If you are a first, second, or third generation American Jewish woman, it is probably difficult to envision your relative* stepping pff the boat at Ellis bland. That's where many of our Jewish roots began in America: New York City. Now Is your chance to explore your heritage, by participating in the Women's Division Campaign "Know Your Roots" mission to New York City, March 4-6.
On the Lower East Side Jewish merchants still hang their wares outside their stores, try to strike a deal with customers, and call from pushcarts at street corners. AH this is combined with the sights and sounds of New York City.
The focus of the three-day mission will revolve around the city which is still the world center of American Jewish activity. Included in the itinerary will be a visit to the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, and a luncheon with Joan Lovie, wife of Israeli Consul Genera! Naphtali Lovie.
A minimum gift is required for this mission: $1000 for the 1984 Campaign, or a 16% increase over the 1993 regular gift for those who gave $1000 or more. The cost for efcch woman will be between J3OO-$360 depending on airfare and when reservations are received. This cost will be all inclusive.
There will be private tours of the Crown Heights Lubovitch neighborhood and the Jewish Museum. Women on this mitsion will re-live the "immigrant experience"
All women interested in the "Know Your Roots" mission should contact Mission Chairman, Jeri Kaplan, or Women's Division Chairman, Marcia Cohen.

Our accomplishment* for the past year have been varied mid numerous. We amended our bylaws giving greater autonomy to our operating agencies. The Federation Foundation was treated and charged with the vital task of expanding and managing ovir entire endowment program. As ii rofiijlt of exceptional effort by many dedicated volunteer*, we achieved the highest combined total ruined in our annual Campaign since the Yom Kippur War of a decade ago. The regular campaign raised $1,724,000 an<l $211,000 wns raised for the npccial fund for Israel. Many new endowments and scholarship funds were added in 1'JH.') including: The Nancy and Don Grecnbcrg Scholarship Fund, the Nate Sherman Scholarship Fund and the Sandra Feldmon Memorial Scholarship Fund. The Al dayman Memorial Fund, the Jewish Teen leadership Award Fund and the bcqueM* of gertrudo Hollander and Gertrude Wolfgon will provide additional benefits to the community in perpetuity. A successful campaign to improve our outdoor facilities received fund* toward* that goal from the Carl Frohm Foundation, the Omaha Notional Hank, InterNorth and Mutual of Omaha. Our leadership development program was revitalized in recognition of the need to involve and motivate new leaders. The program has <i broad agenda, both local and national, and focuses on the education of the participant to enahle each to reach their fullest potential. Ultimately, the Omaha Jewish community and all its organizations will benefit. The Newcomer's Committee reached out to those joining our community. The functions were well attended and friendships were formed making the new arrivals feel welcome. The Federation studied itwif in an effort to" improve its efficiency. We implemented an evaluation of the mission program, completed Phase 11 of t he evaluation of the Jewish pre«s nnd initiated an evaluation of the Bureau of Jewish Education. The*« studies will provide the basis for future planning and effective utilization of available funds. Omahan* traveled to Washington, D.C. in two separate missions, and participated in the 1'rcsidcnt'n Mission and Midwest Regional Mission to Israel. These programs broadened the outlook of the participant*, while, at the same time, enabled them to express their view* to U.S. and Israeli leaders.

Ron Paul (R Texas) says the Palestine Utteration Organization that the U.S. had "rescued from defeat" a year ago" is now shooting at our Marines" in I-olmnon.

Throughout the- yeur, the Committee wrestled with wales problems ,resiu'lmB from a sluggish ectmomy and turnover in the sales department. However, at year's end, sales improved KuliBtiintiiilly. The tmleH improvement plus close control over coRts enabled the agency to think in terms of ontargft budget ing near the close of the year. As in post years, the weekly ifisues and the special holiday iB»ue» attempted to provide a full range of news and information to the readership. The fi4-page Pasfiover JRsue concentrated on Jewish ed* ucation and the beautiful Richman Gordman color ad in Hebrew on the back cover was awarded a prize in industry competition. The 72-page New Year issue had at its theme the 10th anniversary of the Jewish Community Center's new building. This issue utilized a four-color photograph for the front cover and compliments were received from local and national readers. During the year, Ihe editor-in-chief joined several of his colleages throughout the country on a American Jewish Press Association mission to Israel. A trip to Southern Lebanon was part of this mission. Scores of photographs and numerous stories appeared in both holiday and regular issues reporting on the mission. Because of the attention needed to solve sales problems,,' the proponed Jewish Press seminar had to be postponed. A date for the program has not yet been set. Meanwhile, the committee's subcommittees were meeting, on a regular basis and plans for upcoming activities were under discussion. One of the new ideas under consideration is for the Jewish Press to publish a quality magazine with four-color advertising. If the Committee ultima tely approves, {his, project, the new product may see the light of day toward the end of ViM.

