B y Morris Matin* When Eugene H. Freund went to Africa on a teaching miuion some yean ago, he anticipated challenges and powibly even high adventure*.

Beth Israel's rebbe Years ego, the annual testimonial dinner at Beth Israel Synagogue was the toast of the town. Those attending were treated to outstanding programs featuring celebrities and statesmen. Famous entertainer Eddie Cantor and President Harry Truman were just two that immediately come to mind. The testimonials — although ended because of their mounting cost and huge success — are still considered to be among the most outstanding social events ever held in Omaha. Photographs of these great events are still present in Omaha and the casual visitor to Dan Gordman's office can see many examples in places of honor. Mr. Gordman, a past president of Beth Israel, was one of the key figures in promoting these major dinners. Now — after a long lapse — Beth Israel has returned with a testimonial dinner that may well be the best ever. More than 500 congregants, community leaders, and members of the Nadoff family jammed Beth Israel social hall Sunday night to conclude a weekend of honor for Rabbi Isaac Nadoff and rcbbitain Jeanette Nadoff. The occasion was billed as the Chai dinner to mark Rabbi Nadoffs 18th year of service to Beth Israel. This was an emotional evening of the first order. Love for the Nadoffs and gratitude for their services were evident in the series of accolades and acknowledgements as well as the presentations and entertainment. One of the most memorable momenta of the evening occurred when Rabbi Nodoff thanked his congregation for bringing his children together from Chicago, Cleveland and even from Israel. "A rabbi doesn't get much of an opportunity to be with his family . . . he is obligated to upend the holidays and much of his remaining time with his congregational family," the rabbi pointed out. Another highlight involved the reading of many congratulatory messages from the many rabbis in the Nadoff family, from colleagues and from friends throughout the country. During the presentations, Morton L. Glass announced that an endowment program would be initiated to ensure the future viability of Beth Israel Synagogue. He said that a tree of life would be located in the synagogue shortly BO that donations could be made in honor of the Nadoffs. The outpouring of affection for the Nadoffs came at a time, coincidentally, when the couple was celebrating their 35th year of marriage. In behalf of the entire community and members of the rabbinate everywhere, we salute those at Beth Israel who made this great evening possible. On too many occasions, a congregational rabbi is taken for granted. When a rabbi, rebbitsin, and congregation mesh — such as at Beth Israel — a brilliant past becomes an enjoyable present and the possibilities for the future are astonishing. Now, on to double chai.

Peace Now therefore actually defers the attainment of a real peace, Raful nays.

A soldier lince he joined tha Polmach at the age of 17, end famous for his military exploit*, he also had a reputation for taciturnity. He never made speeches. He answered question* in monosyllables.

People talk critically of our being "conquerors", h» says. "I'd rather that we conquer them, than they conquer us, and let's be under no illusions what that would mean."

To the Editor: My congratulations to Nancy Pearlman for doing such a mittvah for the residents of the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home. Her weekly visits, I am sure, are certainly looked forward to by the rciident* end serve as a wonderful way to entertain. It is certainly not my intent to sell Nancy short, and to be honest, I have never had the pleasure of meeting her, however, your »eporter, or perhaps the Press should check their facts before printing a story. It would appear that, according to the orticle, that this type of program was nonexistent until two years ago. This is not correct. Liberty Faier was doing the Sing-A-Long program as long as at least five years. She did it as a volunteer and it was held then at the Dr. Shcr Home. There ha» also been a Choral Group staffed with professionals as long ago as four years. This program, sponsored by the Bureau, waa originally staffed by Mndelienc Firestone as i u director and Shirley Schwartz aa i u accompanist. For the past three yean, this program has been staffed by Judy Aden as ita director and Shirley Schwartz aa its accompanist. The Sing-A-Long therefore is not a new and innovative program. It is merely a continuation of an old reliable method. As I said, my criticism is certainly not with Mrs. Pearlman — it is with the lack of facts. Nancy, keep up the good work — volunteers are few and far between and you are a rare commodity. TobyForbca

