This was followed by discussion during which the group heard the views and experiences of a young Omaha wife and mother who has chosen Judaism. The discussion wag designed to allow representatives of the various congregations to gain an insight into the life of an individual who has converted and is active in Jewish life. The ultimate goal is to develop a plan of outreach to "Jews by choice". Following lunch hosted by Beth El Congregation, there was a presentation on the use of computers in the synagogue office. Dr. Richatd Eiscnberg of Duluth, Minn, demonstrated with slides and in simple terminology the advantages to bo

gained at quite reasonable cost. He said that "even a congregational bulletin can be done by a computer!" His talk was entitled, "Putting Your Synagogue on Disc", and demonstrated how congregations could find many new uses for computers. •

War and peace? On Veterans Day, a biniill group of Omahans including a delegation from Epstein-Morgan Post #260 attended ceremonies at Memorial Park. There was a chill in the air as this tiny band of veterans paused to honor their fallen comrades. A wave of compassion spread from one to another as five nimble parachutists opened the ceremony by dropping from the sky within feet of the audience. The compassion is easy to understand. One of the parachutists — a Vietnam veteran,_ landed on one good leg — the other a peg-leg replacement for the one he lost in combat. This was a visible reminder — if any be needed — of the after-effects of America's Wars. And for a country little more than 200 years old, there have been enough wars to keep the history books busy. Open your book: American Revolution, War of 1812, Mexican War, Indian Ware, Civil War, SpanishAmerican War, World War I, World War II, Korean Conflict, Vietnam, and now Grenada and Lebanon. In all of these wars, slightly more than a total of one million military deaths occurred and in terms of war — an insignificant number of American civilians. Now, however, we live in the nuclear age. The potential for devastation is 100 percent.. The need for peaceful accommodations among diverse peoples and nations is of paramount concern to all of mankind. We no longer can proceed with life as usual — our concern — our highest priority — must go to the elimination of nuclear weapons and to the abandonment of war as a means of settling disputes. Can this be done? Some say no. They say that war is a natural part of man and that recorded history proves war is unavoidable. Some say yes. They saw that mankind has progressed beyond animal behavior and that the time for world peace is with us. What do you say?

Members of Epstein-Morgan Post 260, JWV, assemble at Memorial Park to participate in Veterans Day ceremonies. Prom left are Don Strauss, Keith Peltz, Bill Pachman, Yale Halperin, Sol Lagman, Nate Marcos, Milton Margolin, and Sol Mann.

The magnetism of Israel HAIFA — Gloria was Z\, born and educated in New York. She wa* attractive, and a university graduate, not yet married. Her parents were concerned, and encouraged her to take a trip to Israel where — who knows? She had little Jewish background, and to I117 Israel wns only a country which was frequently in the headlines. She went. The life was quite different from thfll which she hod known in New York. She was caught up in the dynamic spirit, and was attracted to the people. What others looked upon an rudeness and lack of manner* fchc recognized as natural effervescence. She enrolled at an Ulpon where she learned not only Hebrew but also more about Judaism and Jewish history and her own people. Life in Israel seemed to take on new purpose. Behind the superficial materialism she also sensed a deeper idealism. Yornm was a former kibbutz member, now living and working in the city. He was crude, by American standards, gruff and lacking in humility, but he could also tie warn. He wa* honest to the point of eschewing any form of hypocrisy, even social. It seemed a good match, and when Gloria eventually became pregnant her parent* moisted that she come back to New York for the delivery. Yornm encouraged her, and so the two moved to America. Gloria's father took Yoram into his business and set the young family up in a lovely home on I/ong Island. Yoram worked hard, showed sound business instinct*, and began to make money, but Gloria was unhappy. Compared to the rich and colorful and even exciting life in Israel, existence in America seemed to her empty and aimless. Her heart yearned for Israel — not just for the sun and the sea and