Editorials work A newspaper publishes editorials to express a strong point of view. This newspaper is no exception. In this paper, editorials are presented on international, national, regional, and local issues. The editorials normally call for some type of action although the writer certainly does not expect the earth to shake when views are presented. Thus, it is most gratifying to find that two local editorials have brought about a measureable response. Both of the editorials were directed to the youth of the community and steps are under way to implement the recommendations in the respective editorials. The first of the two involved the setting up of a memorial in Omaha to commemorate the beginning here of the international AZA organization. A committee has been formed and plans are being made to conduct a fund-raising campaign and to develop a suitable memorial. The second editorial was critical of the lack of communication among the Jewish youth groups in the city with the recommendation that some sort of leadership be applied to solve the problem. It now has come to pass that representatives of all the Jewish youth groups met recently. Among those attending the meeting were Art Novak, John Novak, Michelle Dloogoff, Steve Dloogoff, Andi Gordman, Debra Polsky, Lori Stan, Morgo Hiekes, Sandi White, Ray Goldstein and Mayrcard Tatleman. j The purpose of the gathering was to improve communication and set up a system that would help avoid conflict in scheduling. The proposal agreed to was that a youth calendar . be established for the community groups. Sandi White, the Senior High Director at the JCC, will keep the calendar and all groups will let her know when they plonvto have their activities, -.. , . In cooperation with Miss White, the Jewish Press will publish the teen calendar as a public service with the hope and expectation that this effort will bring about a solution to the communication problem. On the local level, it would seem that progress is being made toward identifying problems in the community and coming up with solutions. The reader should be advised, however, that editorials alone are insufficient. Letters to-the-editor are welcome as are op ed columns expressing various points of view. Hopefully, readers will take advantage of space in the Jewish Press to air their problems or suggestions so that all will feel the pulse of a vibrant Jewish ' community.