To tbo Editor: Mr. Sid Osten'a letter to the editor in the Oct. 28 issue of the Jewish Press makes some salient observations. j
I agree with his statement that the Jewish community is proud of Senator Ed Zorinsky and his remarkable political career. But one would be hard pressed, as Mr. Ostcn points out, to discern this from reading the Jewish Press. I believe that no Jewish person from Nebraska has ever achieved as high a political office nor served with higher distinction than Senator Ed Zorinsky has an dinctor of
OPPD, mayor of Omaha and now as U.S. Senator in his second term. The J e w i s h Press as a media spokesperson should more actively reflect the pride and retpect that tha Omaha Jewish community has for it* prominent citizens. I refer, among others, to Nebraska Supreme Court Judge — recently retired — Donald Brodkey or Senator Ed Zorinsky or Judge Sam Cooper or Judge Jerry Gitnick, as well as Jewish City Council people and County Commissioners. White one may not always agree with the opinions or politics of such leaders the J e w i s h Presa could do considerably better in giving unbiased coverage to our Jewish citizens who have distinguished themselves in service to the community at large. Let us not forget the discontent that arose when an outstanding Jewish citizen was elected King of Ak-Sar-Ben — only to receive scant notice in the J e w i s h Press. I hope that the J e w i s h Press has as one of its goals to give fuller recognition to all the Jewish men and women of achievement in government Ond civic affairs. All of us, and in particular our younger people, need to be reminded — and to be proud — of these civic accomplishment* by the Jewish members of our Omaha community. Dr. Beaton Kutlcr

By Bert Lewis Whether or not history was your favorite subject in school, you have to believe that when it's the history of the Jewish people in the state of Nebraska, it become* fascinating. The fledgling Nebraska Jewish Historical Society has aroused the interest of many Omahana and former Omahanit, who have responded to a story printed in Jewish newspapers all over the country, We naked to hear from former locnla, in en effort to both glean information in general, and for help in assembling a "giant address book". Dorothy Riekes sent a copy of a clipping originally
sent to her by Ethel Klutznick. It was on article written by Robert MeMorris in the Omaha World Herald: "Back in 1856, when Omaha was hardly big enough to be rated a village, no one had heard of "prefabricated house*". But that very year, in September, Aaron Cahn, his wife and Mm. Calm's brother, Meyer Hellman, came to town, freighting with them the makings of a complete house. Thus was established the vanguard of Omaha's Jewish community." And this came from Dorothy Saltzman Sokol in L. A. When Moses and Anna Saltzman reached Ellis Inland with their children, after leaving Lechkivitz (a (tmnll Russian community), they intended to travel west to California. Enroute they Skip and Karen Richards lost most of their money to of Wentboro, Maes, an- thievet and consequently nounce the Oct. 22 birth of decided to stay temporarily a daughter.

Very responsible women for housecleaning, excellent references. Phono 733-8140.
It is therefore reasonable to assume that descendants from thews Ltchkivitz families are still around Omaha and Council Bluffs. If this applies to YOU, please let the NJHS know, This is from Rachel Auerbach of Silver Springs, Maryland. My father, Solomon D. Cohn, became a resident of Omaha in about 1908 upon his arrival from the old country. As I understand it, he was recruited to come to work for the Union Pacific Railroad as a toolmaker. At the end of this work, he opened a gunsmith shop which I believe was located in the 2400 block of Cuming street. The shop wan later moved and expanded to a general hardware store, located on ICth street. At one time he also served an principal of the "Chedar", a part time endeavor. These arc excerpts from only n few of the many letters received by the NJHS. We invite you to help compile the history of Nebraska Jews; bhnring pictures, official papers, newspaper clippings or nny memorabilia having to do with the Jews of Nebraska and Iowa will contribute significantly to this project. In fact, here's a specific we're now looking for: the names of people born at the old Wise Memorial Hospital or anyone otherwise connected with that facility. Well, that's it. It's your story . . . won't you help us write it?
