, and put in a phone call to the main branch downtown. She learned that anyone who needs or wants large type books can borrow them

Workshop notes teaching ideas By David Blttner Four teacher* from Temple Israel religious school and the United Talmud Torah of Omaha presented talks last week at the first of three scheduled workshops on Jewish education in Omaha. Cantor Leo Fettman spoke on methods aimed at "making the Jewish classroom a successful learning place." He stressed the necessity of making good lesson plans, giving clear homework assignments, end "coaching" rather than crit' icizing pupils. He also revealed such trade secrets of discipline as voice control, facial expression, and ways of dealing with notepassing, talking out of turn, and cheating. Center Fettman emphasized tho role of Torah as a guide in conducting the classroom, "Torah teaching, learning and living are the aim of education in the Jewish classroom," he said. "Getting A's on report cards is not Jewish. Students should be graded tat values and ethical behavior and contributing to Jewish causes." Cathy Christensen of

Well folks, it's that time of year again, when the Jewish agencies of Omaha hold their annual budget hearings. In simple terms, thin is the season when each agency requests money. If you read on you will discover that it is possible to take a dry subject and make it interesting^ To backtrack a little, there are 10 separate budgets included in the process. Among these, the Jewiish Federation is one. Along with the Federation arc seven agencies. They arc: 1. Jewish Community Center 2. Jewish Press 3. Bureau for the Aging 4. Jewish Family Service 5. Library 6. Bureau of Jewish Education 7. ADL/CRC The other two to figure in are: 1. Huilding Occupancy Budget; and 2. Central Services Budget Each year it is the Federation's Budget and Allocations Committee which labors over these funding request*. They hold a series of "hearings" to review each budget and try to match dollars with request*. An overage of 20-25 hours are spent pouring over these budgets. This year there are 21 member* on the committee. Imagine these devoted souls trying to juggle 10 different budget*. It's enough to give them insomnia for a year. But all is not lost. A brilliant idea was developed. It was called the Liaifton Committee Process and here to answer your questions is Chairman of the Budget and Allocations Committee, Mr. Don Greenberg. Dear Don, When it comes to money matter* I'm an absolute idiot. I can't even balance my own checkbook. Plca»e explain in dimple terminology what the Liaison Committee is and why it was developed. Signed, Money Moron Dear MM. PIea*c don't call yourself a moron! Believe me, there are loin of people who don't understand the liaison proceu, and Mir* aren't even aware that there is one. But to continue, the Liaison Committee is made up of members of the Budget and Allocations Committee, coordinated by Federation staff members. Two to three members of the general committee are assigned to each agency. They are assigned based on each member'* preference. Each of thees »even or so subcommittees is a liaison committee. Each liaison committee then meet* with their designated agency to review the budget in depth. I-ater, a report is made to the general committee. Suggestions for revisions of a particular agency's budget are presented by the Liaison Committee to the overall committee. The individual agencies know ahead of time which particular iuues will be discussed. NeedJe** to say, these liaison committees make the budgeting process more efficient and *ove time and headaches for all involved. This U the second year that we arc using the liaison process. The concept was introduced by Allan Greene the year he came on board as Federation Director. In my modest opinion, the Liaison Committee was a great idea and so far it's functioning terrifically. Dear Don, I am wvon years old. I want my own lemonade stand but' my mom and dad won't give me enough allowance to buy lemonade nnd cup* and stuff. Do you think your committee could give me n budget? Signed, Timrny Dear Timmy, Our committee doesn't really work that way. Hut if you tell me where you're going to Iwve your «tand, I'll invite my committee to be your first customer*.