Is compassion called for? HAIFA — The public likes a good love story, and is always sympathetic to a devoted couple who may be separated by the force of circumstances, (fence there wa* considerable sympathy with leah Leshem when the appeared on television not long ago and pleaded for support, in her efforts have her bay friend, udi Adiv, released from prison for a short "vacation" so they could lie married. Nothing waa said arjout the fact that hi* previous prison marriage, in 1972, had ended in divorce. Application has also been mode to have his sentence reduced by one third for good behavior. Adiv wa* sentenced 11 year* ago for a 17-year term, and the one third reduction would make him eligible for release just about now. Hi* case has been taken up by some of the politician* who are know for their espousal of "righu" for everyone. One U Yossi Sarid, of the Labor Party, who once boasted that Yasser Arafat had sought an appointment with him. Another i* ijAxmie Shulamit Aloni, who in on record as advocating civil disobedience to protest low* «he does not approve of. Udi Adiv is being transformed into a case of political persecution, and the present government in Israel stand* accused, by inference, of punching a fine young man because he holds view* and opinions contrary to those of the party in power. This in the sort of thing we would expect in the Soviet Union, or in Iran, or Argentina in the implication. Keeping Udi Adiv in jail ii Men by these righteous defender* of humnn rights as a blot against democracy in Israel. Who is Udi Adiv. and what did he do that got him convicted to o 17-year term? The cast1 i> well known in Israel; indeed, it is difficult to forget. A son of Kibbutz Con Shtnuel, of Hashomer Hntznir, A<!iv was arreHed by the security forces in 1972 after they had gathered enough wilid evidence to present their CAM; in court. The charges were shocking. This iHTwmable young wibra, kibbutz member, and n veteran of the Israel army, was accused of treawn to .in extent thill in almost any other country' would have resulted in his execution. He moved in circled verv much like those which (ire
known today as Peace Now, but these were not extreme enough for him. He drifted further to the left, and when he could find no suitable organization he founded hi* own revolutionary body which rejected Jewish nationalism, but espoused the justice of Arab terrorism. He made his way secretly to Damascus where Syrian intelligence officer! trained him in sabotage. He told them everything he knew about the Israel defence forces, from hi* own military experience, and provided precise information on Urael target* "worth bombing." Dedicated to the "liquidation of the Zionist Male", the group which he headed drew up a list of officials to be assassinated. The name of Moshe Dayan headed the list. His sabotage and espionage ring drew other*, Jew* and Arab*, into it* web, but before they could do any major damage, Udi and his friend* were arrested. There wa* never any doubt a» to hi* guilt- The evidence was overwhelming. One of hi* cronies, also a Jew, who wa* M'nt to prison with him, wa* given the one third remiuion of sentence not long ago after he had expressed remorse for hi* deed, and promised not to engage in any further activity of that nature. Adiv expressed partial regret for Mime of what he had done, but refused to pledge that he would abstain from activities harmful to the State. This is the man Yossi Snrid and Shulamit Aloni now want released from prison. In » sense, the renewed interest in the case i« not bad. It should serve to remind the public that legitimate criticism of government policies, and democratic expression of dissenting view*, when carried too far, encourage naive, gullible And impressionable young people to carry their opposition to extreme* which cause great harm to the basic security of the countryAdiv'» nppcnl reached court not long ago, and after receiving background material from the security service*, the judge turned down the request. One columnist bitterly suggc-Mcd that some way should l>e found to let Adiv get married, consummate the marriage, nnd then gu back to prison. Hi» greatest punishment, the uriter Miid, would U- when In* »<m, having reached an age of understanding, would turn to him and auk: "Daddy, i» it true thut you were n traitor to our country?"
Political activity limited for non-profit organizations By IJori» Hmolnr •lewish non-profit organizationi which, like all non-profit orKanizjitionx, hnve tax exempt status, ore forbidden by Internal itevenuc regulations to influence election campaign! of candidate* for Presidency or any political campaign on In-half of any candidate for public office. An organized group participating or intervening, directly or indirectly, in a political campaign in behalf of, or in opposition to, any candidate is liable lo lose its tax exempt status. •Jewish Federations, community councils, and organizations in the tax exempt category scrupulously avoid any activity in behalf of or in opposition to any candidate* Peking nominations for the Presidency. The prohibited activity includes, among other things, the naming of awards or giving citations to political candidates during or immediately prior to a campaign for public office. They also proscribe the holding of public functions in honor of such candidates; the use of the organization's mailing list in behalf of a political candidate, or loan of such lists; and the use of the organization*!) letterhead, facilities, or fund-raising machinery. -Jewish leaders, acting in their organizational capacity, past or present, usually refrain from activity regarding any candidate seeking public office. They wish to avoid giving any impression that the organization with which they arc affiliated is committed to a politiculparty or candidate. However, neither they nor their organizations are restricted by Internal Revenue Service from'upenking or acting on public issues of concern lo the Jewish community, even when »uch conduct may be interpreted as approval or criticism. '>i positions of candidates for political office. As in the past, major Jewish organization* will continue in the'Presidential elections this year their policy of abstaining from taking a position with regard to candidates running for the White House. This will apply also lo the candidacy of .lei>M? Jackson who has n record of espousing twftitionh and making statement* on issues of vital interest to the Jewish community that many observers consider insensitive and troubling, particularly his reported statement* on the Middle East and on Black-Jewish relations in the United States. Jackson did not hesitfltc to meet with n group of Jewish leaders soon after announcing his candidacy last month as a Democratic Party Presidential hopeful. There was nothim; new about his pro-Arab stand. It was displayed publicly in (TpTfSH'photograph showing him embracing PLO chief Yasir Arafat during a visit to the Middle East, when Arafat was still the uncontented leader of the PI/). Jackson has l>e(n hammering for U.S. recognition of the PLO against the policy of President Reagan and the State Department. He it remembered also for his rei>orted remark tbnt he is sick and tired of hearing about the Holocaust. Jackson's position on American Jewry has In-en equally disturbing to leaders of Jewish organization*. Consequently
they will IK- carefully monitoring his views and statement* during the election campaign, as they will do with the other candidates. There is strong op|K>sition to Jackson'* views nnd his candidacy on the part of some prominent Block leaders, including Mayor Andrew Young of Atlanta and Mayor ("ok-man Young of Detroit. Contrary to Jackson'* allegations regarding Black-Jewish relations, the Jewish vote has played a pivotal role in the recent election of the Block mayor of Chicago, in the mayoralty primary in Philadelphia, and in the Rulwrnatorial race in California. In Chicago, Harold Washington, running against a Jewish candidate, received 35 percent of the Jewish vote. Thi* won higher than the vote by any other white ethnic group and twice a* high as the overall white vote for Washington, which wan 18 percent, In Philadelphia'* Democratic primary for mayor, Wilson Goodc received only 23 percent of the white vote, hut was supported by 50 percent of Jewish voters. In California, Tom Bradley received 42 percent of the overall while vote but wo* supported by 75 percent of Jewish voters. There seems to be no danger that Jackson could be elected President or even nominated by the Democratic National Convention to run for President. There are stronger candidates in the party. What the leaden of major American Jewish organizations fear is that Jackson'* propaganda during the election campaign i* likely to develop tension on the part of the Black population, if he injects his views that disturb Jews during his campaign.