Remembering Ben-Gurion By M.J. Rosenberg Near East Report ' Although he died only 10 years ago (on Dec. I, 1973) David Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel, is already a remote historical figure. Like America's founding father, George Washington, Ben-Gurion has been transformed into an icon. The real man is somehow missing. A new biography of Ben-Gurion, by Dan Kurzman. who wrote Genesis 1948, brings the prophet back down to earth. Ben-Gurion: Prophet of Fire (Simon and Schuster, 1983) is a popular style biography of B-G, This is not to say that the book i» not scholarly. It is based on thousands of documents (including B-G's personal diaries) and hundreds of interviews (including interviews with B-G, his wife Paula, Mcnachem Begin, and Golds Meir) and is thoroughly footnoted. It is'a popular biography simply because it is so readable. I read i u 463 pages in two days, all the time regretting that I wouldn't have the book to keep me company for longer. It is a tiook to savor. For me, the most interesting aspect of Kurzman's work is that he keeps reminding his reader just how improbable the Zionist dream wa». Here we see the young Ben-Gurion (then known as David Green) — growing up in Ploask, Poland — dreaming of an independent Jewish state in a barren land thousands of miles away. He convinced his friends to join him in the dream — a dream that was nothing less than the revolutionizing of Jewish existence in their lifetimes. These were no mere romantics either. Ben-Gurion and his Zionist chaveriro and chavcrot armed themselves (continued on page 5)

Perhaps Yoram would come to his senses. Life in Israel was not easy for a single parent, and she had problems of both housing and employment. Eventually they were overcome, and she felt she had truly sunk roots in the country. The divorce was not an cary matter. Yoram wanted custody of the child, and was supported by Gloria's parent* who thought she was out of her mind. The rabbinate in Israel sided with her, on the grounds of keeping the child in Israel and with its mother. Yoram would be free to visit as often and as long as he wished There were moments when Gloria wondered if *he had done the right thing — but when her growing son one day corrected her Hebrew grammar, when ahe caught herself turning on the radio for the news every hour like every Israeli, when a lump came to her throat as he watched the Israel planes in formation overhead on Independence Day, and when die began arguing with 0 tourist about some matter of domestic politics, her doubta were set at rest. This was home. The interesting thing about the story of Gloria and Yoram is that it is not unique. It is only one version of a late which we see repeated here again and again, in various forms with variations and modifications. There hove been several instances in which the Gloria was n convert to Judaism, and preferred to remain in Israel, while her Jewish husband sought greener pastures and golden opportunities elsewhere. Perhaps it takes a special kind of person to capture the spirit of Israel, to l>e caught up in i u historic magnetism and to identify himself with it and its destiny.

Remembering Ben-Gurion (continued from pace 4) •fiinti their opponents. They fought the anti-Semitic rabble in th« street* at well at their more serious enemies, the anti-Zionist Jewish revolutionary (the Bundists), who believed that overthrowing the C u r — not all ya to Palestine — would emancipate the Jews. The*e Bundists were proud diasporists. They fought to preserve Yiddish while Zionists like Ben-Gurion rejected everything about the diaspora. For them, the only answer was Eretz Yisrecl. Hebrew won their language and their •culture. The remarkable thing is just how president the Zionists were. In 1906, revolution in Poland and Russia was probably the more realuttic solution to the Jewish condition, especially when compared to immigration to a Turkish controlled backwater. But IIG and his colleagues understood that ultimately there was no Jewish future in Europe and that allying themselves with Russian or Polish revolutionaries was self-defeating and self-abnegating. As we now know, B-fl's dream — improbable as it waa — came true. He left Poland for Palestine in 1906, determined to rebuild himself and the country. Kurzman quotes from a letter Ben-Gurion received from his Plonsk girlfriend, who recalled their departure to Palestine from the vantage point of Israeli independence day; 1948. "I sat on that great and historic day (May 14,1048) neit to the radio and listened with emotion and with my heart pounding to each word you spoke, and tears, of joy Tilled my eyes. Is it true? Had the dreams we dreamed since childhood become reality 42 years after our aliya? "And B picture from the past appeared before mo, the day when we left our town, Plonsk. The house is buzzing with relatives and friends who have come to take leave. And after we had taken leave of everyone end turned eastward and sung 'Hatikvn' — what excitement, what sacrednesa

encompassed us all. That was the first great day in our lives — the beginning..." Of course, it was only the beginning. B O had a long, turbulent career. Like his almost life-long antagonist, Menachem Begin, B-G was no consensus figure but rather a tough-minded politician and statesman, who worked almost as hard at con&olid "ing his own power as he did at consolidating Israel's. Kurzman clearly believes that B-G was the one person most responsible for Israel's rebirth and for its survival — particularly in the early years. But he also points to B-G's errors. During World War I B-G thought that Turkey, and not England, would emerge the key power in the Middle East. In the 1940s, he failed to recognize the full dimensions of the Holocaust, and did little to alert Palestinian Jewry to the fate of their European brethren. After 1948, B-G sometimes allowed personal animosities to influence public policy. This may have been the case when B-G ordered the sinking of the Altaienu — a ship loaded with ammunition that might hove enabled the Jews to hold east Jerusalem. Menachem Begin was commander of that vessel and B-G's hatred of Begin may have cost the Jews needed weaponry and territory. In his latter years, Ben-Gurion became obsessed with an intelligence scandal known as the "Lovon affair." His refusal to drop the issue, even after the Israeli public lost interest in.it, cost him both the Prime Minister's post and any influence he might have had after his retirement to Kibbutz Sde Boker. Nevertheless, B-G's greatness cannot be contested. He was the architect of the State of Israel and of one of its most important institutions, the Hlstadrut labor federation. Ho was also the man who devised the military strategy that defeated the Arab onslaught in 1948. Dan Kurzmon's biography of B-G is a fine account of the life of David BenGurion — the prophet and the man.

Why is Hanukkah important as a holiday to the Jewish people?

The story ofHanukkah Hanukkah is a holiday whose origins are not in the Bible. The holiday begins on the 25th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev and lasts for eight days and nights. Hanukkah is the only Jewish holiday that centers around a war. It does not celebrate victory but the cleaning and rededicntion of the Temple in Jerusalem. Israel at the time of the happenings of Hanukkah was ruled by the Syrian Greeks under Antiochus IV who was involved in trying to unify all the people under his domination. His idea of unity was to have everyone follow the same customs, the ones he set down. He ordered all peoples in his kingdom to worship Zeus. A statute of Zeus was erected in the Temple. All Jewish religious ritea.wcre forbidden. The Jews under the direction of the high priest, Mattathias revolted against the Syrians. Judah, the son of Mattathias, was the general of the revolt

Because a long time ago people mined the Temple and a miracle happened to some oil. The miracle was wonderful. The oiJ lasted for eight days.

Hanukkah commemorates freedom from the Syrians and the miracle of the eight day lamp. The oil that was enough for only one day lasted for eight days.

Because it was like a miracle. Jews got set free and there was enough oil to last for eight days. ;'! '. • * /

Judah fought for three years against the large, wellequipped Syrian Army. At the end of the war the victorious Jews re-entered the Temple and cleared out the idols which had been set up by the Syrians. The entire Temple was cleaned. The meaning of the word Hanukkah is dedication. On the 26th day of the month of Kislev, the Temple was re-dedicated. Hanukkah lasts for eight days. One reason for the eight days is based on the legend that the holy oil was only enough for one day, but it burned for eight days. Hanukkah is a home holiday. The customs and ceremonies of this festival of joy occur within the family. First is the lighting of tho menorah. Then the family may eat the traditional Hanukkah food, potato latkes.

Man was feeling thankful for all the things he had like birds, sun, flower*, bees, day, night and the moon. • Man was lonely because there were'no people around He wished and wished that more people would come along. He prayed and prayed and finally a lady showed up. Mlaay Kirke

Man said his first prayer because he was feeling thankful and happy. He had just found some berries. He was eating them. He liked them very much. He found them by a stream. Now he was sitting on a rock watching the stream, listening to the birds, and eating the berries. He was so thankful and happy he said T h a n k you, I'm so thankful and happy." Tanya Beckerman

Hike being a Jew

Man said his first prayer because he. was feeling lonely. About 3,000 years ago a certain man was very lonely because he had no wife or children. He prayed and prayed every day for a wife and children. But nothing ever happened One day man sat down on a rock and started to cry. God beard him and knew why he was crying. So the next morning when the man woke up be found a beautiful wife and two children laying next to him. When ha got up be went out of his cave and said something to God He said "Thank you for giving me a beautiful wife and children." Kevin Binlamow

I like to be a Jew because there are many different holidays that the Jewish people celebrate. I will name some: Purim, Sukkot, Hanukkah, Passover. Those are some of the Jewish holidays. For me being a Jew means our Jewish life goes back to Moses and even back before then. So that means our Jewish life goes back to at least 5,000 yean ago. Aaron Pollak, A g e 8

I like being a Jew because there are a lot of holidays that I like very much. We Jews learn very many things on our holidays. Shawn Bohbot, Age 9

Why do you like celebrating Hanukkah?