^marUtzarus Poetess of freedom and the nation
By Dr. David Geffen "The spirit iti not dead, proclaim the word Where lay dead bones, a host of armed men stand I open the graves, my people, saith the Lord And I shall place you living in your Promised Land!" These words by an American Jewish poetess called Emma Lazarus reflect her concern for the return of the Jewish people to its ancestral homeland. Yet Emma Lazarus is far better known for the verses she wrote in 1883 in tribute to the Statue of Liberty, verses which are inscribed at the base of that well known symbol situated on Bedloei Island in the New York harbor. Emma Lazarus, an American poetess of liberty was deeply Zionistic in the lost decade of her brief life — calling on her fellow Jews to revitalize the homeland of ancient days. It is this unexpected combination of loyalties to the USA and to her own Jewish people which makes Emma Lazarus such a fascinating personality. Born into a New York Sephardic family in 1849, she Mr. and M r s . Lewis White of Kminim City an- displayed her literary talent quite early and was already nounce the engagement of writing poems in her teens. When a collection of her verse their daughter Sandra Ho- appeared in 1866, Ralph Waldo Emerson reacted very posIcne to Edward I Fried, son itively to it. In fact, Emma dedicated her second volume of of Mr. and Mrs. Sara Fried poetry, Admetus and Other Poems (1871) to Emerson, the well known thinker and writer. He specifically praised of Omaha. Miss White graduated her sensitivity to the hellenistic ideals, themes which she with a Bachelor of Scienco continued to pursue in her writing throughout the eightecndegree in elementary edu- sevcnlies. In 1876 she read George Eliot's new novel, Daniel Decation from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and rondo, in which the topic of the Jewish homeland reborn ift youth director nt the Jew- touched her spirit very deeply.

INTRODUCING THE NEW 1984 JAGUAR
the essays of Leo Pineker. (Theodor Herzl wrote that he had known of Pinker's 'Auto — Emancipation', his own writings might have been superfluous). All these, together with her growing awareness of the persecutions perpetrated against the Jews, now turned her into a major advocate of the Jewish cause. In 1881 and 1882, as the Jewish immigrants began to arrive in large numbers in New York, she spent many hours with them, so as to link herself more closely with herpeople. When a bitter attack appeared in the Century Magazine in the spring of 1882 against these downtrodden immigrants, Emma Lazarus answered the charges and defended their right to life free from oppression. She noted that her proud fellow Jews, who had been pioneers of progress, had been forced to endure terrible humiliation. Her Songs of A Semite and Epistle to the Hebrews appeared in 1882 and 1883. They are the most complete expression of her program to study Hebraic sources and to promote the development of a Jewish homeland. Unfortunately, during her last few years she was afflicted by a debilitating illness, and she died in 1887 at the age of 38. In the latter part of 1883, when funds were being collected to build a pedestal for the Statue of Liberty, various poets and writers were urged to submit materials to aid this project. Her contribution, a sonnet called "The New Colossus", written in December 1883, captured the spirit of the Statue and" all that it would come to mean both to the American people and to all those who sought freedom from persecution. After being auctioned for the unheard price of $1500, the sonnet was put aside for practically 20 years. Then a campaign inspired by the great newspaperman Joseph Pullitzer led to the refurbishing of the base of the statue and the placing of a plaque with Emma's sonnet there for all visitors to read. On this 100th anniversary of its composition let us once again recall those lines from the Mother of Liberty written lovingly by an American Jewish poetess. "Give me your tired, your poor Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free The wretched refuse of your teeming shore Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me I lift my lamp beside the golden door".