Pegce 4th Grade When God created life Did He know there would be so much strife? When God created each day, Did He know the world would be in such array? Even with all the woes, • God said "Let it be so." Carrie Roitatoin Everyone will be peaceful. Even the worms under the ground will be in peace. Everyone will live in homes like in the garden of Eden. The earth will be polluted no more. No one will be poor. Everybody will be happy. Andy Epstein

NlkkiPaley 2nd grade Jewish Day School

Michael Kricsfeld four year* old JCC Preschool

Sammy Pa 6ta grade Temple Israel

I like Hanukkah because I get presents and get to light my own menorah.

I like celebrating Hanukkah because we get presents and candy wrapped ingoldfoiL

Because my Grandpa Gummera-makes potato latkes,'tbe relatives get together and we get to light our menorah. It is two hundred years old and bums oil with a wick.

Peace is very nice! Peace is also great! I know we have some peace. I wish we could have more. Peace is having no wan and other bad things. Peace is very silent. Lisa Goodman There is plenty of peace for me and you And lota of happiness too. Peace is what God wants to be. Please let's have peace between you and me. MarnlBerger

What is your favorite Jewish holiday?

7th Grade

Being Jewish at Christmas At times during the year you often feel pressured i by different religions. One time more than other is , Christigas. ! over Omaha you hear carols. It's strange how you nm>T bear Hanukkah sonp. In school you usually make some type of project dealing with Christmas. They tell you it's holiday but you know the difference. When holiday programs roll around they want to mix songs. It usually turns out like this; Christmas ten or more, Hanukkah two or less. People know your religion so why can't they help you express it? When others ask about a holiday tell them with pride not shame. Kent Saltzmaa r,

urged to invest in Israel Bonds, so it is timely to look at how our bond investments are used. Israel Bonds are low-interest loans to the State of Israel for its Development Budget. Of the $6 billion funds provided since 1951, more than $3 billion have been repaid by the Stale of Israel. Ali interest poyments were made fully and on time. Along with more than one million individual purchasers, Bond instruments have also been purchased by 9,500 pension funda, 3,500 banks, 1,500 labor unions, 500 insurance companies and hundreds of other funds and institutions. Sine* 1951, the Israel Bond Organization has provided over $6 billion wliich helped build every" aspect of Israel's economy. These proceeds from Israel Bond subscribers in the United States, Canada, Europe and other parts of the free world were channeled into the Israel Government's Development Budget. They helped to finance the construction of harbors, expansion of ports, extraction of minerals, the building of the National Water Carrier, and the construction of highways, oil pipelines, development towns, water desalination plants, power stations, airlines and, more recently, science-based high technology industries. Made-in-lsrael products, including high technology exports, are competing successfully in many markets and have attracted world-wide interest Bond funds will help augment research and development {or kiael'e high technology industries on which its economic future is based. This year, Bond monies are needed to: • Continue espandlng the economic Infrastructure in the Ncgev; • Help replenish the economy and offset the Impact of Israel's operation in Lebanon; • Begin a now era of development in the Galilee, now free of terrorist shelling. Among projects which are waiting for Development Budget funds are: solar pond technology, oil exploration, creation of an industrial and science-based city in the Galilee, construction of a communications satellite, water purification and expansion of the irrigation system. An increase in Bond proceeds would help to implement these and other development projects so necessary to Israel's economic growth.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STAFF OF YOUR OMAHA JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER WISHYOU A VERY HAPPY HANUKKAH! %

I Hanukkah, also known as the feast of lights and thejestrval of dedication, oommemorates the victory of the Maccabees (MattatWas, his five sons, and tHer adherents) over the Syrian-Greeks in 164 BCE. The Syrian-Greeks had desecrated the Temple in Jerusalem, and when the triumphant Jews wrested it away from them, the Jews cleansed and rededicated their Temple. The legend is tokt that when the Maccabees went to light the Temple candelabrum or eternal light, only enough oil to keep it aglow for one day was found, but miraculously the oil lasted for eight days. Since that tone Hanukkah has been observed by kindling lights for eight successive days. The word "Hanukkah" means dedication "Judah and his brethren with the whole congregation of Israel ordained that the days of dedication of the altar should be kept in their season from year to year, by the space of eight days, from the twentyfifth day of the month of Kislev, with mirth and gladness." — Book of Maccabees.

Hanukkah 5744 begins Wednesday evening, Nov. 30, at sundown, when we fight the first Hanukkah candle. We at your Jewish Community Center rededicate ourselves to providing you with the highest quafity of programs and services to meet your leisure time, recreational, social and cultural needs throughout the year.
